[dcs_p]Mob Blog: Double Duty, March 19, 2013[/dcs_p][dcs_p]A couple of weeks ago I met a stunning blond at Houston’s. For those of you who don’t know, Houston’s is a casual steakhouse on the Intracoastal in Pompano Beach. Houston’s does a decent rib-eye, and the place is always packed. If you read Patricia Bellomo’s sexy mob thriller, Stella di Mare, you’ll recognize it as one of the restaurant’s I brought Tara to. In fact, I was thinking about Tara on the day that I met Kelly. I was sitting there reminiscing and sipping my Famous Grouse when the lovely lady caught my eye.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Kelly doesn’t look like your typical South Florida blond. She’s tanned, but not too much, and her figure, while outstanding, doesn’t appear to be surgically enhanced. She’s a natural beauty. Upscale clothing, sophisticated and sexy. The right attitude. She told me she was thirty-five.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Anyway, to make a long story short, I took Kelly to dinner last Friday. She was a little inquisitive, but I was too enamored of her charms to be suspicious. Today, I meet her at the marina in Boca, and we head south on the Stella di Mare, cruising the Intracoastal at sundown. I can tell Kelly is digging the Hatteras. I take her into my stateroom and do what any man does when he finds himself alone with a beautiful woman.[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Life is perfect. Sometimes. I come out of the john and catch Kelly rifling through my cupboards. She’s not just looking; she’s taking pictures. I say, “What are you doing?”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Kelly looks at me with those big baby blues. She doesn’t even try to spin it. I go for her purse and dump it out, and sure enough, she’s packing a .380. Not exactly law enforcement’s weapon of choice, but now I’ve got a feeling, and I say, “What are you, a Fed?”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]”I didn’t think I’d like you,” Kelly says. “You were supposed to be different.”[/dcs_p][dcs_p]Patricia Bellomo is the author of the sexy mob thrillers, Louie Morelli’s Mistress, Stella di Mare, and Louie Morelli’s Daughter.
