“Fuck yo—”
I hang up, effectively cutting off her scream.
TWENTY-SIX
Alaska
“I will kickyou in the balls if you do not tell me where he is.” I glare at Kyson, who’s holding his hand out for his phone. I press call again, but Zuko doesn’t answer. Asshole.Of course he doesn’t answer. “I have a good aim,” I warn.
“Not happening.” He tries to take his phone again, but as I end the call, I check it and smile as I navigate to the Find My iPhone function.They wouldn’t have it on, surely?But then, just as I see Zuko’s name pop up and the street he is on, I know they do. I throw Kyson’s phone at him and head to the door, reaching for my keys as Kyson reaches me. I push past him and out the door.
“I will carry your ass back through that door. Don’t you fucking make me,” he threatens.
“How mad at you do you think he will get if he hears you hurt me?”
“You can’t track him. You only saw a street, so how will you narrow it down?” He smiles as if he’s got me.
“I’m not going there. I’m going somewhere else.”
I stroll to my car, and he follows. Kyson holds open the passenger door for me to get in, and as soon as the door is closed, I lock it and climb over to the other side, grunting as I hurt my stomach. I start the car as Kyson leans down to my window and shakes his head. He doesn’t have the spare keys on him—I saw them on the table when we walked out. He pats his pockets as if he realizes this as well and then bangs on my window.
Ha! Yeah, that’s not going to happen.
I press call from my phone to Zuko’s, but not from my private phone number, from Sage’s. He answers, and I hear noises in the background.
“You’re calling me,” he states.
“I had missed calls from you,” I say sweetly.
“I’m kind of busy. This isn’t the time for a call from you.”
“But I have something interesting to share with you.” I hear a thud before it gets quieter.
“And what is that?” he asks.
“I want to show you what I look like.”
“You do?” he asks, surprised. Then he adds, “Look, I have to tell you something.”
“What is it?” My voice is way too sweet for how I’m feeling right now.
“I’m with someone else.”
“Oh, you are?” I say, disappointment evident in my tone. “In a relationship or just fucking?” I push for more details.
“Well…” He goes quiet for a few seconds, obviously thinking about what he wants to say next. “I want to strangle herhalfthe time, fuck hermostof the time, and make sure she is okayallof the time.” I can just imagine his hands running through his hair right now.
“I should let you go,” I say softly. “Since you don’t want or need me anymore, I should let you go.”
“Sage…”
“Yes?”
“If I had met you first—” I hang up as I pull up to the bar. It’s not open until later, but I know Jeff will be here. He’s always here.
Pushing open the door at the back, I go straight to his office. I come to a complete stop when I see what’s happening right in front of me. Louise is there, on her knees, in front of Jeff.
Fuck, Jeff gets around.
