“Sounds good in theory. I actually got a picture of the guy. My dad doesn’t know it.”
“Can I see it?” Sarah asked suddenly.
I was dying to get closer, but knew this guy would close up if he knew I was around. I peeked around the corner as he showed Sarah the image. She smiled at him in sympathy, patting his arm. Why the fuck was she always so attracted to these assholes?
“I just don’t know how to get out.”
“We’ll figure something out. Do you have any coffee? I need a clear head to think.”
“Yeah.” He slid the phone into his pocket, but before he could stand, Sarah pulled him in for a hug.
“I know this is hard, but we’ll get you out of this life.”
I watched in amazement as she slid her hand into his pocket and stole his phone without him even noticing. “Damn,” I muttered under my breath.
“She’s good. That explains how she got your wallet.”
That wasn’t entirely true. My wallet wasn’t on me when she took it. I pressed my back to the wall in the shadows as the guy stood and made his way toward us. Red followed suit, and as soon as he passed, I walked into the room, startling Sarah.
“So, is this a profession of yours?”
She quirked an eyebrow at me. “What’s that?”
I nodded to the phone in her hand. “Stealing.”
Her lips twitched. “I would call it more of an involuntary compulsion. But I always try to return what I take.”
“And why did you take his phone?”
“For the photo, of course.”
I narrowed my eyes at her. “So, you knew I was standing there.”
“Oh, please. Like I couldn’t hear those clodhoppers coming down the stairs?”
I stared at her in surprise. Not because she heard me, but because she was so strange. “So, this guy tried to force himself on you, and once again, you made friends with him.”
“And aren’t you glad I did?” She turned the phone to face me and showed me the asshole in the suit.
I snatched the phone out of her hand and quickly sent the photo to Cash, then erased all traces of having used the phone. When I handed it back to her, I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers. “Try not to get too friendly with this guy. I won’t be held responsible for my actions if you start hugging him again.”
“Well, I do have to return his phone,” she said breathlessly, her eyes slipping closed as my lips slowly slid over her cheek to her neck. I pressed a kiss just under her ear, then stepped back. She swallowed hard as she finally opened her lust-filled eyes and stared at me.
I would have taken her again right there if it weren’t for the fact that the guy was returning. I slipped out of the room just as his footsteps sounded on the stairs. I stood stock still in the shadows, doing my best not to walk in there and slam this guy’s face into the wall for daring to think he could touch what was mine.
“Man, you have got to calm down,” Red whispered. “You’re putting off killing vibes.”
“That’s because I feel like I’m about to kill someone.”
“Well…maybe wait just a little longer. We have to get Fox’s plan in place.”
I didn’t have time to wait. While Fox was leading us on his own adventure, this woman was just inches from me, driving me insane. I needed her. I had to touch her. The man got up and walked out of the room. I hadn’t even seen if she replaced the phone before I was storming in to take her.
“Or just do whatever you want,” Red shouted. “I’ll stand guard.”
