I tear my gaze away from Jon. “Yeah. The creeper who lives behind here.”
“The one renting the Tolbert place?”
I nod. “He’s creepy. Plus, he’s bald.”
“And?”
“Fabrizio Salerno says that the bald dudes are always the toughest. I mean, creeper dude doesn’t seem tough, but maybe that’s what he does to spy on people.”
“Who the hell is Fabrizio Salerno?”
“A YouTuber I watch. At least, I think that’s what he said. Anyway, that’s the way I remember it. ”
He rolls his eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Jon says, stepping up.
“I was telling him about the creeper dude.”
Jon makes a face. “He’s not who did this. I told you I checked him out.”
“Why do you think he would break into the house?”
“Jon.” Their expressions tell me that they didn’t pick up on my insinuation. “Creeper has been watching this house waiting for him. Then, once Jon showed up, the dude is in town all over the place.”
Josh flicks a look at Jon. “Is that true?”
Jon shrugs, and I want to scream. “It could be that, or it could be a small-town situation. You know how you can hardly avoid anyone in this town.”
“You need to check him out.”
“I already did, Avery. I told you.”
“I know there is something off about that guy. Just really off.”
Jon sighs and slips his arm around my shoulders. I shouldn’t let it relax me, but it does. I usually have issues with people in my space, especially men. Even if I’m sleeping with a guy, I typically want them gone as soon as we’re done, but for some reason, I like clinging to Jon.

Jon
“Idon’t disagree with you that nothing about this guy sends up any warning bells.”
Avery is still irritated about last night. Granted, she didn’t let it bother her when I coaxed her back to bed. The memories of our second night together still leave me half-hard.
“I just think we should take a peek at his house when he leaves.”
“First of all, that’s a crime. Second of all, the guy never seems to leave.”
She opens her mouth, but I pull her into my arms. “Listen, I’ll have my investigator do another deep dive.”
“I don’t know why you don’t believe me.”
“I’m having my investigator do another deep dive on the guy.”
“But you don’t believe me.”
I hesitate a little too long, and she steps away.
