“You’re an asshole if you think I’m going to just bend over...” He stops when I grin to fuck with his head.
“Speaking of assholes,” I say. “How’s yours?”
He shifts in his seat, like the welcoming committee found him. And is loving his tight hole.
“I just wanted a cut,” he mutters.
“What?” I freeze at the unexpected break in his act.
“I did my research. Stella Raven Designs is making a fortune. I...had a contract made up.”
“A contract for what?” I ask, sitting back, nerves crawling up my spine.
“Giving me a percentage of what Bernadette would make from those designs.”
“How can you be so fucking stupid?” I shove the pictures in my briefcase. “She could have signed it just to get her stuff back. Then nullify it because contracts made under duress are illegal.”
“All contracts are made under duress,” Kinsey snorts with his head down.
“Where. Are. Her. Designs?”
“In a safe deposit box.” His watery eyes finally lift to me.
“Which bank?”
“You don’t trust me.” He shakes his head. “And I don’t trust you.”
A safe deposit box.
“Where’s the key?”
“I’ll give it to you when I’m free.” He stands up.
I lunge for him, but Nick, who stayed silent the whole time holds me back.
“This scum isn’t worth it,” he says.
“All you have is this thirst to get even with the prosecutor.” Kinsey backs up toward the door. “Sorry, that’s not good enough. You can change your mind, and leave me in here to rot. Guard!”
With his hands bound, Michael Kinsey leaves and doesn’t say goodbye.
“Fuck.” I put my head down, then turn to Nick. “Did you see a bank key in the evidence packet for this case?”
“No,” he says.
“I have to get into that douchebag’s apartment.”
I’m one step closer to finding Bernadette’s designs, but when I find them, will she just take them and leave me?
TWENTY-FOUR
BERNADETTE
“Oh, Maverick. How come my kisses don’t turn you into a prince?” I woo the puppy after the twentieth kiss on his thick snout.
“You need yet another man?” Zara comes in, and I blush that she heard me.
“If you think one boyfriend gives you heartburn, try three.” I finish toweling off Mav after his bath and spray him down so his coat shines.
