Harker paced. He had to find her before she did something stupid.

“Harker.” Adrian must’ve gone into another room because it was a lot quieter. “Ellie told me what's going on. Change the contract, dude. It ain’t worth the fight.”

“I’m not going to sleep with anyone else so there’s no reason to change the contract. She should trust me.”

“It’ll make her happy, Harker. That's reason enough.”

He started to protest but paused. Adrian had a point but damn it, so did he.

“If you would’ve agreed to change the contract, she'd be there with you now. Is it worth all this if you’re not planning on fucking someone else?”

“I'll think about it. Now, where are they?”

“Seriously man, I can't tell you that.”

“So you answered the phone to give me advice?” He wanted to punch the guy. “Why the fuck would I want advice from you?”

“Okay. I won’t take that personally because I know how pissed off you are right now. I'd be climbing the rafters if Ellie was out looking for…uh…something. Actually, I’d be checking every club, restaurant, bar in the area.”

“I thought I’d try getting help from a friend first.” They weren’t exactly friends, but he’d use whatever he could to get information. “But I shouldn’t have bothered. I’m on my way to check every place in the city.”

“Before you do that, listen to me. I've been in the PI/security business for a little while now and women who want to cheat don't tell their husbands.”

“They do if they want revenge.” He headed for his car.

“No, most still don't tell their husbands but if they do it's after the fact.”

“Great. Alison is special. I’ve known that for a long time.”

“You’re not listening to me. What I’m saying is Alison doesn't want to do this.”

“Right. I’m forcing her to suck some guy’s dick.”

“Fucking-A, you’re a thick-headed bastard. I’m not saying that.”

“Then you’d better speak very clearly because that's what I'm hearing.”

“What I'm saying is she's not going to do anything tonight. Keep this up and she might, but she’s not the kind of woman to pick up a strange guy at a club or a bar.”

“She might to get back at me.” He couldn’t forget how she’d been with Ethan, writhing and clutching him to her breast. If she was with…No. She was his wife. Ethan wouldn’t do anything with her without Harker’s permission. The man respected marriage and loyalty above everything except consent.

“Harker calm down and change that contract.”

“That isn’t going to happen overnight.” He needed her home now.

“Then send an email to your lawyer and show her that when she comes home.”

“You expect me to sit here and wait while she’s out doing whatever in some seedy bar.”

“Ellie's with her. Trust me, if they were going anywhere that I was concerned about I’d be with them and not hanging out here with the boys watching the fight.”

“Ellie isn’t mad at you.” He opened his car and got in. He’d go to every club until he found her and then he’d drag her ass home and paddle her for driving him crazy.

“Hey, hold on. Ellie just texted me.”

“Tell her to—”

“Shit,” said Adrian.
