“Shit, Cat, I mean it. Try and keep your nose out of fucking trouble.”
“No fun there,” she says. She gives the slightest nod, like my words might have penetrated, like she just might take heed. “But I do need to get this to Harry.”
Magdalena brushes a finger against her thigh with the jewels.
“Plans?” I ask.
Someone near us laughs and another voice joins in. They grow close and then move away. It’s that time of the evening when guests start to spread out, but I resist checking my watch.
I need to finish this before I go.
“I need to get this to Harry tonight,” she says, “it’s best if we keep all the jewels in one place.”
“And the Heart of Dark Desires? Where is it?”
Cat’s mouth twitches, but all she says is, “I don’t know. We can use the fake.”
“That you had made to trick me and Jac.”
“Yes.”
At my frown, she shrugs. “Sue me. I’m a fucking thief, Hendrick. Not a saint. And in the dark world of jewels and priceless Harry’s respected. If these assholes kidnapped me, they know that. I always keep jewels with her.”
“Doesn’t that put her in danger?”
Cat pauses, and honestly, I’m not sure how much I trust her.
“Seriously.” I cock my head.
“Hendrick.” She pulls me in close, and drops her voice to a whisper “It’s actually a safer choice.”
“Aren’t you making her collateral damage?”
“She’s my partner,” Cat says. “These people are using her to threaten me, so it means I’m playing it straight.”
“As far as they know.”
She sighs softly. “I should go and take some things from here make it seem like that package was stolen.”
“No. It’s done. You’re not going in. You can’t.”
“Hell yes, I can.” Magdalena smiles. “Which is why I’m the thief and you’re the Quinate mafia god. Trust me.”
“Where’s the fun in that, Cat?” I look at her. “Leave it. Promise.”
She laughs, shakes her head. “Fine. I promise.” Then she slides me a look. “Aren’t you curious if I fucked Jac at your place?”
A jolt of cold runs through me. “Did you?”
“Did you fuck Fiona?”
I could play this game, but we’ve been here, and out of the two of us, she’s the one who should feel something akin to guilt. Even if she did fuck us both at the same time. “No.”
“How do I know you’re telling the truth?”
She’s picking the wrong game to play, my greedy little cat. So I spin her and flip up her dress and slip a finger into her cunt, paint her pretty little asshole and work my finger in. “Because I’m not in the business of lying about who I sleep with, and I’m not into her that way. As for you and Jac…”
“I need…God…I need you to put a finger in my pussy.”
