And…
I didn’t use my word.
There are things, lines, he’s willing to uphold, as long as rules are followed. Then? Let the Jac chaos begin.
I push open the exit and step onto the street.
I’m not shocked by the nondescript black car waiting, and a man standing beside it. “Mr. Agnossio gave me this.”
He hands me a note. I open it.
I’d prefer it if you stayed upstairs, but Ben will take you wherever you need to go.
- H.
I run a finger over his strong penmanship, and I look at the driver, Ben.
“Diamond district. I’ll give you the address.”
“No need.”
The woman is naked, but she’s armed.
“You’re Jac’s hire?” I ask. “I’m Magdalena. Harry’s friend.”
Harry comes out of the bedroom of her apartment in an oversize T-shirt withHard Cold Cash Ruleson it. The back readsI’ll also take it warm,soft & crumpled. I got her that shirt.
“Gun down, hot stuff,” she says, smacking the woman on the ass. “Lena isn’t interested at all in your wares.”
The woman rolls her eyes. “I’ll get dressed, but I have to call Mr. Miller.”
“Of course she does,” I mutter as she disappears.
Harry looks at me and flops on her sofa, picking up the bottle of cheap whiskey and taking a slug. “Dang, girl, call?”
“Why are you sleeping with the help?” I point an accusing finger at her.
“I didn’t know you had the market cornered on that. I’ve got needs, too.” She flicks her gaze over me. “You look fucked.”
“So do you.”
She raises a hand. “High five?”
I dump the wrapped necklace into her palm. She takes it and opens it, gasping. “Oh, now, Lena, this is better than a high five.”
Breathing out, I collapse next to her, taking the bottle. “Did you find…?”
“No. Where the fuck did you put it?” Her baby blues hit me hard.
There’s no accusation there, but I know she’s worried about the Heart of Dark Desires. “I wish I knew.”
“Maybe,” she says, casting a look back at her bedroom door, “it’s best you don’t remember. Yet. If I can’t find it, then you put it somewhere smart.”
“What if I lost it?”
Harry hoots out a laugh. “You? Never. That things worth a fortune, and I think you might be as in love with it as you are with your psychopathic men.”
“Your new girl toy works for one of them.”
