Chapter 16

Thirty minutes later, whatever excitement Sapphire had been feeling drained from her body as Zeke parallel parked directly across the street from Tre’s building. Her heart beat like heavy drums as she sat silent and still. Tre’s apartment. Right across the street.

The route Zeke had been taking had caused her some trepidation, but she let the anxious feeling go, surmising that she was just being paranoid. Sure, they were nearing Tre’s neighborhood, but that didn’t mean anything. But the closer they got, the heavier her heart beat, and the more she struggled to catch a breath. And when, instead of going past Tre’s building, Zeke pulled to a stop across from it, Sapphire’s heart all but stopped.

Tre’s apartment.

Right across the street.

Coincidence?

She could barely catch a breath as she asked, “What . . . what are we doing here?”

Zeke gritted his teeth and looked over at his wife out of the corner of his eye. As Robin Thicke crooned, he’d glanced her way every once in a while during the drive, and as they’d gotten close, he’d seen her body become more and more tense. He tightened his hands around the steering wheel. He could practically smell her fear. It was as thick and strong as the floral perfume she had on.

He said, “The restaurant we’re going to is a half a block down.”

“What . . . what kind of food?”

“Japanese.”

Sapphire’s stomach turned. She looked past Zeke to Tre’s building. “Why . . . are you parking here?”

“We’re already close to missing our reservation. I didn’t want to waste more time driving around trying to find a good parking spot.” He looked at her intently. “Is something wrong?”

“Why don’t . . .” She paused, cleared her throat, and started again. “Why don’t you just use the valet parking?”

“Valet? Have you been here before?”

“N—no!” Sapphire stammered.

“How did you know they have valet?”

Sapphire cleared her throat again. “I . . . I just assumed I mean, most places have valet.” She looked away from Zeke to Tre’s building.

Zeke gritted his teeth. The smile was trying to force its way into existence again. He thought about the photos.

Sapphire riding.

Biting on her bottom lip.

Her headless lover.

Inside of her.

Making her moan.

Making her cum.

Zeke bore down again. Would break his teeth if he didn’t ease up.

He said, “What’s wrong?”

Sapphire put her focus back on him. “Nothing.”

Zeke watched her as she wiped her palm of her hand, fiddled with the strap of her Coach bag, and then smoothed a crease on her dress. “Are you sure? You seem distracted.”

Sapphire shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“OK.”

Sapphire exhaled. “It . . . it’s just . . .” She paused, and looked back toward Tre’s apartment.

Zeke watched her. The scent of her fear was stronger. “Yes?”

Sapphire exhaled again. “It’s . . . well . . . Why don’t you just do the valet?”

“Why? We have a good spot here. The restaurant’s only a half a block away.”

Sapphire wiped her forehead again. “This area . . .” She paused.

“Yeah?”

“It . . . it just doesn’t seem safe to me.
