CHAPTER 21

HUNTER

My fists grind into the bag at the gym, and I am working up a sweat, trying to get the angst out of my mind. So many things have fucking gone wrong lately that all I want to do is punch the living shit out of this bag until it either disintegrates or my arms fall off.

I’m whaling on it, giving it everything I’ve got, trying not to think about Meg and how I haven’t seen her since that day she walked out of my office, and I followed her to her apartment with the intention of making things right and only managed to make things worse. I’m trying to forget how perfect her body felt wrapped around mine or what it sounded like when she moaned my name.

I’m trying to forget that Jonathan stole from me, and I didn’t have the patience to interrogate him long enough to get the clues I needed to find the fucking money. It would’ve been wise to let him live long enough to tell me at least something to help me find it, but I was confident I could track it down.

Now I’ve used all of my resources and haven’t gotten an inch closer to finding it. It’s like the money just disappeared off the face of the earth, like a big hole opened up and swallowed it.

Much the same way that Jonathan disappeared from the face of the earth.

The final straw for me was getting a phone call from the Raven, fucking Velasco, asking me about the terms we’d “negotiated” the other night at the club. He seems to have forgotten that we never actually agreed to anything and that I was pretty adamant about not wanting to give him what he wanted.

He wants to come back and try again, and I don’t want to see him, especially not since I know Marco will be in town soon. That asshole is going to stir up all kinds of trouble, and I don’t want that for Leah or for my operation.

Leah has not busted my balls at all about Meg, and I think that’s odd. Either she actually doesn’t know, which is shocking because I figure everyone at work is gossiping about us, as people tend to do, or she just doesn’t want to upset me. Since I’ve never known Leah to let something like this go, I think it has to be the former. Which makes me grateful to my staff. I consider bringing them all something nice, like ice cream sundaes, but then I remember that they’re not twelve and ice cream melts.

Gift cards would probably be a smarter option… I let loose another round of aggravation on the bag, but it refuses to die, so I punch harder.

“Hey, there! Someone seems to be having a bad day,” I hear a male voice say over my shoulder.

I turn to see Ryan, the guy I sparred with not too long ago, strolling toward me, taping up his gloves. “Hey,” I mutter,
