Despite all the muscle he’d built up weight lifting in the jailhouse gym, Luther felt a hundred pounds lighter. He’d struck a deal with Rosie Mendez—a deal he had no intention of keeping. But that didn’t matter.

She wasn’t testifying against him either way. And now that he could focus on that annoying little evidence tech, he wouldn’t have to worry about her much longer either.

He snickered, then pulled his cell phone from his pocket. He punched in the number that had dialed him last. The guy thought he’d taken out Jocelyn Gerber. But he’d learned that those damn Payne Protection bodyguards were good at their jobs—too damn good.

“Hello?” the man tentatively answered.

“Hey,” Luther said. “I am no longer concerned about that little problem you’ve been trying to take care of for me.”

“You’re not?” the man asked with obvious surprise.

Luther chuckled again. “No. I have no worries anymore. And I really want to see Jocelyn Gerber’s gorgeous face when she loses. Again...”

Maybe he would offer to take her out for drinks afterward—to console her on yet another loss to him. After all the weeks he’d spent in jail with only ugly mugs around him, he’d enjoy looking at her.

Hell, he would enjoy doing a lot more than just looking.

“It’s in my best interest to continue with the original plan,” the man cryptically replied.

“Then you’re the one with another loss on your record,” Luther pointed out.

“I’d rather have the loss than a personal conviction.”

Oh. He thought Jocelyn was onto him. And maybe she was. She was pretty smart.

He sighed. “Then do what you have to do...” But he felt a flash of disappointment as he clicked off the cell. It was too bad—really. She was so hot.

But soon she would be so dead.
