I entered the lobby of the Moondance Motel, sopping wet and pissed off. The walk back in the middle of the storm had been shitty, to say the least, but the fact that Luke’s car wasn’t outside the motel topped up my “fuck this” meter. I needed a car, a method of getting out of town on the road Mama Kate had mentioned, and I didn’t have it without Luke.

I halted in front of the reception desk and hit the silver bell atop it.

“One second,” Kevin called. A few huffs and puffs of breath, and he appeared in the doorway behind the desk, carrying a can of soda. “Oh, hello, Mr. Tombs. How may I help you?”

“Have you seen Luke?” I asked. “His Porsche isn’t outside.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tombs, but Mr. Carlson has already checked out. He left about ten minutes ago.”

“In which direction?” I asked.

“North out of town,” Kevin replied and pointed in the direction.

Luke had taken the same route as Aurora. Was everyone I cared about determined to run from me today? “Did he leave a message for me?” I asked. “Anything at all?”

Kevin put down his can of coke. “I’m afraid not, sir.” He gave a rueful shake of his head. “He hardly said a word when he left. Just handed in his keys, thanked me, and left. I’m sorry, Mr. Tombs.”

“No need,” I said. “Perhaps, you can help me. Do you know if the taxi service around here is running?”

“Old Bobby is our only cab driver, sir, and he doesn’t do trips during storms or at night.”

“Of course,” I replied. “How could I forget?” It was one of the first things Aurora had told me, and one of the reasons I’d stayed over in her RV. That and the attraction to her—she’d made me hard with her scent, and once again, the way she swayed when she walked. “Do you know anyone who has a car I can borrow?”

Another shake of his head. “Sorry, no.”

“Right. Thanks for your help,” I said, though it came out through gritted teeth and probably didn’t make a good impression on the guy.

Who gave a fuck?

I finally knew which direction she’d taken, and I still couldn’t get to her.

I stalked down the hall to my room, fumbling the keys out of my pocket. Here I was again, trapped in Moondance, this time with no reason to stay, other than the fact I couldn’t find anyone to get me the hell out of here.

We’d driven down in Luke’s Porsche, and my buddy had to be pissed if he’d simply left me here to rot. Or maybe, he’d be back. He might need time to cool off.

“Still doesn’t help the Aurora situation,” I muttered and stopped in front of my door. I inserted the key in the lock, turned it then let myself into the room.

Felicity lay on the bed, wearing lingerie I’d bought for her a year ago, for an anniversary. Red lace cups lifted her breasts and gave her cleavage
