For a score of seconds, the room was quiet. “Parratt wants control and he’s not against using our past to get it.”

Ryske and Parratt’s past wasn’t a happy one. “Is that the lie he was talking about?”

“He lied about what happened to the money he gave to me,” Ryske said. “If he tells the truth…”

To authorities, it would get their crew into a lot of trouble. Even if Parratt couldn’t prove Ryske’s deception, they could be opened up to all sorts of scrutiny. The last thing they needed at Floyd’s was people snooping around.

Having that threat hanging over their heads put more pressure on all of them. Relying on each other was more important than ever. Sharing her own suspicions, even though she had no proof, could lead to them having ammunition of their own against Parratt.

“I think they had an affair,” Harlow said. “Him and Ophelia. I think that’s how she found out about Pothos and got the idea to pull you and Hagan into it.”

“Think they’re still fucking?”

“Maybe,” she said. “She told me I should… Back when you were dead, we talked about it.”

He cleared his throat. “I know.”

Sensing he was holding something back, she twisted herself toward him. Still in his embrace, she looked up at him. “Ryske?”

“I was at Ophelia’s,” he said. “That day you went to see her after I got back… The day you found me in bed at home, when we talked and you got that call and left Floyd’s… I went over there. I was there when you arrived. I stayed in the hallway outside the kitchen. I heard every word.”

“Oh my God,” she said.

“That was how I knew you’d come back to your parents. From there, I made the plan to infiltrate through SweSec… which was how I got to your parents’ dinner table.”

It hadn’t occurred to her to question how he knew where she was. The new revelation made her recall that there had been no delay between her coming back to her parents and him conning his way into SweSec. There were only a few days between her leaving the city and him showing up. He’d used every one of those to endear himself with her father.

“I… guess honesty is good.” Even if it was late. Sagging against him, Harlow tried to remember what else she might have disclosed in that meeting. “I was so hurt then,” she murmured and then smiled. “I can’t really have been thinking straight, I still considered Ophelia a friend.”

“I knew I had to have you back,” he said, squeezing her tight. “No matter what it took. Soon as I heard you were back at Floyd’s… I don’t know. I knew you were mine. Karma was telling me that it was okay. That I was allowed to have you… The guys told me to wait, to come up with a plan, but… you before them, that’s what I told them.”

“I’m surprised they didn’t resent me after that.”

Running a hand down her body, she felt his appreciation for her, inside and out.
