Chapter Eighteen

Kevin exited the elevator and headed for Walter’s apartment, guzzling a mouthful of the bottled water he carried.

He was hot and sticky and tired. Summer was almost over, and another heat wave had blanketed the city. There’d also been a murder overnight, and he’d had a lot of legwork to do for his coverage of the story. It turned out to be a domestic violence case involving young children who’d witnessed one of their parents kill the other. He just wanted to take a shower, crawl into bed, and sleep for a couple of hours.

The guy walking in front of him stopped at the end of the hall, two doors down from Walter’s apartment.

It was weird having bodyguards go everywhere with him. Even after several days of it, Kevin still got uncomfortable whenever he caught a glimpse of one of Walter’s men. They were like Secret Service agents flanking him on all sides. When Walter had said “team,” he meant it.

What felt even more weird was walking into Walter’s apartment alone. Well, as alone as Kevin could be with his team of security goons waiting in the hall.

Kevin ran his thumb over the gold key Walter had sent to his office earlier that day. It was stupid to be so excited about a tiny piece of metal. Especially when it didn’t mean anything. Except perhaps, I’m worried your ass might get abducted—or worse—by a long-haired freak phantom, and I really don’t need that guilt on top of everything else in my life.

Kevin shrugged off the thoughts and slid the key into the lock. Before he could turn the handle, the door flew open. The bottle of water in his hand went sailing to the floor, spilling the last of its contents on the carpeted hallway. The security goons on each side of him moved in.

A young man stood inside the open door.

“Mr. Stewart?” the goon on Kevin’s right—Tucker, Walter’s PI friend—asked.

The young guy in Walter’s apartment nodded. He had dark, wavy hair worn a touch longer than Kevin’s, and a wide smile.

Tucker spoke to Kevin. “Mr. Simon said he’d be here. It’s okay to go in.”

“Thanks,” Kevin said as he swiped up the bottle off the floor. The young man stepped aside so he could enter.

Young was definitely right. He was also graceful. How could someone look so coordinated and smooth taking a step sideways?

“Hi.” The young man’s smile widened as he closed the apartment door, leaving Tucker and the others standing guard in the hall. “Are you Kevin?”

“Yeah. Who are you?”

“Matthew.” He smiled again. A wickedly sexy grin.

Kevin couldn’t help but smile back.

“I’m a friend of Walter’s. He knew you had a lot of work today and wasn’t sure what time you’d be done, so he asked me to come by and take care of Charlie.”

Kevin forced the unexpected smile away. Something about the way Matthew had said the word friend had Kevin wondering if Walter had fucked him? Too late to avoid the mental picture that formed. There was no way this guy tripped over his pants getting undressed in bed.
