Chapter Ten

Jamison swung by Villa Navarra. Ever’s car wasn’t parked out front, but he unlocked the house and went inside to look anyway. The small home was exactly as they’d left it, right down to the rumpled bed.

He lifted the edge of the sheet and smelled it, inhaling her feminine scent mixed with his. Satisfaction would have filled him, except he was still worried as hell. Where was she?

He locked the house and left, headed toward The Gearhead. He had some “change” for Burns, then head over to the Tomfoolery and make sure his guys had gotten the shipment.

He also had something to discuss with his bar managers—namely, a new operation. For a while he and Strother had tossed around the idea of making quick cash with an underground gambling operation, and he was going to get the managers’ thoughts. They were as trustworthy as they came, but since they’d be in charge of the illegal ring, it was better to get their input.

Less of a chance of someone getting rattled and blowing their cover.

Strother was getting on Jamison’s nerves, though. The man seemed more self-absorbed after his hiatus than he’d been before. And there was a new gleam in his eyes—it put Jamison on edge. What had happened to the man they all looked up to? Most people made positive changes after losing someone close to them. It seemed Strother was sinking into a darker pit.

The streets of Heller’s Gap were quiet at this time of day. Rush hour wasn’t for another hour. Only a few kids played in the park or tossed a baseball in the streets.

Jamison’s mind weighed heavy. Strother wanted vengeance on the man who sold his son the speedball that ended his life. And they still had Middleton to take care of. It might be the same man, and benefitted them if so.

Also, Ever’s revelation she’d known that Raider didn’t set easy. The knowledge was a hot stone in his gut. If someone fanned it, it would glow to life, scorching and spreading fire through his system.

How was it fucking possible to be in love with someone he didn’t trust?

She’d changed toward him, become tender-eyed and giving. Some of that toughness he’d broken through the first night at The Gearhead was gone, and he was glad of it. He liked a girl with a layer of toughness, but not with him. He wanted her soft and sweet and ready for him.

When he offed Middleton, he wanted to lay his head on Ever’s breasts and feel her fingers in his hair. He wanted her to call him Jamie.

He rode into the parking lot of The Gearhead and cut the engine. Inside only a few guys were playing pool. Burns was behind the bar, and gave Jamison a half-smile.

“Got some change coming our way, boss?”

“Yeah.” Jamison took a stool, and Burns put a beer in his hand. “The truck will be here first thing in the morning. You got the green?”

Burns slid a white envelope across the bar.
