Chapter 9

Jonas didn’t want the money back from Ollie, but without it, he wouldn’t be going anywhere. “A quick trip into town and we can make the transfer.”

At that, McBride’s face hardened.

Jonas almost asked why, and it was clear Ollie would have, too, but Jonas shook his head sharply, cutting Ollie off. Something bothered McBride. Was it the delicacy of transferring funds from Ollie’s account back into Jonas’s? It would be easy to claim it was a simple mistake. As his prior owner, there could be multiple reasons why a transfer was made in error. A dozen excuses popped instantly to Jonas’s mind, so that couldn’t be what caused McBride’s hesitation. But one thing Jonas had learned in his life of leisure was that people often spoke up to fill the void of silence. The longer he and Ollie remained quiet, the more likely McBride would be to talk.

“No one can go into town.”

Jonas and Ollie exchanged puzzled yet hopeful looks. If they couldn’t transfer the money, Jonas couldn’t leave. But Jonas didn’t think that meant McBride was going to let them stay together. Again, they chose silence over idle talk or pointed questions that wouldn’t be answered anyway.

“I was going to ask Ollie to leave the field and become my personal chef.”

It was a great honor. But McBride said he was going to ask. Past tense. Perhaps he no longer trusted Ollie after this subterfuge. If Jonas had cost his love a job he would truly enjoy, Jonas would never, ever forgive himself.

McBride’s attention strayed out the window, prompting Jonas to look that way, too. All he saw was one of the brothers. Even from a distance there was no mistaking that it was Caleb. Jonas shuddered. His monstrous form was unmistakable. However, when Jonas assessed McBride, he noticed that he did not look upon Caleb with fear or loathing. Ollie had said that McBride had tamed Caleb without using brutality, and Jonas wondered how he had accomplished that feat. Watching McBride watch Caleb, Jonas noticed that McBride’s gaze was intense. But what caused that determined focus?

And then the truth became apparent when McBride’s tongue swirled around the tip of his extended canine. It wasn’t Ollie who made him famished for blood. It was Caleb. McBride didn’t seem to even be aware that he was looking at Caleb while massaging his teeth with his tongue.

A dark plan came to Jonas then. He had never considered himself a devious man. Having been at the losing end of the neighbor’s horrid demands and manipulations, Jonas swore he would never be able to inflict such torture on another. But now that his love was on the line, he thought perhaps he could. In another life, under different circumstances, Jonas never could have conceived of such a plan, but he would do anything to have Ollie, even violate his own code of conduct.

Even as the details filtered into his mind, Jonas knew he had to be subtle. Delicate timing and innuendo would be far better than simply bashing McBride over the head with this shocking discovery.
