Chapter Five

I grab my purse and jacket while Seth grabs his jacket, and we head downstairs where the Reynoldses are waiting. John Reynolds is quick to offer Seth his hand, while Karen Reynolds greets me with a big hug, her blonde hair in my face. The embrace is about as fake as every hug my father ever gave me, but at least he didn’t smell like he had rolled in a bottle of bad perfume.

John Reynolds is not much better in the greeting offered to me. He too pulls me into a hug, and it’s a little too friendly. He holds onto me, his hand flattening on my back, pressing my breasts into his chest. Seth notices too, stepping beside us, his hands on both of our shoulders.

John gets the message, releasing me as Seth slides his arm around my waist. “What’s the plan?” Seth asks, and while his tone is even, the flex of his fingers tells me he’s ready to lose our bet and kill John now.

John settles his arm over Karen’s shoulders, her turquoise-blue blouse more about her ample cleavage than accenting her jeans. “What’s more important?” John asks. “A home or a warehouse?”

“A warehouse,” I say quickly. “Because I’m not buying a home here if it won’t work for my business.”

“Time,” Seth says. “I have a business meeting that came up this evening.” He glances at his watch, flashing the Rolex imprint. “We have three hours and it’s possible we might need to fly to New York tomorrow.”

“Darn,” Karen says. “There’s a house for sale in our neighborhood I wanted you two to see. We never have houses in our area come up for sale.”

“Next time,” Seth says. “For now, let’s try to narrow down a warehouse spot.”

John releases his wife and digs out a BMW key. “Let’s hop in my car and drive over to my top pick.”

“We’ll follow you,” Seth says. “We need to get the lay of the land.” He reaches in his pocket and removes the 911 keys. “We’ll meet you at the exit to the hotel.”

Neither John nor Karen look pleased, but they agree. “See you in a moment,” John says, turning around and walking toward the exit.

Seth and I watch them depart. “What are you thinking?” I ask.

“I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that if they know who you are, Princess, neither of them would have held you that close.”

I glance over at him. “I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, that if they know who you are, he wouldn’t have held me that close.”

“Good point,” Seth says, his arm sliding around my shoulders. “So, the sum of us to them is dollar signs.” He turns us toward the garage. “Let’s keep feeding them dollar signs.”

A few minutes later, we’re in the Porsche and on the highway behind the Reynoldses’ BMW when Seth hands me his phone. “Dial Nick back and put me on speaker.”

I dial Nick and put him on speaker.
