CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Sarah was so desperate for the gossip on Blake that she refused to wait until we took our break. She harassed me for information until finally, as I was mopping up a spillage on the hardwood floor, I quickly brought her up to date. I told her about my meal with Blake, how I’d stayed at his place last night, and that I’d decided to give a relationship with him a try. She was ecstatic to say the least.

As the pace was real slow and the only person near us was Henry—who was having his daily nap in the corner booth and snoring like a barnyard animal—I also told her that Linton had been loitering outside the Vault last night and could possibly have called me, her mouth went slack. “Noooooooooooooo.” I refrained from adding that I’d been lured into the garage and had witnessed quite a scene—Blake’s business was his to share or not to share.

“We thought it was Ricky who’s been playing games with me, but it could have been Linton all this time.”

Her nostrils flared. “That shit-eating prick.”

I smiled despite myself. “You think he eats shit?”

“I will make him eat shit.”

“You’ll have to get in line if you want a shot at him.”

“I’ll bet Blake’s at the front of that line.” Her brow furrowed. “Why are you scowling?”

“He said something that pissed me off.”

“Is this a new thing?”

“No, but … he considers Cade a suspect.”

Sarah’s head jerked back. “That’s ridiculous. Cade would never—”

“I know he wouldn’t. I’m just telling you what Blake said. Honestly, I think it’s just a little petty jealousy on his part, though. He wants Cade to be a bad guy.”

She shook her head vigorously. “My brother wouldn’t harm you by word or deed. Ever. He adores you.”

“And I adore him. We’ve been friends a long time.”

“Yeah, but he …” She clamped her lips together and averted her gaze.

“What?”

“Nothing. It’s definitely not Cade. But if your caller disguised his voice, it could be that he thought you’d recognize it. That means that if it’s not Ricky or Linton, it could be someone else you know. Like Joshua Buchanan. That small-pricked asshole would relish messing with you.”

“You think he has a small prick?”

“He’ll have a small prick once I chop most of it off. I’ll leave him a stump so he can still pee.”

I smiled and put my hand over my heart. “I love you, Sarah.”

“Who wouldn’t?”

“Oh, and I met his stepsister and the redhead.”

Sarah’s eyes bulged. “Spill!”

“I saw Emma this morning at his apartment. She’s nice. She’s a PI, and she’s going to do some research on Ricky and Linton.”

“Well that’s good.”

“She definitely doesn’t have any designs on Blake, unlike Laurel. As for the redhead, Tara, I’m not so sure. I met her at the club last night. I don’t like the way she looks at Blake. Or that she apparently tries luring women away from him as part of some imaginary competition.”

Sarah pulled a face. “Ew. That’s just weird.”

“I’m not convinced she’s gay.
