WELL, WE’D been caught, all right, which was why I was roaming my apartment like a wild animal desperate for a meal. But I wasn’t hungry, I was desperate for something to drink to help me forget my problems.

Ransacking my wet bar, shoving bottles to the side, I continued to look for more of my booze of choice. When I found another bottle of Jack, I triumphantly snagged it, then set about trying to dial Natalie over and over again, but my phone didn’t work. It was fried.

Taking my liquid courage, I moved into my office and grabbed the landline. I needed to warn her what was coming her way. Explain myself. Protect Lynx. Not only would this whole little scenario reveal Natalie’s secret, but Lynx’s too. Her involvement in this would be blown wide open, and now I was at fault for not protecting two women, a small child, and a grown-ass man.

There was nothing I could do to stop the man. Once we left Beck at the bar, Asher had rushed back to the club, opened his safe in a rage, then held a fucking gun on me and waved it around in the air, threatening to use it if I didn’t get his ass on a private flight to Miami. He insisted I get Natalie’s address from Carson, and arrange for a driver because he was packing a bottle of scotch or two or three for the flight. He kept screaming, “You knew about this fucking shit, Mike? You let me walk right into this! You’re nothing but a cocksucker.”

Brandishing the gun in my face, he yelled, “Move quick and do what I want, or I’m gonna blow your balls off.”

Foolishly, I had thought he’d eventually give up on the whole search for Natalie’s baby daddy. Natalie was gone already, after all, and I figured he would get bored with Beck. That dude was about as straight-edged as they got.

Who knew Beck, the loser, would drop that bomb about the threesome? It was bad enough to think that the two of them—a young Natalie and a much younger Asher—had got together the regular way back then, fucked, and she got knocked up. But this?

I’d known about Asher’s coke problem back in the day and his penchant for ménages, but this news was like a fucking bomb being set off in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard.

And stupid me thought it would all just go away, like I dreamed Lynx would stop being a high-priced call girl, and my dad would stop screwing girls younger than me.

Furious, I tossed back some more whiskey, and as fast as it went down my throat, it raced back up. I ran to the bathroom and threw up in the sink, emptying my stomach in the porcelain bowl before smashing the bottle into the counter. The heavy glass shattered, but it wasn’t enough. I kept slamming it into the marble until it was nothing but a bunch of cracked pieces of dust.

With my hand bleeding, I slid down onto the tile floor.
