“It was nice, today. Pretending everything would be okay.” Defeat sounded in Thea’s voice.

Nik reached over and squeezed her shoulder. “Everything is okay.” The second lie by omission he’d told her that day.

The sun tucked in behind the jagged mountain vistas as they neared Estes Park. After their early dinner they’d hit a few more stops, both out of necessity and to catch anyone following them before heading back to his house. If Nik had doubted anyone was tracking her before, the device he’d found on the Jeep at the restaurant confirmed it. Without saying a word to Thea, he’d stuck it to the car parked next to his and stayed ever vigilant for anyone following. Nothing. But simply removing the device wasn’t going to stop whoever was keeping track of her. They’d been able to find her in Boulder, and the device hadn’t been there before. He would’ve found it when he handwashed the Jeep.

Thea pulled her legs up, her forearms banding around her shins as she silently stared out at the passing scenery. “You really think Aimee might be a threat?”

Yes.

The redhead had to be involved. In fact, the more Nik thought about it the more he believed she was the woman Dylan had run off at the hotel in Kansas. Her hair wasn’t the right color, but she did have a widow’s peak and bright blue eyes. She might’ve changed her appearance? But why was she following Thea? And why did she look so similar to the DOA woman under Thea’s truck—same bird tattoo, red hair? Who were these people? At first he’d thought they were Feds, but after Thea had told him about the organization, it now seemed like they were from some kind of cult.

Not wanting to alarm Thea, but still thinking it would be best for her to keep her distance, he hedged. “It’s possible.”

“But I approached her. I picked her out.”

“A good con can make it seem that way. Something was off with her, what with all the cultish sisterhood business and everyone having the same tattoo. Dead bird sounds kind of Wiccan or Voodoo… Hey, it’s a good thing we didn’t have sex with her,” he joked to lighten her mood. “We’d probably be drinking chicken blood or sacrificing a cat by now.”

Thea lifted her head to give it a tsk-tsking shake, but he caught the smile she tried to stifle by biting down on her lower lip and tucking her chin between her knees.

“Oh no, you have to share. What’s so funny, Tiggs?”

Her big eyes went innocently up to their corners as she looked at him. “Aren’t you part of a brotherhood? With a tattoo of a dead frog?”

Nik let loose a rumbling laugh. Her cleverness slayed him. “You got me. Secret’s out, I’m in a cult. Does that scare you?”

She turned her head, resting her cheek on her knees. “No, but I am wondering what poor animal I’ll be required to sacrifice when we have sex.”

When. Not if.
