Chapter Fourteen – Jake

He’d waited in the car, although he wasn’t sure where he’d found the self-control to keep his butt in the seat when the guy Lana was meeting told such outright lies about him. He’d also lied about Fiona. There was no way the dragon shifter sold babies, which was what Elliot was accusing her of. It made no sense. At least to anyone who knew Fiona and what she was. If the rumors of her dragon hoard were only half true, she had enough wealth to live comfortably through a hundred lifetimes.

As for the bank statements…Jake didn’t know where Elliot had gotten them from, but the money transferred from his bank account to Fiona’s had been for something completely unconnected to Milly. It had all happened a long, long time ago. And he’d given his word he wouldn’t share the details with anyone, not even his brothers.

Watching Lana as she crossed the small parking lot, he tried to read her expression. Did she believe Elliot when the jerk told her Jake was a bad man who hooked women on drugs and pimped them out? If so, could Jake convince Lana he was one of the good guys?

“Well, that was interesting.” Lana opened the car door and slid in behind the wheel.

“I’m not sure what I find more offensive, the things he said about me, or the accusations he leveled at Fiona.” Jake kept his temper in check even though the pressure in his head was building until he felt as if he was going to explode.

“I have to take a picture of this and show it to my boss.” She dug her hand in her purse and pulled out a charm bracelet. “I need to know if this really did belong to Amber.”

“And the bank statement?” he asked. “The one he showed you.”

“You tell me. Are they real?” She sighed as she buckled up her seatbelt and started the engine.

Jake ground his back teeth together. “You think I paid Fiona for Milly?”

“No,” She half-turned to look at him. “Elliot told me a bunch of mixed-up crap. What I need to know is which bits, if any, are the truth. As you heard, some of it includes you and Fiona.”

“Can we get out of here?” Jake asked. He didn’t want to talk here in the Happy Bear Club parking lot. He needed time to think over what had been said so he could convince Lana none of it was true. “Let’s drive into the mountains and talk.”

His mate let out a short laugh. “You know how that sounds, right? Let’s go somewhere where no one else is around and talk.”

His eyes widened as he caught a drift of her thoughts. “You think I’m mixed up in some crap and that I’m going to take you into the mountains and what?”

“You tell me?” Lana challenged.

He shook his head. Lana had pushed him away, put him at arm’s length, and he didn’t like it. He didn’t like it one bit.
