As soon as the elevator doors snap shut with Melody and the giant she calls Tiny on the inside, I make my way to Hugo standing on the footpath outside of the hotel. The veins in his neck pump as rapidly as his fists clench and unclench.

“What’s going on? Why did Isaac drag Izzy out of here like her life was in danger?”

I swear to God, if I fucked up by chasing the wrong cartel entity, I’ll hand in my gun and badge first thing tomorrow. All intel pointed the finger at the Castros. The only surviving member of that syndicate is fighting for his life in a hospital as locked down as Fort Knox is, so why the fuck did Isaac rush Isabelle out of here the way he did? I get he’s a little possessive when it comes to her, but he agreed for her to spend the weekend at my family’s ranch, so it isn’t like her attendance at the gala was a surprise to him.

“Did it have anything to do with Henry Gottle’s pop-in visit?”

That piques Hugo’s interest. “Henry was here?”

I lift my chin. I could have left him in the dark, but his responses are telling me honesty will work better for me. “They were chatting outside just a few minutes ago.”

Hugo works his jaw side to side before straying his eyes to mine. “Henry isn’t a threat to Isabelle.”

What’s behind everyone’s sudden belief a mafia kingpin is a saint? First, Melody, now Hugo. Henry isn’t as bad as his predecessor, but still, he’s far from saintly. You can’t kill without punishment and anticipate a clear ride to heaven. It would take an ocean full of holy water to save that man, and that’s if he wanted to be saved.

My rant ends when Hugo pivots on his heels and races back into the lobby of the hotel. “Go back to your date, Blondie. You’re not needed.”

If I were a man who didn’t care about his responsibilities, I’d use his dismissal as an excuse to reignite my conversation with Melody. Since I’m not, I yank my cell phone out of my pocket to call Grayson while making a beeline for the security office in the corner of the foyer. I’m not going to lie, I am running uncomfortably. I was so fucking hard while kissing Melody, I was certain when she broke away, I was about to be arrested for indecent exposure. I could have sworn my dick had busted through the zipper in my pants because it wasn’t just the tip feeling its nasty bite. It gnawed at my shaft as much as my teeth gnawed on Melody’s lips.

Since we’re being honest, I’ll also admit that I’m shocked. I never in a million years would have imagined the outcome of my kiss. I spotted Henry purely by chance. Although his focus was elsewhere, not even men with supermodel wives on their arm couldn’t help but drink in Melody when she floated by. She has a
