"Not my problem."

"But you said—"

"I said I wasn't arguing your points anymore—none of your points. And I'm not paying you off anymore. Understand?"

Maryan had sidled back into the room. She sat in a chair opposite him with her fist to her mouth. Her eyes were huge and worried. Wearing blue Spandex workout shorts and a tank top, good old Ron hovered behind her.

"Speak so's I can hear you, boy! You're messin' with the Winters girl again. Am I right?"

Jim Moore was an animal. He'd almost killed before. Why wouldn't he be capable of physical violence of that magnitude again? "Stay out of my life," Sebastian said softly. "You've had all you're getting from me."

The rhetoric hadn't changed.

"You meet me and bring money, or I'm gonna give those righteous ladies exactly the kind of ammunition they need against you, boy."

"You forget messing around with other women," Moore said. "You got that?"

Sebastian watched Zoya glide to sit on the arm of Maryan's chair. She held a large manila envelope.
