Chapter Twelve

“There are two X’s at the end of Foxx,” Titan announced as he strode a few feet to the right and dropped the bags onto the narrow couch. “Some say that’s because he’s an extra asshole.”

Oliver’s brows climbed. “I do not think that some—”

“Ex,” Cassidy said, voice tight and grim. “I am Blake’s ex-girlfriend. And you know it. I have been through an extremely exhausting twenty-four, forty-eight…whatever hours, so I am really not in the mood to deal with some extra asshole who is going to judge me. Trust me, I do enough judging without needing anyone else to pile on.” Her nostrils flared as she yanked her hand away from Oliver’s grip and fought the anger rising in her. “I was hoping you’d be more like Titan. I should have known not to put my expectations so high.” Then she crossed to stand next to Titan as he lingered beside the couch.

Titan glared at Oliver. So did she. She’d truly reached her jerk quota for a lifetime.

“What?” Oliver blinked. “Why are you staring at me like that, Titan? She was his girlfriend. Jeez. Sorry if my pointing out an actual fact has pissed you off. I won’t say that shit again.”

“Don’t play your mind games with her,” Titan snapped. He put his arm around her shoulders and hauled Cassidy close to his side. “Don’t play them ever, understand?”

Oliver took in the way Titan had put his arm around Cassidy’s shoulder. The way their bodies slid together, and his mouth dropped. Then snapped closed. “No.”

“Yes,” Titan corrected him grimly. “You’re done, got me?”

“No, I mean…” Oliver drove his hand through his hair. “You two—is there something going on here?”

Sort of. Yes. One fabulous orgasm and the promise of more to come, only that “more” had been sidetracked because the Fed had been waiting in their suite. Then the jerk had started pushing her buttons.

But in the next beat, Oliver’s expression completely changed. “Oh, I get it. I see what you’re doing.”

She didn’t think that he did. The man was looking all approvingly at Titan now.

“That could work.” A nod from Oliver. “Good plan. I like it. No, I love it.” Another nod. Cunning lit his gaze. “Titan, it’s brilliant. When you asked for the newlywed cover, I should have seen this coming. I just thought you’d taken inspiration from Smith since he used a honeymoon suite with Madelyn, and it had good security features. But I get the plan now, and absolutely, it’s great. It will drive Blake Normandy crazy, and he will come out to attack.” He began to pace. “But you can’t stay holed up in here for it to work. You have to go out in the city. You have to be seen. If he followed you to the motel in Utah, then we can bet that he’s going to show up in Vegas. It’s just a matter of time. I’ll get some Feds to blend in their plainclothes and keep eyes on you. We’ll wait, we’ll push him to the absolute edge, and then…” His hands slapped together as he stopped.
