kept his expression neutral. He wasn’t sure how much he really wanted Skye to know. If she was still hooked up with Martin, she’d be able to warn him that they were coming. But the truth was, he had a good hunch Martin was in Vegas. It was like the Olympic Games for con artists, their ultimate challenge, and the police had agreed that even if Vegas wasn’t his goal, he likely could have made a stop there on the way to his next destination.
“Actually, no,” Nico lied. “There’s this town up in the high desert that I saw on Martin’s phone bill before the police took away the evidence.”
That part, at least, was true. Elroy, a nowhere town in the middle of the Mojave, had shown up twice on the bill. And since it was on the way to Vegas, Nico figured it warranted a stop-off.
“What town?”
“Like I said, can’t reveal all my secrets at once.”
She pursed her lips, then sighed. “If I go, I want my own private room wherever we stay, and you pay all trip expenses.”
“Of course.” He didn’t see any reason to point out that if he had his way, they’d only need one bed.
If he was destined to be the kind of guy women wanted for one thing only, he might as well have his fun with the one woman he wanted most.
“And no more suggesting I’m in cahoots with Martin, because I’m not.”
Nico shrugged. He didn’t believe her for a second. “Whatever you say, babe.”
“I’m serious.”
“So am I.”
“So what? We just get in the car and take off?”
“We should probably pack first,” he said, hardly believing she’d agreed to go. “I’ll pick you up first thing tomorrow morning.”
“This is insane.”
That was one thing they could agree on.
Wanting a woman he shouldn’t, depending on her to help him find a guy he had only the shakiest clues to the whereabouts of, hoping she’d either prove herself repulsive or completely uninvolved with Martin within the space of the next few days—that was his dilemma and his reward, all rolled up in one hot, tempting, pain-in-the-ass package.
