“Keep tabs on it because it could spell trouble for us if they think we had shit to do with it. He knows I’m sour about the deal.”

“Which makes you a prime suspect, but you’ve already moved on to another hotel.”

“Yeah, but you know how people are. Either that, or they could be after us next. Remember, we’re not the only ones in this area. The Fontana family wants my shit too.”

“True.”

“Get me tabs on all of them. I’m not letting anyone on my ass.”

“I’ve already grabbed some shit. This leads to Texas. That’s where Martín’s woman lives.”

“Shit. This could be over a woman. It’s fucking hilarious. I never met a woman that could make me fall to my knees. That’s his problem. Having a woman is pure trouble. Get me more and keep me informed.”

“Will do, boss.”

So they either know that they’re under surveillance, or they really don’t have anything to do with my attack and the threats on Roxanne.

A knock on my office door forces my attention away from the matter. Gavin strolls in. “How are you, Milo?”

“I’m ready to get back to my woman, and pissed that I can’t find the son of a bitch that did this to me.”

“We’ll get them. I won’t let anyone get away with this.”

“Who the fuck is it? I feel like I can’t trust anyone,” I say to myself, but the low rumble I hear from across my desk makes me aware that I insulted my best friend.

“I sure as fuck hope that doesn’t include me. You’re my brother.”

“No. It doesn’t, but someone from the inside had to be involved. My suite exterior cameras had been cut off, and any footage to the elevators had been washed.”

“Are you serious?” He stands up and walks over to the sideboard to pour himself a drink. I can see the stress is wearing on him.

“It’s most definitely an inside job.”

“Have you checked everyone’s whereabouts around the time of the attack?”

“I have, but some of the shit could have easily been done while they sat in front of everyone while playing on their phones. Besides, it’s not like I know when someone put that bomb under my bed.”

“Are you sure it’s not coming from her camp?”

“Her brother knows, and I can’t see him trying to hurt her.”

“No, but maybe she’s the one with the stalker. After all, it came out of nowhere, and every single one of your staff knows you wouldn’t have been in bed at ten in the morning. You would have been roaming around like a caged tiger handling whatever it is. So it had to come about that day. Now they’re gone, and there hasn’t been an attack since that morning.”

Fuck, he makes a great point. I’m out of my suite by five every morning and don’t return until eleven most days. I never sleep in, except when it came to Roxanne. Someone expected me to still be in bed with her.

“I suppose that’s a good idea, but honestly, why?” I still can’t see it coming from her people. Do they walk around with C4 ready to destroy some shit? They flew in.

“They could be just as fascinated with her, and you got in the way.” Instantly my mind goes to Cyber because he’s the only one who noticed my attention and has been watching her like a hawk. “I’m going to call her brother. Sit here and let’s see what he says.”

The phone almost goes to voicemail before he picks up. “Hey, what’s up?” he whispers.

“What? Can’t talk?”

“I’m visiting my sister at the bar.”

“The bar?” I snarl.

“Shit. I don’t think we ever told you that she’s a bartender. A kick-ass one at that.” I’m itching inside to head over there and get my woman. This has been a fucking nightmare.

“What?” It’s the fucking first time they tell me my wife is doing manual labor and serving men all damn day and night.

“Are you trying to make me come down there and snatch my woman back up?” I bark out. My head throbs just thinking about Roxanne working with a bunch of drunk, horny men. I’ve spent my life in this business so I know that drunk fuckers will ogle, insult, and try to seduce my woman.

“I’m not yet. Shit’s too damn real for me. So what did you need? Do you have an inkling of who’s behind this?”

“No, but my best friend and business partner, Gavin, gave me an idea.”

“Oh, and?”

“That the threat could be coming from your end. Like someone is after Roxanne.” Honestly, I only think they’re after her to get to me.

“Shit. I hadn’t considered that, and I hope to hell that’s not the case. We have enough of our own problems, but it’s fucking possible. I’m going to keep an eye on anyone looking suspicious. And before you start pointing fingers at my brothers, they all have had a chance to ask my sister out. Not a single one of the Riders has tried. That’s including Cyber, who I’m sure you’re thinking about.”
