Fiction by Sydney Katt
This wasn’t right. I knew that the second I got out of the cab. The cab driver had made one mistake. So had I. The golf course wasn’t deserted. There were two cars.
And Skylar had come by cab. [Read more...]
How quickly the proud fell, Eric mused, enjoying the whimper of pain low in Skylar’s throat. Ramsey’s look of terror was especially satisfying. It was odd for him to see his brother care about someone else more than he cared about himself.
The fact that it was Skylar was unfortunate. [Read more...]
“I didn’t realize I was expected.”
Price turned slowly, caution in his eyes. “I thought you were Eric.”
“You seem to mistake me for him a lot.”
“I guess I do.” [Read more...]
It shouldn’t have surprised me that the room was empty when I got out of the shower. I really should have guessed that Skylar’s odd behavior all day had everything to do with what happened after I stepped out of the realty office. The fact that I held a one-sided conversation through the bathroom door for five minutes before I figured out no one was on the other side pissed me off.
I was better at my job than this. [Read more...]
Caldwell walked back into the room as Skylar was replacing the handset. He shot her a dirty look. “Who were you talking to?”
“I called to see if they had anything to help settle my stomach.” It was a lie – a flimsy one at that.
He seemed to buy it. Nodding, “Jenna said you should try crackers and club soda.” [Read more...]
I was fed up by the time I’d called through all of my contacts for the fifth time this afternoon. Every time I thought I might be onto something, a door would get slammed in my face and I’d be right back where I started. Sauters and Vanderbilt were probably still in this town, but I’d be damned if I could find them. They could be sitting in the next bungalow and I’d never find them.
Hell, Skylar could have them under the bed and I still wouldn’t realize it. [Read more...]
It had been a waste of time for Jenna to bother showing up for work today. Most of her cases were already assigned to other prosecutors while she was out over the last week and she’d barely been able to concentrate to the one she still had. If she kept this up then she’d really have to hope her new book stayed in hardcover for a while before it got sent to paperback and was then forgotten.
All of this was Jackson’s fault. [Read more...]
Eric rigged the final trap and stepped back to survey his work. Flawless. No one would see it until it was too late. This really had been the perfect purchase for him, he mused as he headed back to the car.
Originally, it had been about dressing the stage with nostalgia, but it was turning into a solid strategic location. [Read more...]
I stepped outside to answer the phone once I saw that it was Brandon. Right now, he was my only open line of communication to Jenna. “Caldwell.”
“I’ve got good news for you.” [Read more...]
Once Caldwell stepped outside, the men in the room went back to what they’d been doing as though Skylar wasn’t even there. That was fine with her. She wanted a chance to have a little chat with Scarlet, woman-to-woman.
Though she didn’t expect a man to notice anything, she’d thought a trained field agent would have picked up on the woman’s behavior and realized something was up. [Read more...]
The early part of our day was a bust. Vanderbilt hadn’t been at his lake house, but I never really expected he’d just sit there and wait around for me to come pick him up. The early morning humidity didn’t help my mood any. Even dressed in cargo shorts and a golf shirt, I was miserable.
I’d thought the Texas summers were bad. Damn. [Read more...]
Even before Price opened his eyes he knew he was alone in the house. The summer sun was streaming through the window, warming his bare skin. He stretched a little and felt something scratch his stomach. Glancing down, he noticed the slip of paper tucked under the waistband of his boxers. He shook his head and grinned before reading the note. [Read more...]
Tuesday, July 6
When you shared a room with Skylar Montgomery, a full night’s sleep was apparently not in the cards. Sleeping on a couch that wasn’t designed for someone of my size didn’t bother me so much. If it hadn’t been for Skylar’s antics, I could’ve gotten a solid seven hours. [Read more...]
Eric tugged his clothes back on and tapped lightly on the bathroom door. Scarlet had been in there for a while and he didn’t feel like waiting for her to come back out. He’d already gotten everything he wanted from her anyway. Giving her the opportunity to start her babbling again wasn’t an option.
Tomorrow could be a big day; he’d need his rest. [Read more...]
The street was crowded, far too crowded to tell which way Sauters had gone. Part of me wondered if Skylar had imagined the whole thing, but the way every drop of blood drained from her face was enough to make me check it out. Besides, it seemed like the kind of stunt he’d pull.
He was certainly arrogant enough to make an appearance while I was responding to a text from Brandon. [Read more...]
