“Don’t ruin my dream. As I was saying, a powerful CEO . . .”
I roll my eyes. “Jump to the conclusion, woman. My ego doesn’t need to be massaged.”
“Maybe you’re not ready for what I’m about to say, Lykaios.”
“I’m tough. Say it.”
“You were crazy about me. You just wouldn’t admit it.”
I pull her by her ass, settling her on my cock. “Fifty percent correct.”
“Where did I go wrong?”
“The tense of the verb. I’mstillcrazy about you, Zoe.”

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Washington, DC’s Trip Day
Security is stowingZoe’s luggage in the car when my phone vibrates with an incoming message.
Beau: “I have news. Call me. It’s urgent.”
The call doesn’t even have time to connect before my phone rings with another incoming call.
Odin.
What the hell? The two at the same time can only mean one thing: they have located Mike Howard.
“I found him,” my cousin says as soon as I pick up.
“Really? And where’s the motherfucker?”
“Dead. Car accident. Poetic justice or not, the car caught fire.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“I’m not a coroner, Christos, but the forensics says so, so why doubt it?”
“Where didit happen?”
“Mexico. He crossed the border. Probably trying to get away. It’s a road accident, it seems. Lost control and fell off a cliff. End of the line.”
“Too quick for what he deserved.”
“Yeah, I know.”
I’m sure the crime Howard committed, burning down Zoe’s parents’ house, is a sore point for my cousin—as he lost his entire family in a fire: parents and baby sister.
“I can keep checking. I’ll try by other means to find out if it was really him.”
“What other means?” I find his suggestion odd.
“Again with the playing the big brother.”
“I can’t help it. Don’t get in trouble because of me. I can check if it was Howard without you exposing yourself to danger.”
