wrapping it up by now. I’ll send her in to get you. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” She blew us a kiss.

“Thank you. You’ve been really helpful,” Jackie said.

“I aim to please.” Angelique sashayed out.

“That should put your mind at ease,” I said when we were alone.

Jackie pressed her palms to her flushed face. “It all seems so stupid now that I thought Lisa would become a prostitute. I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“You were trying to follow her thought patterns and since she’s still ditching your calls, you had to take some wild guesses.”

“She’s had us all worried. I hope this Parker guy isn’t stringing her along. But I guess she’s living with him. Maybe Dee will have more information.”

“Come here,” I said and hauled her back onto my lap. “We’re getting close to finding your sister.”

Jackie wrapped her arms around my neck. “I can’t wait for this to be over so I can spend some more time with you.”

I grinned. “I was hoping you felt the same way I did.” I actually wanted her longer than this vacation would last. “And who knows, if you get the showgirl job . . .”

“Shh,” she said, pressing her fingers to my mouth. “You’ll jinx it.”

I kissed her fingers. “So what do you think of your first brothel?”

Glancing around the room, she shrugged. “It’s not very sexy or romantic.”

“To be fair, you’re not their demographic.”

She was quiet for a full minute, so I knew something was up. “What’s going on in that head of yours?” I asked.

“Was the woman your uncle rented for you pretty?”

We were heading into the danger zone, I could sense it. “I honestly don’t remember, but I’m sure she was.”

“Why didn’t you ever come back?”

“I like things to go more natural. And I love kissing. Most working girls don’t like that.”

“I get it,” Jackie said snuggling into me. “Kissing is intimate. By holding back, they can separate work from fun.” She turned my head and kissed me openmouthed, slow and sweet. I rubbed my hand over her back. She tasted like mint and our tongues slid along each other. It was easy to get lost in her mouth on mine.

“You guys are going to have to pay for it if you keep it up.”

I bit back a groan. “Hi, Dee,” I said.

“Well, come on. I don’t have all day.”

Jackie flushed, but she adjusted her dress and held out her hand. “I’m Jackie. Lisa’s sister.”

Dee looked at her hand and rolled her eyes. “A hundred for fifteen minutes and all we do is talk. Unless . . .” She tried to look around Jackie to see if I was aroused. “Unless you want more.”

“No touching is fine. I just want to find out about my sister.” Jackie dug into her purse.

“Come with me,” Dee said.

She led us into her bedroom. There was one recliner chair and a king-size bed.

“I’ll be right back,” Dee said, taking Jackie’s money.

Jackie pressed back against me and rubbed her sweet ass against my erection. “Maybe we should get a room. Not here,” she amended. “Once we get the information, we could find a cheap hourly hotel and then go at it like bunnies.”

I held her close because I liked the feel of her body. “You know you’re only wearing a skimpy dress,” I murmured in her ear. She shivered against me. “I could just flip it up and start fucking you now. I’ll give Dee another hundred to fuck off for another fifteen minutes.”

“No,” she said. “Not here.”

I sat on the recliner and pulled her onto my lap again. My hand slipped under her dress.

“Miles,” Jackie said, breathlessly. “She’ll be back any minute.”

“Then you better come quickly. Because I don’t want to fuck you in a cheap no-tell hotel. We’re going to out to dinner and a show, and then we’ll spend the rest of the night in my bed. After a rousing bout of morning sex, we’re going to go out for breakfast. And then, we’ll deal with Lisa’s shit.”

“That sounds like a plan.” She smiled and it made my head spin.

“Granny panties again?” I sighed, but I was delighted, especially when she spread her legs wider so I could get easier access. She was already wet. “You’re lucky I don’t have condoms with me. I’d already be inside you.”

“Um,” she said, clutching my shoulders and closing her eyes when my fingers sank into her wet heat. “What if we get caught?”

“Do you think you’re going to embarrass the hooker?” I hoped Dee would take her time because I owed Jackie a great orgasm. I tickled my fingers through her, deeper until I found her clit. I rubbed it with my knuckle back and forth.

Jackie sucked in her breath and touched her forehead with mine. “That feels so good.” Her fingers tangled in my hair as she held my head to hers. She clamped her legs together, and I rubbed faster.

“Miles,” she whispered, her eyes wild and frantic. “Hurry.”

“Just this once.” I kissed her.

Grinding down on my hand, Jackie started to shake apart. She screamed into my mouth and went limp. I reluctantly slid my fingers out of her and adjusted her panties. I slowly licked my fingers clean while she watched me with hooded eyes.

The door opened and Jackie jumped off my lap. I needed a few moments to get myself under control.

“Where’s my sister?” Jackie said before Dee could get a word out. Good idea, leading with an offense.

“Carson City. She’s doing wine tasting tours at Paloma Vineyards.”

Jackie looked back at me, but I was already on my phone checking the place out. “She got that job after leaving here two weeks ago?”

Dee nodded.

“And she’s still there?”

“As far as I know.”

“Why couldn’t you tell us this over the phone?” I asked.

“Because you went to my mom. That’s a bullshit thing to do. So I figured I owed you.” Dee flounced on the bed. “Besides, it’s nice to get a paid break during my shift.”

“Why did she come here
