95%.
“Fuck,” I spat beneath my breath before an idea hit me.
I took off at a swift pace toward my lab.
Maybe she’d wanted to talk to my team?
I’d sensed her curiosity earlier, no matter her prevarication.
When they saw me, half-naked, darting around like a lunatic, however, I had my answer.
“Have you seen the woman I brought in with me?”
“Not since you left,” Jun informed me, with Maryam and Terry nodding in confused agreement.
Jaw working, I spun on my heel and dialed Hunter’s number.
This wasn’t the time to deal with incompetents.
Kitty had disappeared from my fucking bedroom.
That was either on her own, because she was freaked out,or…
My blood pressure surged at theor.
Fuck.

“What’s the matter with you?”
I wasn’t happy about this meeting. Not only because I should have been either dick-deep inside Kitty right about now or we should be savoring the post-coital afterglow, snoozing away until the desire for round three overtook us…
Instead, I’d drafted in every single member of myStiddari—apart from Chad and Dante, who I’d be punishing later as neither had answered their fucking phones—to search the many rooms in my house for Kitty. An hour later, we’d come up with nothing.
No one had seen her anywhere on the premises, and the camera system that had cost me a fucking fortune had come up with dick.
Once Hunter had joined the search, albeit on the down-low, andhecouldn’t find her, we’d both accepted that something shady was happening.
As a result, Hunter had spent the last hour going through my security systems, trying to find any trace of a hack. Occam’s razor insisted a hack was the only solution.
Of course, Hunter had been quick to tell me that Occam’s razor was that she might have left.
Instead of pinning down her location, I was spiraling in Luc’s town car.
“Do you think I’m going crazy?”
His head tilted toward me. “What?”
“You heard me. Am I going crazy?”
“You’ve always been weird.”
“Weird? Fuck you.”
“Why are you asking? Is this why you’re in a bad mood? We agreed that speaking with Commissioner Kingston ASAP was a smart move. If he closes down the whorehouse in Nolita, that’s one step toward fucking with the Albanian’s current business plan. Rory agreed and you know what a pain she is to get on board with schemes she didn’t create.”
