Right, I don’t. “Of course I believe that. We’re all so happy he was able to rescue you. He didn’t even remember most of it until recently.”

“I’m sure it was horrible for him to realize what his father was.”

“Horrible for all of us. That’s why it’s so important to us—to me—that you know we’re nothing like him.”

“I never thought you were.”

This was where I’d normally try to touch her, but I held back. Zee required a different approach. I’d be in Vegas for another several days, so I had all the time I needed.

The Reid Wolfe seduction was usually a twelve-hour-or-less thing. I was willing to go slowly with Zee. Accept that she’d suffered terribly at my father’s hands.

But in the end, I’d get what I wanted.

I had to.

For my family.

My phone buzzed, and I pulled it out of my pocket. “The limo’s here for you. I’ll walk you down.”

She gave me a smile. Sort of. “You don’t have to.”

“Don’t be silly. It’s no trouble.”

Nope, no trouble at all, because I’ll be sliding into the limo beside you.

“I want to say goodbye to Riley,” she said.

“Of course.” I followed her across the room to where my sister stood with her new husband, Matt Rossi, a Montana man with long blond hair and light blue eyes in sharp contrast to my sister with dark hair and eyes.

“Thank you for inviting me,” Zee said.

Riley smiled, and I swore I’d never seen her look so happy. Funny. All those years, and I never realized how unhappy my little sister was.

I felt bad about that. Really bad, like I kind of wanted to puke right now. All those years I thought she was the favored one who got to go on special trips. My brothers and I had no idea what actually went on during those trips.

We knew well what our father was capable of. He was a monster, but we never knew just how much of a monster he truly was. Beyond monster. He was Satan.

My sister knew this well, and so did Zee.

Zee, who I was planning to use to get the information we needed.

I didn’t like the idea. Not the whole idea, anyway. The part about seducing her? I was good with that. Even with her gothic black hair. The rest of her was to die for.

“I hope you know you can call any of us anytime if you need to,” Riley said to Zee. “We’re all here for you.”

“Absolutely,” I agreed. “Anytime, day or night.”

“How long will you be in town?” Zee asked.

“Matt and I are leaving tomorrow. So are Rock and Lacey and Roy and Charlie.”
