to do was beat her up didn’t sit any better with Blaine. Hitting girls was not his style. He thought it took a low man to do something like that. He would talk with her all right, but that was about it.
     
    Greg wasn’t finished, apparently, because he said, “You been doing a hell of a job, a hell of a job. You know I couldn’t have asked for a better guy to come walking through the door at the bar that day.”
     
    Blaine stayed silent, waiting to see what was happening now. Eventually, Greg broke the silence and said, “I got a bonus for you. Come on out to the garage. Let’s check the baby out.”
     
    In the hallway, Felicity went scrambling backwards and then down the hall. She had been unable to hear much through the thick door, and what she had been able to hear had been mostly jumble that she couldn’t understand.
     
    Her father’s door opened just as she spun around and began walking back towards it, trying to pretend as if she was simply walking down the hallway. He must’ve bought it because he said, “Well, don’t you look lovely today.”
     
    “Thank you, Daddy. Of course, you’ve been telling me that every day of my entire life. I think you’re a little biased. What about you? What do you think?”
     
    Blaine was uncomfortably aware of her light and floral perfume. It floated around her, rising off her warm skin and tantalizing him. Everything about her was tantalizing. It was also incredibly off limits. “I think you look like your father.”
     
    Nothing could have been further from the truth, but she got the message and so did Greg. His new employee wanted absolutely nothing at all to do with his daughter. Blaine saw the look of hurt on her face though, and it made him feel like an asshole.
     
    “What are you doing, Daddy?”
     
    They were all walking briskly along the hallway, and Felicity and Blaine were both a little surprised when Greg stopped and went toward the double doors that led to the kitchen. Bennie looked up from the table where he was sitting — scarfing down a giant tomato and bologna sandwich — long enough to ask, “What’s up boss?”
     
    “Just going to the garage.”
     
    “I’ll tag along then.”
     
    Felicity and Blaine had the same thought at the same time, Of course you will . Blaine looked over and saw the look on Felicity’s face. It gave him pause. She didn’t trust Bennie and that was obvious. The look she was giving him had a sort of sharp and vivid contempt to it.
     
    Greg said, “Felicity, why don’t you find yourself something else to do? I thought you said you’re going out with your friends at some point today.”
     
    Blaine said nothing, but he wondered how the man could be so awful to his own daughter. It was obvious that she was lonely, just as it was obvious that she wasn’t allowed to do too awfully much on her own.
     
    “Okay, Daddy. I think I’ll go over to Jenny’s for a little while.”
     
    She walked away, the bell of her dress swaying around her slender legs. Blaine had to studiously avoid looking at her as she went.
     
    Greg opened the door to the garage that was located inside the kitchen and motioned the other two through it before going in himself. He walked over to a gorgeous motorcycle and said, “This is yours.”
     
    It was a bribe, but it was a hell of a bribe.
     

 
    CHAPTER SEVEN
     
    “Is he pissed off at me?”
     
    Blaine looked at the girl sitting across from him. She was young, and he didn’t want to know how young either. Her skin was clear and unlined, but there was something about her face that said that she had already been around a couple of hard blocks.
     
    On impulse he asked, “Why don’t you just go home?”
     
    She slumped back in the chair, shaking her gorgeous and lustrous auburn locks back from her face. “Why don’t you go fuck yourself?”
     
    He did not have to ask anything else. Either she did have a home to go back to, or her home was exponentially worse than what she
