Page 16 of Cold Foot Cash

“He doesn’t need his phone dunked in a beer.”

“We could make out and take a picture of it and post it,” he said. “I would even take my shirt off for it, if you asked me to. I have a six pack.”

“As absolutely insane as that offer just sounded, I actually appreciate you making it. I mean, the answer is hell no, but thank you for the offer.”

“I’ll take that as a maybe.”

“Nope. It’s not a maybe and we are not making out. We are friends.”

“Woman, I’ve been trying not to stare at your perfect tits all night. That does not scream friendship.”

“Keep us on the right track, Cashew. I’m going through a hard time, and you don’t seem like the kind of guy who wants to scoop up a girl when she’s vulnerable.”

“Being a good man is the worst,” he muttered as he threw a dart.

“Hey, you can go take one of the mini-skirt twins home, easy peasy.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” he asked, throwing another dart.

“Oh, you’re one of those boys who likes the hunt?”

“I don’t even know what I like. I’ve been in prison for the last six years.”

“Whoa! What?”

“Yeah. I just escaped a few months ago.”

“And you are an escaped convict?” Her shock was eternal.

“From the very non-judgmental tone of your voice, I feel like I’m definitely back in the running for that make-out pic,” he said sarcastically.

“Not on your life! What the hell, Cash?” she whisper-screamed.

“Do you need a shot?” he asked.

“A shot is not going to fix what you just said. Where did you escape from?”

“Cold Foot Prison.”

“The high security shifter prison,” she said, nodding. “Of course.”

“Of course what?”

Of course she would be attracted to a freaking felon. “It’s a good thing my sister is dating a catfish. It’s better than her dating a criminal.”

“Isn’t impersonating someone and stealing their identity criminal? So technically, either way she was.” Why was he being so nonchalant about this. Like he had no shame?

“Are you a murderer?”

“That’s not what I went to jail for.”

“You didn’t answer my question!”

“Well, rules for shifters are different than for humans.”

“Murder is murder, who did you kill.”

“I’m not saying I killed anyone.”
