Sneak Peek At Book Two
GRACIELLA
I should have Googled if breaking into a man’s house with a bat was considered attempted assault.
Really, it shouldn’t be, especially if you were breaking into said house because he was a lying, cheating bastard who stole your promotion out from under your nose by sleeping with your boss.
I winced at the thump my body made when I half stepped, half fell through his living room window. Somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind, logic was banging on the door, demanding I think about what I was about to do. Too bad, the tequila I’d downed like water was more convincing.
Besides, there was some thought put into this night-time rendevous, and I’d slipped the rideshare driver a twenty to wait out front for me.
Women in STEM: twenty dollars, plus cleavage, times a man who thought he may get laid equals…
A getaway driver .
I paused mid-tip-toe. Was I making him an accomplice in a crime?
I shrugged when I couldn’t come up with the answer. I just wouldn’t get caught. Problem solved. Continuing down the hall, I tried to recall which door led to Caleb’s bedroom.
The details from that night a few weeks ago were fuzzy, but I thought it was the last one on the left. Maybe. I should have known from the beginning he was an asshole.
All men named Caleb were assholes.
Thank god he didn’t have roommates, so I didn’t have to worry about threatening the wrong person—just had to worry about ending up in a hall closet.
A vibration from my back pocket distracted me enough that I managed to miss the grunts emanating beyond the paneled door. Buzzed Graciella had poor situational awareness. Hell, sober Graciella had poor situational awareness but a shocking amount of street smarts. You’d think they’d counteract each other if I were being honest.
Ari:
What are you doing?
Ari’s text stared at me, causing guilt to turn in my gut. My prima had a sixth fucking sense when it came to me and trouble. She was a damn bloodhound, sniffing out the shit I was about to be in.
What was more impressive was she was thousands of miles away.
