with her. Starling told me the truth.”
    He imagined grabbing Devon by the throat and slamming his face into the computer’s monitor.
    “And to be honest,” Devon continued, “she seemed more than happy to agree to go on a date with me.”
    “Bullshit.” He focused on keeping his body still, anything to stop himself from lashing out at the prick.
    “No bullshit, man.” Devon stapled a stack of papers together and laid them on the desk. “My guess is that a guy like you couldn’t do anything to please a woman as beautiful as her.” He looked up. “It’s a good thing she found me.”
    “If you don’t shut the fuck up and stop calling me
man,
man, the only thing you’re going to find is my foot in your ass.”
    “I see you’re a sorry loser,
man
.” Devon looked up, a condescending sneer on his face. “What do you think you are going to do? There are security cameras everywhere here. If you lay one single finger on me, you will find your ass behind bars.”
    “Fuck you.”
    “What was I thinking? At least if you are behind bars, your little
fiancé
and I won’t have to worry about you hovering over us.” Devon leaned over forward. “What’s your thing with her, anyway? If you’re not her fiancé, what are you?”
    “That’s not any of your goddamned business. You don’t need to worry about anything to do with her or us. You won’t be seeing her again.”
    “Wanna make a bet?”
    There was a tap from the other side of the doors. Devon stared him down as he walked over and unlocked the vault. Starling came into view; her black hair was disheveled and a few strands were stuck to the side of her face. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, there were no books in her hands, and her purse hung limply on her arm.
    “Starling,” Jasper said, racing to reach her before Devon even had the time to respond. “Are you okay? What was in the box?”
    “I’m fine. They weren’t there,” she replied. “Let’s just go.” She passed Devon a weak smile.
    “Are you okay?” Devon asked. “If you’re not feeling well, we can postpone our dinner. I’d understand.”
    Jasper clenched his jaw. He didn’t need a fight right now. First things first—he needed to get Starling back to the hotel. Then he needed to find out exactly what had been in the box that rattled her.
    “It’s going to be okay, Starling. We’ll go pack up our stuff and catch the next flight out.”
    “No,” she said, but she couldn’t raise her gaze from the floor. “I have to find … ” She glanced up at Devon and then back down at the floor. “I have to find what I need. Besides, I promised Devon I would go out with him. If nothing else, I’m good to my word.”
    He wanted to grab her by the shoulders and tell her exactly what a prick Devon was, but now wasn’t the time—at least not in front of the banker. Jasper had the upper hand; all he had to do was get her out of the building and away from the creeper, and if he played his cards right, neither of them would have to see Devon again.

Chapter Five
    When she’d left Vegas, Starling whole-heartedly believed that things would go her way. Everything in her life had been turned upside down in the last few months since she had been uprooted from her deceased mother’s apartment and moved halfway across country with a father she barely knew and his new wife. It only seemed fair that the fates would eventually be on her side. What a naïve fool she had been. Why had she even bothered to hope? Life was never fair.
    She buried her face into her pillow.
    “Why did you agree to go on a date with Devon?” Jasper asked, pulling her attention away from her wallowing and back to him.
    His face was a contorted mixture of anger and annoyance, but the way the lines collected around his lips made her wonder if he felt something else, something resembling jealousy. A wiggle of excitement rose from her belly at the possibility. “He noticed that my papers didn’t have a notary’s seal. I had
