Jo Leigh - Have Mercy

Just before he was out of earshot, Will said, “Karl, one more thing.”

“Sir?”

“You know anything about that crazy dog collar? It’s a fake, right? It has to be a fake.”

Karl shook his head. “Oh, no, sir. It’s no fake. Everyone knows about the diamond collar. It was even in the paper. It’s worth, I don’t know, almost a million dollars. At least, that’s what I heard. Can you imagine? Putting that kind of money on a dog?”

“Well, I’ll be damned. I never would have guessed.”

“You’d be surprised the kind of crazy stuff that goes on in a hotel like this. I could tell you stories—”

“I’ll bet you could. Tell you what, though. Let’s refill this glass, first.”

Karl nodded and headed for the bottle.

Will got comfortable. He probably wouldn’t learn anything useful from Karl’s tales of hotel life, but it was worth listening nonetheless. It wouldn’t hurt to get an insider’s view, and besides, he’d learned young not to let any opportunity slip by.

Just the fact that all the employees knew about the collar was something that might come in real handy.

His smile fell as he thought about Mercy. He’d been right about her. She wasn’t being coy with those blushes. She’d had enough trouble in her life to want to keep it to herself. That should have made him happy. So much easier to get what he wanted from a woman with big issues. But all he felt was tired.

He wanted to go home. He wanted…

Shit, he didn’t even know what he wanted.
