Superb and Sexy.3 by Jill Shalvis

yet, quints. Because being had by only two women seemed just too ridiculous.
    Maddie’s purse was gone. It’d been sitting on her dresser, a black and silver number with lots of buckles and pockets. Next to it had been her cell phone, also gone. For shits and giggles, he pulled out his own cell and called hers, not surprised in the least when it went straight to voice mail.
    Goddamnit.
    With no compunction at all, he opened a dresser drawer, looking for clues to where she might have gone, but he ended up staring down at the pile of silky stuff. Hooking a satiny black number on his finger, he lifted it up. Panties barely the size of his palm.
    He tossed the thing back into the drawer, then frowned at something else there, a box, and he nudged aside some more silk to expose…bullets.
    And this time when his heart kicked, it kicked hard enough to nearly crack a rib.
    She’d had a gun in here as well, a gun that was now gone. He was chewing on that when Shayne called him.
    “Lost her, huh?”
    “How do you know?”
    “Because she’s on her way here.”
    “What?” Brody took off running for the door. “What’s she doing there?”
    “Sneaking away from you apparently.”
    “Fuck. Tell me she’s going there to work and not to get on a plane.”
    “Sorry, no can do.”
    “Let me guess.” He stopped outside his car, slapping his pockets for his keys. “She wants a plane?”
    “Give the man a prize. She called ahead. How did you know?”
    His keys weren’t in his pockets. He was not a man who lost his damn keys ever. “Just stop her.”
    “Yeah, I’m on that. What’s going on, Brody?”
    “Hell if I know, except that she has a sister. A twin sister. And she’s in trouble.”
    “She’s never mentioned a twin sister.”
    Where the hell were his keys? “Trust me, Leena is alive and well. At least at the moment. But she’s involved in something, and they’re both in way over their head. They had a threatening phone call from someone they knew.”
    “Maddie went to Dani for help.” Shayne sounded as unhappy as Brody felt that Maddie hadn’t trusted them. “She asked her for a flight under an assumed name. She wanted to keep it secret. Why the hell would she need to keep anything secret from us?”
    Brody had a couple of ideas, but none that appealed. “Is Dani planning on stalling her?”
    “Yes, and if she finds out I’m a narc, I’m never going to get to have sex again.”
    This from the man who only a year ago, would have gotten hives at the thought of having sex with the same woman for the rest of his life. “Just stall her when she gets there.” Brody shoved his phone back in his pocket and stared at the car he was locked out of.
    He had no idea what was going on, but it was more than that. Maddie hadn’t trusted him. It was unbelievable to him that she hadn’t. She’d kissed him like he’d been better than air. She’d let him strip her, let him make her goddamn tea, but she hadn’t trusted him with this, and on top of that, she’d stolen his keys, and that sucked.

Chapter 11
    M addie walked through the lobby at Sky High. She needed a direct flight to New Orleans, pronto, because if Leena got too far ahead of her, if she said her good-bye to Ben and vanished, Maddie might never catch up with her.
    There was no better way to get a direct flight than through her world.
    It was a risk coming here, definitely, but as she’d personally made sure, the place specialized in making customers happy. As a customer, she needed a flight out like yesterday, and only speed would make her happy.
    But she had to get out of here before Brody showed up. She wondered if he’d tried calling her. It was likely.
    More than likely.
    But as she’d discovered on the drive down the mountain, Leena had grabbed Maddie’s cell phone.
    Which meant Maddie had Leena’s. She’d used it to call her own cell, trying to get Leena to no avail. Leena had turned it off.
    So Maddie had called ahead to Sky High,
