Checkmate: Checkmate, #8
Page 45
He becomes our sacrificial lamb, our scapegoat, when I push him toward the corner and flick my wrists in a shooing motion.
“Go check,” I whisper. “If she’s fucking, I have to take her to the station.” My belly rolls with muted laughter. “Please tell me she’s not fucking.”
Gunner takes one last step forward and peeks around the corner, and in the silence, he turns back with laughing eyes and shakes his head. “She’s not fucking. But how much tongue is permitted before it’s illegal?”
My lips curl back.
“Oh Dolly.” A man’s voice slithers along the hall, and though it makes me and Gunner laugh, it’s almost like Meg has shoved a fork into a power socket.
No longer stealthy, no longer giggling, she surges around the corner and turns sheet white.
“Daddy?”
