Merrick the Art Thief

“This is fantastic.” Grant grinned at him. “This is what it’s like to have money, huh?”


“I love it.” Grant wrapped his arms around Merrick and then spun them around. “I never dreamedthings would go like this.”


Grant’s electric mood shifted Merrick’s focus. For tonight, there was only this marvelous room and Grant there with him.


Grant chuckled as he stepped back. “I should let you eat. I bet you’re starving.”


Grant lifted the lid over the tray. Underneath were two plates with cheeseburgers and all the fixings, and side orders of French fries. “Your favorites.” Grant raised an eyebrow. “Thurman knows you well.”


“That’s probably a hundred-dollar hamburger, so enjoy.”


Grant placed the lid on the table. “He likes you.”


Grant took a fry, biting off the end. “You didn’t see his glare at me in the car when I touched your arm.”


“He’s not the one I’m interested in.”


Grant offered a fry to Merrick, which he took into his mouth.
