1 stare at Kent for a second, shocked and confused. What, really, is he asking me?
“I''m serious, Fay,” Kent continues. “What''s your price? An adjustment to the contract? Money? A condo in Mn?”

But then | turn fully to him, frowning. “Kent, do you ever consider that my continuing tomunicate with Ivan might benefit you
too? That | might be doing it for your sake?”
“Really,” Kent says, his voice rich with sarcasm. “You kissed Ivanst night for my sake.”
“One,” | say, taking a few quick steps closer to him, “I did not kiss Ivanst night —” | grimace a little inwardly, thinking that Kent
doesn’t really know that | was definitely going to kiss Ivanst night had Natalia not interrupted — “and two,” | continue,
interrupting Kent before he can object, “thatst night Ivan told me some really interesting stuff that you might want to know.”
Kent snaps his mouth shut and considers me for a moment. “Fine,” he says, giving in. “What did he tell you that was so worth

“Kent,” | hesitate,ing to stand in front of him again and look up into his face, wanting to see how he reacts. “Ivan asked me
again toe to his side. He insisted — insisted that you’re going down. | don’t know why he wants me to do it if it''s because he
has feelings for me, or wants the allegiance to my dad, | don’t know — but Kent,” | pause, shaking my head and hoping he hears
me, “Ivan was sure. He says it’s dangerous for me to stay in this house. He wants me out.”
Kent grits his teeth and looks away from me, his eyes go
going vague as he processes this news. “It doesn’t mean anything, Fay,” he mutters. “I can protect you.”
“| know,” | say, putting a hand on his arm and making him look down at me again. “But Kent, if you let me talk to him, maybe |
can find out more. Don’t cut off this connection. We can get more from it.
“Fine,” Kent growls, leaning down and surprising me by pressing a kiss to my mouth, a lingering one that floods my stomach with
heat. “But Fay,” he says when he pulls away. “No hands. All right?”
“You know Kent,” | murmur, looking up at him from under my eyshes. “If you were just willing to admit that you didn’t want him
touching me because you have feelings for me,” | whisper, smirking, “I might be obliged to do it for free.”
Kent res at me, but I see the smile starting on his lips as he considers my counter-offer. “Two condos, Fay. Mn and Paris.”
