“Of course,” he nods, again apologetic. “I’m sorry, Fay. | haven’t
been the most tactful tonight, have I? I’didn’t mean to pry...I’m
just,” he shrugs a little. “Genuinely curious about your life.”
| bite my lip, deciding to push this a little bit. “Are you, though?” |
ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
Ivan goes still, staring at me, waiting for me to continue.
“| mean,” | start awkwardly, looking down at my beer. “I know
that the dive bar that you took me to was filled with people from
all of the underworld families. That was embarrassing for me and
it caused a real rift between me and Daniel when he heard, from
multiple sources, that | was out flirting with you. And whatever Daniel and | are to each other, | do care about him.”| look up into Ivan’s face with real hurt in my eyes and see guilt
pass through his own. He’s either a crazy good actor or...maybe he actually feels bad, actually cares, at least a little, about how |feel.
“| like you, Ivan,” | whisper, the truth spilling out despite myself. “I like you...maybe a lot? But | don’t know if | can trust you, or ifany
of this is real, or if you're just using me to get a leg up on Kent.”Ivan nods, breathing out of his nose and looking down at his feet.Chapter 164

He gives a sharp shake of his head. “You're right, Fay,” he sighs. “I shouldn’t have done that. It was...a little bit of a coup for me,to be able to shove it in Kent’s face like that.” Ivan looks up at me again, giving me a little smirk. “And | know you enjoyed thatpart a little
bit too.”
| blush, looking down at my beer as | remember what resulted from me shoving that day in Kent's face like that. | remember Kentpushing me up against the door, his lips hot on mine — | remember moaning into his mouth and pulling him tight against me,wanting more. Ivan probably doesn’t know precisely how much | enjoyed
1. it.
“But I’m sorry,” he continues, using one finger under my chin to turn my face gently back to his. “If it means that | lost your trust,then | wish | hadn’t done it. Because, whatever's here, Fay...” he shakes his head lightly, and | know that that little shakecontains a wealth of emotion, “it’s real for me. And | hope it is for you too.”
| bite my lip, not wanting him to know that...well, that it’s real for me too, despite myself.
“Damn it, Fay,” he whispers, his eyes on my mouth again, where my teeth press into my lower lip. “You make it hard for a guy tobe chivalrous when you do that.”
Slowly, | let my lip drag out from beneath my teeth, my mouth open just a tiny bit. | swear a very tiny shudder passes throughhim.Chapter 164
