The next morning, Jerome almost crashes the Lexus when he pulls into the parking lot of the stables and sees Ivan's red Ferrari parked there.
"Fuck," he whispers, quickly straightening out the wheel and then turning to glare at me. "What the fuck, Fay?!"
"What?" I ask innocently, trying to hide my smile.
"Fay," Jerome growls, quickly pulling into a spot as far away from Ivan's car as possible. "What the hell are you playing at this time?"
"Kent knows," I say evenly with a little shrug, speaking the truth.
I told him this morning. He hadn't been happy about it.
I had picked my moment quite carefully. "Um, Kent?" I had said, leaning casually against the open door to the closet as Kent got dressed. And then, when he had turned and looked at me suspiciously - probably because I haven't been so shy and hesitant around him in weeks I had stumbled out with my whole plan to meet Ivan at the stables today, just to check on things between his organization and the Lippert family.

Kent walked slowly over to me, stopping only when he was so close that I had to tilt my chin all the way back to look up into. his face. Then, he had gone completely still.

"What are you doing, Fay," Kent had growled. "What happened last night?"
"Nothing," I said, willing honestly into my face as I looked up at him. "Ivan and I didn't have a chance to talk - I promise, it's not - it's not a romantic thing. Daniel and I were cornered all night by the Russians."
And then I waited. If he told me not to go, I wouldn't go.
But secretly? I kind of knew he'd say yes. I had told Kent weeks ago about what happened at my father's house - about my father offering to take Jerome from him, about my father laughing when I suggested that Kent could keep me safe. And I could tell that the news had rattled him.
Kent had used the information, of course - had used my father's confidence to rattle Natalia, to suggest to her that Alden had something up his sleeve and that they needed to figure it out before breaking off the engagement with me. It had been clever, that method of gaining more time.
But my father and Ivan have been slippery these past few weeks - haven't given Kent much of anything, instead dancing around him and Natalia. They would take meetings, but they didn't commit to anything.

And I knew I knew that Kent's frustration on this matter, his desire for more information, would beat out his jealousy.
"Fifteen minutes," Kent snarled, wrapping a hand around my waist and pulling me tight against his stomach. "That's how long you spend with him. And then Jerome escorts him off the property. Am I clear?"
Eagerly, I nodded. And then I wrapped my arms around Kent's neck, standing on my tiptoes and lifting my face closer to his, asking for a kiss.
"He doesn't put his hands on you, Fay," Kent said next, refusing to kiss me and glaring at me darkly instead.
"I never got my condo in Milan -" I said, smirking a little, trying to use a joke to lighten the mood.
But Kent just shook his head and wrapped his arms tighter around me, not biting. Slowly, the smile dropped from my face.
"Not a single touch," he growled, and then he waited for me to nod, agreeing to his terms before lifting me tight against him and sealing his mouth on mine. I clung to Kent then, overwhelmed a little by his order, his intensity, his covetous. need to keep me all for himself -
And then I let him carry me to the bed, and lay me back down on the sheets, and show me just how much I belonged to him. I let Kent wipe away the idea of anyone else touching me again, ever. But even as Kent smacked my ass and left me panting against
