Chapter 336
I wait a long time before going down to Kent's room tonight, not really knowing how to play this. Because what I do know is that I want to know more about what he was saying with Alessi, and what the hell is going on, and who might be planning whatever attack is coming, and why he's not taking it seriously.
But what I don't know... is how the hell I'm going to get him to tell me all that.
As I walk through the cold basement passage, I consider that, well...there's always sex?
But I scowl, knowing that Kent has a tendency to wipe my own brain clean of any useful thoughts or suspicion way more often than I do his, so if I go that route, I'll probably forget I even had a question...
And I guess there's always... asking him bluntly?
But as I climb the stone steps, I just shake my head, knowing that Kent has already told me to stay out of it. So by the time I give a little knock on the door and press it open, peeking my head through, I've still got no plan.

"I wouldn't mind it," Kent murmurs, his eyes moving slowly over me as he reaches out a hand to brush softly over my hair, "if I was able to predictably count on you being in my bed every night."
"Aren't you though?" I ask, leaning forward and wrinkling my nose at him. "I mean, I've come down every night for weeks,
haven't I?"
"Yes," he murmurs, taking my hand and pulling me forward a little bit so that my face is closer to his, so that he can place his palm on my cheek and run his thumb over my lower lip. "But eventually I'll run out of enticements for you, Fay. And you'll get bored, and stay upstairs with Daniel, keeping your secrets." He hisses the last word, his mouth twitching up into a little smile.
I laugh into his face, leaning forward to press a quick kiss to his mouth. "You really hate that we have a secret that you don't know, don't you?"
"Secrets are my business, Fay," Kent sighs, tossing his book Chapter 336
