Chapter Fifteen

Shay

The plan that was swirling around in her head finally coalesced with a selfish thought.

Why hadn’t Justin rescued her yet?

It was absurd. Preposterous. Completely inconceivable that he would rescue her. Sure, they shared a bond.

It’s more than that, it—

“Not right now, I’m plotting,” she muttered aloud to herself. She couldn’t let herself dwell on her feelings for Justin. Not until she got herself out from the utterly moronic predicament she’d gone and gotten herself into in the first place, by being too damn stubborn for her own good.

It all centered back on that line though.

He hadn’t rescued her yet. He had left her here so that she could be at the mercy of the Agency. Justin was a player who used his good looks to get whatever he wanted, and now that he’d gotten what he wanted from her, she was just being cast off and left to drown on her own.

It was a little over the top, but Shay thought she could make it work. Possibly.

She walked over to the door and rapped lightly on it three times, trying to make her motions as ladylike as possible, instead of clubbing it with her fist as hard as she could, which is what she wanted to do.

Patience. I need patience and excellent manners. Be polite to the devil when he enters your home.

Outside her porthole the sun was setting, and her room had become draped in shadow quite quickly. She wondered if she could get a light brought in, or if that would be too much.

The door opened several minutes later, sliding aside to admit Mr. Gray, as she had taken to calling him. He entered with graceful ease, sketching her a short bow, as if to mock the fact that he was actually in control of her.

“What can I do for you?” he asked.

“I want to make a deal,” she said bluntly.

Gray frowned. “We already have a deal in place.”

Shay shook her head. “New deal, dependent on your answer to one question.”

The scar stretched across his face even further as he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “I make no promises to anything, but in the context of good manners, I will listen to your question.”

She smiled, dipping her head in thanks, trying to remember to be polite. It wouldn’t work if she let her temper get the best of her.

“Has he come for me yet?”

Gray opened his mouth, then closed it, looking at her. Shay had tried to inflect the right amount of patience and irritation in her voice, acting as if she couldn’t believe she was still there. Gray picked up on that, and she saw the gears turning in his head as he realized she was seriously contemplating betraying Justin and the others.

“No,” he said, and she detected no hint of a lie. “They did spoil a trap I had set for them earlier, in a manner to which I must give them credit, but I can honestly say no attempt has been made to retrieve you, my dear.
