“But, Seb—” Mina pouts.

“Go, Mina.”

She shoots him an annoyed look, then squeezes my hand and smiles. “See you downstairs, okay?”

“Sure,” I say quietly, then gulp back my nerves as she walks off down the hall.

Once she rounds the corner and then closes the door behind her, Sebastian tugs my hand and starts walking. “Where are we going?” I ask, putting on the brakes.

He frowns when we grind to a halt, my heels digging into the plush carpet. “Somewhere we can talk.”

I shake my head, my stomach knotting. “I really need to be going. Ca—um, Yvette is going to be wondering where I am.”

He glances down at our hands, where I’m desperately trying to twist free of his hold, but he’s just too strong. His mesmerizing eyes snap back to me. “We had a deal. You got to see Mina in exchange for answering how you know me.”

I shrug. “There’s really nothing to tell. I don’t know you, Mr. Black.”

“Sebastian. Now that you know my name, use it,” he says, his voice low, clipped.

I lift my chin slightly, feeling as if I’ve been reprimanded. “Fine. I don’t know you, Sebastian. Now that I’ve answered your question, will you please release my hand so I can leave.”

His eyes narrow. “I don’t believe you.”

“I don’t care if you believe me or not. It’s the truth.” I poke him in the chest for emphasis. “I. Don’t. Know. You.”

“Liar,” he says silkily, hooking his finger around mine just as I lift it from his chest. “Which means we’re not done yet,” he finishes, yanking me toward him.

I’m so surprised, I stumble forward, but before I can recover, he quickly scoops me up, carrying me off through a door to his left and then down another hall.

“Put me down,” I hiss through gritted teeth while trying to buck out of his hold, but his arms are like bands of steel. When he carries me through a partially open door into what appears to be a study/library with low lit sconces, a huge dark desk, and brimming bookshelves, then kicks the door closed behind us, I yell, “This is fucking kidnapping!”

Setting me down, he folds his arms over his chest, blocking my only exit. “And you’re the one fucking trespassing.”

His voice is strangely even as I whirl to face him, but it’s the calmness in it that scares me. It tells me he has the patience to wait all night to get the answers he wants.

“You can start by telling me your name.”

I fold my arms, matching his stance. “It’s Scarlett.”

“Your real name,” he counters, an edge to his voice.

Good. So he’s not as calm as he lets on. “Why does that matter?”

He scowls. “So I can hunt you down if you try to screw Mina in any way.”

Pushing my hair over my shoulder, I snort. “If she can trust me, then you should too.”

“Why should I?”

“Because you love her and trust her judgment,” I say quietly, calming down.

“I do love her.” His mouth twists ironically. “Though I’m not so sure about her judgment.
