He laughed. "No. But you're close."

"Don't lie to me!" she cried, shoving back from him. His hand made its exit, her skirts falling. She suddenly felt very crowded, closed in.

He backed away. "No. I just look like him. I'm Jorr, his brother. His twin."

Lassyne frowned. She knew Jaen from some of her father's dinners and meetings. The Housemaster of the Guard of all Soma. He had always scared her halfway to death, the way he looked at things, always as if he wanted to skin them.

But she had never heard that the man had a brother. No. This must be a trick.

The supposed "Jorr" raised both his hands. "You wouldn't know me. I'm the Housemaster of Thorns." He smiled. "That means I'm a spy."

Her mind flashed blank at this, and in that moment of sudden emptiness, she realized something.

"You—you know who I am."

After all, he'd been using her name. Turn around, Lassyne. Tell me why.

He nodded. "Yes. I've been keeping tabs on you for some time now."

She frowned. "What the five hells does that mean?"

"It means I'm a spymaster," he said, leaning one shoulder into the wall. He crossed his arms, his belt still hanging loose, as if he were completely at ease.

Lodged in the corner, Lassyne couldn't back any farther away, so she slid to the side. "Are you going to tell my father?" she asked.

Jorr Portent smiled at her. "Whyever would I do that?"

Lassyne blinked at him. "Why would you not?"

When she said this, he laughed. He stepped close to her. He gripped her cheek in one hand. Then he kissed her.

"Because I want to give you everything you've ever wanted," he said.

Lassyne didn't believe him.

But she would.
