Or because they're blond, ponytailed and have a tight ass, I guess. If I had a nickel for every time I caught a fellow agent staring at my chest while I explained something to them, I'd have a shitload of nickels.
That hasn't happened once since I've been here. Maybe that's because everyone is shit scared of Fabien, but it feels a lot like respect to me.
And I like it.
But I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of using Fabien as bait. I've gotten attached to the big lug, and I just don't want him in danger. I know he can take care of himself, and he'll always have to watch his back, but that doesn't mean I need to send him into the lion's den with a bucket of hot dogs.
"Sorry to say it, big guy. You may not be enough bait to lure out their boss in the open."
"What about Jir?" Kyran asks. "Like a shitload of it?"
"Maybe...it feels like there needs to be something bigger. Something they can't resist."
Everyone nods.
"Well," Fabien says. "All of you get your thinking caps on. I want ideas by the morning. You get them to Kyran, and Kyran brings them to me."
Everyone nods again.
As they leave, Soren stops and bows to me. His snake’s eyes flutter.
"Lady Nightsssshade, thank you."
"For?"
"Your dedication, your brainsss, your ssskills. It's good you're here. Our family isss truly blesssed."
He bows again. I feel my face grow hot at his praise, and I turn away in embarrassment. Soren isn't the only one either. As the others pass by, I get nods, and thanks from the whole crew.
So why does it make me feel shitty?
Probably because I'm still a cop, and I'm still the bad guy to these people. As I look at Fabien, it's impossible for me to imagine turning him in.
I'm terrified of what Rasmussen will do if I don't. I can't imagine what Fabien would do if he found out. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.
There isn't a way for me to stay here. But the longer I stay, the harder it is for me to imagine leaving.
"Come here, little princess,” Fabien says, when we're alone.
He kisses me, his powerful tongue sliding into my mouth. All thoughts of leaving vanish from my head. Iwantto stay, I just don’t know how.
I need to find a way. And I need to be honest with Fabien.
Somehow.
