against her.”
“Anything else you notice that I might be able to use, too. To be honest, I’m not sure she has any
skeletons.”
He regards me knowingly. “Everyone has skeletons.”
“Yes, but not necessarily useful ones. She’s a sweet girl, I don’t think she’ll have done anything
truly awful, but I was able to lure her to my place by stealing her cat, so she definitely has some
vulnerabilities. I need to know her background, who she’s close to, who I’d have to put pressure on to
get her to do what I want if it comes to that.”
Arson shakes his head. “Anyone ever says chivalry’s dead, I’m sending them straight to you,
pal.”
I smile faintly. “I want any information you can find, essentially. Because of how we met, she
hasn’t been terribly forthcoming about herself and I need to know more.”
I need to know everything.
I want to know every man she has ever loved and why. Every thought that has ever flitted through
her mind, every dream I might be able to make come true. I know Arson probably thinks I’m
essentially bullying her into a relationship with me—and I will if I have to—but I’d prefer to lure her
in more gently. For whatever reason, I genuinely like her, and I want to be good to her if she’ll let me.
I just also want her to be mine at any cost, and I don’t particularly care if she’s not on the same
page.
I can get her there. I know I can.
