With his guts burning, he wondered if Priss had firsthand knowledge of such a thing.
He wanted to hold her, to reassure her … but hell if he would. A little fear was just what Priss needed to drive home the jeopardy and wake her up to the foolishness of her plan.
Murray laughed at Trace’s question. “Since I’m making it your job, do you have a preference?”
Closing his eyes against Priss’s expression, Trace shrugged. “I’m not a natural-born rapist, but it’s your show, your call.”
His deference delighted Murray. “I like your attitude, Trace, I really do. You have great conviction to the duty of your post. I’m glad I hired you.” His laughter faded. “Let’s go with seduction first. After all, Helene assures me that for you, seduction should be a piece of cake.”
Trace snorted. “Is she trying to get me killed, then?” What the fuck was Hell doing discussing him like that with Murray?
Murray laughed again. “Now Trace, you know I’m not the jealous sort. I have no reason to be, right?”
“No reason at all.”
“I like to indulge Helene whenever possible.”
Which meant … what? That Helene could have him?
With the game wearing on him, Trace rubbed the bridge of his nose. “You’re generous with her.”
“I don’t mind her admiring eye. It’s often valuable to me. Just remember that my generosity has a limit.”
“Always.”
“So … I may assume that this new assignment won’t cause you any trouble, whether little Priscilla is truly an innocent or not.”
“No trouble at all.”
“Excellent.” Murray’s words reeked of arrogance. “Keep me informed.”
“Of course.” Even as Trace closed the phone, he heard Murray’s humorless laughter, and it left him on edge.
The sick bastard was up to something—but what? And how much damage would it do to Priss?
