Ha. Mr Smarty Pants. He could spin things whatever way he wanted, but he was on their turf now.
‘Would you like me to include the no-sex clause?’ Nina asked.
Genieve let out a scoff. And take away one of her biggest weapons? ‘Why handcuff ourselves – especially if we find we want to use handcuffs in the future?’
Nina clicked her tongue. ‘Genieve, the contract would be real.’
‘So let’s make him sweat.’ Her blood was pumping again. She knew what this was about. It was what she’d figured out for herself in the laundry room. Nina had made a move, and Brody had simply tried to block her. That was why he’d gotten so uncomfortable last night. ‘It’s never going to happen, Nina. He’s spinning things. It’s what he does.’
‘So you want to use this contract to spin him?’
‘Like a record, baby.’
Nina went quiet for the longest time, and Genieve began to worry. She had say over who she escorted, but Nina made the final call. She wouldn’t play games that could backfire on Luxxor, and Brody would be an imposing enemy – but he was the one who’d asked for this.
‘Why don’t you get back to me with your list of conditions?’ Nina said.
Genieve’s knees wobbled in relief. ‘I’ll do that.’
‘And Genieve? Make sure you negotiate them with Brody first.’
‘Oh, trust me.’ She stopped in front of the standing mirror in the corner of the room. She’d slept in his tuxedo jacket. ‘I can’t wait.’
