PAT
Kingsley set me down in the passenger seat like I was made of glass, slammed the door, and threw himself behind the wheel. The engine turned over with a growl and we shot out of the parking lot, his knuckles white around the steering wheel, his head swinging toward me every few seconds. "Don't worry, we'll get to the hospital in no time."
I watched his jaw work, the way his eyes kept flicking between the road and me, and I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing. We were two blocks away when I reached over and tapped his arm. "It's fine. You can pull over for now."
He stared at me, then flicked on the indicator and eased the car to the curb. "What happened? Is the pain gone?"
I sat up straight, feeling the heat creep up my neck and settle hot in my cheeks. "To be honest, I wasn't in any kind of pain. I was faking it."
He stared at me for a long moment. Then he smiled.
"That's it?" I blinked at him. "You're all... You should be furious. I tricked you."
He chuckled, low and warm. "You think I didn't know? I knew you were acting the second you grabbed your stomach. But I wanted to play along. I was willing to act the fool, drive you to the hospital, until you were done with the act."
"Oh my God." I covered my face with both hands. "This is so embarrassing. Why would you do that?"
"Actually, I wanted to thank you." He turned in his seat to face me. "I've never been in such a situation before. For a moment, with everyone staring, phones out, cameras in my face, I felt put on the spot.

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
