work.”
    “Do you believe he is lying to try to get you to sleep with him?” I couched it as a question rather than telling her I thought it was part of his seduction plan.
    “I do not know,” she said, her annoyance clear in her voice. “I do not like the thought that he is playing some sort of game. He has been honest with me before this.”
    “Livie.” I kept my tone gentle. “How well do you actually know him? You have seen him on his best behavior, trying to get what he wants.”
    “I refuse to believe that,” she said firmly.
    I suppressed a scowl. What would it take for her to give up on this foolish marriage? The suspicions should have been enough. Did Livie care enough about him to even care if he was cheating? Was monogamy even something she cared about? Would she actually need to catch him in the act to walk away? Or would it only be after he broke his word and took his advances a step too far? I didn't want to see either one happen. They would both hurt her. Livie appeared to be strong, and in many ways she was. Just not when it came to her heart.
    “Do you know what you need?” I decided on another course of action. “You need to get laid.”
    “Katka!” Livie snapped at me.
    I didn't let her offended tone stop me. “Hear me out.” I held up a hand to stop whatever protest was coming. “Perhaps Blayne believes that since you have not made arrangements to fulfill certain needs, he thinks you are waiting for him.”
    She scowled but didn't argue. “You believe I am sending out signals of some kind?”
    I nodded. That was as good an explanation as any. “Maybe. It may be possible that he sees your availability as being desire for him rather than your normal self-imposed celibacy.”
    “That is not what I do,” she countered.
    I raised an eyebrow.
    “Finish your thought, little Kat.”
    I didn't press the matter. She was already going to completely hate what I was about to say. I didn't need her fuming over something else entirely.
    “I believe that, tonight, you should go out and find someone to hook up with.”
    She stared at me, her mouth dropped open in surprise. “While I do not judge you, Katka,” she said. “You know I do not sleep with strangers on a whim.”
    “Not a whim,” I corrected. “On purpose. First, you are wound so tightly that it is a wonder you have not cracked.” She didn't appear to appreciate my assessment, but I continued anyway, “You need to relieve stress.”
    “I am perfectly capable of doing that on my own,” she muttered, her cheeks turning pink.
    “Not as well as a man can,” I said. “Well, a good man,” I amended. “It does not matter. Even if the man is bad in bed, the encounter will still accomplish the most important purpose.”
    “And what is that?” she asked skeptically.
    “It will show Blayne that your marriage is nothing but business and you do not desire to sleep with him and that you don’t care who he sleeps with either. This will be proof that your needs are being met elsewhere and your heart is not involved.”
    “He already knows that this is business,” she said.
    “Then why has he been pursuing you?”
    She swore softly in Czech and I knew she would agree to do as I suggested. She might not believe me, but I knew that Blayne seeing her come back to the apartment after a satisfying sexual experience would convince him that he should no longer make passes at her.
    I pushed aside the guilt I felt. I wasn't ruining her marriage, I told myself. This was what was best for everyone involved and had nothing to do with my own feelings on the subject. Blayne was no good for my sister…or me.
     

Chapter 6
    Livie
    As much as I hated my sister's suggestion, I thought there might be a chance she was right. And, no matter how small, I owed it to myself to try it out. The idea of going to some random club or bar and finding a guy to take back home to have sex with didn't particularly appeal to me, but it did seem like the easiest
