like they betrayed Archer, I don’t think it would work. Archer would know it was my fault, especially if we just showed up at his party. He’s an asshole, but he’s not stupid.” I clutch a small decorative pillow to my chest.
    “I know. That’s why we wouldn’t do anything unless we’re a hundred percent sure it couldn’t be connected to us.” He sits next to me on the couch, and my eyebrows shoot up, but I don’t comment. At least he’s no longer trying to avoid me as much as possible. “And there are little things we could do... We can find ways to steal Archer’s spotlight or his friends. I’m sure new people would be much more interesting to them than him. He’d hate that. Besides, you say he has people he trusts around him and they trust him, but if he introduces you into his circle just like that, his friends might get leery. That could be all we need. He didn’t introduce you to anyone before, did he?”
    “No, he didn’t.” A frown creases my brow. “But I wasn’t at any important parties, just the ones with masks, and I’m sure that’s the kind of a party Archer would invite us to. He wouldn’t take us into his inner circle just like that.”
    “I know, but we can get there,” he says, and I stare at his handsome face.
    “How?”
    “You know how. I’m good at what I do.”
    “Damn it, Isaac.” I close my eyes for a moment. “You’ve just been freed. The last thing you should want is to go back to people who will abuse you.”
    “This would be the first time I’d do it of my own free will,” he says. “Don’t worry about me. I can handle it and I know what I’m doing. It’s just sex. If you think you have to be involved, don’t worry. I won’t touch you and you won’t have to do anything. I’ve been to those parties a lot of times and participated in them. I know there are people who bring their slaves and just watch. It won’t be suspicious. And if you don’t want to have any part in any of it because you’re scared, I get it. I can do everything myself. You just have to take me there.”
    “Maybe we shouldn’t make hasty decisions. Archer can still get arrested along with Raphael,” I say.
    “You’re crazy if you believe that.” He scoffs. “Archer and Raphael don’t frequent the same places. I know because Archer trained me. I haven’t really seen him much after that.”
    He’s probably right. Archer is careful and has his own circle. I’m surprised he even decided to help Raphael with Isaac’s training. “But they do share slaves sometimes. I could recognize the tattoo on Caleb’s hip because Archer explained it to me at one of the parties when we saw one of Raphael’s slaves.”
    “Yeah, renting the slaves to others is not that uncommon.” He sighs. “But still, Archer won’t fall with Raphael. That much I’m sure of. And even if we don’t achieve anything, it’ll be worth it to see the look on Archer’s face when he finds out he was wrong about you.”
    I bite down on my lip. Yeah, I’d love to see Archer’s face, but letting people use Isaac as a slave... I don’t think I can watch that.
    “I know what you’re thinking,” Isaac says. “But I’ve told you, I want to do this. Besides, he’s not going to invite you first to some big party with crazy stuff. If you don’t want to do it anymore, all you have to do is leave and we won’t go again. You’re my mistress. You can stop whatever you want to.” He gives me a hopeful look, and I wonder what will happen if I refuse. Will he go back to being sulky and not talking to me? Lilith would kill me if she knew I’m even considering it. Would going back to that party show Isaac that’s not really what he wants to do with his life? Maybe there wouldn’t be much harm in going, just to see Archer’s face. Maybe his interest in me would wane.
    “Okay,” I finally say. “We’ll go, but only if Archer was actually serious about it... and we’ll just watch. I’m not letting anyone
