Bela laughed.
It wasn’t the appropriate reaction to what he was suggesting, but he couldn’t blame her for it. He had to be joking, of course- that was her thinking. Julian Sark, who had never once been anything but self-serving and laughed at poor self-sacrificing fools, would never openly volunteer for something so blatantly suicidal just to save a sister he had only just recently learned he had. And no, he wouldn’t, but there were bigger reasons than simply than- reasons Bela would appreciate. One does not simply walk into Hell while still alive and then return unscathed, he’d love the honor of being the first. If he could find a way to release Bela from her contract in the process, then he’s succeeded in two endeavors.
He watched Bela’s face drain of color as she slowly realized that he wasn’t joking. “Julian, that’s not even possible.”
