His smile turned dangerously amused and wolf-hungry. “Give me the answer to this riddle:
“Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.

The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.”
“That’s all?” Dakshana asked.
“Give it to me,” Chadstone said again. Something about his tone wasn’t right.
“What’s the answer?” Srina asked.
Dakshana’s mind raced. “A kiss.”
