Resent; be reluctant to do (8)

I believe the answer is:

begrudge

(Other definitions for begrudge that I've seen before include "Envy the pleasure of" , "Feel resentment and envy" , "Envy, be jealous of" , "Envy (someone) the enjoyment of" , "Envy, resent other's good fortune" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
