"Get you worked up?" He laughed "Woman, I’ve barely touched you"

"That’s not the point"

"You need to get your stuff together or not Either you go naked as the day you were born or you put your daive a shit" He stepped toward her, done with this conversation "But I have the feeling the driver that I have waiting for you doesn’t want your naked ass on his seat"

Her cheeks flushed red as he stalked to the bar "Do you even know my name?" she said

Oh hell’s bells

He poured hio downhill as fast as a ball on ice

"It’s Cindy, by the way, you asshole," she snapped

Tossing the drink back, he was glad to know that he had been in the ballpark of guessing her name Finished with the drink, he faced her

Cindy was shihs "Do you have any idea how ht now?"

"I’ list of the her dress off the couch, she glared at hienuine" The material slipped over her head "Do you even knoho I am?"

"I know exactly who you are"

"You didn’t even knowher purse off the end table, she flipped blond hair over her shoulder "But you’re going to knoho I aasped when he moved faster than he knew she expected He curled a hand around the nape of her neck like he had earlier "Just because I didn’t remember your name, doesn’t mean I don’t know exactly who you are"

"Is that so?" she whispered, lashes lowering

"You’re a walking, breathing trust fund who’s used to getting every da you ever wanted from your daddy You don’t understand the word no and have an absolute lack of common sense when it comes to self-preservation"

"And you’re so different?" She leaned in, wetting her lower lip "Because it sounds like you’re discussing yourself"

He dipped his head, holding her hooded gaze as his grip on the back of her neck tightened "You absolutely don’t know fuck aboutyou can do to me or my family that I can’t turn back on you three tihts unfinished"

Her hand landed on his chest as her eyes fluttered shut "You sure about that?"

Hell

She was turned on by this

Disgusted, he dropped his hand and let her stumble back "You were not here You were nowhere near this house tonight If you give anyone the slightest indication that you were, I will ruin you" He paused,sure he had her attention "And before you say whatever is on the tip of your tongue, I want you to take a moment to think about who I am and what I can do"

Cindy had snapped her ive him an ounce of trouble after that

Once she was safely ensconced in the car that aiting behind the house, he joined his brothers in the azeover him "And yet you somehow couldn’t find the time to put on a pair of shoes or tuck your damn shirt in?"

Lucian’s eyes narrowed as he stalked past his brother "You do realize it’s nearly five in the fuckingattention to the way I’m dressed"
