“Is this what happened with Anya?” I asked, looking up into his eyes. “Did he drive her to you in this same way?”
Lucas blanched, the unexpected question hitting him hard. “Not quite,” he managed, struggling to compose himself again. “They never had anything more than a business relationship, although I think Anya wanted something deeper. It made my seduction easier…but enough of my past. Tell me: Did you ever tell my brother no?”
I flushed, glaring at him, but the sudden truth of his words hit me like a truck. Lucas must have seen my revelation because he continued, “Jeremiah is used to getting his way, and isn’t above manipulating others any way he can to achieve his own ends. A valuable skill in business, perhaps less so in a relationship; the thrill of the hunt is what makes the final acquisition that much sweeter. How hard did my brother hunt you?”
As his words sank into my heart, Lucas motioned around the inside of our limo. “This car is being tracked. If we stay here much longer he’ll find us. Once he’s here, you’ll be his again to do as he wants. Where’s the challenge in that?”
I swallowed, heart still bleeding as a cold ache suffused me. Lucas reached inside, offering me his hand. The look on his face was mischievous but I saw pity and a familiar longing in his eyes.
“Let’s make him chase us, shall we?”
