I glanced towards the fireplace.Still no fire poker.
Sebastian sat across from me, mirroring our previous interaction in the room.
“Are you okay?”he asked, his eyes assessing me.
I smirked. “You should see the other guy.”
His hand tightened into a fist. “What happened?”
Nervous that Anyamight’ve been found, I rushed into an explanation.Sebastianremained silent with a darkening expression.
“Fuck!”heyelled,slamming his fist against the side table.
“Don’t fucking blame me!”
“Blame you?” His eyes narrowed. “All I want to do is rip Lorenzo limb from limb while he begs for your forgiveness.”
My breath caught, but before I could reply the oak door slid open.
“This is going to be fun,” Lucasmirked, his eyes moving over my skimpy outfit.Lorenzo followed in after him, looking a bit smug.
Sebastian jumped up from his chair, his angry facial expression telling me he was ready to follow through on his threat to Lorenzo.
Luca tried to reach for him, but Sebastian swept past him. Lorenzo backed up, real fear in his eyes.
“If you don’t sit back down Sebastian, I’ll have Selene seizing on the floor,” Luca ordered.
With a growl, Sebastian slowly moved back into the chair. His fingers gripped the arms of the leather chair so tightly, stuffing looked like it was about to burst out.
“That’s better,” Luca said with a smirk. Lorenzo leaned against a bookshelf twenty feet from us. Smart. He wouldn’t tempt fate by getting close enough for Sebastian to reach him. “Now I’m sure you know why I’m here: one of my men was attacked. And I can’t stand by and let that happen.”
It was obvious from the gleeful glint in his eye that he could give two shits that Lorenzo was injured. Luca just wanted an excuse to hurt me.
“Then maybe you shouldn’t let your men beat up defenseless girls,” I said.
“That’s a lie,” Lorenzo jumped in, his voice desperate.“Anya and this bitch tried to rob me.”
Sebastian opened his mouth, but I beat him to the punch.
“Rob you?” I growled, “If I was planning on robbing you, I would’ve waited until you were outside and alone.”
Okay, maybe that wasn’t exactly helping my case. Notthat it mattered anyway, Luca would find any excuse to hurt me.
“Who are you going to believe?” Lorenzotried to make his voice sound steady, but I noticed the tremor in his hand when he snuck a glance at Sebastian.“Some whore, or a man who’s been with your family for thirty years?”
“Call her that one more time, and I’ll cut your tongue out,” Sebastian growled.
Lorenzo’s straight posture wilted.
“Enough,” Lucasaid, and all of our attention snapped tohim.
“I don’t carewhyit happened. Selene, you can’t go around attacking my men.” When he said the last word, his eyes shifted towards Sebastian, and I knew he was thinking about how I’d taken Sebastian hostage.
“Now how shouldIdeal with this?” Luca asked, and the way he looked at me sent a shiver down my spine.
“Luc, leave her the fuck alone.” Sebastian’s eyes were darkas heglared at his brother.
Luca grabbed the phone from his pocket and pressed a button.
