“No chance.” I tell him. “What is with you people?”
“Quite amazing,” he says looking gob smacked. “How do you do that?”
“Well excuse me, but I don’t strip off at the command of strangers. Can I go now?”
“That was the deal.”
“You’re not letting her go until you find out where she lives, Ethan,” says Lucas, still sitting in his chair.
“Don’t presume to tell me what to do.”
“He’s right,” says Delilah. “She could be a useful study, I have never come across one so unresponsive before, and judging from the fear I can smell radiating from her she’s not going to be coming back here any time soon.”
The blond seems to be mulling it over, then he nods and turns back to me. “May I have your address?”
“No.”
“Pretty please,” and he strokes his hand down my arm, causing my heart to race.
“I don’t know you, any of you, and I’m not reckless enough to go handing out my address to strangers.”
“Then let me drive you home.”
“Very funny.”
“Is that a yes?”
“Jesus, don’t you ever give up?”
“It’s settled then, I’ll drive you home.”
“I’ve already got a ride home thanks.”
“Well now you’ve got a better one, besides, you’re not leaving until you agree.”
“I’ll scream.”
“No you won’t, don’t deny it Tegan, you want me to drive you home.”
I make a run for the door, but he’s too quick and a second later he’s holding me to his chest.
“Now, now, there’s nothing to be frightened of.”
His fingers are trailing up and down my back, and when they graze my arm my entire body trembles. I can’t help it, despite how crazy it is, I am incredibly attracted to this man. As if sensing my thoughts he lets out a low growl.
Delilah stands up then and says, “Come Lucas, leave them.”
Grudgingly, Lucas gets up too and follows Delilah out the door. When it shuts closed, the blond lets go of me.
“Have you calmed down?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to cooperate?”
“Maybe.”
He leans into me, his golden locks flop down over his face, exuding sex. “Are you going to let me escort you home?”
