I bite back a smile.
“Boyfriend?” Anna says bitingly. “Seriously? After you had your goons drag us out of our beds and tie us all up? After you beat up my dad? After you kidnapped Natasha?”
“There’s a lot more to the story than that,” Luka says, bringing a hand to the back of his neck.
I won’t lie. I kind of like watching him shift around on the hot seat. He doesn’t fluster, so this is new for me. I like seeing him off his game. It shows he cares about what my family thinks, and that means a lot to me, especially since I want him to be part of my life.
“We’re listening,” Elizabeth snaps, folding her arms over her chest.
Luka slants a look at me and I shrug. “Tell them what they want to know.”
He grins at me, then at the girls. “I love her.”
“Says the crazy thug kidnapper,” Anna says sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
“I love him, too,” I say.
“What?” Elizabeth shouts. “You can’t.”
“I do. I know it sounds nuts, but it’s true.”
“Did you brainwash her or something?” Anna roars at Luka. “How could she fall for a criminal like you?”
“I like to think I wore her down with my wit and charm,” he says, flashing a panty-melting smile.
I almost choke on a snort of laughter, watching as Anna and Elizabeth continue their verbal assault on Luka. Despite their anger, I know they can’t help ogling him. He may be a criminal, but he’s the hottest, sexiest one I’ve ever laid eyes on.
As the minutes pass, I watch their expressions morph, and I know their feelings mirror my own.
A sobering thought captures me. My sisters don’t realize how their lives are about to change, how all of our lives will change because of the legacy my father left behind.
It started with Luka’s invasion.
He threw all of our lives into upheaval.
And then he claimed my heart and soul.
