“Guess he’s not home. Let’s go.” I tried to yank my wrist free from August’s grasp, but the bastard didn’t budge.
He stabbed his finger into the doorbell again, and ground out, “I will sign a contract swearing not to put you or your brothers in prison. I’m the alpha; the contract will hold. I need your help.”
There was a moment of silence.
A long moment.
I could practically hear the gears turning in the head of the one Villin brother I didn’t like, despite the walls, doors, and cameras separating us.
“If you do this, I will make it my personal life mission to find you a mate,” I finally whispered, the worst possible threat I could give a dragon shifter.
“You will not,” he growled back.
“Try me,” I was seething. And completely at my brother’s mercy. “You will find yourself surrounded by single, human women at every turn. And if I can’t pair you up, I’ll pair Jas or Eli. They’ll curse your name so profoundly, that?—”
The door opened, and I cut myself off as a massive presence filled the entryway.
I couldn’t suppress the ridiculous goosebumps that appeared on my arms at the sight of him.
Six and a half feet of muscle, gorgeous tan skin, and dark hair that wanted to be wavy but was gelled too sharply to manage it. And all of that was packaged in a black suit and tie that probably cost more than the car his brother had bought me for security’s sake.
Sebastian Villin.
My arch nemesis.
Granted, we weren’treallyenemies. His brothers were mated to my best friends, so being enemies wasn’t truly an option. He just hated me, and I hated that he lived to squash all potential amounts of fun or joy.
So, we were as close to enemies as two people could get when they were forced to interact semi-frequently and act civil while doing so.
“What do you want, Sky?” Sebastian’s voice was smooth, as always.
The man rarely showed any emotion at all. I had definitely never seen him smile.
And I knew without asking that he wasn’t talking to me. He never talked to me, if he could avoid it.
Another spoiler: he could pretty much always avoid it.
“I need you to protect my sister. I have to go back to the prison,” August said.
Translation: he had decided I needed a large, adult male babysitter while he went back home, because some shit had undoubtedly gone down in his absence.
And the only person he knew who was uptight enough to handle me the way August would himself, was Sebastian.
I was going tokillmy brother.
“For how long?” Sebastian’s question made me want to kill him too. Then again, that didn’t take a whole lot, when we were talking about him.
“Indefinitely,” August said.
Silence ricocheted between the two men.
“She’s human,” Sebastian finally said. “Indefinitely isn’t an option.”
Afterthat, I wanted to stab him in the eye. Then strangle him.
I tried once again to pull my wrist out of August’s grasp, to no avail.
I didn’t need a babysitter—particularly not a big, sexy one who I was very much attracted to but also very much enemies with.
