Luca’s POV I grin to myself as I walk out of Lia’s room. She is still the same woman I bought from the auction. Strong headed and defiant. Luckily, I haven’t changed her. I wouldn’t want it any other way. At least not now. My mind goes to how she looked when I leaned into her. Her eyes sparkling and her body shaking, betraying what she was saying. ‘I don’t want you near me.’. I chuckle to myself. Coming from the person whose eyes roamed my entire body when she got the chance. She wasn’t the only one holding back. I fought the urge to lift her off the ground, throw her on the bed and have my way with her but that would have to wait. There is still time to toy with her. Plus, there are more important things to take care of at the moment. Like who the f**k tried to kill me in my own home.
