“You should hear the things they say about you,” I whispered instead, and let one side of my mouth curve up in a half smile.
That smirk returned to his face, but the look behind his eyes was not lost on me. Here was a Wolf who was used to absolute control and power, a male with a reputation for violence that went far beyond mine.
And, if I was not mistaken, that was also lust behind his brown eyes, an emotion I feared more than any anger from such a male, though I would never in a million moons have admitted it.
He released my wrist slowly, and I tucked my hands into my jacket pockets to keep from rubbing at the sore spots where his fingers had begun to dig in, making sure to hold his stare. Any sign of submission would be seen as a weakness.
When the silence went on a little too long, I said, “You have nothing to worry about from me, Mr. Borden.”
Lukas quirked one dark brow before blinking slowly and turning back toward the bar, resting his beefy arms atop it.
I had no trouble recognizing the dismissal, and took this as my cue to leave, skirting past Bowie on my way out with a nod after reclaiming my weapons.
I also didn’t miss the fact that Lukas Borden had not bothered to offer me any sort of similar assurance.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he did, because we both knew it would have been a lie.
