“I… I’m sorry,” Cade apologized. “Look, Lukas, I have a girlfriend and… and we’re getting married soon. Whatever impression you have of me is wrong.”
“I like you and, I know, the feeling is mutual.” Lukas shook his head, stopping Cade’s objection. “You only need to be honest with yourself and admit how you really feel about me,” he added.
Cade removed Lukas’s hand and said, “Lukas, I know what I what. I want to have a peaceful life with Kate. Nothing could ever change that."
Lukas’s face darkened and he withdrew his hand furiously.
“I have always gotten what I wanted. You will be mine, Cade, no matter what it takes. You can count on that!” Lukas roared.
Lukas’s tone frightened Cade. But above all, the underlying promise scared him the most.All Rights Reserved
