What brought about this unexpected surge of confidence?
Or was it just a fake one?
Was this how he won the hearts of all those whores of his?
By manipulating them into loving him?
Lucien glared at Ronan. When the latter reached out to caress Lucien's cheek, his hand was viciously slapped away.
Lucien hated it when Ronan did not listen to him, but he hated it even more to be babied around. By anyone, but especially by Ronan.
"I am not one of your whores," Lucien had to remind the Alpha.
Ronan gave Lucien an indulgent smile. He tilted his head slightly to the side while observing Lucien's twitching lips. It was great when Lucien was anything but condescending and cold. It made Lucien more approachable. More human.
"You are not," Ronan agreed.
Before Lucien said anything in return, Ronan grabbed his hand and pulled him away.
"Where are you taking me?"
"I thought you are getting discharged."
