Andie Brock – The Greek's Pleasurable Revenge (страница 9)
âAnd I donât suppose he was responsible for getting me arrested and banged up in jail for four and a half years either?â Lukas gave a harsh laugh.
âNo! I donât believe that either. How would that even have been possible?â
âRemarkably easily, as it turned out. It seems your father had villainous friends in remarkably high places. Or should I say low places?â
âNo! Youâre making all this up.â
âDonât insult my intelligence by pretending you didnât know.â Lukas ran a hand over his close-cropped hair. âNo doubt you have tried to dress it up over the yearsâreshape your traitorous actions to ease your conscience, help you sleep at night. But the fact is you betrayed me in the same way your father betrayed my father. You traded your innocence for my guilt. I just hope it was a price worth paying.â
Calista turned away from him, stumbling across the room towards the open doors of the terrace. She clearly couldnât face himâwell, that was hardly surprising. He stared at her silhouette, dark against the azure blue of the sea meeting the sky. He could feel the thrum of his pulse in his ears, a tightness in his chest that had yet to be released.
He wasnât done with her yet.
âSo you see, agape mou, this is my little payback. My turn to let you see what itâs like to be used. To be taken advantage of. To have your body violated by someone for their own gain.â
Closing the gap between them, he placed a hand on her shoulder, turning her so that she couldnât avoid the hard, dark glitter of his eyes.
âSo tell me, Calista. How does it feel?â

Calista tried to swallow past the shock that was blocking her throat. Her heart was thudding wildly in her chest, her palm still stinging from where it had connected with Lukasâs jaw. But her brain had gone into slow motion, struggling to process all the terrible things he had said.
