she could feel coming off Dmitri Scarletti in waves. Towards her as well as Felix.
What on earth had her brother done to incur this man’s cold and no doubt deadly wrath?
Whatever it was, she had no intention of standing meekly by while this man attacked her brother—
either verbally or physically. ‘You don’t scare me, Count Scarletti,’ she informed him, grinding her teeth
together as amusement glittered briefly in the pale green gaze sweeping over her obvious slenderness and lack of height. ‘Don’t be fooled by appearances. I’m very proficient in kick-boxing—and I’m not afraid to use it!’
Grudging respect briefly lit his eyes and he nodded. ‘When this is all over I would be happy for you to demonstrate your skill. However,’ he continued ruthlessly when Lily would have spoken, ‘at this moment I am more concerned in locating your brother and returning my sister to her home and family without scandal than I am in any threats you may care to make!’
Lily was totally confused now. What did Claudia Scarletti have to do with all this?
‘Your sister?’
Dmitri eyed her scathingly. ‘I wish I could be sure you are as innocent in this matter as you sound, Miss Barton,’ he rasped harshly.
‘But I am innocent! At least...if you count ignorance as innocence.’ She frowned. ‘I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.’
‘I am talking of my sister and your brother’s elopement earlier today!’ he thundered, his patience obviously completely at an end.
Lily blinked.
Elopement?
Felix?
And Claudia Scarletti?
