"You little birch! What the heck do you think you're doing?" The thing that baffled him the most was her strength. He couldn't break away!
"Let go of me!"
"And if I refuse? What are you going to do?" she asked. "You want to find your Adeline? Well, news flash, daddy's boy, Adeline is a married woman. Caesar Romanovich Kuznetsov's wife!"
She scoffed, letting go of one of his hands to wrap her fingers around his neck. Dimitri was too stunned on the spot to realize he had a chance to break free.
She rubbed her thumb on the mark, lips lifting into a smile. "You were made for me, Dimitri. Was I supposed to sit and watch you fawn after a woman that isn't yours? A woman who doesn't love you or want you in any way? The times you were in a coma, I took care of you, me and me alone. No one else, and now you think you can give yourself to someone else?"
