calling out for her. After she bathed and changed into another outfit, she found herself in the dining room after following the delicious smells. Croissants, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, and everything else she could possibly imagine was laid out like an offering to a god.
    Meals at her family’s home had always been grand, but when it came to Anna’s meals she had been fed sparingly. According to her mother a proper husband didn’t care for a plump wife. Even though she ate only what was given to her, her figure was robust at best. When accusations came from her mother that Anna was stealing food and that was why she was so thick, Anna had made herself refrain from the already small portions of food she was provided. Now here she sat, surrounded by a feast, and all she could keep thinking about was the harsh and hurtful words her mother and father had thrown out at her daily.
    “You have to be hungry.”
    She looked up at Arik. She was, and the grumble her belly decided to give at that moment told them as much.
    “The broth I gave you last night wasn’t substantial.” He pointed his fork to the spread and said, “You need to eat and further rid your body of the toxins.”
    “I would have gone willingly with you if I had known the reason.” She looked at him then Luca. “Drugging me wasn’t necessary.”
    Luca’s jaw was clenched as he stared at his brother. Arik set his fork down so softly and precisely it was a little frightening, and how ridiculous was that? There was just something dark and powerful that surrounded him, something that should have made her keep her distance, yet she found herself drawn inexplicably to him. For several long moments all he did was stare at her. It seemed he did that at every turn. Luca watched Arik with a foreboding expression on his face. Was it really her place to complain how they got her out? Yes, drugging was a bit extreme, but she was no longer part of the auctions. Anna should be thanking them, right?
    “Drugging you was my last resort, although there were only two options I had for you. If I recall correctly you didn’t want to come willingly, even after I explained we didn’t have a lot of time.” This was true, of course.
    “If you would have just told me Luca sent you, I would have felt comfortable going with you, because I would have known your intentions were true.” When everything was said and done Anna trusted Luca with her life. Their lives had been vastly different, but in her heart she had felt safe around him, and in the world she lived in and the people that surrounded her, her instincts were all she had.
    “I tried, Anna, but in that situation time was of the essence. I am a man who doesn’t have time for games. I came there for one purpose, and I wasn’t leaving until you were in the back of my car. If that meant drugging you to get to the end result then so be it.” He finished his coffee and stood. “I do apologize for the impairment I had to cause on you, but it was imperative. I think we can both agree that it worked out for the best.” He raised a dark brow at her, and she found herself nodding. He was right, and she felt foolish for making a big deal about it. In the end how he got her out wasn’t important. She was no longer a prisoner, and that was all that mattered. Arik turned to leave, and she stood quickly.
    “Wait.”
    He looked over his shoulder, and there was surprise on his face at her raised voice.
    “I didn’t properly thank you for saving my life.” And that was what he had done. If not for him and Luca she dreaded to think of what her fate would have been. Horrid images of what Master Charles could be doing to her or making her do at this very moment played through her mind. “Thank you.” She whispered the words and looked between the brothers. For the first time since she had been in his presence he offered her a genuine smile.
    “You’re welcome, Anna.” He turned and disappeared down the hallway, and Anna
