Over her dead body.
Elena swallowed the desire to grasp at what was an exceptionally good real estate deal.
She couldn’t do it if it involved selling out in any way to a Messena. Maybe it was a subtle point, but after the damage done to her aunt’s reputation, even if it was years in the past, and after her own seduction, she was determined to make a stand.
Lyon property was not for sale to a Messena, just like Lyon women were not for sale. She met Nick’s gaze squarely. “No.”
Cutler’s disbelief was not mirrored on Nick’s face. His gaze was riveted on her, as if in that moment he found her completely, utterly fascinating.
Another small heated tingle shot down her spine and lodged in her stomach.
As if, in some perverse way, he had liked it that she had said no.
