Chapter 33 Lucien’s pov Dominic finally talked Patti into working with us. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. After all the last time we were together I forced a kiss upon her. I wanted to do everything I could to help Dominic but being around Patti all the time could be dangerous. I wanted her. The more time I spent with her the more I wanted to have her. She had this pain in her eyes that I wanted to make go away. I don’t know who hurt her, but if I ever find out they will pay. I have always felt the need to protect Patti. I thought it was because I felt I owed Dominic. Now I wonder if it has always been something more. Have I always had a crush on Patti? Growing up she was the little chubby girl that always annoyed me. Before she left, I started seeing her in a different light.
