“And go back where?” Lucas asked calmly.

“How should I know where? Just go back where you came from. Why are you following me? I’m off duty now, and I won’t be at the hospital tomorrow. Can’t you just stay at your own place?”

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, he closed the distance and pressed her gently against the elevator wall.

The doors slid shut behind them.

Lynn leaned against the cool metal, her heart skipping a beat.

She turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, her eyes wide with panic. She couldnt even find her voice.

Lucas carried the faint, clean scent of shower gel–the same green citrus fragrance she had just used herself.

It was a smell that felt both refreshing and dangerously intimate.

Lucas stood right before her, his hands braced on either side, pinning her in place as he stared intently at the woman before him.

They were so close that the slightest movement from either would bring them into contact.

“You should have just listened and stayed put,” Lucas said, his voice low.

“Okay,” Lynn whispered, all her earlier defiance gone.

She was scared.

Scared that Lucas might reveal a side of himself she couldn’t handle.

She couldn’t understand why this man had suddenly decided to take charge of her life. She didn’t like domineering men.

Even her father hadn’t been enthusiastic about this arranged marriage, so why hadn’t he put a stop to it? Why had he essentially delivered Lynn to this… predator?

Lucas looked down at her, not harboring any ill intent. He simply found her flushed face rather endearing.

He hadn’t seen Lynn blush in front of him often—or perhaps he just hadn’t paid enough attention.

The last time had been yesterday in the tent, when he’d walked in on her–her cheeks had flushed as red as apples.

He shifted slightly to the side, giving her a little space to breathe.

Lynn let out a quiet, shaky breath.

The elevator stopped with a ding, and the doors opened to two stumbling, drunken men.

“Huh? Ain’t this goin‘ down?” one of them slurred, squinting at the button panel near Lynn.

Lynn glanced at Lucas and instinctively edged closer to him.

Lucas reached out and pulled her securely to his side without hesitation

Lynn trembled slightly, visibly uncomfortable.

One of the drunk men leaned heavily against the elevator wall, watching them with bleary arrasement, his gaze fixed on Lynn’s nervous posture.

It was obvious Lynn wasn’t comfortable with the man beside her.

The drunk man chuckled. “Hey, sweetheart, scared of us? Really? Clingin‘ to some random guy like that?”

The two drunks burst into raucous laughter.

Lucas…” Lynn didn’t want trouble. She thought she could just endure it until they reached her floor.

“Be good.”

Was this really the time for him to say something like that?

Her face flushed instantly, and the turmoil inside her suddenly felt more intense than her fear of the drunk men

Lynn quickly turned to face the wail, covered her ears with her hands, and squeezed her eyes shut.
