Julian's smile widened slightly. "My brother seems to be quite taken with you. Its nauseating to see."
Luca began to rise.
But Vee moved faster.
Without drawing attention to herself, she placed her hand lightly on his thigh beneath the table.
Her fingers pressed just slightly. She didn't even look at him when she did it, her attention still on Julian.
Reluctantly, Luca settled back.
"I seem to be quite taken with him too." Vee answered.
"Yeah, he is so smitten he will try to harm his own brother for you."
"His brother wasn't being quite the gentleman at that moment."
Julian smiled and turned to Luca. "You didn't think I stopped father from electrocuting you for a reason? You didn't stop to think? And they say you are smarter than me."
"What do you want Julian?" Luca asked.
