I was taken aback by Samantha's words, and that didn't happen often. I never imagined this woman to be so perceptive. Instantly, my view of her shifted. The sex slave I had pegged as crude now appeared to possess a sensitivity I hadn't anticipated. She had read me like an open book, dissecting my motives with startling accuracy.

Truth be told, I had only gone toe-to-toe with Jayce and Darlington for her that day because I wanted to snatch up what they coveted. It was simple sibling rivalry, nothing more. If my brothers wanted something, I wanted it too. That was how it had always been between us.
