The Patrician's Fortune- a Historical Romance
“Julia pursed her lips, not trusting herself to reply to Damon’s insulting sarcasm. How dare he make any comment when he had no idea who he had insulted, when in fact he should have been securely locked in his room. She shot him a narrowed glare. He very well could have ruined everything.
Never mind that she had been thoroughly shaken by Quintus’ aggressive demand and had felt nothing but pure relief when he had entered the garden and come to her rescue.
“You had no cause to interfere,” she repl...ied coolly. “It is not your place.”
Damon scoffed. “Not my place? By your own hand, goddess, you put me there and a very precarious place it is turning out to be.” He took a few steps away from her then stalked back. “Gods, the Prefect of Rome! A man second only to the Emperor Nero in power and every bit as ruthless.”
He knew who Quintus was? “You exaggerate.”
She had thought him dangerous looking before but the dark look that flashed across Damon’s face now sent a shiver racing down her spine.MoreLess
