The Brothers' Virgin Captive Read Online Free PDF

I had to leave. It was the only way.”
    Anna blinked at his words. How was leaving her there supposed to save her? He may not have realized this, but having him there had made her feel protected. When he left she had felt so exposed. They may have never spoken directly, and there may have only been a handful of times that he actually looked at her, but it had been on those rare occasions that she wished she had been born into poverty so she could have chosen her own destiny.
    She said again, “I don’t understand.”
    Luca took her hand and led her into the large room. It appeared to be a study with the books that lined two of the walls, the grand fireplace, and the elaborate looking desk that sat in the corner. The room made her feel as though she had been transported back in time. Bound books no longer existed aside from museums and collectors. The vast number that Arik seemed to have astounded her, and she wondered how he had come by so many.
    “Sit down, Anna, and I’ll explain everything to you.” Luca led her to a large wing-backed chair. She noticed the clock on the wall showed it was past midnight. How long had she slept? She certainly wasn’t tired for how late it was. Arik took a seat on the couch in front of her, but Luca continued to stand behind it, his eyes locked on hers.
    “Two years ago our father passed away. Arik took over the business and turned it into one of the wealthiest corporations on the planet.” Luca walked toward the fireplace and stared into the flames. He braced one arm on the mantel and seemed lost in thought. Anna was very aware of Arik watching her silently as he drank his liquor. It was a bit disconcerting, but also had a strange sensation coursing through her veins. As Anna stared into Luca’s profile, and watched the light from the fire cast shadows across the planes of his face, she wondered what had happened in his life. Why hadn’t he helped his brother run the family business?
    “Arik and I do not share the same mother, so when I was born Arik was already ten years old.” Luca turned around, and his face expressed no emotion. “My mother was a whore.” Her shock at how he referred to his mother must have showed on her face because he added, “I say that in the literal sense, Anna. Our father, Henrick Graison, loved to stray from his marriage. When Arik’s mother found out about her husband’s infidelity and that a child was conceived from it, she threatened to take him for everything he had.”
    The sound of Arik setting his glass on the table had Anna looking at him. “Henrick was a powerful man, but my mother was stronger and more influential in the community. Without my mother and her family’s connections, our father would have been nothing, so you see why he bent to her will on all things easily. It was his own stupidity and the love of women that made him an adulterer, but still my mother stayed with him.” Arik placed both of his arms on the back of the couch, and his green eyes held hers.
    Luca took a seat beside his brother, and Anna looked between the two men. Clearly they favored their father for how closely they resembled each other, and Anna felt extremely heartbroken for what Luca must have gone through as a child. “At forty-five years old I inherited our father’s business. The company was lucrative in selling holographic devices to aid in warfare, but I expanded distribution and added items to fit all consumers. Graison Corporations is now a top-selling company that supplies a vast array of items to residential areas as well.”
    Arik was nearing fifty? He certainly didn’t appear that old. His appearance was so physically fit, and she couldn’t see a stitch of grey in his dark hair.
    “We are getting off topic here.” Luca said as he leaned forward. Arik didn’t take his eyes off her, and she found herself shifting in her seat. Turning her attention back to Luca she watched as he looked at the ground and ran his hand through his short dark
