doing that.”
    “I don’t need –”
    “Yes you do.” Luke barked and she jumped at the sudden explosiveness of it. Her heart beat furiously in her chest. “You do need Cassie.” He said in a quieter tone. He stepped closer to her. “There is nothing wrong with needing.”
    Cassie felt the heat in her cheeks and her blood soared in her ears. The atmosphere around them seemed to change and Cassie had the feeling that he was no longer talking about Faye. “And by the time that this is over I am going to make damn sure that you understand that.” He promised her.
    “Please.” She whimpered and stopped.
    “Please what Cassie?” Luke’s voice dropped, becoming sultry and Cassie shivered. She crossed her arms protectively across her chest.
    “I will talk to her.” she tried again.
    “And what do you think that will do?” Luke asked her taking another step closer to her so that she could feel the heat of his body and smell that delicious aroma of his aftershave and his skin.
    “I…” she looked up at him, trapped in his gaze. She felt his fingers brush her upper arm. Her skin reacting to the touch instantly, her body humming instantly from the contact. It wasn’t fair, she decided again.
    “By the time this is over I am going to make damn sure that she doesn’t walk all over you anymore. You got that Cassie. It ends.” He made it sound like a threat and Cassie felt that familiar shiver run through her.
    “Just let me deal with her.” She tried again.
    “You had your chance, too late. It’s my turn.” Luke promised her. This didn’t sound good at all. What was he planning? This couldn’t be good for Faye.
    “I am not going to argue with you. We are done.” She turned to go.
    “She is not worth it you know. Perhaps I should just press criminal charges instead. She needs to learn.” He baited her.
    “No.” Cassie turned back to him then. “Please. I will talk to her. I will stop her from coming near you. I promise.” She begged him fearfully.
    “And how are you going to do that. Follow her around twenty-four seven. Put her on tag.” Luke scoffed scornfully. “You cannot police her and you know it.”
    “I will talk to her. You have my word I will make her stop.”  The trouble was Cassie had no way of making good on that promise and Luke had learnt that depressing fact. He had seen it first-hand these past couple of months.
    “Your methods are not working. I am sorry but she needs a kick up the backside. You are either incapable of doing it or you don’t want to be capable of doing it.” Luke turned and strode from her and Cassie followed him.
    “Please, let’s just come to an amicable arrangement.” Cassie tried again, desperate to stop Luke doing something terrible to her sister. As bad as Faye was, she was still her sister.
    “Amicable and your mentally unstable sister don’t seem to fit well together.” Luke told her sternly not breaking his stride.
    In desperation Cassie reached out to stop him and she grabbed at the hem of his jacket and pulled, putting her body weight into stopping him. There was a sickening tearing sound. Luke stopped abruptly and Cassie slowly looked down.
    Horrified she looked at the rip at the seam of his suit jacket. It went halfway up the back seem of his expensive suit jacket. Cassie felt sick, she let go of the material as if it had burned her and she took several steps back.
    “O…” Cassie said and swallowed hard.
    “What is it with your family. Would you like to come over to my house and wreck it?” Cassie cast shocked wide eyes up into Luke’s warm blue eyes. Even when they sparked with anger he still had very nice eyes she noticed. She cursed Faye again.
    “That was an accident.” Cassie defended herself. “I did not intend to rip your jacket. I could sew it for you.” Cassie suggested.
    “No thanks. Why don’t I send you the bill for the car and I will let you have this one for free, seeing as its your first offence.” Luke stared
