Cordy was left infuriated even as Lucas violently dragged her to his room. "Are you crazy, Lucas?!"
What was he doing in the middle of the night?!
Did he not hate her getting close to him?!
"You're the crazy one!" Lucas growled viciously. "You stood me up after I warmed the bed for you! You know, I really should…"
Cordy glared at him.
What can he do to her, when she knew all too well that he was not interested in her body?!
"Should, what?!" Cordy challenged him.
"I…" Lucas once again trailed off, unable to say anything for a long while.
"What can you do to me—ah!"
Cordy yelped as her whole body was pinned against the wall, his towering form restraining her dainty figure in place and denying her any chance of escape.
Under the dim lights, she saw the fury in his eyes as if he could eat her.
She was really confused—how did she upset him?!
"You're really not afraid of me, are you?" Lucas growled through his teeth, his face contorted with rage.
Cordy had the feeling he was just venting at her and was getting grouchy in turn. "What? What are you going to do tonight?"
It was very late—she did not want to wake anyone else, since they needed sleep even if she could not fall asleep.
"I… I really want to kill you," Lucas snarled, clenching his fist.
Cordy was wary, but she realized she forgot about that.
He was not interested in her body and would not stray out of line, but his temper was so bad that if he got physical, she would not even be able to survive a single punch.
