She had never threatened him like that. Lust's job had always to have his back, but she could be dangerous against him. He knew that. While Zoe was completely new, shiny and tight within his grasp, Lust was family he did not want to burn him. Not in the way she threatened. Not right now, not while he was still swimming around without any kind of way to breathe. He wasn't so vindictive right now that he'd sport and use Pride against her. That was where he and Lust differed.
She'd stunned him, but he supposed he did the same when he drug her mortal boy through the mud on a rainy night after letting him bleed dry. He would protect what he had if it meant giving up something else. He was used to bargains, and Lust was making a heavy one. He needed a moment to think about it.
