Elizabeth Hoyt Quote

The end of his vicious rant ended in a satisfying squawk as Apollo backhanded him. The other man staggered and fell on his arse. No, don’t hurt him! Lily cried, and Apollo hated to think she cared for this man. I won’t, he assured her in a level tone. He stared at the sputtering rogue for a moment and made up his mind. But neither will I… stand by while he… abuses you. So saying, he picked up the man and tossed him over his shoulder. Wait here. The man made a sort of moan and Apollo hoped he wouldn’t toss his accounts down his back. He’d bathed and changed into a fairly clean shirt before coming to see Lily. Pivoting, he marched toward the dock, the man still over his shoulder. Caliban! He ignored her calls. He didn’t really care who this ass was—as long as he was nowhere near Lily or Indio.
