Since proper lawyer evasion didn't work, Lindsey did the most childish thing and gave an argument that would shame all his years of law school, "You started it."

Maybe Dean wouldn't press if he could see Lindsey didn't wish to talk about it? Fat chance.

Sighing, he ran a hand over his face. "Soulless, I won't care about you as a person, Dean. It doesn't care about the whole world, not just you. But he wants you because I do, so you will be an accomplishment, an object, a figure that he owns. Do you understand what I'm saying? I don't want to be treating you like that."
