Chapter Thirteen

A beautiful and enormous feeling swept over Lilliana as she looked at her husband. She shouldn’t be surprised by how he made her feel, but every time she looked into his eyes a new thrill rolled through her. She should have expected him to want marriage, but it hadn’t really crossed her mind. The more they discussed it the more it had made sense to her. It had taken her a while to admit it to herself, but Lilliana knew she loved Rand. As wonderful as the emotions coursing through her were they didn’t compare to the fear of rejection. He hadn’t once mentioned his own feelings. Telling him would be a risk, but surely it was worth it.

No matter how many times she let that thought roll through her mind she still had trouble believing it. A husband, she actually had willingly tied herself to someone else forever. For a person that never intended to be anyone’s wife so far she found it incredibly easy to be Rand’s. Admittedly they had only been husband and wife less than two hours, but everything between them had a natural and oh so right feel to it. Rand hadn’t said anything about love in his proposal, and it bothered a small part of her. She needed to know that he loved her, but she would wait until he knew it as much as she did. Forcing him to say the words would take away the joy of them. They wed and for now that had to be enough.

They finished eating their meal and left to procure a coach to take them to the plantation the next day. A small bubble of excitement continued to well inside of her at the thought of them being together in every way possible. She wanted him so much. Nothing could ever change how much she loved him.

“Ah if it isn’t the two newlyweds themselves,” a male voice said from directly behind them said with a laugh.

Rand and Lily turned to see the witnesses from their wedding directly behind them.

“Jamieson, Eliza,” Rand nodded. “We didn’t expect to see you two again so soon.”

“We just finished our meeting with Reverend Thomas,” Eliza smiled.

“It went well, I expect,” Lilliana said.

“It did indeed, “Jamieson agreed. “If I am not being to forward, can I ask you a question?”

“Of course,” Rand said. “What do you want to know?”

“Well your wife looks mighty familiar to me. Where to you hail from?” Jamieson asked.

“Lily is late of London, England. She’s traveling to live at her mother’s plantation,” Rand replied.

“Actually now it’s mine.” Lilliana grinned.

“What?” Rand looked surprised.

“It’s my dowry. Didn’t I mention that?”

“No dear, you failed to inform me of that little bit of knowledge.”

“Well now you know,” she said with a shrug.

“Oh, I see the resemblance, now,” Jamieson said. “You are the daughter of the Viscount Torrington.”

Lilliana looked up at him with shock on her face. She didn’t think anyone would make the connection from her to her parents. Somehow this man knew not only them, but her relationship with them.
