Dinner was dull business talk. I found myself uninterested in the conversation and my attention fixated on him.

Emmett Claxton.

He sat across from me at dinner and his eyes never left mine. Of course, my eyes left his to watch his lips move when he talked or the way his strong hand would grip his wineglass, reminding me of how he’d gripped my hips several times today. My head swam with lust-filled thoughts and by the end of the meal, I was flustered and irritated.

Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.

“Sir,” Emmett says to my father as we all gather to leave. “I want to give your daughter something as a token of my promise to marry her tomorrow.”

My eyes find his twinkling brown ones and I nearly melt on the spot. The gasp from my mother tells me she feels the same. Father nods and I step over to Emmett.

“Dearest Cora,” he murmurs as he takes my glove and slowly slides it from my hand, baring my warm flesh to him. “While I waited for your return, I went to town and purchased this token of my affection.”

I blink several times when he produces a stunning gold ring with a yellow, multifaceted diamond on the top. It’s quite possibly the most beautiful piece of jewelry I’ve ever laid my eyes upon.

“Oh, Emmett,” I breathe. “It’s perfect.”

He flashes me a grin and slides it upon my marriage finger. It glistens and reflects the lights in the hallway. Lifting my hand to his lips, he kisses the knuckle of the finger that now proudly wears his ring.

“Until tomorrow, darling.”

I accept his kiss on my cheek and then follow my parents from the place that as of tomorrow will become home.

And I shall not sleep a wink until I’m here with him in it.
