Experiencing Maxwell's arms around me was the greatest feeling in the world, and I felt safe, as if the rest of the world didn't even exist. We couldn't be hurt because no one else was there. He didn't need to protect me because none could harm either of us.

But that wasn’t the reality of our situation. Not in the slightest.

“I need to spread the word about our nuptials,” Maxwell said.

“You managed to send off your goons to spirit away my family, but you didn’t alert Viktor to our saying ‘I do?’”

“Technically, we didn’t say ‘I do,’” he reminded me, “and for as long as we’re married, your family is my family.”

I drew away from him, sitting next to him. I curled up with my legs propped up, my arms wrapped around my knees. Even though his vampire body was cooler than my own, we had generated more than a little heat, and I felt freezing apart from him. The reminder that our marriage was a fake, that it would be dissolved, only served to reinforce what a dangerous game we were playing.

“And goons?” he added with a quirk to his lips that made my stomach flip.

I shrugged. “Would you prefer I said soldiers? Caporegime?”

To my amazement, Maxwell chuckled, the sound low, sexy, dark, and deep.

"A vampire wedding is not officially over until the consummation," he explained.

“Yes, but you could have spread word. By the time it would have reached Viktor, it would have been true.”

“It takes minutes for vampire news to spread,” he said dryly. “You don’t know what time it is, do you?”

I slowly shook my head.

He pointed to the clock on the nightstand.

We had been up here for two hours.

I gaped at him. How had that much time passed?

His fingers trailed up and down my back. It tickled but also sent tendrils of pleasure and craving through me. It made me feel desired and, to some extent, safe.

Nestled here in our marital bed, no one could harm me.

“You will stay here, with me,” Maxwell said in a tone that broached no argument.

I could only nod. After all, I had asked for his protection, and he had granted it. Of course I would stay here.

“I will have clothes brought to you. You need a coat and… More,” he said, his voice thick, the word husky, and I flushed as his gaze wandered over my body.

My husband was checking me out.

“Ah, um, you said the ball was now our reception,” I said as I scrambled out of the bed. It was soft, to the point that you could sink into it, so luxurious. It was unlike any bed I had ever slept in before.

Would I sleep in it?

Would he?

“Shouldn’t we go back to it?” I asked, trying to right my thoughts.

“Yes, indeed,” he murmured.

He stretched, his body long and lean and muscular. With ease, he left the bed behind, and I found myself gawking as he dressed. As his long, skilled fingers buttoned his shirt from the bottom up, I snapped out of my trance and began to dress.
