“Do—do you think that’s Aleaha?” He nodded, hoping that would soothe her. “I’m sure of it.”

“She’s early, and I’m not ready.” Bride licked her lips, still not budging from that spot. “What if... what if she ran from me, all those years ago, and has been hiding from me?” Her uncertainty reminded him of the boy he’d once been. The boy who had put on his best clothes and snuck into his mother’s wing of the palace to give her a birthday present. The boy who had knocked on his mother’s door, hoping, praying for a smile, even a hug, when he gave her the picture he’d drawn for her. The boy who’d had to throw the gift away, because his mother had looked at it, thanked him, and placed it back in his hands before shutting the door in his face.

“She likes you, sweetheart. I swear it. She’s been searching for you, intending to save you from my wrath.” More knocking. “Coming, coming,” Dallas shouted from the living room.

“Why did it take me so long to find her, then? Why did I only recently discover her scent?” She looked so vulnerable, Devyn’s heart actually swelled in his chest, aching, grinding against his ribs. He was at her side before he realized he’d moved, wrapping his arms around her and drawing her close.

She rested her head in the hollow of his neck, her tremors vibrating into him. Her night-wild scent wafted to his nose, and he breathed deeply. The silk of her hair tickled his chin. He’d never held a woman like this. Just held her, an offer of comfort with no expectation of sex. As her hands gripped his back, as though she wanted to step inside him, be a part of him, he wondered why he’d resisted such a thing. This was paradise.

“Yo, Dev,” Dallas called. “Macy’s here, and she’s about to claw my face off for holding her back.”

“Then say good-bye to your face. We’re not ready.” A frowning Bride drew back. “Macy?”

“Remember. Aleaha took Macy’s identity. Just be glad her boyfriend, Breean, isn’t here. You’d have to endure an interrogation before touching her.”

The frown faded, leaving her vulnerable again. “Does Breean know who she really is? Does he treat her right? Is he rich?”

“Yes, he knows, and yes, he does. He loves her. And why do you care if he’s rich?”

“We promised each other we’d never marry anyone who was poor.”

“He’s rich.” I’m richer, he wanted to add, but didn’t. His finances didn’t matter, as he’d never remarry.

“Are we ready now? Macy will be happy to see you.” If Macy turned him into a liar and did not welcome Bride the way she deserved, he was going to kill her. Slowly, painfully.

“Yes.”

“Send her in, Dal,” he finally called. Even as he spoke, he moved away from Bride. His arms tingled where they’d been in contact with her.

The door flew open, and Macy raced inside. When she spotted Bride, she gasped and stopped.
