"I have an announcement to make."

Julian waited until all eyes were upon him before continuing. His gaze traveled from Letitia on his left, around the table to Gabriel, Lilith, Brave, Rachel and finally settling on Sophia. He held her gaze as he spoke. Sophia blushed but she didn't look away.

"Sophia and I are getting married."

A collection of gasps rose up from the other couples at the table. Julian couldn't help but chuckle at them. He could only imagine what must be going through Brave and Gabe's heads right now. And Lilith's for that matter. She had made her disapproval of him very clear that night at Penderthal's.

But what he really wanted to know was what Sophia was thinking. Had she really come there earlier to give him the chance to back out of the marriage? Did she think so little of him and his word that she thought he'd take it back so easily? If so, the kiss they shared in the ballroom should have done much to change her mind.

Christ, that kiss had shaken him so badly, affected him so deeply he had to leave the room lest he fall to his knees and beg her to allow him to make love to her right there in the ring!

It was becoming more and more obvious that concern for Letitia was only one of many reasons for marrying Sophia. His desire for her was quickly shadowing all else. He wanted her in his bed and in his life, and he couldn't imagine ever getting tired of her.

His jaw was sore where Harper had hit it, the inside of his mouth a little raw from scraping against his teeth, but it was all worth it when he remembered the way Sophia had looked at him.

She liked his body. She liked his long arms and the shoulders that he believed relatively narrow when compared to Brave and especially to Gabriel. No woman had ever looked upon him as appreciatively as Sophia. No woman had ever made him feel more like a man or more desirable. And at that moment he wanted her more than he had ever wanted anyone else.

Thank God they would be married in a week, and then she would be back under his roof and in his bed where she belonged. He used to laugh at people who said they would die if they couldn't have someone, but it had killed him to walk away from Sophia that afternoon.

And now here she was, looking more beautiful than any woman had a right to, in a plum-colored dress that flaunted her creamy skin and delectable breasts, and he wasn't allowed to touch her. Only under the table, where his knee pressed against her leg, could he feel her warmth. It wasn't nearly enough, but it would have to do.

"…toast."

Julian's head snapped around. How long had he been sitting there, staring at Sophia like an idiot?

Brave had his glass raised. Everyone else followed suit. "To Julian and Sophia," he said. "May they have a long and happy life together.
