Ramon lifted his heavy crystal snifter, a family heirloom brought to the New World from Spain, tilted his head back, and drained the last of his brandy. Fury still pumped through him, as it had for the last three days.

He couldn't believe he was married. That he had been trapped like a naive schoolboy. Mostly he couldn't believe that the woman who had done it was Caralee McConnell, Fletcher Austin's niece. Worse yet, she was a gringa.

He felt like wringing her soft white neck.

His smile felt cold and bitter. At least she would finally warm his bed. He meant to take her as he had wanted to since the moment he had met her, hard and deep, pounding into her until his lust was sated. His loins swelled to think of it. His arousal pulsed stiffly against the front of his breeches, his blood pumping, growing thick and heavy, pooling low in his belly.

Carly had forced this marriage. She had meant to use him to save herself. Well now she was his wife, and he would be the one who used her.

He set the snifter down on the table, hardly aware of the driving rain that had begun to fall, and jerked open the door leading out to the patio. A cold wind knifed through his clothes, but he was too angry, his body too aroused to feel it. He didn't knock when he reached his room, just lifted the wrought-iron latch and jerked open the heavy oak door.

She was standing beside the bed, wearing the white silk nightgown his aunt had fashioned as a wedding gift. Her hair was down, gleaming like burnished copper in the light of the lamp on the dresser. A faint tremor rolled through her as he stepped through the door, and her big green eyes swung up to his face.

She looked so beautiful his breath caught, seemed to freeze inside his chest. Something warm slid through him, softening the barrier around his heart. He had seen the white silk gown when his aunt had sewn it. He knew it was exquisite, but he couldn't have imagined how beautiful Carly would look when she wore it. He couldn't have guessed the way her hair would shimmer across her shoulders, how the white of the gown would illuminate the paleness of her skin and the emerald of her eyes.

He couldn't have known the way her soft ruby lips would tremble with uncertainty, even though she kept her chin held high.

An odd pain rippled through him, a tightness that expanded and made his throat feel dry. He didn't like the feeling, didn't like the fact that just looking at Caralee could affect him in such a manner.

He forced his gaze downward, over her womanly curves. He paused at the dark aureoles at the tips of her breasts and the swelling in his groin began to throb. He assessed her tiny waist, the shadowy triangle of down between her legs, and the throbbing grew more intense, the blood pulsing thickly through his veins.
