Back in my hotel room, I stood in front of the mirror and touched my lips, thinking what a bad idea it had been to kiss him at the altar. A huge mistake … because now I knew what he tasted like and I wanted more.

His lips had devoured me, sending unsettling heat all over my body. The blood in my veins reached boiling point and when he pulled away, I knew he felt it too. This sensation penetrated the numbness, warming me from the inside out. For a second, I thought he must have forgotten we weren’t supposed to enjoying any of this and yet, I had. I was.

I am enjoying myself entirely too much…

I allowed myself to be lost in him, to entertain a silly fantasy and think about him as my husband. He was always so cool, with a solid grip on his icy control, but not in that church. There, I saw a different side of him. Since we left Chicago, he was the guy who looked after me and took care of all my needs. In that church, he wasn’t as in charge of his emotions as he normally was. Something was happening and I had no idea what.

I flinched as I pulled myself out of my thoughts and started taking my dress off, remembering that he was waiting for me downstairs. This whole wedding was exactly how I would have imagined my real one to be—not that I ever thought about it. But now that it happened, this really struck me as true and I wasn’t sure what to make of that. The Frenchwoman who showed up in my room was so nice and sweet. Sebastian had really done well by choosing her. He’d thought about everything and I was a little surprised we had similar taste. Madame Bois had presented me with a few dresses and I picked the simplest one. I didn’t like anything over-the-top and I looked so incredible once my makeup and hair were done, too. Like a comfortable stranger in my own skin.

The panoramic views we enjoyed during the drive to the church were incredible. Even the priest was an amicable man I would have picked to perform the ceremony. Were it not for the truth, I’d have been privileged to call myself Sebastian’s wife.

“You were sold to him. One kiss doesn’t change any of this,” I told myself with a sigh.

I walked over to my wardrobe and selected a new dress that was gifted to me by the French lady. This one was yellow and a bit short, covering only enough of my upper my thighs, but I liked it very much. I normally didn’t wear anything that revealing, but it was my wedding day. I wanted to look sexy.

The scars were still there and Sebastian knew about them, but I felt a little self-conscious when I put it on. He’d created this dream wedding for me and I couldn’t deny the fact that despite what he had done, I was attracted to him.
