This Man’s Wife

DAKOTA

The limo drove all four of us back to the hotel. Once we exited, I pulled my sister into my arms and hugged her tight.

“Savvy, you be careful. Get a good night’s rest, and I’ll see you at the meeting in the morning.” I looked directly into her baby blues as she nodded.

I let her go and stepped up to her Viking. “And you.” I pointed directly at the handsome man’s chest. “You hurt my sister, lay a hand on her, force her to do anything inappropriate, so help me God, I’ll hunt you down like a wild animal. I’ll shoot you right between the eyes. Take off your whole head in one go.”

Erik wisely stepped back a pace.

Sutton curled an arm around my shoulders, coming up from behind. “Oooh, boy, she’s not joking. I know for a fact she’s a good shot too. I’d tread carefully.” He tipped his hat with his free hand. “You two have fun gettin’ to know one another,” he offered. “Come on, sweetness. We’ve got a wedding night to get to.” Sutton’s drawl was throaty and sexy, sending little pleasurable zaps of electricity down my arms. I hated him and my traitorous body for it.

I cringed and tried to shuffle my shoulders to buck him off to no avail. He held tight. Worst part, his hold around my body felt warm and comforting after I’d experienced the craziest day of my life.

“I’ve taken the liberty of having all of your things packed up and moved to my room,” he stated as he led me to the same elevator we’d come from earlier.

My entire body went cold, and I spun around and shoved him back. “You what!” I roared, the sound bouncing off the four walls of the elevator.

He smirked. “While you were talking to your sister at the chapel after the wedding, I left instructions for the hotel and Madam Alana. After we got married and signed the license, I snapped a picture and sent it to her. She was thrilled and happy to help. All too quick to start the process for the transfer of the first million and a quarter as well.”

I clenched my jaw so tight the muscle at the hinge ached. “Well, you’ve thought of everything, haven’t you, dear husband,” I snarled.

He grinned wide. “That I have, dear wife.”

The elevator dinged, and the door opened. Sutton took my hand and clamped down tight in order to hold on as he trudged down the hallway. Brute strength won the battle.

With his other hand, he pulled a keycard from his pocket and opened the door.

His room was much nicer than mine. A full suite with a stunning view of the Las Vegas Strip through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was even a living room section, a bar, and a small dining area that currently had two long taper candles burning along with a bouquet of daisies. Not roses. On the table were two place settings with domed metal tops covering the plates.
