Chapter 9

Sensing someone beside him, Ronan woke quickly. But when he realized where he was, or more importantly, who he was with, he relaxed with a grin. Turning his head on the pillow, he stared at his exhausted bride. He’d worn her out the night before—worn himself out too.

He allowed his gaze to linger as she slept. Warm, rosy, with a hint of beard burn on her cheek, she looked well-loved. Her blond hair cascaded over her pillow, and he had a deep urge to crawl back on top of her and nuzzle the softness.

She’d given him so much more than he ever thought possible last night. She’d filled his soul, holding nothing back as she gave and gave.

He’d never met anyone as selfless as Olivia. He didn’t deserve her. And he’d probably end up hurting her when everything was settled with Lawrence, but he prayed he didn’t. She was the one person in the world he wanted to protect. The one person, the only person, who mattered. He hoped that when everything was finished, he could start anew with her. Life with Olivia could be much more than he dreamed of.

He just had to finish this with Lawrence.

And to do that, he had to ask even more from her. He pushed remorse away. He was on a path that he couldn’t turn from. And a little bad in the beginning of their marriage wouldn’t ruin the rest of it. They had their whole lives. And after last night, they were bound together forever.

He got up and dressed. They had several days of traveling by train ahead of them, so they needed to make sure they were comfortable. Plus, everything they’d need during the trip had to be packed in a separate bag to board with them. He should call a maid.

He glanced at Olivia. Or maybe not? Would she rather take on the task of packing? He spent another moment in indecision before summoning someone. Olivia could oversee the maid’s packing if she wished.

He sat on the edge of the bed and ran a finger down her soft arm to wake her. He remembered the feel of her—the taste—and touching her only made him want more.

When she stirred, he murmured, “Good morning.”

Her eyes flew open, and almost as fast, she sat up, the blankets hoisted to her chin.

He held back a smile as he watched her remember what had happened the day before—and especially, last night.

“Good morning.” She smiled shyly, pushing back a honey lock behind her shoulder, then eyed his clothes. “How long have you been awake?”

“Not long. I would’ve let you sleep a bit later, but a maid is on her way and I thought you’d want to be dressed when she arrived.”

Her cheeks pinked. “Thank you.”

She shifted on the bed awkwardly and he grew concerned. “Are you all right? Are you hurting?” He imagined any woman after their first time would most likely ache.

“I’m all right.” Her blushed deepened. “A little sore, maybe, but it’s not bad.
