I wanted to hear her say it.

“I think I have one you might want.” She wrapped her arms around herself. Was she being shy? She took another step toward me then pulled her shirt off, her nude bra barely covered her breasts. I gulped hard when she slid out of her skirt and kept walking toward me.

Was this really happening?

I should tell her to stop, I should explain that my self-control was next to nothing after holding her every night and that I never fell asleep fast but tortured myself with thoughts of kissing her, stripping her down, making her truly mine.

She stopped in front of me, her breasts grazing my chest. The cloth was so thin I could feel her heat through my shirt. “I mean, I’ve never taken a shower on my honeymoon in a cabin, I guess that’s a first.”

“Y-yes,” I agreed. What the hell? “It is.”

What went on beyond that for the next hour, I could only describe as hell. She took her shower, loudly, and asked me to find the soap after getting too much in her eyes and needing help to rinse off.

She was naked, I nearly ran into a wall.

“Another first!” she’d yelled after showering. “Romantic dinner by ourselves without any security.”

“Yay.” I started grabbing some of the meat and cheeses in the fridge and nearly choked when she walked out of the bathroom naked. “Let me guess, another first.”

“I’ve never just walked naked in a cabin in front of my husband.”

“Great.”

“Oh look, a book. I’ve never read a book naked.”

“Do it all the time.” I lied. “There should be something over there. I think.” She was slowly killing me.

“Also…” She grabbed some old book and opened it. “I’ve never done one more thing.”

Please let it stop, I couldn’t even focus on what was cheese and what was meat anymore on the wood board, it looked like a toddler got into the fridge and was trying to build a shrine.

She hummed happily to herself while I checked my phone and read through the messages again.

Me

It’s done.

I’d texted King first, then Bella.

King

What will you do?

Me

Stick to the plan, my guy’s following the old bodyguard just in case the new boss double crosses us or doesn’t want to meet, at least we’ll have a location.

King

And Bella?

Me

I’ll make sure she’s protected—made—into the De Lange line and pray I don’t get killed later.

King

The cabins stocked, use your time wisely. You won’t have much of it, but I’ll cover for you before we break the news to everyone that you’ve betrayed the Five Families and have her as a hostage.
