"Madeline," Draven whispered, his eyes fixated on her beautiful face. Does he truly deserve this treasure? This woman, whom he had almost erased from her memory, whom he has yet to share the reason behind this marriage.
Madeline will eventually learn why he married her, and she will be hurt when she discovers the reason he cannot keep someone like her in his life. She will come to hate him after finding out. How can he bring himself to look at her after the prophecy, knowing fully well that he has betrayed her?
"Kiss me, will you? Stop thinking and kiss me," she groaned impatiently, pouting at him.
At that moment, Draven thought of nothing else. None of his worries mattered; what was most important to him was this woman here in his heart. "Sure, wife," he grinned, inching his lips closer to hers. By the time his lips met hers, he only thought of kissing and pleasuring every part of her.
