HIS DEATH 10

Chapter 10 

I decided to postpone olir honeymoon for three days

Not for anything dramaticjust to watch Adrian and Lillian’s big show.” 

Simple curiosity

But barely ten minutes after I said that, Blake’s face already turned sour

The hand that had been holding mine

Loosened

He now stood exactly one meter away from me, like we were at some awkward cocktail party

Well,he said, ohsocasually, Miss Langford certainly has time to kill

Planning to crash the engagement and steal the groom?” 

His tone was calm, but his eyes could’ve pickled a cucumber

I burst out laughing. What kind of soap opera is playing in that head of yours?I’m not crashing anything. I just want to see how far they really get.” 

He gave me a slow onceover.Then, without warning, he stepped in, fingers catching my earlobenot hard,just possessive enough to make my heart skip

You’d better remember,he murmured, voice husky, You’re the one who picked me as your husband.If you ever say you regret itI won’t be the gracious extype.” 

You really-I started to snap,but he cut me off with a quiet chuckle

Get used to it, Mrs. Hawthorne.He enunciated each word like a tease. You’ll warm up to it.Mrs. HawthorneMrs. HawthorneMrs-” 

Shut up,I slapped his arm, cheeks blazing

Typical Blake

Shameless, smug- 

and annoyingly goodlooking

He leaned closer, and I could smell that cedarwood cologne he always wore

Low and warm, he whispered against my ear,You do realize we haven’tconsummated anything yet?” 

I knew exactly what he meant

The wedding ceremony had been all show- 

no wine toasts, no real party, and no real wedding night

We’d slipped out before the reception even started

What are you talking aboutI mumbled, barely louder than a breath

He didn’t wait for my answer

He grinned, bent down, and swept me up into his 

s arms 

Blake Hawthorne! Put me down!I shrieked, squirming

Stop it,he said smugly. No one’s watching.”

Chapter 10 

Thankfully, this was a private extate a wedding gift from my father No staff had moved in yet

He carried me through the hall, into our bedroom Kicked the door shuts Drew the curtains

The room flickered with soft candlelight

Velvet sheets, warm amber glowthe atmosphere? Perfect

He laid me down gently. One arm wrapped around my waist, the other braced beside me

And the way he looked at me- 

like I was glowing from the inside out

Evelyn,he said, low and slow

My name had never sounded so intoxicating

Then he kissed me

I didn’t resist

Everything happened that night- 

until dawn, when the light finally broke over the horizon

I lay in his arms, my whole body languid and flushed

He looked smug, satisfiedlike a man who’d just won every 

bet 

he ever made

YouyouI muttered, searching for a curse, and failing

He laughed like a cocky schoolboy who’d just broken the rules and gotten 

away 

with 

Then nuzzled into my neck like a big, overgrown dog

You’re my wife now, Evelyn.” 

His voice was warm, rough, and unmistakably proud

My heartbeat stuttered

Maybe it was the way he said it

Maybe it was just that the word wifehad never sounded soright
