Ashton met Briar’s gaze without flinching. Finally, Briar gave in. “Why the sudden idea of getting a marriage certificate?” she asked.

Ashton rolled off Briar and lay beside her, smoothly pulling her into his embrace. “I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I never had a chance to bring it up. Back home, there was no point, as you weren’t of legal age to get married.”
