"Yeah, right," I snort

"The sooner you accept it, the better for all of us."

He dips his head and kisses me slowly. His lips, while soft, are commanding

Many women nowadays dream of having a career. While I wanted to be an architect, I wouldn't mind having a family. But that won't happen with Alekos, Reyes, or Stefan

I am not sure what Alekos' agenda is, but I am probably here because I remind him of his younger self, when he did not have so many obligations as a Lord. Once the novelty around me wears off, he will let me go
