Salvador gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you think I would actually steal a woman from my own brother? Even if I did have such thoughts, my mother wouldn't agree. She and Melanie were as close. as sisters. How could she allow Carissa to become a concubine?"

Derek chuckled. "I knew it. You were just trying to push them a little, Your Majesty. How could you bear to confine Lady Sinclair within the palace walls?"
