Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Elena's face turned pale. "Dexter, they... They're simply too much..."

If there had been any way to avoid such humiliation, of course, she wouldn't have chosen to appear so pathetic. But there was no other choice. Men fell for this act, and Dexter was no exception.
