“Alrighty then,” said the cheerful clerk behind the desk, “We just need to cover the fee, and you two will be married.”

I watched silently, my mind reeling as Damon pulled out a gold card from his jacket like he had known he’d be needing it.

“Do you

take credit?” he flashed her a charming smile.

“Of course!” the brunette clerk beamed.

Normally, I’d have rolled my eyes at his flirting, but I was too busy wondering why on earth I was standing in the Clark County Marriage License Bureau with Damon Steyn, my childhood adversary.

I couldn’t think over the sounds of the whirling printer, the tapping of Damon’s fingers on the desk. and the smell of fresh ink.

Still dazed, I looked around the lobby full of empty seating. There was only one clerk waiting when Damon and I reluctantly walked in.

The Bureau was empty on a Friday night. Shouldn’t it be full?

“Here’s your marriage license,” the clerk said as she handed over the freshly printed document.

“Thank you,” Damon said, as he grabbed the license before I could even think of taking it.

He turned to me with a massive grin as he folded the license up and tucked it away into his jacket. “Ready to go, my soon to be wife?” he teased, his rough palms sliding over mine.

What the f*ck is going on?

I replayed the moment at my sister’s engagement party when I’d blurted out that Damon and I were getting engaged over in my mind.

“No,” Damon said confidently to my sister’s friends as he pulled his wrist from my grasp.

My heart sank to the floor.

There was a moment of stillness before the three ladies erupted into laughter.

“I knew you were lying!” Veronica said triumphantly.

“Look at her face,” Leila taunted, gleefully, “How pathetic can you be?”

“Making up a fiance at your sister’s engagement party!” Melanie held a hand to her mouth, not even attempting to obscure her massive grin. “How despicable.”

Outrage in my chest burned at their insults, but in my heart somewhere, I agreed.

Nobody knew I was in a relationship with Ashton, except my families. But they were engaged, moreover, with the blessing of my parents.

But that didn’t mean I would knuckle under. My face heated up, as I opened my mouth to retort, a large arm wrapped around my shoulder and tugged me into a muscular chest.

I stiffened in shock, as I glanced up at Damon. He gazed at the three women coolly.
