*With Lottie’s hand gently placed in mine and my eyes glued to her delicate features as we descended the grand staircase to greet our guests, she was utterly breathtaking in a gown of silk that was almost as pale as her skin and icey hair.

“What is that?!” She roared, grabbing the footboard, her eyes glowering with the lust I felt swimming in my groin. “Will you stop whatever that is!” She growled at Kane, making him chuckle and nod at me.

“That was not me that time!” He laughed. Her face twisted into confusion as she looked at me; I watched with amusement as her eyes lowered to the mark that sat on my n*eck.

Instantly, I felt her relax and wondered how she hadn’t cottoned on.
