Page 78 of The British Heartthrob's Discarded Mistress

“I love you. I promise to say it as many times as you want if you will have me as your husband.”

In answer, she gave him her hand, and Mary choked, finding it hard to breathe as she watched the duke slowly slide the ring on her finger.

“No longer your mistress,” she whispered.

“No longer my mistress,” he agreed rawly. Bending down to brush his lips against her ringed finger, he whispered, “From now on, you’re the woman I’m proud to have as my duchess.”

Harrods

“Oh, no. No, no, no.” She shook her head profusely, but the gleam in her husband’s eyes told her refusal was pointless.

Times like this, she almost wished she had her one-expression-duke back. The old Duke of Flanders would have rather been caught dead than suggest—-

Rathe took her hand. “Yes, we will.” Nodding at the woman staring at him in besotted fashion, he murmured, “Could you please show me where your sexiest lingerie is?”

“R-right away, Your Grace,” the store manager stammered, looking even more starry-eyed while beside the duke, Mary moaned in embarrassment.

“I do not see what the big deal is about. Husbands do this all the time for their wives, do they not?”

“Maybe they do, but not all husbands havethemfor company.” She jerked her head towards the camera crew in their trail. “No o-offense meant,” she mumbled quickly, just in case they did take offense.

“None taken,” was the cheerful reply from the three guys, all of whom were openly gay.

The store manager came back. “Your Grace? If you could follow me?”

Taking Rathe and Mary to a private area of the boutique, she waited until her VIP couple was seated before nodding to an attendant.

A girl stepped forward, presenting to them a lacy black garter slip. “This is one of our most popular items in the store,” the manager described. “As you can see, it has detachable parts in all the right places.” To demonstrate, the woman detached the fabric covering the crotch area.

Mary choked.

Beside her, Rathe nodded in his usual ducal fashion. “Impressive. Please give me five of those.”
