No, I don’t want to leave him until that happens.
I smooth my hands down the front of my dress and swipe on some lip gloss.
This is the dress I’m meant to wear when I meet my new husband.
Red like a siren and it should clash with my hair but it doesn’t. It deepens the color, gives me a layer of sophistication I don’t have.
I take a breath and look at the girl with the too-big eyes in the mirror.
No fear is there.
Just anticipation.
I don’t know where we are right now. The place feels like it’s lived lives, holds memories of another time, and it’s not fancy like the last one.
Nothing around me in the room is personal but it will be soon.
Because I intend to make a memory here, something to hold on to in the years to come.
With another breath, I make my way out into the living room where Cal’s scrolling through his phone.
“I’ll order in, what do you—”
“Cal?”
He stops and turns. His gaze sweeps over me, long, hungry, and burning.
I cross the room to meet him. Rising up on my toes, my lips curl upward for a second before I press them against his in a kiss that ignites the flickering sparks in my soul.

QUINN
Her mouth on mine is a fucking revelation. Soft, warm, and wickedly tempting.
Hellie left the room a pretty girl that knows how to set things off balance. She came back a siren in red that explodes my world into smithereens, and now…
I push her back. “What are you doing?”
There’s no apology in those glimmering caramel eyes that captivated me the moment I saw her. But there is a sliver of doubt hidden deep and fuck me if the doubt doesn’t undo me even further. Her tits brush against my chest, her sweet spiced scent makes my cock hard.
“What do you think, Cal?”
“That you’re playing with fire.”
“I’m not playing.”
“Do you know what will happen to me if I touch you?”
She sucks in a breath and backs away. “I’m sorry, Cal, I…”
The uncertainty in her voice makes my balls ache. Fuck, I want her. But this is bad…wrong. It could get me killed.
I don’t even know Hellie.
Except…I do.
She lifts her face to mine again, her eyes desperately reading me. “I think you’re too clever to get caught. And I think you want me as badly as I want you. It doesn’t make sense. I just met you. But I saw your eyes and…” She stops and steps back. “I’m sorry.”
