A blue haze lit up the sky, and the hair stood up on my body as I plunged into her. The restless and unsettled thoughts in my mind about her were silenced immediately. My skin buzzed with electrified energy, and a loud boom split the atmosphere sending shockwaves propagating through the island.
With every thrust, my feelings increased until everything became clear.
“Keir,” she cried as her body trembled with the beginning of her orgasm.
“Come with me, darling.” I pushed in as deep as possible as my climax wracked my body, and the world disappeared around us.
ChapterFourteen
EVIE
Ismoothed the black silk dress over my hips and turned, looking in the mirror. Demi helped pull my hair into a sleek low bun, and I finished the look by applying some red lipstick. I wasn’t sure I was prepared to have dinner with strangers after everything that had transpired this afternoon.
Keir’s words from yesterday resonated in my mind.
Don’t mistake sexual energy for feelings.
I was confused about my emotions. I found him extremely attractive, and he made me feel things I never thought possible, but this was nothing more than a façade. I was just a means to an end. He himself said he never had a relationship without a contract. He never made love but just fucked.
He waited for me by the door. “You look stunning,” he said, taking my arm as we walked downstairs.
“Is there any news on Mangus or the knife?”
“No. However, don’t mention it to anyone. Mac thought it best if we kept it quiet. Please stay close to me tonight.”
I nodded as we joined the group. A server came over and handed us each a glass of white wine. Rhys pulled Keir to the side to talk, so I stood by the window, looking out. The rain had stopped and was replaced with a heavy mist. “You look beautiful,” a voice said behind me. I turned and gave Aidan a smile. “Are you all right?” he asked.
“I’m fine now.”
“You should never have been in that situation,” he said.
“It was an accident. Nothing more.”
“Regardless, he’s supposed to take care of you. I would take care of you.”
Keir came over to us, putting his hand on the small of my back. “You would what?” he asked Aidan, overhearing the tail end of our conversation.
“I said I would take care of her. Not put her in dangerous situations.”
“Watch it.” Keir’s hand clenched in a fist. “That’s my wife you’re talking about.”
The drone of the bagpipes filled the room as we were called to dinner, interrupting the altercation. “What the hell was that about?” Keir asked after everyone left the room.
“He was just being concerned.”
“Stay away from him.”
The table was set with a lavish display, only this time, I found myself at the opposite end from Keir in the hostess seat as I was now his wife. I had Sir Leonard to my right and Akshay Patel to my left. Neither seemed in the mood for conversation and instead focused on the meal before them. When we were finished, the men excused themselves for the last of their meetings, and the ladies retreated to the Great Hall for a game of cards. I wasn’t in the mood to listen to the women, so Brendan walked me to the bedroom.
I’d just finished changing when there was a knock at the door. Opening it, Brendan handed me a black envelope. Concern washed over me at the mysteriousness of it and the vicious events of the day. Still, I slid my finger under the top flap breaking the seal, and took out a notecard.
Meet me at the chapel- K.
It seemed odd that he wouldn’t come to get me himself. I opened the door. “Who gave you this?” I asked Brendan, holding up the card.
“Keir.”
“Oh.” I slipped my shoes on and grabbed my coat. “Do you know where the chapel is?”
