Our wedding is coming up soon. It feels strange having a wedding for no reason. It’s just a show, and it feels wrong to marry for nothing. Besides, this is my first wedding since Ivan and I didn’t have one.

“Kyro, do we have to have this wedding? We are legally married, isn’t that enough?” The annoyance in my voice was hard to hide.

“No, this isn’t just a wedding. The entire brotherhood will be there, along with their families. Everyone must understand that you are my wife. These men are older than me and are incredibly old school. There will also be important associates of mine as well. Marriage means many things. As you know, it’s more of a business than anything.” He drags on but I tune him out when he says the word ‘associates.’

As I touch the wedding dress he chose for me, I feel a slap on my ass.

I yelp from the sting. “Are you ignoring me?” He growls.

I nod. “Yes. Why did you pick this dress?” I ask.

He shrugs. “It looked fine to me.”

“This dress is horrible,” I growl back.

He laughs. “It’s an expensive wedding dress from France.”

“Then I hope you kept a receipt because I’m not wearing this.” I walk back into my closet. “You know if you want me to be a puppet, then fine, but at least let me pick out my wedding dress.”

Kyro wraps his arms around me. “Fine, I’ll have you meet up with some designers tomorrow, my spoiled littlezhena.”

His hands wander the front of my body, as his head buries into my neck. “Kyro, why didn’t you come inside me?”

“Because I was fucking you, not making love to you.” He answers. “When I do, you’ll know. I might even make you cry.”

I roll my eyes. How many girls does he ‘make love to’? “You sound like you do this a lot,” I comment.

“I have only been in love once. When I left my home, I was living all alone. I needed company.” He confesses.

Learning that he had a serious ex left me completely surprised. “Why did you two break things off?”

“She broke up with me when she found out what I did. Then moved out of the state. She probably met some banker and got married with thirty kids or some shit.” So, he still doesn’t check in on her. He must still love her, though.

I want to push him a bit. “You sound jealous. Do you miss her?”

“Sometimes.” He answers honestly.

His answer bothers me a bit, surprisingly. My chest feels tight, so I move his arms from around me and walk over to the section of jewelry in the middle of my closet.

Kyro walks up beside me. “Does it bother you?”

“Why would it? I’m in love with my husband, myactualhusband.” Why did I say that? That was childish.

He smirks, and it confuses me. “You’re jealous, which means you feel something for me. Even if it’s not love, it’s something.”

“You’re just a new toy for me to play with. Just like the others.”

His smirk disappears when I say, ‘The others.’ “Need I remind you that if another person touches you, I will torture them until they die, and don’t think I’m above making you watch.” His icy demeanor is present. Those icy fingers rub my throat and again, I don’t feel fear, but excitement. How does he do that? How does he make me this raw, this possessive over a man who I don’t care for?

I couldn’t take Kyro’s antics and go downstairs. He follows me to the kitchen. “I’ll be back in a few hours.” He rasps. Those soft lips of his capture my own and I’m still not used to kissing him so casually, so it’s awkward when I pull away quickly. He kisses me again, but on top of my head. “If you need me, call me.”

I run after him. “I want to go. Whatever it is, I will go with you. Ihave toget used to this life.”

He tilts my head upward with his finger on my chin. “No, you don’t. Trust me. You won’t sleep at night.”

“You sleep just fine.” I scoff.

He snickers, “Because I’m a monster.”
