"The meeting is delayed for another couple of hours," James said with a grin. "It gives you time to officiate this." He then turned to Lily and kissed her cheek. "You really are a remarkable woman. I look forward to seeing you back on campus." He then nodded to me and headed back into the building.
"Lily, I told you I wanted to do this properly. Win your trust," I said, trying to hand the envelope back to her. "I don’t ever want you to feel like you are under anyone's control ever again."
"I know," she said with a smile. "I heard what you said to Alec, down in the cell, before you…" she trailed off and something dark crossed her eyes. Then she smiled again. "You said that I belong to me. No one had ever said something like that." Then she grinned mischievously.
"This isn't back to what it was before," she said pointing to the envelope. "We can take it slow, and you will get your date that you ask for. But I made some important changes myself." I narrowed my eyes again. She looked like she was having too much fun here.
"Oh, bloody hell, just open the damn thing," Davis scoffed and Lily laughed. I shook my head at him and pulled open the tab on the envelope and pulled out the papers inside. The first thing I saw was the Agency logo and then I stopped at the next line on the contract. My eyes widened as I took in what it said.
Special contract for Sebastian Lynch and Lily Appleby.
Husband for Hire.
