Page 14 of His Virgin Wife

And with that, he took possession of her lips. Allnervousness left her.

Was she still a lame doormat? Probably, but rightnow, with those firm lips against hers, she could handle just about anything hehad to throw at her. She felt like flicking her leg right up, like they seemedto do in the movies. Yep, she was still lame, but now for other reasons.

Dom broke the kiss first, and then took her hand,and they started to walk outside. The sun was shining, which was why she hadpicked the white summer dress she found in the wardrobe, which she now sharedwith Dom.

Everything was changing sofast,she struggled to keep up.

They walked outside, and that was when she wassurprised to see a small decked area near the main garden, with a couple ofseats, a table, along with food.

“I wanted to take you to lunch, but seeing as mychef is the best in the city, I figured you wouldn’t mind eating outside.”

It looked so romantic and so perfect, right out ofher novels. Was Dom being romantic? She didn’t want to get her hopes up. Thiswas not a love match, but a sex match, perhaps, maybe. What kind of man gave amarriage ultimatum? It wasn’t exactly something she had heard of. Dom wanted tomarry her, and she was more than willing to do it, just so they could have sex.It sounded crazy and insane, and yet she was doing it.

“This is … incredible.”

“I’ve got several wedding dresses arriving thisafternoon,” Dom said, as he helped her into her chair.

“You have?”

“Yes, your mother will also be arriving, alongwith my soldiers as well as my staff. We’re getting married here.”

This was news to her.

“My mother?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“You know my mother?”

Dom was silent as he moved to sit opposite her. “Idon’t know her all that well, but we are acquainted.”

She nodded her head and then frowned. “Wait, howis this possible?”

“She knows who I am.”

She held her hand up and shook her head. “No, I’mnot talking about how she knows you. I’m talking about the fact that she knowsI am here with you and you kidnapped me.”

Dom smiled. There was something going on here, andshe knew she didn’t have the whole story, probably not even part of the story.Nothing seemed to make sense at this moment.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

Dom sighed. “You know your father hasn’t called merequesting any ransom or anything.”

She felt her cheeks heat. It wasn’t lost on herthat her father didn’t give a shit about her. “So? I’m guessing he knows whereI am and figures you will get bored.”

“He was going to sell you,” Dom said.

“What?”

“That is why I took you. Your mother knew what hewas doing. I don’t know how she knew, but she found out, and she didn’t likeit. She reached out to me and asked that I take care of her daughter. A fewyears ago, she helped me, and it was my turn to help her. She didn’t want herdaughter sold to anyone.”

This was all news to her. Her mother helping Dom.Her father wanting to sell her.

“How?” Emily asked.

“Your virginity.”

She couldn’t help but open her eyes wide. “Myvirginity?”
