Chapter 48: I’m All Yours
"You...!" Damien seemed ready to throw his hands up.
"Stop arguing, you are going with her. That’s it." Valerius finally spoke and the look that he gave his brother made Damien close his mouth even before any word of resistance could have left his lips. He just let out a huff in annoyance and disappeared inside the castle.
"We will be leaving within half an hour," Annalise shouted to let him know, and though there came no reply from the lord, she knew that he had heard her pretty clearly.
A smile played on her lips as she thought about torturing the man during her shopping trip to the capital market. She knew pretty well that out of all three lords, Damien hated to be in the public most.
Her attention was pulled towards Valerius when the man came to stand next to her, a place where Kenric was standing a couple of seconds ago but the man was no longer to be seen anywhere.
The way Valerius looked at her told Annalise that he was pretty aware of her naughty thoughts. What she couldn’t comprehend was whether he was angry or not? His expression didn’t give away his inner thoughts at all.
"I... I’m sorry..." She finally let the apology slip through her lips as she bowed her head in shame that suddenly started settling over her. The realization of how indecent she behaved in front of her husbands finally started hitting home.
She felt her husband closing the remaining space between them before he raised her chin to make her look up at his face. "Why say sorry? I’m actually happy and I can tell the others are too." His voice carried the same warmth that he held in his beautiful eyes.
"Really?" She asked in surprise, not quite believing his words as she couldn’t imagine Damien agreeing with his statement.
