“There’s more, Lara… I haven’t reached the part that includes you,” Marc said.

Startled and curious, Lara stared at him.

“I’ve only told you part of my grandfather’s demands. There’s another part. I’m to marry this month and stay married for one year.”

He reached across the table to take her hand, which was an action so unlike him that she nearly gasped. For a few seconds, she couldn’t speak. She could only continue staring at him.

“Don’t say anything until I’m through. You’re surprised, just as I was when my grandfather told me.”

While she heard his words, she was still focused on his hand wrapped around hers. It was warm, his grip light, yet the instant they touched, she tingled from head to toe.

Somehow, the touch of his hand had changed their relationship. She was certainly more aware of him as a man. And that awareness made it impossible to find words for a response.

He continued, “I want to see if I can make a deal with you…and make you my wife.”
