Chapter 149. You're Now My Wife

RHEA'S POV

Relenting to Aleksander's request, I showered and dressed myself for dinner. He slipped into the bathroom too and washed himself while I focused on doing my makeup for the evening. It was nothing heavy since it was the two of us dining alone near to the shore. I didn't want it to melt on my face with the slight humidity in the air.

That didn't stop me from picking out one of my more revealing dresses. In fact, it encouraged it. The thin material of the forest green dress I slipped on clung to my frame like a second skin. With the hem right below my ass and a cut-out showing off the bottom swells of my breasts in the front. It seemed the right choice for the night. I wore nothing underneath.

As adorable as that darkly vicious man appeared this afternoon, I didn't believe it one ounce. Aleksander's act of innocence didn't fool me. He might have held me close and cuddled me through the night, but I knew my husband. And I knew he would fulfill his threat.
