    Later, Lily gave up resisting altogether. Forget it, she thought bitterly. If he wants to kiss, then let him.

    The moment James had entered the fitting room, the bridal shop staff had already begun making their own assumptions. Today was destined to be embarrassing anyway–what did a few more humiliations matter?

    With that thought, she stopped trying to keep her distance. Rising on tiptoe, she let him taste her lips as much as he wanted.

    As always, he didn’t stop until she was nearly breathless, breaking away only when both of them were panting.

    The kiss had been far too long, far too heated. Lily’s face was flushed, her heart pounding wildly.

    It took her a while to steady her breathing before she whispered, “I… I need to change dresses. You should step out.”

    “I’ll help you with the zipper.”

    No!

    Changing out of such a heavy gown was easier with help, true. If it were one of the shop assistants, she wouldn’t mind.

    But James? She knew his nature far too well. She’d be walking straight into the tiger’s jaws.

    Before she could even voice her refusal, his hand had already pulled the zipper down her back.

    The gown slid to the floor, pooling across the cashmere carpet in a sea of pure white.

    The bright lights illuminated the sight before him. For a moment, James felt as though sunlight had fallen across untouched snow, dazzling and wless, radiant in its beauty.

    At first, his only thought had been to help her change, to keep himself from losing control and upsetting his little kitten.

    But he had overestimated his self–control. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already stepped forward, hands roaming over that blinding whiteness, utterly undone.

    “James, you…”

    Lily wanted to bite him in frustration.

    So she did–sinking her teeth lightly into his shoulder.

    She thought it would make him stop. But the second her lips pressed to his skin, his throat tightened, his hands grew even bolder,pletely losing their

    By the time they finally stepped out of the fitting room, Lily was mortified.

    She was barely more than a month pregnant. They couldn’t go too far, of course. But they had been inside for nearly half an hour–who knew what the staff might be thinking?

    When the makeup artist touched up her face and teased that her lips were so beautifully red she didn’t even need lipstick, Lily’s ears burned with shame.

    Her lips were swollen from his endless kisses–of course they were red.

    She had never been this humiliated in her life.

    And when the artist covered the marks on her neck with foundation, smiling and joking about how sweet her rtionship with James must be, she wanted nothing more than to crawl into a hole and disappear.

    Out of concern for her, James only agreed to the indoor photos for that day.

    After leaving the bridal shop, he went to meet nc in his study at the Luke estate, while Lily went to the princess room Nancy had prepared for her.

    Madam Luke insisted the two of them stay the night at the estate. They were in the middle of their honeymoon phase–if she refused to sleep beside him, James would surely make a scene.

    Since she had moved her things into the princess room earlier, she went to fetch a change of clothes to bring to his room.

    Servants cleaned daily, but she rarely locked the door when she went out. The Luke family respected privacy, and even though most of the items in her room had been prepared by Nancy, no one would dare touch them.

    Returning, Lily set her bag on the sofa and headed toward the walk–in closet.

    Her jewelry room was right next door.

    As she neared it, she heard a nois

    Puzzled, she pushed open the door.

    She never expected to see Marilyn in her jewelry room.

    The space Nancy had designed wasrge. In the center stood a transparent ss cab filled with priceless gems. The walls were lined with elegant disys for handbags.

    Nancy loved collecting bags. Every time she bought one, she bought a matching one for Lily. Add to that the luxury bags James had gifted her, and every shelf was overflowing with designer purses.

    It looked as though Marilyn had rummaged through everything until she found the keys to the jewelry cab.

    Now she stood adorned with Lily’s treasures–bracelets, earrings, nes glittering against her skin.

    And even that wasn’t enough for her.

    Clutching several limited–edition bags in her left hand, Marilyn grabbed fistfuls of jewelry from the cab with her right, stuffing them greedily into the purses.
