Bride By Choice Chapter 4: A Dangerous Kiss

Chapter 4: A Dangerous Kiss

- Nikolai’s black town car, streets of London -

The city blurred past the windows as Vivian sat stiffly in the leather seat, her hands clenched in her lap.

Nikolai sat beside her, silent and unreadable.

His presence filled the car, making the air heavy, suffocating.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(hard) Where are we going?

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(flat) My solicitor.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

Then the registrar. Then… home.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(quiet) Just like that?

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(low) Just like that.

She turned her face to the window, trying to calm her racing heart.

But then his hand moved sliding over hers, firm and possessive.

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(sharp) Don’t.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(hard) Don’t what?

Vivian Reyes (FL)

(quiet) Don’t touch me like you own me.

He chuckled, low and dangerous, and leaned closer until his lips brushed her ear.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(low) I already do.

Before she could respond, his fingers tipped her chin toward him and his mouth claimed hers a kiss that was dark, demanding, and left her breathless.

When he finally pulled away, she was trembling, but he only smirked.

Nikolai Vetrova (ML)

(flat) That’s just a taste of what you agreed to, bride.

And in that moment, she realized: she had no idea what she’d just signed up for.

To be continued....
