Betsy's cheeks were on fire once again, but Lukas had already pulled her into his arms, and her planned words of protest disappeared into the billionaire's kiss.
Oh my...goodness!
It was not a chaste kiss at all, with Lukas hungrily sucking on her tongue that by the time he lifted his head, she found herself clutching his shirt to keep her balance.
Lukas bent down and whispered in her ear, "If you're already like this with just a kiss...I wonder how you'll survive once I make you mine."
"I'll pass out." She didn't even realize she had whispered the words out loud until she saw his gaze gleam.
"Ne."
A sensual thrill rippled down her spine at hearing Lukas suddenly speak in his native language, but it was when he wrapped his arm around her waist as he turned to face their guests that Lukas spoke the words that had Betsy feeling like she was the luckiest woman alive.
"My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for being here. As much as Betsy and I would like to spend more time with you all, our son is currently waiting for us to take him home from daycare. Please enjoy the rest of the evening on our behalf. Thank you and good evening."
The import of Lukas' words was not lost on anyone, and the sound of cheers and heartfelt applause filled the air as the newlyweds walked past their guests.
Betsy caught sight of Charlotte waiting by the exit, and she unconsciously let go of her husband's hand as she rushed forward to her friend. "I never got to say sorry a while ago," Betsy choked out. "You've done so much for me, and I even signed a contract with you. I hate having to break my word—-"
"This is the ending I was really hoping for," Charlotte assured her warmly.
It was?
"And that's because I've insisted on paying the penalty fee for having the contract canceled," Betsy heard her husband drawl from behind, and as she turned to look at him in surprise, she missed the way Charlotte's eyes widened at the words.
"Not only that, but I've also given her permission to include us in her list of successful matches."
"And that's the ending I've always wanted," Charlotte hurried to explain. "Everyone knows Lukas is a confirmed bachelor, so having him as one of my satisfied clients is another coup for Heart's Match."
And so all's well that ends well, Betsy thought in relief. Her guilt over having to back out of the contract she signed had been the last torn in her side, and with that taken care of, Betsy couldn't remember feeling this free in ages.
Thank You, God, thank You, thank You!
She felt as if she was about to burst with happiness, and so as soon as they were in the backseat of his limo, Betsy could no longer control herself.
Lukas grunted in surprise when his wife suddenly launched herself into his lap and started raining kisses all over his face.
"Thank you, Lukas."
The stars were back in her eyes as she whispered the words to him, and it stirred inside of him a streak of possessiveness so primal that he knew he would never be the same again.
Mine.
My Betsy.
Now and forever...
She was the only woman he would ever need, and with Betsy unconsciously rubbing her breasts against his chest as she brushed her lips over his cheeks—-
Hunger burned inside of him, his body hardening with need as his desire for her overruled everything else.
Mine, he found himself thinking again.
My Betsy.
But this time his need to claim her was carnal.
All of her is mine.
And it was not to be denied.
Chapter Fifteen
BETSY COULD ONLY GASP when her husband suddenly grabbed hold of her waist, and one swift yank had her flat on her back.
Seeing the privacy window slide into place behind Lukas' chauffeur was her last warning of what was to come, and her lips parted in silent shock as her husband disappeared under the full skirts of her wedding gown.
A young mother she might already be, but she had only been with a man once, and it was a hurried encounter in the dark that had immediately bore fruit.
And so this, Betsy thought dizzily as her husband gripped her bare thighs and started nuzzling the lace-covered triangle between her legs.
This, oh, this...
It was all so stunningly and deliriously new to her, and a moan spilled past her lips as his warm breath teased her sensitive folds. She could feel herself getting wet, and the musky scent of her desire permeated the air.
She tried to pull away in embarrassment, but her husband only chuckled. She tried yet again, but her husband's response only grew more wicked, with his fingers grasping the band of her underwear, and a tearing sound jolting her as he ripped the drenched scrap of fabric off her trembling form.
