His words were like little stones landing against her sides. "Oh?"
He angled his head thoughtfully. "We're giving our son a family. You're gaining true financial security. I'm gaining a wife on my arm and in my bed." He shrugged. "It's a perfect marriage of convenience."

A frisson of warning danced down her spine. The clinical assessment should have been reassuring. After all, boundaries were good, delineations were helpful.
But there was danger everywhere. Danger in the way he spoke so casually of a loveless marriage, when she had already seen how easy it was to fall in love with him.

But this was different.
She knew who he was now, and what he was capable of. The stars had fallen from her eyes, and she saw it all clearly.
She wouldn't love him again. And she'd never trust him with her heart; not for a billion pounds.
