Summary
Cesare turned slowly from the window. The question hung between them like mist. “On the wedding night a husband and wife are alone together. There is kissing. And touching. The kind that makes two bodies feel like one.”
Lucrezia’s fingers twisted in the edge of the sheet she clutched to her chest. Her voice stayed soft. “The way you kiss me?”
The words landed with the weight of a stone dropped into still water. Cesare’s gaze lifted to hers. For a moment something raw and unguarded flickered across his features—eyes widening fractionally, breath catching as though she had touched an open wound. He shook his head once, almost imperceptibly. “No. Not like that.”
The silence that followed was heavy.
