shouldn’t have said
anything.”
    Lily shook her head.
“No, it’s true what they were like. It just shocks me to see how
brutal they use to be.”
    Wayne closed the
distance between them, taking the stem out of her hand, and cupped
her chin. “You won’t have to worry about them anymore.”
    “You’re going to be my
white knight?”
    “I’ll be anything you
need.”
    The intimate atmosphere
could be cut with a knife. Lily smiled and instinctively kissed his
palm. “I need to sleep.”
    They’d both showered
earlier, and Lily wanted to do nothing more than collapse in the
large bed.
    “Go and sleep.” Lily
didn’t need to be told twice. She picked up her water and left
him.
    In no time at all, she
lay on the large bed surrounded by silk sheets. She wore an old
shirt she’d found in his wardrobe.
    What seemed like a
lifetime, she heard him enter, gather his clothing, and leave
again. Lily relaxed and sighed, until seconds later, he walked back
in and moved straight for the opposite side of the bed.
    “What are you doing?”
she asked, sitting up.
    “I need to sleep as
well.” Her eyes widened as he opened his dressing gown. Lily
slapped a hand over her eyes she tried to cover him from sight.
    “You’re naked.”
    “Lily, drop your
hand.”
    She shook her head.
Behind her hand, her eyes were closed, and they’d remain closed
until he either left the room or covered up.
    “Why are you
hiding?”
    “Would you please put
some clothes on?” she asked. Her body flushed.
    “No.”
    “Please.” Lily heard
some shuffling, and then his hand was removed her own from her
face. Refusing to give in, she kept her eyes closed she turned
away, scrambling on the sheets, and trying to move away.
    He caught her leg and
pulled her back to the edge of the bed. Lily fell, and he grabbed
her bringing her against his body. She gasped, shocked, and opened
her eyes looking down his body. Wayne stood in front of her
naked.
    “You’ve never seen a
naked man before?”
    Lily didn’t bother to
answer. She couldn’t tear her gaze away from him. Swallowed past
the lump in her mouth, she continued to plead with him some
more.
    “No.” Wayne was
firm.
    “A gentleman
would.”
    “I never said I was a
gentleman.”
    His fingers slid to the
hem of her shirt. “You can see me, and now I want to see you.” In
one movement, the shirt was up and over her head leaving her
exposed to his eyes. She covered her breasts, and he pulled the
hands down at her side.
    “You’re beautiful,
Lily. Never let anyone tell you differently.”
    Instead of touching or
doing anything, he took her hand and brought her to the bed.
Turning out the light, he pulled the silk sheets around them. His
arm curved round her waist, spooning.
    “See, no problem at
all,” he said.
    Lily slowly relaxed
against his hold and fell asleep. His throbbing erection pressed
between the cheeks of her ass.
    Strange, she was
comfortable sleeping with a man she barely knew, naked in the same
bed, but she wasn’t in a house surrounded by her family.
     
     

Chapter
Eight
     
    The following weeks
went by pretty much uneventful. Wayne and Lily searched for a house
together. All of the styles Wayne picked, Lily hated. While he
continued with his never-ending workload, Lily went shopping and
tried on wedding dress after wedding dress.
    She thought plenty of
other brides had a long array of bridesmaids. Stephanie refused
when she asked to be her bridesmaid, and so Lily would attend her
wedding with the planner as her maid of honour.
    In the meantime, they
filled their time like any other couple, eating meals in and out.
The celebrity world adored Wayne Brown, and Lily had been subjected
to an ambush of paparazzi wherever she went.
    Her attire always
seemed to make some gossip cover somewhere, and questions of
Wayne's past conquests was getting tiring. The amount of time she’d
heard how she wasn’t good enough started to take its toll.
    Wayne always insisted
they sleep
