“Cas-pian…”
And he looked back to see that she was biting her lower lip as though she greatly enjoyed that kiss. 
He smirked again and whispered in his deeply seductive voice, “I like my name even more ever since I started hearing it from your beautiful lips. And I like it even further when you say it in that hushed tone.”
Anastasia had no idea what Caspian was hinting at yet.
So he dropped some more hints, “Wife, weren’t you asking me what the first night meant? Let me show you.”

Conquering His Cold Heart

Hamilton smiled ear to ear at Caspian before inviting himself inside Caspian’s study and taking a seat on the sofa. 


“What is it?” Caspian asked with a voice that was laced with a usual hint of rudeness whenever he talked with Hamilton. 


Hamilton was already used to being treated with discourtesy. So, without giving any attention to the tone of Caspian’s voice, he got straight down to business. 


“I don’t know how much of what I said yesterday went inside your head. But as I said, the offer still stands. I will help you in any way I can. Do you have any task in mind for me?” 


Caspian’s irritation instantly vanished when he heard that. 


He thought for a while and then without any hesitation, he requested Hamilton, “You are more in touch with the outer world than any of us in this Kingdom. You were talking about technologies and discoveries. So, can you find out if there are any of those things that can help Anastasia?”
