Chapter 31

  Vivian’s heart is racing, not from running in a drunken state but from the anticipation of what is to come next. One hand intertwined with Remy’s and holding her gown with the other, she half runs and is half dragged through the field at the backside of his cottage.

  “Remy stop! Where are we going?”

  “Shhh..Don’t shout too loud.” Remy says, his voice strained with exhaustion.

  Wolf or not, they have been dancing crazily in the party only stopping to have drinks. Now she feels unsteady on her feet, tripping and losing balance only to be saved by Remy’s assuring hands. When they finally reach the boundary Remy stops and holds Vivian gently who is breathless and exhausted. Vivi’s gold locks have gone wild in the frenzy and all she wants at the moment is to take the dress off and cool herself down. When Remy looks at her chest puffing with exertion, she is sure that Remy wants the same thing but for other reasons.
