As much as I loved seeing my name on her back, I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable. So, I helped her pull the shirt back on.

“How are your palms?” I reached for her hand, flipping it over. Tracing my thumb along side the cut.

“I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to look at your brothers again.”

I frowned, “Why?”

“Did you forget about last night? Where they all saw me naked while you fucked me?”

“Witnessing you becoming a crow is considered an honor in our family.” I brushed her hair back. Red cheeks really did suit her. “They won’t treat you differently.”

Just the thought of her last night had my dick going hard.

“It doesn’t bother you that all of them saw us? Every person with the last name Crow watched us?”

Technically, every male born crow, and their wife or husband.

“No. I can bet every couple in that hall was reliving the night they had taken the vow.” Tracing my thumb along her bottom lip, “Because that is what I’ll be doing when we attend the next one.”

“You really enjoyed it, didn’t you?” she frowned, her lips slightly parted as if surprised.

I didn’t enjoy it.

“I fucking loved it. Claiming you was mine. Making you a crow.” My blood ran hot just thinking about it.

I wanted to consume her. The way she fucking consumed me for years. But for that to happen. I had to get her to look at me again.

“I’ll earn your forgiveness, and once I have it. I’ll never risk losing it.” Taking her hand, I kissed her knuckles. “Last night, you said you didn’t want to stay. I’ll make sure we’re gone by tonight. And I’ll give you your own room at our house.”

“You’d really do that?”

She could ask anything of me, and I’d somehow find a way to make it happen. I nodded. “I never want to see you that upset again, so. We’ll leave.”

“Isn’t that breaking an oath? You won’t get in trouble for it?”

I shrugged. “It should be fine.” Considering this oath was more meant to be for my benefit, I doubted I’d be held accountable.

Seeing that small smile on her face made the decision worth it.

“One more thing. You are not to touch yourself. Your pussy and clit, goes untouched.” My wife looks so good with flushed cheeks. “You’re mine. And you don’t have permission to touch. Understood?”

She nodded.

I kissed her forehead. “Let’s take you home.”

CHAPTER 36

Vince

It had been over a month since the wedding. Slowly, her personality was coming back. Some of the worse abuse is often not seen. She wouldn’t tell me what had happened. Though it was clear someone had fucked with my wife’s beautiful mind. Breaking her.

“Okay, I’m ready.” She rushed down the stairs, holding her heels. “Sorry, I got distracted.”

Fuck. How the hell was I going to keep my hands off her? Gently, I grabbed her hand, stopping her from rushing out the door.

“Vince, what are you doing? Aren’t we already late?”

Lowering to my knee in front of her, taking the heels from her hand.
