Falling For My Husband

~blurb~

I, Zia Walker, take you, Xavier Luciano, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will honor you all the days of my life.

And above all, I vow not to fall for you.

Trapped with the responsibility to my family, fate forced me to marry Xavier Luciano. He was the perfect solution to my problems, but there was only one condition he asked before promising me his ‘I do.’

“Don’t fall for me,” was his unbreakable rule. I laughed at him that day, thinking how easy it is to follow his stupid rule. I’m in love with my ex-fiance, his younger brother Calvin, so what could possibly go wrong?

I agreed without hesitation, seeing him as the ticket out of my life’s predicament. Like a raging wave, the realization of my vow’s weight crashed on me. How can I fulfill my promise, when even in the darkness and danger that surrounds him, I’m hauled like a moth to a flame?

How can I fight the slow burn of falling for my husband? The man I swore to cherish and adore, until death do us part, and the one my heart chose to love.

“I hate you! I fucking hate you...” I wiggled my way off of his lap, but his hands on my hips kept me in place.

“You should,” his response stunned me, rendering me speechless. I stared into his eyes, basked in the soft glow inside the car, noticing nothing but bitter truth in them.

“Fuck you!”

“Keep saying that, and I might just fuck you, right here, right now.”

His shameless words made me gape. “Let me go!”

“You want me that much, right? You felt jealous seeing me with Brianna.” I felt the flush in my cheeks draining as he continued chuckling. “You wished for me to see you dancing with that lowlife, hoping I’d save you and tell you she meant nothing to me. I’m not that guy, Zia. I told you not to fall for me. It’ll only ruin you. You’ll only hurt yourself because I am not the good guy here.”
