Riley shouldn't be doing this. He was walking down the aisle in just a few hours. It was the alliance of a lifetime- Crows and Dragons, what a deadly combination.
And yet the whiskey burned in veins as he crushed Ilene beneath him against the wall. His head was buzzing, vision blurring. Almost enough that if he squinted just right, he could imagine blonde curls tucked behind the point of her ears.
"I thought you were supposed to be getting married, Mercar?"
The words were like a slap to the face as she sneered up at him. Viago and his fucking attack dogs, though this one barked much louder than she could bite.
Maker, he missed Gemma. Her smile, her soft touch, the way she could ground him when nothing else could. But she was gone, leaving him to face this cruel world without her at his side. Like the silver band in his breast pocket, the one Gladius gave him a lifetime ago. That wedding had been small, simple, full of love. Nothing like this sham he was forced to endure.
But if he had to go through with this shit, he might as well take what little comfort he could.
He grabbed Ilene's face roughly, her cheeks pinched easily between his thumb his finger as his other hand slid to angle her head back with an iron grip in her hair. She was tiny compared to his bulk, and her gasp only fueled his fury as he leaned close enough to inhaled her excitement tinged with fear.
"I am getting married, de Riva," he growled against her mouth as his lips ghosted hers. There was no softness in his eyes, just feral anger as her felt anticipation shiver across her skin like cold dread. "And you are supposed to be off limits. Guess we both have to play this one close, yeah?"
