Love's Last Chance

"Chancellor Wellington III," she had heard the priest say. Chancellor. Chance? Mrs. Chancellor Wellington III. She marveled at the words. Her name now, too. It was the first time she had heard it. And she would be using it in the next few days to steal from him. That thought hit her with the full force of its implications, and the shadow that crossed her face echoed the turbulence she had begun to feel.

Before she knew what was happening, the ceremony was over and Chance was reaching inside her cloak to pull her warm body to his. Right in front of Edmund, he kissed her long and passionately, savoring her soft lips and the feel of her young body.

Marcee could not help herself. Her heart pounded a frantic beat in her ears. She thrilled at his touch. His new beard bristled softly on her own smooth cheeks. She felt an ache begin deep inside herself that she didn't understand, and she didn't care. She didn't even care that Edmund and the priest watched. She was both lost and safe at the same time in Chance's arms. Chance. Her husband. Her fingers his met at the curls on the nape of his neck and time stopped.
