Her hand was suddenly wrapped in his. Aurelia Shaw froze for a moment, then turned back and smiled at Mason Nightshade. "What is it?"
Seeing her act like she always did, a nameless weight lifted off Mason's chest. He pulled her into his arms, rubbed her hair. "What are you thinking about?"
"About Jovana Shaw." Aurelia lowered her gaze, letting her long lashes hide the depths in her eyes.
Mason wasn't an ordinary man. The slightest abnormality would trigger his suspicion.

"I promised I'd give her a big gift."
"Perfect. I've prepared a big gift for her too."
Aurelia lifted her eyes to look at Mason, confusion in her gaze. Mason smiled, indulgent and doting. "I thought you couldn't be bothered to dirty your hands with this bunch, so I helped you prepare a little something. No idea if it'll come in handy, though."
