My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

Run

 She was prepared for a painful blow but instead, she felt him grab her chin roughly and pull her face upwards. He crushed her lips in a kiss then, forcing her mouth open. She tasted the alcohol they'd consumed and felt the now nearly burning heat of his skin on hers.

 She fought to get away from him, putting her hands against his chest, she shoved but he wrapped his other arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

 Delaney felt the heat wash over her and her mind swirled from the alcohol and his kiss as he invaded her mouth, tasting what was to be found there.

 At last, she balled her fists and hit him in his chest. She must have struck a target because his mouth was suddenly ripped from hers.

   Vincent pressed his hand to his quickly rising and falling chest, teeth clenched. His almost black eyes were wide with fury as he glared down at her.
