My eyes trailed over the blood splatters all over Lorcanโs wifebeater and arms. There was even blood on his forehead and on his eyelids. He had the Devaney clan tattoo on his right bicep, a five-leaf clover. Every man in this warehouse displayed the same tattoo.
I fought my revulsion. Uncle Gulliverโs gaze was practically X-raying me.
โAislinn, silence doesnโt suit you,โ Lorcan drawled, flashing his white teeth at me. No blood on them, though I wouldnโt have been surprised if Lorcan later feasted on his victim.
โI say yes โฆ to your proposal.โ The last word left a bitter taste on my tongue and it felt as if Iโd just signed away my life. Marriage hadnโt been part of my plan for the next couple of years, even before Patrick cheated. Iโd always known Patrick was too immature for such a bond, and I was never in love enough with him to see myself at his side indefinitely, but this was something Iโd only realized after his confession. Lorcan was far from immature, but a marriage to him would challenge me in ways I didnโt even want to consider at this point.
Lorcanโs answering smile was triumphant and possessive, and when his eyes dragged over my body, lingering on my thighs as if he could still see them spread apart like last night, a wave of heat rushed through me.
โThat calls for a toast,โ Lorcan said, then louder. โWeโve got a reason to celebrate. Aislinn Killeen agreed to become my wife.โ
Howls and clapping echoed through the warehouse, sending a new chill through my body. Seamus came over with a bottle of Tealing Irish whiskey, and a stack of shot glasses. He handed one to me then to Lorcan and the men gathering around us. None of them seemed bothered by the fact that we celebrated our engagement not long after Lorcan viciously beat someone to death. This was business as usual for them.
