Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Nyrissa's Answer

“So, this would just be a marriage of convenience?” Nyrissa asked quietly.

Ryan tilted his head towards her as if he heard the hint of sadness in her tone. Crap, she hadn’t meant for it to sound that way. Sadness was only one word for the way Nyrissa felt. She had expected to marry one day. But she had hoped it would be for love. Hoped she would eventually get around her ‘hard to arouse’ thing in order to have a normal happy relationship.
