Chapter Sixteen
“Now for rule number two; it’s the no touching rule. I can understand if, at public events, we need to
hold hands and seem like an actual couple. But we must always find a way to limit any skinship and
such things as kissing and the above arepletely forbidden in this marriage,” Amber dered, her
tone clear and strict.
She had expected him to agree with her immediately, but instead, he smiled, and she immediately
knew that he was about to say something she would not agree with.
“I agree with the no–touching rule, and I can assure you that I do not intend to do anything with
you. But you need to realize that there are going to be a few exceptions. An example is on our
wedding day, when we’ll be asked to share a kiss. Now, I know I could fake it one way or another, but I
don’t intend to do that. If I’m going to act like I’mpletely head over heels in love with you
in public, we’re going to have to share a kiss,” he stated boldly, causing Amber’s eyes to grow two
times wider.
“Did you not think your words through before letting them out of your mouth? I’m pretty sure that if
you did, you’d realize just how much you sound like a pervert,” she hissed, her irritation bubbling.
“Why? Is it because I said we were going to have to share a kiss on our wedding day?” he retorted.
“Exactly, Richard! There’s no reason for us to go that far, especially when we can avoid it,” Amber
fired back.
Richard rolled his eyes. “What happened to the conversation you and I had on our way here? I asked
you how far you’re willing to go, and you responded and assured me that there’s no limit to how far
you’re willing to go. What changed in less than an hour?” he asked.
“Nothing changed! But can you exin to me how sharing a kiss is a part of our revenge?” she asked,
genuinely curious to know what was going through his head.
“Well, for starters, a genuine kiss and a fake kiss cannot bepared, and if we’re going to fool
Kayden, we need to be engrossed in our roles as husband and wife. Meaning that he has to see a
video of us sucking each other’s tongue off like two crazily in love individuals,” Richard responded,
wondering how she didn’t see the bigger picture.
“I mean, how are we going to when all we do is hold hands a

“Not every couple in love goes around sticking their tongues in each other’s throats, Richard. We can
still look in love without doing anything intimate,” Amber responded, refusing to believe that being
affectionate and intimate with Richard was the only way to prove to the public that she was in love
with him.
“Sweetie, are you slow? Do you not get anything I just said?” Richard retorted.
“I should be the one asking that question, silly. Have you ever been in love? How can you not know
that there are other ways to appear in love besides being unnecessarily intimate? You’re making
yourself out as a pervert, just in case you don’t realize it,” she hissed.
Richard sighed. “I have never met a woman as physically draining as you, Miss Amber Grey. I mean,
we’re not even married yet, and I’m already feeling drained.”
“That’s what you get for letting your perverted thoughts cloud your logical thinking. Now, on to the next
rule. At no point should you interfere in my personal life, just like I’m not going to interfere
with yours.” Amber stated.
“And what is your definition of personal life? Is it what I think it is?”
“What do you think it is?” Amber responded with a frown, wondering what perverted thoughts Richar
had in his head again.
“If what you mean by personal life involves having sexual rtionships with other men or women
outside our marriage, well, I’m afraid I’ll have to disagree with that,” he answered.
Even though what he had in mind wasn’t what Amber had in mind, she was still curious to know why i
would be a problem if she decided to have a sexual rtionship with another man during their
marriage.
“And may I ask what the crime is? Why can’t we both find sexual satisfaction during our marriage?”
she asked.
“Well, for starters, I’m not against itpletely. But at least for the first six months of our
marriage, I’d prefer you don’t do anything rash that could create a scandal. I, on my end, can assure
you that I have no intention of engaging with women while we’re married, so if that is what
life is to you, I’m going to have to ask that this rule be tweaked a bit,” he responded.

Amber shook her head, her curiosity surfacing again. “Again, I ask Richard, are you a virgin?”
Richard threw her an unimpressed re. “Again with that, Amber? Can’t you just ept the fact that I

m just disciplined and able to control myself?” he replied, wondering why she was so insistent with her
ridiculous question.
“Well, I’m sorry, but you’re giving me the impression that you’ve never been with a woman before, and I
can’t help but ask to be sure. You and I are likely going to be married for about a year, or maybe longer,
and here you are saying you won’t sleep with anyone for that duration. How else do you expect me to
interpret the situation?”
“Well, there is a way for me to prove to you that I’m not. Would you like to find out?” Richard
replied, grabbing Amber’s hand out of the blue and pulling her up until she hit his chest and was now
barely inches away from his face.
Amber’s entire being froze on the spot as her eyes locked with his, while she was fully aware that he
was staring at her lips.
“W…what do you think you’re doing, Richard?” she stuttered nervously, dying to pull herself away from
him, but she found herself unable to live, despite the fact that he wasn’t even trying to hold her in
ce.
“I mean, since you’re so sure I’ve never been with a woman, I thought that maybe I would have to
convince you the only way a man should,” Richard responded, a sly smile ying on his lips as he
felt Amber quivering under his touch.
“Y…you win, Richard. You win. You’re clearly an experienced man who has been with hundreds of

N…now, can you let me go?” she requested, her tone almost pleading.
“If you want to leave, you’re free to, Amber. I’m not stopping you,” Richard responded with a light.

dying to.
When Richard noticed that she had frozen up, he let out a soft chuckle before letting go of her hand
and removing his other hand from her waist, but not before teasing her one more time.
“You’re cute,” he muttered with a wink, and Amber could not help but wonder how she wasn’t dead wit
