In actuality, he’s not too far from the truth. I didn’t pay the Harrington’s themselves, but their debt was the reason Tilly was on that auction block. However, I don’t tell my dad any of that information.

My heart fills, and practically bursts at his words. I don’t know how I ended up with a man quite like him, a good man. The circumstances of the way we met should have thrust me into the arms of a monster, but instead, I’m in the arms of a saint. Granted, he’s a dirty, filthy, naughty saint, but a saint nonetheless.

The other men in the room politely clap as I stand to my feet. Like this is some dignified auction, it makes me feel slimy, the fact that they’re all pretending this isn’t something sordid and dirty—which it fucking is.
