“Will you tell her?” Thayne asked his bride.
Rhianna turned her eyes to him again, this time without distraction. Thayne’s stubble of black beard arrested her and she wondered how she ever looked aside previously.
“When she is older,” she mused. “I can’t tell you how awful it is, hearing her call me ‘Miss Braden.’”
“Mmm,” he considered, examining her from all angles. “No, that won’t do, will it, Miss Rhianna Kingsley?”
Rhianna laughed at the sound of her birth name, but Thayne shook his head.
“No, that won’t do, either.”
“Won’t it?” she replied.
“No, indeed, I rather think Lady Rhianna Brighton suits you better.”
He smiled at the sound of it, and she returned the gesture.
“I am beginning to wonder at my habit of changing names so frequently,” she quipped.
“Well, then,” he told her, leaning in for the kiss his lips demanded, “let us make this the last time.”
