“Am I really that intimidating?” Zev asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Kelly fought back a grin. “Well, back when we were in Solmaris, Darren actually cried because of you.”
Zev furrowed his brow, trying to recall the moment. “I don’t remember that…”
Of course, he wouldn’t. Aside from his wife, everything else seemed to slip his mind.
Kelly continued, “It happened when Isaac’s group ambushed Lucas’s team. Lucas’s people were trying to move us out, and then the other group charged in, aiming to steal our medical crew and supplies. You single–handedly took down seven of them, and you scared Darren so much he actually cried.”
Darren had witnessed one of the terrorists fall right before his eyes.
When the enemy aimed their gun at him, Darren thought his time had come. It was Zev who saved him, pulling him out of danger.
After that, Darren had done everything to earn Zev’s favor, always making sure to set aside the best antibiotics or special meds.
Kelly had almost wondered if Darren had developed a thing for Zev–if only she hadn’t known he was straight, with a girlfriend waiting for him back home.
“They all thought you were terrifying,” Kelly added. “They said you were cold and barely spoke.”
It was hard to imagine, thinking about the Zev she knew. He never stopped talking when they were together, like a stream flowing endlessly.
“They just don’t get me,” Zev said, shaking his head. “I’m Zev. My mom named me. It means ‘wolf‘ My grandfather didn’t think it was a good name, so he changed it.”
Thus, his name was Zion.
Wade had high expectations for Zev. All his hopes.
He hoped Zev could live in the kingdom of heaven.
Kelly felt a pang in her chest for him. She wanted to ask more, but she held back. She didn’t want to bring up old wounds, afraid they would only cause pain.
They sat together on the couch, Kelly resting her head on Zev’s strong shoulder.
She hadn’t felt this kind of trust in ages, not like this.
His shoulder was solid beneath her, a rock in a storm.
She was grateful for his strength, the very muscles that had helped him survive things that should’ve broken
anyone else.
“Zev,” Kelly murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “Do you ever think this is just some kind of dream?”

Zev had to admit, this all felt like a dream.

In Solmaris, Kelly had hated him—so much that she’d once threatened to stab him. Now, she was his wife. How had everything changed so quickly?
Life truly had a way of turning things upside down.
Suddenly, Zev narrowed his eyes, a sharp look that made Kelly’s senses spike.
She could feel the shift, her pulse quickening. “What’s on your mind?” she asked, her voice cautious, eyeing him carefully.
Zev leaned back, his tone turning more serious, “Remember Solmaris?” he asked, his gaze never leaving hers. “Lucas‘ people made me drink that horrible medicine, and I almost couldn’t breathe. You just watched me suffer without lifting a finger. You even had a knife ready. What were you planning, Kelly? Did you really want to kill me?”
Kelly didn’t flinch. She simply nodded, her face unreadable. “At the time, I thought if you went too far, we’d both be done for. I was ready to die if it meant taking you with me.”
Zev’s breath caught. “You were ruthless back then.”
A small, wry smile tugged at Kelly’s lips. “I wasn’t your wife back then.”
The corners of Zev’s mouth lifted in a sly grin. “Well, you are now … ” he said, shifting closer, his eyes dark with mischief.
For a moment, Kelly froze.
She instinctively tried to push him away, but her hand paused, uncertain.
Yeah, now she was his wife.
Her heart raced, an unsettling warmth spreading through her. She could never hurt that handsome face again.
Zev exhaled sharply, cursing himself quietly. He’d been careful before, always holding back. But now, with Kelly as his honey, the restraint didn’t feel as easy.
Slowly, he reached out, slipping his hand beneath her shirt.
The sensation of her skin was almost overwhelming. So soft.
He breathed in, his chest tightening as heat surged through him.
His thoughts scattered, a fire igniting inside him.
“Honey,” Zev murmured, his voice thick with something else. “My hands are numb… it might help if I touched you more. For recovery, you know?” His tone was a strange mix of playfulness and genuine need as his hand moved against her.
Kelly’s cheeks flushed, her embarrassment tangible. She shoved against him, but couldn’t quite push him
away.

But, as any woman knows, allowing a little can quickly turn into much more. Zev took it as permission, his boldness growing with every touch.
“Zev!” Kelly’s voice trembled, panic creeping into her words. “You’re going too far.”
Zev inhaled, his voice low and hoarse. “Honey, I’m just… uncomfortable.”
“Too bad. Go suffer elsewhere,” Kelly snapped, twisting to escape.
Zev grinned, a devilish smile tugging at his lips as he pulled her back to him, half–kneeling on the couch. “How about fulfilling a little marital duty?” he whispered, his voice teasing and rich with intent.
Kelly’s lips parted in protest, but before she could speak, Zev’s lips were on hers, silencing any further
words.
Elsewhere, Clarissa lay in her bed, a pleased smile spreading across her face.
“The egg retrieval went well today. Soon, I’ll be carrying a Lockhart child,” she murmured, her voice laced with satisfaction.
Beau nodded, his expression full of pride.
“Take it easy for a while. No work stress. Focus on carrying Zion’s heir. Once you have that child, the Lockharts will be ours–and everything they own.”
