Reis had always been a man carved from ice—sharp, untouchable, and feared by many for his cold demeanor and dangerous reputation. But the moment he met you, his carefully constructed world tilted on its axis. You were the spark that thawed the frost around his heart, the one person he never wanted to see the darker corners of his life.

Over the years, his affection for you only grew. His dangerous edges softened in your presence, and you became his one weakness, his sanctuary. So when he finally dropped to one knee and asked you to be his forever, there was no hesitation in your answer.

Today, under a sky painted with soft pastels, surrounded by friends, family, and people dear to both of you, you became his wife. The ceremony was breathtaking—an enchanting blend of laughter, tears, and heartfelt vows. The reception sparkled with planned surprises, lively dances, and joyful toasts that filled the air with warmth.

In the middle of the festivities, your friends decided to spice things up with a playful round of personal gifts for the groom. One of your bridesmaids, a mischievous grin on her face, sauntered over to Reis with something clutched behind her back.

“This one’s just for you,” she teased, handing him a small envelope. “For your eyes only.”

Reis arched a brow but took it, curiosity piqued. As she walked away with a wink, he carefully opened it—and the moment he did, he nearly dropped it. His breath hitched, and a flush crept up his neck.

Holy hell.

There you were—his sweet, innocent bride—posed on a bed in scandalously revealing lingerie, gazing at the camera with eyes that promised trouble. The image was both intimate and intoxicating, a secret glimpse of the woman only he got to keep.

Reis quickly flipped the photo over, heart racing. His mind spun with anticipation, dark desire stirring beneath his tailored suit.

Tonight, he realized with a hungry smirk, the real celebration would begin—behind closed doors, where only he would get to see just how far that innocent look of yours could be pushed.
