Sneak peek time!

It's been a while, but here's a sneak peek for ya! Unexpected Circumstances, chapter 4:

The sound of the rain on the roof was soothing, even hypnotic, but also just distracting enough to keep me from complete slumber. I lay quite still, not wanting to cause Edward any discomfort, and Edward and Sir Jasper must have assumed I had fallen asleep.

“So, how was your wedding night?” Jasper chuckled. “Did your virgin bride live up to your expectations?”

“That is hardly an appropriate conversation,” Edward answered curtly.

“Appropriate?” Jasper laughed out loud this time, though there was no humor in the sound, and Edward shushed him. I felt his fingers glide over the top of my head, through my hair. “Nothing about your little plan here is ‘appropriate,’ Edward.”

“It’s necessary. Appropriateness doesn’t matter.”

“You are avoiding the question.”

I heard Edward sigh, and his fingers continued to work through strands of my hair. I nearly held my breath, wondering what he would tell his cousin. Would he declare me inadequate, or perhaps not speak the truth? The conversation lulled a moment before he responded.
