KATHERINE'S POV.

I could admit now that Verona worries me. She's obviously not over Caspian and would do anything to get him back and that fact scares me. I wasn't afraid of her but right now I'm not one or two but I'm three. I look down at my slowly growing belly.

I knew what getting married to Caspian entailed and I was ready to deal with his family. Sort of. But I wasn't ready to deal with a clingy ex-wife. But what was the difference anyway. I know how every member of the Montgomery sees me. Now with Caspian's public display of affection. I could feel my face heat up at the remembrance.

I slapped my mouth a little. I literally marked Caspian in front of everyone and that brutal man had to make things worse by trying to get a reaction out of me. Caspian doesn't believe in love and I don't think he's the type of man who just changes his mind or his ice cold heart.

"You need to sleep." A voice ordered as a figured entered our room. It wasn't a surprise who just walked in. By virtue of that order, it wouldn't take a savant to know who it was.

"I'm in bed." I responded back. Albeit a childish answer but It's what I have.

"Not the same as sleeping, is it?" Must be come up with a clever reply.

As usual as soon as we came back from the party, I had gone to bed and Caspian had gone to his office. The man was addicted to his work. Even I don't bake that much and baking is not just my job but a favorites hobby.

"Verona." I started. I don't want to talk about her, I shouldn't talk about her but I have to. The look in her eyes, the hate, the envy. It worries me and as much as I'll love to dismiss the feeling, I just can't. "She's still in love with you."

The right word would have been that She is totally obsessed with him.

"She isn't." Caspian said in his neutral tone. I couldn't help but feel annoyed at his attitude.

" I don't want to deal with a crazy ex wife who would keep following you amd making my life miserable!" Oops.

"You are jealous." It wasn't a question but a statement. He settled beside me feeling up the space. He could make any space his really. He has a way of controlling a place or a situation making it is. I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest, rolling my eyes at him while I internally smacked myself on the mouth. I couldn't think before I talked or act whenever I was in front of him.

"I'm not."

"Is that why you marked me earlier today?" He raised his perfectly shaped brows in question.

My face reddens at the recollection of that and I tried to avoid his gaze, turning my head to the side and staring at the painting of a shadow that hung on the wall— I've never understood thay painting, it was all black but in different shade. One wouldn't understand if they didn't stare at it enough— finding it very interesting.

It seemed like he took that as confirmation to continue his torment.

"You might as well peed on me to mark your territory. I could—" before he could continue to spit out his words, I turned to him immediately covering his mouth with my palm.

"Stop! Please." I squeezed my eyes shut trying to end the torment and calm the heat on my face.

By the time I opened my eyes back his face was close to mine. He didn't take my palm from his mouth but he held my wrist tightly but not enough to hurt or leave any mark. I could just feel it. Feel. I've been doing that a awful lot lately with him and it scares me.

After what felt like forever when it was just a few seconds, he pulled by my wrist pulling my hand covering his mouth.

"You Tiny, are my wife. Not Verona, not any woman. Just you." I felt like I would have retorted after that nickname but I was too absorbed in whatever this moment is.

"And she wouldn't touch a hair on your head. I will always keep you and our kids safe. No matter what."

I could feel my own heart literally melting into the pit of my stomach. What the hell I'm I going to do with this? Caspian. What I'm I going to do with him? And at this moment right now and I highly doubt that I would change, I trusted him more than anything. I know he wasn't lying and I know that me means it. I can feel it.

" You should know." His index fingers left a trail on my jaw to my neck "you look breathtakingly beautiful when you are jealous."

This jerk wouldn't let this go, would he?

"I wasn't jea—" but before I could complete my sentence, his lips were covering mine. He took my lips into his mouth and kissed my deeply literally taking all the breath away from me.

Not that I'm complaining. Caspian's a great kisser, not that I've been kissed by a lot of guys except Alan and a nerdy star wars geeky guy in seventh grade; it didn't last two seconds but it's still my first kiss.

When we pulled apart, I slowly tried to regain my breath but our faces still very close to each other.

"Don't argue with me Katherine." He murmured against my lips.

"I wouldn't if you don't keep saying I was jealous" I answered back still trying to catch my breath.

"You don't have to be upset. I like you jealous."

"I—" I tried to rebut him again but the air was knocked out of me as he pulled me down into the bed with him amd pulled me into him his chest.

"Go to sleep Katherine. Our babies too need rest"

How the hell can I argue with that. Caspian always have a way to get what he wants and I couldn't help but drift into a peaceful dreamless sleep with a small smile on my face and my arms around Caspian.

Because of Katherine's closed eyes, she couldn't see the smile that laid on Caspian's lips.
