"I promised your brother I'll marry you as soon as you're at marrying age. Your brother can be quite persistent. He brought you here to be my wife."

Jasmine pulled the sheets over her chest and counted all the mistakes she made in her life. Out of all those mistakes, this has got to be the worst one. Not only did she not think this through, she also risked losing her job doing so. She couldn't help it. This mistake is also the sexiest and the most exciting she has ever entangled herself with.
