Having lost the man she loved to the cold clutches of suicide, Amara's impulsive decision to join him leads her to accept the marriage proposal of a mysterious stranger she shares a drink with at a bar.

Xelan's weddings were an awful affair, with each bride always dying once midnight arrived. Amara was meant to be no different until her bright brown eyes stared back at him on the morning after with a new tattoo of the moon over her heart.

Thus begun the story of the grieving lover and the black widower, on the morning their marriage began.

He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?"

#99 Romance [20/12/2016] An independent woman proposes an open marriage to her deceased brother's best friend to help pay his company's debt with the money her brother left her in his will as a 'wedding gift'. * * * * * * * * "Let me help you, Owen." Alice swivelled on the desktop to be sitting facing him directly. "We can get married right now, get the money and file for divorce the next second." She was nearly leaving him no choice. But then again, his concern wasn't fully about the money. "And... and what about us?", he inquired in a low voice. "What about us?", Alice told him innocently. He grabbed the forearm she rested her weight on the table and shocked her by pulling her down onto his lap. Their face came inches apart. Her bosom touched his chest. Her hands instinctively set on his hard chest. A gasp escaped her mouth at the surprisingly electrifying contact of their bodies. He felt that too. For a second, his eyes wandered to her lips. Then he shocked her with his next words. "If I marry you, I can't divorce you."
