Married for One Reason Only
Page 18
Since she’d woken from her faint, secure but so frightened in his arms, the only thought in her pounding head was that this couldn’t be real.
Nikos was dead.
Dead.
She’d mourned and cried herself to sleep every night for eighteen months. She’d woken every morning with a throbbing ache in her heart that time hadn’t even begun to heal. She’d carried his child, given birth to his child, loved and raised his child without him.
And all the time he’d been alive.
Alive and so incredibly vital.
That really was Nikos in front of her, a wary expression on the face that had lived as nothing but a memory for an agony of time.
The emotions that flooded her were too hot and overwhelming to be contained a moment longer and they overflowed with a howl she had no control over as she leapt at him.
