She snickered and linked her arms behind his back. “So tiresome,” she drawled in a bored voice. “I suspect they’re just peeved you forgot to bring your sword today, you being the hero-of-the-town and all that.”
His lips quirked up. “That’s the Black Ace, I’ll have you know.”
She lifted herself up on her toes to whisper, “Not anymore.”
“Not anymore,” he agreed, meeting her halfway.
“I love you, Jack.”
His heart was full. “I love you, Tavie. Forever and always,” he whispered, just before their lips met.
Forever and always.
About the Author
Caroline Lee has been reading romance for so long that her fourth-grade teacher used to make her cover her books with paper jackets. But it wasn't until she (mostly) grew up that she realized she could write it too. So she did.
Caroline is living her own little Happily Ever After in NC with her husband, sons, and brand-new daughter, Princess Wiggles. And while she doesn't so much "suffer" from Pittakionophobia as think that all you people who enjoy touching Band-Aids and stickers are the real weirdos, she does adore rodents, and never met a wine she didn't like. Caroline was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2006 (just like everyone else) and is really quite funny in person. Promise.
