Nikolai wanted the same thing. With an arm around her waist, he bent his head and whispered something soft in her ear.
“Have I told you lately that I love you?” Shelby asked, her eyes smiling into his as her hands came up to Nikolai’s chest.
“Yes, you have, but I’ll hear it again.”
Shelby smiled. He never tired of hearing it, and she never tired of saying it. Shelby said it, just as a smile lit her face, her mind remembering that only recently her mother had admitted that she had speculated about Shelby’s future on the very day she’d come to Christ. She would have to be certain to tell Nikolai.
“What does that smile mean?” Nikolai asked, not able to miss it.
“Only that I like being the princess.”
“I’m glad to hear you still want the job,” Nikolai said as he took her hand and they made their way from the room. “No one else would make it half as fun to be the prince.”
