Born to Bite Bundle

by Hannah Howell

  Cain brushed her ear softly with the pad of his thumb and nuzzled a kiss across her forehead. He settled his arm about Ellie’s shoulders, then lifted his head to meet her mother’s gaze.

  “What do you say, Lady Munro? May I wed your daughter?”

  Ellie’s entire body tensed to the point of shattering as her mother took her precious time deciding her response.

  “You may court her,” Mama said at last, unable to keep a mischievous chuckle from her voice. “Whether she’ll wed you is up to her.”

  Cain smiled down at Ellie, his gaze shining with hope and vulnerability. “I love you, Elspeth Ramsay. I would like to spend the rest of infinity at your side. Will you be mine?”

  With love and joy overflowing her heart, Ellie returned his gaze with a saucy look. “Do you think me such easy prey as that?” she said with mock affront. “You may spend the rest of infinity trying to catch me, hunter.”

  “No,” he corrected softly, “it is you who have caught me.”

  She gazed up at him with a smile. “I love you, too.”

  This time when he reached for her, she melted blissfully into his arms.
