Immortal Skye (Vampire Mates)
Page 9
“I can.” He wrapped her shivering form in his seal pelt “If I give this to you, Julia, I can remain forever by your side, for as long as you choose to have me.”
“Rónán—”
“I love you, Julia Skye. I loved you two millennia ago, when we made love for the first time upon this sand. I’ve loved you every day since. Now, I am asking, my lady, do you love me enough to gift me your immortal heart, as I have already given you mine? If you do, I cannot leave your side, nor you mine. I hear your heart, Julia, it beats alongside my own. I cannot abandon the love whose heart beats for me alone.”
“I’ve loved you since the first time you pressed your lips to mine. I am immortally yours, Rónán.” Her shoulders sagged as she gave in to her heart’s desire. “Please don’t leave me.”
“I won’t,” he promised, drawing her in for a kiss, his lips confirming the promise he spoke. “I’ll stay by your side, mo ghràdh, for the rest of our immortality.”
