“They’re to wed in a month. We’ll be back in two weeks. I’ll talk to him then.”
Deveron untied the last tie and turned Alicia around and grinned. “It’s official now.”
And this time when they kissed, Deveron wasn’t stopping. Not that she wanted him to either.
Deveron pressed his mouth against Alicia’s, dragging her against his body, breathing in her sweet floral fragrance, listening to her rapid heartbeat, feeling her soft warm breath against his cheek when he finally let her up for air.
Her blue eyes were dark and sultry, her lips red and swollen from his kisses, and he paused to say what was in his heart before he took this any further.
“From the day you threw those ice cold sodas on my sun-warmed chest, I knew you’d be mine.”
She smiled, her eyes sparkling with the same impish delight that he’d grown to love. “From the day I saw you walk out of the water and cross the white sand beach to target Cassie, I knew you were the worst sort of danger.”
“And?” He began unfastening his tunic in a rush, not believing how difficult taking clothes off could be when he was in a hurry.
“You proved you were. The kind,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck, “that steals hearts…like mine.”
“Only yours,” he said, tearing off his tunic and tossing it to the floor. He lifted Alicia into his arms and carried her to the bed where the maids had cast pale pink rose petals all over the black sheets. “And for a lifetime.”
Which for the fae was forever.
