Pascha couldn’t hold himself back any more. He needed to kiss her. Properly. He crashed his lips onto hers, holding her so tightly, kissing her so thoroughly, being so thoroughly kissed in return that all the tightness inside him loosened.
‘Please, say you’ll marry me? Will you become Emily Plushenko?’
‘Of course I will...’ That familiar groove formed in her brow. ‘Emily Plushenko?’
He smiled sadly. ‘I kept thinking of the butterfly tattoo in the small of your back and what a personal memorial to your mother it was. It made me think. If I can’t restore Andrei’s legacy, then I can honour him personally. I’ve changed my name back to Andrei’s. I should never have turned away from it in the first place. But one thing I don’t want to change is you. I love you for who you are, exactly as you are.’
‘And I love you exactly as you are too.’
Suddenly it dawned on him, really dawned on him, that this passionate, crazy, loyal woman loved him. She loved him. She belonged to him just as he belonged to her. The only thing that bound them together was love.
And as he smothered her mouth in a kiss full of all the emotion pouring out of him, he knew their love would last a lifetime.
