Persistent.
“Honestly?I don’t know what to think, Rand.I might be crazy,” she murmurs and laughs.
“I know.But you’re not.”
She laughs harder.
“Do you promise to be honest with me?”
“Always.”
She studies me.
“Okay, so if I say yes?”
A slow smile spreads across my face.
“Then our forever starts right now.”
Her heart is racing.
I can hear it.
Mine is too.
She leans forward until our foreheads touch.
“I think...”
She smiles softly and fuck, I want to taste it.
“...I'd like you to claim me, Rand Jameson.”
Joy explodes through my chest.
My Wolf howls loud enough to shake my ribs.
I laugh.
Actually laugh.
“I was hoping you'd say that.”
She reaches up, threading her fingers through my long hair.
“There's just one more thing.”
“Anything.”
She smiles.
“Will you kiss me first?”
I don't hesitate.
I gather her gently into my arms and press my lips to hers, pouring every promise I just made into one slow, reverent kiss.
She trembles in my arms, and I know I am so gone for this woman.
