“You love me.” He met her gaze. “During one of our first talks, you told me what happened to your sister. I thought you’d hate me if you knew the truth.”
“Oh, Luke.” She stared at him in dismay. “There were acts of terrible evil committed on both sides of that horrible war. I could never blame you for what happened to Rachel. You told me about your childhood. I understand why you chose to fight for the North.”
He pulled her back into his arms, crushing her against his chest, his breath harsh and erratic in her ear. “Sarah. Sweetheart. I thought I was going to lose you.”
“Never,” she assured him. “You’ll never lose me.”
His big body trembled with the force of his emotion. “I love you, too. From the moment you arrived on my porch, I knew I was lost.”
She clung to him, all her fear washing away. “Then make love to me again. I want to start on that family.”
He pressed his lips to her forehead, and she felt him smile. “I love you, wife.”
