‘So what have you worked out, Monsieur General?’
He gave her the lazy smile of a man who had everything he wanted in life. ‘My brother loves running Wolfe Inc far more than I ever did, and I only ever travelled to stop myself from having to think about my life. I don’t want to do that any more. And you’ll need someone by your side. Just as your father wants.’
Ava finally allowed the smile she’d been holding back to beam up at him, so happy she felt as if her heart was aching with joy. She tightened her arms around his neck. ‘You know, in my wildest dreams I imagined love could be just like this.’
Wolfe shook his head. ‘My wildest dreams never even gave me a glimpse of this level of happiness. You did that, Ava. You filled a gap in my heart I never even knew existed, and I want you to know that I will be yours for ever.’
Ava gave him a watery smile. She caught the serious undertone to his words and knew that she could trust this man not only with her life but with her heart. Knew that now he had opened himself fully to her he would never let her down. That he would never leave her.
‘Good. Because I love you to pieces, James Wolfe, and I will never leave you.’
Wolfe’s hungry gaze burned into hers, but just when she thought for sure he was going to lose some of that inimitable control of his he removed his arms from around her waist and clasped her hand with his.
‘We need to hurry up and break the news to your father,’ he said roughly. ‘I’ve never been a patient man and, as lovely as you look in that dress, it’s time you were wearing something else.’
Ava smiled slowly, basking in the glow of Wolfe’s unguarded love. ‘And do you have something specific in mind?’
‘Oh, yeah.’ He tugged on her hand and brought her up against him for one brief, soul-deep kiss. ‘Me.’
