Eagan kissed her forehead. “And you can dig yourself out. I have a plan.”
She frowned. “What plan?”
“Your book. You want to make restitution for the things you’ve taken. Right?”
“More than anything,” she breathed, and his heart melted at her vulnerability. “I want that so much, Eagan.”
“Then that’s what we’ll do. If Magic will hear reason, we’ll start working off your debt. Little by little, you’ll pay back what you owe. And with each thing you mark off that list, the better you’ll feel. Until your heart’s as happy as it deserves to be.”
Tears filled her eyes again, over-spilling her lids and sliding down her sweet round cheeks. “Why do you help me? Why are you so good to me?”
Eagan took her face in his hands, brushing her tears away with his thumbs. Slowly, he bent to kiss lips that were swollen from crying. Softly, he kissed her, relaying a message he wasn’t ready to speak out loud. Again. And again, showing her that he thought she was precious, even if she was riddled with guilt. Both hers, and her family’s.
He pulled back, staring into her eyes. “At base… you’re mine. And I willalwaystake care of what’s mine.”
His mate wrapped her arms around his waist, burrowing her head into his chest. And it was the best damn feeling he’d ever felt.
Mine, his cat purred.Always mine.My little woman.
