He was still open-mouthed when we winked out of there.
I climbed into the sleigh. “Can we get it all done in time? There’s a lot of stuff in that house.”
Nicholas laughed. “And this sleigh holds how much?”
He had me there.
We sped through the sky towards the US, my heart so light I swore it could’ve flown there on its own. “Wow. Now that’s what I call a Christmas present.” I grinned. “I got a husband.”
His hand curled around mine. “Happy?”
“Unbelievably happy. But a little panicked, I have to admit. Can we do it all in one night?”
He leaned over and kissed my cheek. “Relax. I’m Santa, remember?” He paused. “You’re okay with how things worked out with Ben?”
“We got there eventually.” I cupped my hand to my mouth. “Hey, girls? Guess who got married?”
I swear, eight reindeer were cheering inside my head.
The sleigh banked, and we came into land. As soon as its rails touched ground, I sagged against the back of the seat. “We made it.”
“Sorry it took a little longer, but I’m usually coming home with an empty sleigh. I hadn’t factored in the extra weight.”
I was in his lap in a heartbeat, my arms around his neck. “But we’re here. We’re finally here.” I chuckled. “With so much stuff it might take us a while to move it, but hey, we’ve got time.”
“All the time in the world,” he whispered.
It was only just beginning to sink in. For the rest of eternity, it would be me and him, interspersed with yearly visits to Ben. The prospect no longer daunted me—it filled me with a fierce joy and a hell of a lot of anticipation. The ease of my acceptance had puzzled me for a while, but now I knew why that was.
I reallywasmade to be his.
Nicholas had once said it would take a special kind of man to adjust to the life of an immortal, but apparently, I was that kind of man.
This wasn’t serendipity—this had been planned.
I couldn’t think about that. I had work to do.
“Of course,” I continued, “youcouldget it all into the house with just a click of your fingers.” I grinned.
His eyes twinkled. “Getting used to a magical lifestyle, are we?”
“I might be.” I leaned in and kissed his neck, knowing it would send a shiver through him. It always did. “But the sooner we move all this, the sooner we end up in bed, so I can make love to my husband.”
He clicked his fingers. “And it’s done.” Nicholas kissed me on the lips, taking his time.
He was right. We had all the time in the world.
