Mairi threw herself at him.
Damen’s arms wrapped around her waist instinctively the same time Mairi’s arms curled around his neck.
So many questions flashed through her mind, but she pushed them away. There was time to have them answered later. Her faith in Damen Leventis was restored, the love she had tried so hard to quell bursting out of her heart like an unstoppable flow.
Closing her eyes, she hugged Damen tightly, whispering, “Caught.”
For a moment, Damen was frozen, unable to believe that Mairi was giving him another chance. But when she stayed in his arms, never making any move to go, relief exploded inside him, and his hand shook as he stroked her hair. His voice ragged, he asked, “How long?”
Mairi’s fingers curled against his nape tensely. She knew that when she said the words, she would be taking the biggest risk of her life – and of her child’s.
If she was smart, she would leave Damen Leventis and lead a quiet life alone.
But she didn’t want to be smart.
She wanted to take a risk like Damen did.
And so she whispered, “For as long as you love me—-”
The rest of her words was smothered in his kiss.
“Then consider me caught forever, Mrs. Leventis,” Damen muttered before ravaging his wife’s lips. “There’s nothing in this life that will make me stop loving you.”
Chapter 23
She said: To wed a Greek billionaire, one shall be ready for involvement with innovative experiments.
He said: You mean kinky.
She said: You said that, not me.
He said: No more innovative experiments for you if you do not say the K-word.
She said: K...I can’t say it. But I’m thinking it and it’s the thought that counts, right?
