“Oh, I’m aware,” I said with the dirtiest grin I could muster.
The woman I was going to marry someday blushed the prettiest shade of pink, but she didn’t pull away. “Then when that time comes, we’ll host a celebration, get to know the residents of Crestborn fief better and give them some joy back in their lives.” She tucked tighter up against me. “And we’ll send word to all your family and Amber, too, and gather everyone we love together for a wedding.”
“That sounds perfect,” I told her and kissed her softly again, blinking back the sting in my eyes at the beautiful image she conjured.
She cocked her head at me. “You know…When we met, you were rather convinced that you were this big, bad wolf, undeserving of love or forgiveness, but you always surprise me with what a big heart you have.”
Smiling down at the woman I loved more than life, who impossibly loved me in return, there was only one thing I could say.
“All the better to love you with, my dear.”
