“It is. It was,” he blurts, trying to sit up. “Let me get on one knee and ask properly—”
“Come here.” I pull him and kiss him speechless. “I will marry you in every lifetime, baby.”
“Really?”
“Really. I’ve wanted to marry you since I met you in that garden when we were kids.”
His lips quiver as a shine appears in his eyes. “How can you love me so much, Marcus?”
“You’re just so lovable, baby.” I brush my lips against his. “I want to wake up every day and see your face beside me and be grateful you’re right here, that you’re choosing me over your demons and whatever tries to drag you under. And I want to spend the rest of my life shielding you from any that dares to come for you. Even the ones inside your head.”
Preston’s lips lift, soft and so beautiful, it aches. He leans in and kisses me—slow, tender, almost reverent.
“Thank you,” he murmurs against my mouth, “for looking past the mess and not running. For letting me love you the way I know how. You have me. All of me. And I’ll protect you with my life…husband.”
Something in my chest cracks open, and I kiss him again, deeper this time, because there’s never going to be enough of him, not in this lifetime or any other.
Once upon a time, I saw a fairy prince and wanted to make him mine.
Little did I know that he’d claim me just as completely.
