  Watching him through my eyelashes, my smile went sideways. “I'm just really happy. This... everything...” Turning, I gestured at the empty road, the sky above, trying to explain something so much bigger than myself. “Connor, everything is perfect. Every day, I want to tell you again and again that I love you. That I love this.”

  Setting his chin on my head, he held me against his chest. I could feel his heart beating, a music for the ages. “Careful. If you say it too much, it'll become boring.” I started to pull away, but he chuckled, telling me he was joking.

  Nuzzling closer, like it was possible to blend into one person, I sighed. Life was so strange. I used to hate this man. I'd tried to run from him, and once, I actually had. That still cut me deep, recalling the memory of his voice as I drove down that Florida strip.

  He said he forgave me.

  I didn't know if I could ever forgive myself.

  In my soul, I wanted to make up for every perceived betrayal that had been carved there by me. My anger at Claudine, when she'd turned her back and broke my trust, swam among all of it. I didn't blame her, not anymore, but I suspected my sister was haunted by her flaws. It was possible she always would be.

  Maybe Ronin, too.

  “Sinners and saints,” I said under my breath.

  “Hmn?”

  Lifting my head, I tucked my hair behind my ear. “Nothing. We should get going, it's getting late and—”

  His lips captured mine, his weight holding me against the bike's handles. They cut into my spine, but I didn't even feel them. How could I, with so much pleasure in front of me?

  Thumbing my lower lip, he looked me in the eyes. The flecks of green that hummed in his, like emeralds in raw honey, called to me. “You're right,” he said. “It is perfect. I couldn't want anything more. And I never will.”

  The welling inside of me grew on and on. I wondered if my heart would take up every crevice until I was nothing but the glowing, hot sensation that this man had created in me. Things that flared as hot as us, were we even allowed to exist?

  Wasn't this how stars burned out?

  I didn't care. If we were destined to explode in a black hole of fire and love, taking the whole world with us, then so be it. I'd shown I was willing to fight for what we had, and Connor?

  He'd been fighting his whole life.

  Like comets, it was possible we'd crash into this world and leave it in ruin. The future was unknown, the edge of it not even a glimmer on the horizon. But even if it came to that, testing our strength against the ever crushing destruction that life had in store...

  I was in love with Connor.

  And it was for the best.
