His arms tightened. “It won’t happen again. Maraveet didn’t think. I’ll talk to her. We’re safe, Juliette. I promise you. You and our babies, I won’t let anything happen to any of you.”
Swallowing, she wiped her eyes and turned to face him. “I’ll be okay. I’m just shaken. Plus the hormones, I’m a mess.”
He took her face between his palms. “You’re a beautiful mess.” He smiled when she chuckled.
“How is he?”
Gentle hands brushed hairs off her damp cheeks. “He’ll be okay. I promised him a hike along the beach tomorrow. We’re going to look for mermaids.”
“That sounds nice.” She sighed. “I’m glad he’s okay.”
Nodding, he tugged her closer to him. “It’s our anniversary this weekend. Any regrets so far?”
“Only one.” She tangled her arms around his neck and peered up at him with a teasing grin. “Those five months—”
“Jesus, woman! Are you never going to let me live that down?”
Juliette shook her head. “Never. It’s five months I didn’t have you and it was your fault.”
With a frustrated growl, he kissed her hard. His hands tangled in her hair as he gripped her viciously close and plundered her mouth until she was a burning ball of fire on the verge of imploding. Then, just as effortlessly, the kiss softened. It slowed to a gentle sweetness that melted her into weightless vapors.
“Then I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you, lamb,” he vowed quietly against her swollen mouth. “Just give me forever with you.”
Dizzy, Juliette raised her eyes to his. “If you insist.”
His mouth broke into a dazzling smile. “I do.”
