Sleeping Love

  ‘You know I do. But we have some important issues to sort out before we can live happily ever after,’ she grinned mischievously.

  Raoul laughed and closed his eyes.

  ‘Here we go again.’

  A week later, Sabrina lay on the sofa wrapped in a warm rug curled around Raoul. The house was empty apart from Amelia and Julian, who were conspicuously keeping out of the way. Raoul smoothed his palm over her hair.

  ‘So now we are finally alone, Sabrina. What are the issues we need to sort out? I thought it was simple. You are my wife, and you stay here with me.’

  She sat up and frowned.

  ‘Huh, me Tarzan you Jane. No, it’s not so simple. I have a life back in England. A life I like and I don’t want to let go of thank you very much. I worked hard to build it up out of nothing. But I also don’t want to leave the Chateau, so I have decided to leave my job. I am going to write another History book, work freelance as a lecturer, hopefully one of the Universities will take me on full time, and I want explore writing a fictional novel. ’

  Raoul grinned and kissed her.

  ‘You seem to have it all worked out. I had fears about you demanding to return to England. Writing a novel was another one of your ambitions. I am so glad you have made this decision. I want you here safe with me and at home when we raise a family.’

  She nodded and smiled as he put his arms around her, groaning with the pain in his shoulder.

  ‘I can’t wait to be a father. I love you.’

  ‘I can’t wait to be pregnant,’ she said, gently snuggling against his broad chest for comfort. ‘I was so frightened when you were shot. I thought . . .’ she stopped not wanting to consider the possibility that she could have lost him. ‘I love you too. Promise we won’t ever be apart again. I don’t think I could stand it.’

  ‘I meant what I said when you first arrived here,’ he said softly. He kissed her gently at first and then more passionately when she became responsive. ‘I am not letting you ever leave me again.’

  THE END.

  Review for Knight of Swords:

  This is a fast read, dark, twisting and satisfying. I’m going to give this one 4 fangs.
