Her love for him swelled, making her laugh in joy. He’d actually asked her to marry him after all they’d been through in the past few months. He loved her—needed her. And, God, she needed him, too. Everything seemed to fit perfectly into place, all the pieces snug and tight.
Her life had come back together. She could breathe again.
She burst into tears and launched herself into his arms. He fell backward, the box holding the ring skittering across the floor. She kissed him full on the mouth, and cradled his cheeks with shaky hands to look down into his eyes.
“Yes. I will be your wife! And I will give you all those things and more. I promise!”
He rolled her beneath him on the cool floor. Leaning up on his elbows, he placed a kiss on her forehead. Reaching above her head, he grabbed the box and removed the ring from it, placing the band on her left ring finger.
She rotated her hand, watching the diamond twinkle merrily in the light. “It fits perfect. I love it.”
He smiled and kissed her lips. She groaned and wriggled her hips beneath him, and in one smooth motion he was inside her once more.
“I get to make love to my fiancée now,” he whispered in her ear.
She shivered and met his thrust with a smile on her face. “I love you.”
“And I you,” he murmured. “And I was just kidding about me being an ass. I’m very easy to live with.”
She burst into laughter. “Yeah. Okay.”
In the warm sunlight, he tried to kiss her into silence, but he couldn’t stop her infectious laughter as they made love in front of the closet, where the ring had lay hidden for weeks.

Kill Me Tomorrow
A 1Night Stand Story
Jasmine Baruch is a jinn—a supernatural being who fights demons with fire. While that's difficult enough, she's got bigger problems. She’s a virgin, and in the jinn culture, that is sheer blasphemy. Jinn are supposed to be passionate, promiscuous creatures—everything she isn't. Due to marry the next day, she takes matters into her own hands by using 1Night Stand. But, like the rest of her life, nothing is easy. The man chosen for her, though incredibly gorgeous, is a demi-sanguine; a half-human, half-demon--her enemy.
Gavin Werbato is looking for an easy night of sex. Nothing more, nothing less. Instead, he gets a gorgeous jinn convinced it is her duty to kill him. He can certainly think of better things to do with her soft hands than murder. He need only convince her of that…
Can the fire sparked when these beings collide be controlled, or will it consume their world as they know it?
