‘Yes…yes, I will…’ She wrapped her arms around him, loving the way he ran his hands over her body, over every dip and curve. She kissed him because she loved him, because she wanted him, because she needed him to know that she would be his for evermore.
When they at last stopped to gather breath, she said softly, ‘Aunt Annie thought we were meant for each other, you know. She knew how much I loved you and she always had faith in you, even when I was floundering. That must be the reason she left you part of the house. She wanted us to be together, and she knew we’d have to find some way of making it work if we both lived here.’
He chuckled. ‘Yes, I’d worked that one out. She was right, wasn’t she? I know she couldn’t have expected it to happen so soon, but her plans were all intact. She didn’t leave anything to chance.’
She snuggled into him, nuzzling his neck and planting soft kisses along his throat. ‘I love you so much.’
‘And I love you, beyond anything. That’s why I came to work in Devon. I knew, sooner or later, you would come to visit Annie and I would do everything I could to win you round. I just had to see you again.’ He gave a wry smile. ‘And then when you turned up and hadn’t a clue who I was, I thought maybe here was my chance to get you to love me all over again.’
‘Well, you managed that all right.’
‘I did, didn’t I? That must say something about true love lasting for ever.’ He kissed her again. ‘Are we too late for a summer wedding, do you think?’
She smiled up at him. ‘I shouldn’t think so. I’m sure we’ll manage to sort something out.’
‘That’s good…that’ll be perfect.’ He gently pressured her back into the cushions and eased himself against her, and after that neither of them had any inclination to move apart for a long, long time.
