“Damon,” she sighed. “I love you with everything I am. I never knew joy and love such as this could exist, let alone one day be mine. I will live every day making certain your eyes sparkle as brightly as my pendant.”
“With you close, there is nothing that could eclipse the love and light within me.”
As he pulled her to him once more and claimed her smiling lips, Payton could almost hear applause coming from the corridor, but as his mouth moved against hers and burning desire pooled within her, the sound faded—until there was nothing but Damon and her.
And the promise of the family they would create, along with Joy and Abram.
Together.
