“You look, so beautiful,” Barthos said as he embraced Geanya. Angeline bit her lip trying not to break out crying again. Killian’s medicine was like magic.

“It’s almost like the fire never happened, isn’t it?” She asked Barthos.

“They sound happy,” Killian said, a smile on his handsome face.

Angeline turned in to his arms, loving his embrace. “Your sight has gotten much better. Can’t you see them?”

His hand glided along her jawline. “I got my sight back, Angel. But all I see is you. It was your face, and your smile I couldn’t stand to miss.”

“You’re my happiness, Killian.”

“I hope you still feel that way after you shift.”

Angeline smiled up at him and kissed his chin as she played with the waist of his pants. Killian awoke in her sexual desire that she’d never known before him.

Herro was standing back behind Barthos smiling at Angeline with her husband. He looked happy himself. Healthy and not so tired all the time. These past four weeks seemed to have given both he and Barthos time to heal from all the horror their father brought to their lives.

“Oh honey, I’m going to miss seeing your face every day but I couldn’t be more pleased with your choice in a husband. Killian is going to look out for you like I know you’ll do for him.”

Killian released Angeline and she went to her mother hugging her tight. “You just call me and I’ll come, Mom. You know that.”

“I do,” her mom said, and kissed her cheek.

“Thank you for everything,” Barthos said meeting Angeline’s blue eyed gaze. “I’m sorry I blamed you and I’m sorry I… I’m sorry I ever raised a hand against you.”

Angeline felt Killian’s warmth at her back even before he wrapped a protective arm around her waist. “I forgive you, Barthos. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize that there was something more going on.”

“No. You can’t be sorry for what you didn’t know. It was my fault. Thank you for accepting my apology.” Barthos nodded to Killian. “Take good care of her.”

“I will,” Killian said.

“We’ll go and let you get settled back into your home,” Angeline told them. “I’ll be back tomorrow to check in on you.”

Killian plucked Angeline up in his arms. “It may be the day after that. We’ve got an overdue honeymoon to celebrate. With that he sped them away into the forest.

Angeline laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. She snuggled in to him and began to kiss and lick that sensitive spot she knew got him hard fast.

He slowed his pace and scanned the forest around them. “If you keep doing that Angeline, I’ll press you up against one of these trees and have my way with you.”

“What if I plan on having my way with you?”

“If you’d stop being so damn sexy maybe I could hold back and let you steer.”

Angeline nibbled at his earlobe. “I don’t know what you mean.”

Killian pulled the skirt of her dress up, covering her soft curly blond mound with his eager fingers. “I going to be coming in you so much you’re going to feel like a piece of you is gone when I’m not inside you.”

Angeline gasped rocking against his talented fingers. “Take me right now, Killian. I can’t wait.”

He growled in agreement. Taking her there in the woods, Angeline came over and over again. It felt so good that when they did finally return to Rizer land, she didn’t care that everyone must have heard her.

Even as Errol snickered removing a leaf from her hair. “You two are like rabbits.”

“Yes, we are,” Angeline grinned. “And I’m going to remember you said that when you find your destined mate.”

Killian lowered his gaze and Angeline caught the movement.

“Yeah,” Errol said. “That boat has already sailed for me.”

Angeline gasped. “Did… did she die?”

Errol shook his head.

“Well thank the lord. What’s the problem then?”

“She’s married to someone else,” Killian answered.

Angeline folded her arms tapping her finger. “I think that somehow it’s going to work out.”

Errol gave her a single syllable response in the form of, “Ha.” Before he jogged away.

“Don’t say things like that. You’ll get his hopes up,” Killian scolded Angeline.

“Husband,” Angeline began. “You’re going to find that I’m right ninety nine percent of the time. You should just agree with me now.”

Killian groaned. “But she’s married.”

“I heard you. It doesn’t change what I saw though, does it?”

Killian straightened, resituating Angeline in his lap. “You saw him with her?”

“I did, and boy is he in for a whole lot of trouble!”
