The Serpent Prince

“You’ve changed the ending!” Simon sounded outraged.

Well, she didn’t care. “Yes, it’s much better now that Angelica marries the Serpent Prince instead. I never did like that Rutherford.”

“But, angel,” he protested. “She’d chopped off his head. I don’t see how he could recover from that.”

“Silly.” She pulled his face down to hers. “Don’t you know true love heals all?”

He paused just before their lips met, his eyes a silvery gray misted with tears. “It does, you know, your love for me.”


“Our love.”

“I feel whole when I’m with you. I didn’t think that was possible after Ethan and Christian and . . . everything. But you swept into my life and redeemed me, ransomed my very soul from the devil.”

“You’re being blasphemous again,” she whispered as she stood on tiptoe to reach his mouth.

“No, but really—”

“Hush. Kiss me.”

And he did.
