often
they’d loved each other. What began as soon as they were home lasted throughout
the night. They were both exhausted and well satisfied but that still didn’t
seem to be enough. Kellen’s last thought before he gave himself over to sleep
was that he would never get enough of the amazing woman who had given her life
to him.

Frankie was jolted awake by Kellen’s whistle. Looking around
the room, she saw him at his desk.
“What?” she asked, drawing his attention from what he had
been reading on the computer.
“You have to see this.” He waved her over to him, his eyes
twinkling with merriment. “You’re going to love it.”
“What?” she repeated her question as she rose from the bed.
Kellen slid his chair back and pulled her in front of him,
urging her naked form onto his lap. “Read it for yourself.”
“Oh wow!” Frankie exclaimed, twisting to see his face,
giggling when Kellen surprised her with a noisy kiss. “I did it! I really did
it. I’d decided to quit after he admitted his part in their deaths to me. But I
stopped him.”
“Yes, you did,” he declared, echoing her grin.
“I don’t believe it,” she said, rereading the headline, Local
Businessman Confesses to Being Major Player in Drug Ring . The article went
on to detail how Valdez had turned himself in to the local police shortly after
2:00 a.m. and provided all he could on his operation and those individuals he
associated with.
“I was ready to give up.”
“I know.” Kellen kissed her again.
“That’s wonderful!”
“Yep,” he agreed with another kiss.
“He won’t hurt anyone else, ever again.”
“Nope.” Kellen laughed as she kissed him this time. “You did
change things. You did make a difference.”
“I did,” she said happily, squirming on his lap. She
couldn’t help but notice how Kellen’s body responded to hers. “Mmm,” she
murmured, turning more fully in his arms. “Kellen.”
Without her needing to say it Kellen seemed to know what she
wanted. She started to giggle when he stood and carried her to the bed. When he
tossed her onto it she was laughing so hard she couldn’t speak. Instead she
held out her arms to him. He bounced beside her, laughing as hard as she was,
kissing her nonstop. Before she gave herself over to the playfulness Kellen had
begun she acknowledged that she truly had made a difference, that her family
hadn’t died in vain and now because of that she and her mate could embark on
their happily ever after for all eternity.
