Forever As One by Jackie Ivie Page A

wrong.”
    “Did he call you…Babyface?”
    The goddess in his arms giggled. And to get
that reaction, he didn’t care what she called him. “Yeah.”
    “I like it. It fits.”
    “Could you two coo later? I’ve got a shower
to take. And a tux to don. Yes?”
    Dane swiveled her in his arms, looked down,
and caught the slightest tip of fangs from between her lips.
“You’re…changed?”
    “I told you. We had a visitor. We had a long
talk. Mainly about you. He said to tell you it’s all right. He’d
have done the same thing. But a contract’s a contract.”
    “Akron was here?”
    “Shit.” That was Len. “This means I’m not as
sneaky as I think I am. That’s crushing to the ego. Truly. I’m
going to have to go lick my wounds somewhere.”
    “No. Everything’s fine. She’s a vampire. I’m
looking at her.”
    The lightning flash of joy that arced through
him took them both off the floor. Len looked very small as he
tilted his head toward them and cleared his throat.
    “You want me to leave you two alone? I mean,
what’s one more day of freedom, more or less?”
    “Freedom?”
    “He’s talking marriage,
Frja
. You
and me. Together. As one. It’ll be forever. I swear.”
    “I have something to tell you.” Her voice
went to a whisper as she nuzzled his neck. “It’s more than forever.
I love you. You hear that, Babyface? I love you.”
    And with that, she bit him.
