Snatching her ever closer, he roared with laughter.
“Ugh, he’s smug.Theworst,” she complained,pushing with no real strength at his shoulders.
“Feel revived?”he asked.
“I’m wearing a hat to our wedding.”
She wouldn’t.
She’d give him anything he wished.
That was who she was.
He knew it to his soul.
It was why he chose her.
So he could give that back.
“We’ll be happy,Satrine,” hepromised.
A shadow passed over her face before she covered byquipping, “Whatever you say,dukeling.”
“You think that’s a cut, but you could say practicallyanything, still pressing your body to mine, and I wouldn’t care a whit.”
She tried to pull away.
He kept her close.
“You said no backing you in a corner,” he remarked.“Youmade no demands about a desk.”
It was then, he triumphed.
Because her beautiful eyes grew huge.
And then…
For the first time since they met…
Holding her in his arms…
He got to watch as she dissolved into laughter.
