His heart began
a fast thump with her soft kisses on his chest. “How are you feeling?” he
asked, his voice hoarse, and hopeful.
Reaching down,
she stroked him. “Very good. And I know how you are feeling.”
Alex turned her
on her back and lay over her, giving her a slow, tender kiss. She tasted of
honey. His lips trailed over her cheek and forehead. Raising his head, he saw
her shadowed as usual by the dimness of the room.
He sat up. “Do
not move.” He got out of bed and walked to the windows. One by one, he flung
open the drapes.
The sun spilled
in like a beacon of hope.
He turned to
look at her. “You are even more beautiful in the sunlight.”
Katherine opened
her mouth in astonishment and propped herself up on one elbow. “But the drapes.
You want them closed.”
“No more.” Alex
went to her. “The past is finished. I want no darkness in our home.”
“Our home,”
Katherine sighed happily as he lay down and took her in his arms. “Joy and
light. And children to fill it.”
“And love,” Alex
said as his lips met hers. “Always love.”
