The Evanescence (Fallen Soul Series) (30 page)

I glance down at the matching tattoo on my wrist, and then smile when I look back up at him. “I think
you’d
be more likely to regret it. It’s kind of a girly tattoo.”

He lowers his arm and starts dancing with me, spinning me until I laugh. When the song starts to slow, he pulls me into him, so my back is pressed up against his rock hard chest. “I’ll never ever regret anything I do with you,” he breathes into my ear. “Besides, I like that you’re branded to me.”

My shoulder moves upwards as I shudder from the feel of his breath. “Me, too.”

He twirls me around and pulls me in for a kiss. “I love you,” he whispers against my lips, and then slips his tongue deep inside my mouth.

“I love you, too,” I whisper back and I mean it more than anything in the world because I can feel it, through every single bone in my body, through the way my heart beats when he’s near me, through the way I long to always be with him. The realness, the rawness, the undying connection that comes from loving him so completely.

He traces his finger along my wrist again, touching the star. “You’re mine forever,” he says softly and then presses his lips to mine.

I kiss him back, smiling, because I know he’s right. And I know we’ll be together.

Forever.
