Chapter 28: Kiss Me

William shook his head with a small laugh. “No, I don’t. But I will. I may not tell the world that you are mine tonight, but I promise you, Sarah Mitch…” His fingers slid over her wrist. “When I do? I will make sure you asked me to do it. And then I will make you mine in every way possible. Just like it has always been.” Sarah stared at him for the longest moment before standing up and rounding the island. She was at his side, slumping forward into his chest, her arms circling his neck. She buried her face in his shoulder. She felt the thumping of his heart and pulled back to look into his eyes. She felt a little foolish for the long time she had taken to come to a conclusion so easily. William chuckled, making her blush. She felt a finger under her chin lifting her head up to look into his eyes. “As long as it is a happy ending,” he stated and kissed her chastely. “I am the luckiest man right now.” “Kiss me again,” she demanded. “Harder and longer this time.” He did as she asked.
