“Only with you, Lilah.”
Wrapping my arms around him, I pull him down to lie beside me, snuggling into his embrace when he cradles me against his big, warm body. “I’d like it if you stay. Do you want to stay?”
“Tonight, or forever?”
A laugh bubbles out of me, and I tip my head to look at his face, finding him watching me. Waiting for me. As he always does. As he has for over eight hundred and thirty days.
“Is it too soon to want both?” I say softly.
“Not for us.”
My heart is pounding so hard in my chest, I’m sure he must be able to hear it. “What if I tell you I’m falling in love with you, is it too soon for that?”
“It is the perfect time,” he says, brushing his lips against mine. “You have my love, Lilah, in every form, in every measure.”
They say fate brings people to this town for a reason. At first, I thought mine was to save a fox shifter’s life, but it was the other way around. Helping that fox shifter saved me. And now I know what fate truly had planned for me—love. The kind that simmers until the time is right for it to boil. This is the right time. The perfect time.
