Chapter 22 He Is Mine

• And there he stands, the man who makes my heart beat faster, the one I've been dreaming about all evenings. He stares at me, in his eyes I read an incredible love and longing, but also an immense concern. Zane stands there all authority, in his dark tuxedo, he's so handsome that tap keeps my eyes on him for a few seconds at first. I can't believe that gorgeous man standing there is mine, and mine alone.
• “Zane!” I scream out and run into my mate's warm arms. I grab him and press my body against his chest, laughing, relieved. “How I've missed you, mate. No going away this long anymore, I won't survive that again.” His arms go around me naturally, he lifts me until he can bury his face in the crook of my neck. With a few strong inhales, it absorbs my scent and I feel him relax. “Oooh, my woman! It was really all too much.” After our hot kiss, he slowly let me slide against his body on both my feet.
• And then he looks ahead.
