I cocked an eyebrow, wondering just what he was having smuggled here. The purple alien gestured to one of his men close by and whispered something in his ear. The man nodded and rushed off.
Bane grabbed my hand and pulled me into a sultry kiss, and I moaned, curling my body close to his. When he pulled away, he smiled down at me and I bit my lip.
What was he up to?
“Cara, I want you to know that I’m proud of you. That you’re more woman than I’ll ever need,” he began, and I felt myself blushing as he spoke.
“Bane, what is this?” I asked, becoming increasingly suspicious of what was going on.
“I love you, Cara,” he professed, his voice loud and true.
“I love you too,” I answered, feeling a fullness in my heart at his public declaration of his feelings for me.
“Look,” he murmured softly then, pointing back to the ship.
I turned my head and gasped with surprise.
He’d brought my family back to me. My mother and father. My sisters. He’d sent his men to get them and bring them back to me.
“Bane, thank you,” I whispered in disbelief.
“Anything for you, my little human.”
