His lips descended to hers and Albina reached up on tiptoes to meet him. His lips were soft and warm, his hands tight about her waist as she leaned into him, her arms around his neck once more. She kissed him without hesitation, trusting him with both her present and her future. Joy like she’d never known seemed to sweep her away and, when she opened her eyes, stars sparkled in her vision.
“I love you, Albina.”
Lord Addenbrook cupped her chin, his eyes searching her face as if desperate for her to believe him.
“I did not even think I was capable of such an emotion, but it is like a torrent pouring out from my heart. I love you. I love you desperately.”
“Then make me your bride,” she whispered, leaning against his strong frame, her fingers brushing through the hair at the back of his neck. “For my only wish is to be your wife.”
He smiled, his eyes gleaming and, in the next moment, Albina found herself caught up in his arms.
“Then I shall have the carriage prepared immediately,” he growled playfully, making her laugh. “And you shall have your dearest wish, Lady Albina, and I shall have mine.” His head turned a little more and he caught her lips with his own again. “To be your dutiful, loving husband who will do nothing other than marvel at the day he found such a beautiful, tender lady such as you.” He smiled into her eyes. “I love you, Albina.”
Her hand brushed his cheek tenderly.
“I love you too.”
