But she still had a long way to go to recover from what had been done to her.
He was going to be there to help her. For sure.
As mating plans started swirling around, and the decision was made that there would be two ceremonies, one in the s’Hisbe and one in Caldwell, he and Denne snuck back out into the hall. That massive guard, s’Ex, had gone off somewhere, maybe to eat, finally. So they had a little privacy.
“Those two fallen stars,” Denne murmured. “They were so right.”
“They sure knew what they were doing.” Allhan pulled her in close again and kissed her, lingering on her lips. “I’ll always think of them when I look at the night sky.”
“Me, too.”
The sense that all was right in the world made him feel like they’d reached a destination after long travel, and he released the last of the tension in his body as he exhaled.
But then Denne frowned.
“What is it?” he asked.
“Well, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Anything.”
She chuckled. “Among the things I love about you is how you’re always ready for anything.”
Too right, he thought. And given the way his blood was heating in his veins as he put his hands on her waist, he was on the verge of being very ready for something very specific. Now was hardly the time for that, however.
“What do you need?” he prompted.
“Will you be my plus-one for a wedding?” As his brows popped, Denne put her palms on his pecs. “It’s two friends of mine, and they invited me, and I hate crowds of people, and I know this is a big ask given that it’s humans—”
Allhan cut off the tumble of words by kissing his female again. And after he deepened things by licking his way into her mouth, he had to stop himself.
“I’m your plus-one for life,” he murmured. “Where you go, I go.”
As his female’s eyes swam with tears, he brushed her cheek.
“And I’m the same for you,” she said roughly. “For life.”
When they kissed once more, it was with reverence. Which was what you felt when you’d been granted a miracle.
That had been written in the stars.
