  Judah placed his arm possessively around Mercy’s shoulders. “Are you ready to go?”

  With tears glistening in her eyes and a lump of emotion caught in her throat, Mercy nodded.

  When they turned to leave, Dante said, “Take good care of them.”

  Without looking back, Judah tightened his hold on Mercy and replied, “You have my solemn promise.”

  Hours later, as Judah’s personal jet flew the new Rainsara royal family from Asheville, North Carolina, to Beauport, Terrebonne, in the Caribbean, Eve slept peacefully, Sidonia snoring at her side. In the quiet stillness, high above the earth, Judah took Mercy into his arms and kissed her.

  “You know that I love you,” she said. “I’ve loved you since we first met. Through all these years and everything that has happened…I never stopped loving you.”

  He traced his fingertips over her lips as his gaze all but worshiped her. But he didn’t speak. Mercy laid her hand over his heart and connected with him.

  I won’t allow you to read my thoughts, nor do I want to read yours, he told her.

  But look inside me now and know how I feel.

  When she turned, curled up beside him and took his hand in hers, he wrapped his arms about her and held her close.

  You are mine. And I am yours. Now and forever. I need you the way I need the air I breathe. I love you, my sweet Mercy.
