He closed his eyes, his entire body seeming to sigh in relief. I caught just a glimpse of
the wide grin that seized his lips before I was captured close in his warm embrace. He
rocked me gently, like a gift he wanted only to cherish and never let go.
"You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that," he murmured.
"I can't promise I'll make it easy," I warned him, snuggling into his comforting arms.
"But I really want to try and live happily ever after with you."
He leaned back, his arms looped around the small of my back as he grinned down at
me.

"How about we start with breakfast tomorrow?" he suggested easily.
I pursed my lips, considering for a moment.
"You know, technically it already is tomorrow. You woke me up," I reminded him
coyly.
"Yes, I suppose that's true." He nodded, mockingly serious.
"Know anywhere that serves pancakes at this hour?"
"Are you asking me out, Swan?" he teased, poking me in the side.
"No, you asked me out, remember?" I giggled and flinched away from his tickling
fingers. "I'm just renegotiating the time-frame a little. Why?" I asked, eying him
suspiciously as I crossed my arms over my chest. "You have other plans at three in
the morning?"
He pounced at me, emitting a sound that was halfway between a growl and a laugh as
he scooped me right off my feet and into his arms.
"My only plan is to find somewhere that's open for breakfast and spend the rest of the
day with my girl."
My girl. Oh my gosh, I could get used to that. Really damn quickly.
"Is that a fact?"
"Mmhmm. But we're gonna have to shake things up a bit," he told me with a wicked
grin. "I don't think I can wait until we say goodnight to kiss you again."
I didn't wait for him this time, reaching my hands up to thread my fingers through his
silky hair as I urged his lips down to mine. This kiss wasn't permeated with the same
urgency as our first embrace, but there was just as much passion, tempered with the
sweetness of promise and possibilities. It was the kind of kiss that spoke of forever.
His lips pecked gently at my nose as he turned and headed toward the doors. "Ready
to ride off into the sunset?"
I grinned and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Lead the way, Shutterfly."
