Free Forever Valentine by Bianca D'Arc Page B

immortal, God apparently had other plans. Ian would not argue with God, or Fate, or whatever had caused this miraculous moment to happen. All he knew was that he’d found the ultimate happiness in this realm and he would hold on to it—to her—for all he was worth.

Epilogue
    By the next year on February fourteenth, Jena and Ian had fragile, baby, demi-vampir twins to look after. Leaving them with Christy and Sebastian for the night, Ian took Jena to the same little bistro where he’d spied on her with her date the year before.
    “Nothing like coming full circle,” he mused as he poured the wine. Jena was still demi-vampir and mortal. They’d decided that barring some unforeseen circumstance, Jena would stay mortal until the babies were a bit older. They weren’t quite sure how becoming immortal would affect Jena’s unique body chemistry, so they didn’t want to take the chance of her not being able to be there during the day while the babies still needed her.
    Ian was able to spend some time in the very early morning sun, but did even better in the late afternoon and twilight. With Jena’s magic demi-vampir blood and multiple orgasms sustaining him, he fed only from her and was stronger than he’d ever been before.
    “I liked it when you were watching over me, Ian. Though at first I found it a bit annoying.” She toasted him with her wine. “You grew on me.”
    “Like a fungus, huh?”
    She chuckled and tucked into the light meal she’d ordered while he just stared across at his good fortune. He still sometimes found it hard to believe this miracle had come to him. She was his salvation, his raison d’être . He didn’t know how he’d existed for so long without her and couldn’t envision a time when he could live without her. She was necessary to him now, in so many ways. Without her, he would cease to exist.
    “Actually, I came to enjoy you glowering at me from the shrubbery and I missed you when you weren’t there. Last Valentine’s night, for example, when I went out to my car to meet Dick Schmidt,” he growled at the mention of the other man’s name, “you weren’t there. I never told you, I nearly panicked, thinking something happened to you. It worried me when you suddenly weren’t there.”
    Ian reached across the small table, much as Dick had done the year before, but with much more successful results. She turned her palm into his, smiling warmly up at him.
    “I’ll be with you always now, my love. For eternity.”
