will consider it. Will you consider it?”
    He held his breath as he waited for her answer. He already knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with her; she was the other part of his soul. But she had been through a lot and needed time to adjust. She was here, and that was huge. She stared at him now, her eyes deep fathomless pools. He had no idea what was going on in her head, and that worried him. She briefly looked away from his probing gaze, but when she looked back at him, his breath caught in his throat. He saw the promise of tomorrow reflected in her eyes. It was almost as though she’d taken everything he was feeling inside and beamed it back at him. She lowered her lips to him and dropped a quick kiss.
    “When you do ask, I will not consider it.” Alex stiffened and frowned in confusion. Had he read her incorrectly? But she was smiling tenderly at him. “Whenever you ask me to marry you, Alex, I will say yes.”
    The relief that surged through him was so strong he thought he might burst. With a quick move he flipped her over so that she was lying down and he was on top of her. Then he proceeded to kiss her so thoroughly that she was gasping for breath by the time they broke apart. He was already hard from needing her. “You are a minx, Angela Scot, and I love you so much.”
    Angie wrapped her arms around Alex and smiled into his eyes. She leaned up and whispered into his ears, “Show me how much.”
    Alex’s eyes flared with passion and he proceeded to do just that.
