more.”
    “Arielle, you have me. Besides, I haven’t even started giving you things,” he said. “This is what makes me happy, so you have to let me do this.”
    She took the box and flipped it open. The sight of a beautiful tennis bracelet made her gulp. The bracelet looked expensive, and it definitely had the flare of another era.
    “Oh, my… How beautiful! Did you have this made?”
    “No, this actually belonged to my mother,” he said softly. Arielle was speechless. She looked up at him with teary eyes.
    “Are you sure you want me to have this?” she asked. Her hands trembled.
    “Arielle, you are all I will ever want. My lover, my friend, and my wife-to-be for all eternity, so yes, I want you to have this and everything else I own.”
    “It’s absolutely amazing! I’m truly touched, especially now that I have met your magnificent mother.” He smiled with pleasure. She was still staring at the bracelet when he reached over, took it out of the box, and placed it on her wrist. He pulled her closer and kissed her, making her forget about gifts and the world in general. All she could feel was his breathtaking caress, and she sighed deeply.
    On the return trip, the limo drove unhurriedly to the airport. Arielle was tired and fell asleep in his arms on the flight back. She couldn’t remember much of the flight or the drive home. What she could remember was thinking that she was hopelessly in love with the man in her life.

    WHEN ARIELLE AWOKE, the room was dark. There was just enough light to see the clock on the nightstand. It was five-thirty in the morning. Arielle smiled wide, thinking that it was officially her birthday. She stretched leisurely, pushing the covers away, and started to swing her legs off the bed. A pair of strong hands reached out and pulled back. She fell into Sebastian's arms.
    “Good morning, baby; happy birthday!” His lips found hers while his hands moved softly down her back. Slowly, they journeyed across her hips, spreading heat across her body. He pulled her closer, and his arms tightened around her like a steel vise as he rolled on top of her. She could see that he was aroused, and she willingly surrendered to his extraordinary lovemaking. It was when she finally laid on her back feeling sated that amazing thoughts flooded her head. Yesterday felt like a dream, something that only happened in films and romance books. She blinked and turned on her side to make sure he was still there. She smiled upon seeing his beautiful Adonis face.
    “Thank you for making me so happy,” she said, brushing her lips against his. “I would love to spend the rest of my life right here lying next to you Mr. Darcy.”
    “My Lizzy, I haven’t even started making you happy,” he said. His lips curved up into an amazing smile. She leaned into him, crushing his lips beneath hers.
    “Mmm, what’s that for?” he asked.
    “I love you, Sebastian. I love you beyond any human boundaries, beyond any immortal boundaries.”
    “There are no immortal boundaries,” he corrected her and pressed a quick kiss on the tip of her nose.

    “Happy twenty-second birthday, baby,” he purred and wound his arms about her. “What would you like to do today?” he asked, tugging at her bottom lip with his teeth.
    Arielle gasped against his mouth and pressed closer to explore the softness of her mouth. “I just want to be with you.”
    “I’m right here, baby. I’m not going anywhere.”
    They looked into each other’s eyes and grinned blissfully. Putting her hands flat on his chest, she pushed back softly. “I need to get up.”
    “Whatever for?”
    “I need to use the bathroom.”
    He immediately released her, and she jumped out of bed. “Let's make plans for today,” he called out as the
