thoughtful to think ahead. I truly love it.” I unlock the clasp.
    “Let me.” He takes it from me, and I scrunch my hair up while he fastens it around my neck. “It also serves a dual purpose.”
    “Oh?” I intone, completely flustered, as his fingers skim the surface of my skin, eliciting a flurry of delicious tingles.
    “There’s a microchip embedded in the casing that triggers a bomb mechanism once activated.”
    I jerk around. “Why would you give me something like that?”
    “Why do you think?” He pins me with one of his trademark special looks. “It’s for your protection.”
    I snort. “I hardly think it’s safe to be walking around with a bomb strapped around my neck. What if I accidentally set it off?”
    He sniggers as his fingers brush the pendant where it rests in the hollow above my clavicle. I suck in a husky moan. “You can’t. You have to moisten it with your saliva to activate it. It’s programmed to your DNA so no one else can use it against you. Once it’s activated, you need to secure it to something solid, and then you’ll have thirty seconds to get out of there before she blows.”
    “Trust you to give me a romantic gift that doubles as protection. Obsessive much?” His possessiveness is borderline creepy but weirdly heartwarming too. I’ve never had anyone care this much about me before.
    “When it comes to you, one hundred percent. And don’t expect an apology. Your safety will always come first.” He moves my hair to the side and sweeps his lips against my neck. I moan vociferously. Spinning me around with Olympic-worthy speed, he crashes his mouth to mine, and we lose ourselves in the most absorbing kiss. Our tongues meet, probing, exploring, welcoming, and everything else fades into the background. All the secrets and lies. All my worries and concerns. When we’re together like this, I have all the proof I need to know this is what’s right for me. He’s right for me. Somehow, we will sort through all the crap.
    His hand tangles in my hair as he lures me closer. My hands explore his broad shoulders and back. If I could crawl inside him I would, such is the strength of my need to be as one with him. Every stroke of his tongue, every glide of his lips, tells me how much he loves me, and I wish I could stay sheltered in his embrace for eternity. He is all I’ll ever need. All I want.
    “Ahem.”
    We jump apart, both startled at the intrusion.
    The VP looms over us, a cheesy smirk on his face. “You wish to speak with me, Crown Prince?”
    Logan fixes his hair and carefully lifts me off his lap. He stands up. “If you can spare a few moments.”
    “Of course. This way.” The VP gestures with his hand, and Logan steps into his office, turning at the last minute to slyly wink at me. The VP closes the door behind them, and I return to my desk at the far side of the room, grinning like a spaced-out idiot.
    Fifteen minutes later, the door opens wide and Logan reappears. “I have to go, but you don’t need to worry. The VP will locate your brother and sister and ensure they’re released. He has promised to keep me updated.”
    Rising, I move around the desk and cuddle him. “Thank you so much.” Little pockets of stress flit away. I peek up at him, smiling my gratitude.
    He lowers his lips to mine and kisses me tenderly, pinning me with a loving gaze. “I know you have concerns about the future, Sadie.” He tucks my hair behind my ears, and my skin sizzles where his fingertips make contact. “And I totally understand why. But once we are Eterno connected, none of the other stuff will matter. Trust me on that, and know that I’ll do everything in my power to smooth the transition for you. The last thing I want is for you to worry about anything. I want you to be happy. Carefree.”
    I don’t bother telling him that’s an impossibility.
    He cups my face in his hands and kisses me one last time. “Don’t forget how much I love you. Stay safe, Angel. I’ll call
