pressed her tighter to me. “I’m not leaving you. If you’re in Eldorra, I’m in Eldorra. If you’re in Antarctica, the Sahara, or the middle of the fucking ocean, I’m there. I’m as much yours as you are mine, princess, and a law isn’t keeping me away. I don’t care what a piece of paper says. I’ll burn down the entire fucking Parliament if I have to.”
No way in hell would Bridget wear another man’s ring on her finger.
“If we do it, we do it together. You and me against the world, princess.”
“Doesn’t matter. You were still mine.” I curled my hand around the back of her neck while keeping my thumb on her lip. “Mine to fight with. Mine to protect. Mine to fuck.” My voice dropped. “Mine to love.”
“In Costa Rica, you asked if I’d ever been in love. I said no.” I lowered my head until our foreheads touched and her lips were scant inches from mine. “Ask me again.”
“Have you ever been in love, Mr. Larsen?” “Only once.” I slid my hand up from her neck to the back of her head, cupping it. “And you, princess. Have you ever been in love?” “Only once,” she whispered.
“Only once. First and last. Don’t forget that, princess.”
I’d lived in hell my whole life, and it wasn’t until now I glimpsed what heaven felt like.
Bridget felt better than heaven. She felt like home.
You ready, Mr. Larsen? Born ready, princess.
One battle down, one war to win. Good thing I was, and always will be, a soldier for one queen.
“Looks like you’re stuck with me, princess.”
Fuck personally involved. That’s not good enough. I want to be in your mind, in your heart, and in your fucking soul the way you are in mine. You and me, princess…” “…Against the world,”
“That’s right. You’re never alone, princess,” he whispered against my mouth. “Remember that.”
Just us. That was all we needed.
“You’re dating a princess now. You can’t go around stabbing people.”
“I never believed in love. Never wanted it. I didn’t see the practical value and, to be honest, I was doing just fine without it. But then I met you. Your smile, your strength, your intelligence and compassion. Even your stubbornness and hardheadedness. You filled a part of my soul I always thought would be empty, and you healed scars I never knew existed. And I realized…it’s not that I didn’t believe in love before. It’s that I was saving it all for you.”
I didn’t know what I’d done to deserve her, but she was here, she was mine, and I was never letting her go.
We always end up where we’re meant to be.
you’re never allowed to stop calling me princess.”
“You’ll always be my princess.”
“Was this where you expected to end up as a kid? Hiding in a royal drawing room with your wife on the night of your wedding?”
“But someone once told me we always end up where we’re meant to be, and this is where I’m meant to be. With you.”
Because while what we had wasn’t a traditional fairytale by any means, it was ours. And it was forever.
