“I learned you enjoy romance stories.” My breath hitched, even though he said those words with a cool, calm tone. “So I made sure to get any and all romance novels I could get my paws on in the five kingdoms.” My heart was racing so fast, and I found myself holding my breath as I absorbed his confession. “But if you want more, I will get you whatever you desire. I just yearn for you to be happy here… with me.”
