For the first time in his life, Micah didn't know what to do with the amount of love being poured into him. So he kissed his mate hard, pouring everything in his heart into that one moment.
Adele kissed him back with equal ferocity, her fingers digging into his hair, their breaths mingling as if they were trying to breathe each other in.
When he finally pulled back, his voice was raw with emotion.
"I love you, Adele. With all my heart. I promise to be the best mate you'll ever have, and curse be the day I ever look at another woman with lust, much less take one to bed."
Adele warned him immediately, "Let's not make such dangerous promises. The goddess do honor them."
But Micah was stubborn.
"I mean it," he insisted, saying in an unwavering tone. "It's me and you forever, Adele. No one else."
Adele held his gaze, butterflies stirring in her belly, her eyes warming. "That's it," she murmured, "You're mine forever. I love you too, Micah."
