His reply was to take her in his arms, crushing the roses as he claimed her lips in a kiss that was tender yet demanding, passionate and filled with longing. ‘I love you,' he whispered into her hair, holding her close regardless of the shower of red petals that fluttered to the ground at their feet. ‘I've always loved you, but I was a pompous fool and I took you for granted.' He released her just enough to look deeply into her eyes. ‘Say something. Am I forgiven?'

She answered him with a kiss, winding her arms around his neck and pressing her body against his. She could feel him hard against her and she was dizzy with desire. Her heart and her body were speaking for her, and she mouthed the words against his cheek. ‘I love you too, Bram.' She leaned back, holding his gaze. ‘And you are forgiven.'

He lifted her in his arms and carried her over the threshold on a carpet of red rose petals.
