Tristan's Loins (30 page)

"You came in the nick of time," she said as
she looked down at her huge stomach. "I did not relish going
through this alone."

"Everything is possible, Selene. I learned
that much from the ring."

"Do you want to read our story now?"

He grinned. "It was much more satisfying to
have lived it."

"Oh no, you don't," she said as she looked up
at him with happy tears. "You made me write this book; you will
help me."

"What of your readers?" he mused as he lifted
her chin, his eyes staring deeply into hers. "I thought you said
constant strife equaled interest. Surely happiness will not hold
their interest?"

"They don't have to read the damn thing
then," Selene muttered and pulled his lips to hers, sighing as his
strong arms encircled her and held her protectively.
