Loving Lies (6 page)

“But I do,” Donovan bent his head low, his lips touching those of his wife, his queen.

Chapter Ten

His arms were hard like steel as he pulled the reluctant woman into them. Her lips whispered a denial but her body craved his touch, her hands reached out to touch his skin.

“I want you,” his lips touched the delicate skin at her throat, his tongue tracing a line of love.

“I can’t, I won’t,” she cried but they both knew it was a lie. He smiled, cold and dark but there was love between them, love and desire.

“Hello?” Willow looked up at the sound of the bell over the door. She’d forgotten to lock up again and this book was too good to be denied. “Can I help you?”

“I think you can,” his voice was deep, filled with dark emotion. “I have been without my woman all day and now I crave her attention. What have I told you about locking that door?”

Willow stepped forward, the book forgotten on the counter, her arms reaching out to the only man she’d ever loved.

“How was the Kingdom today?” she whispered, her hands on his neck bringing his head down.

“The same as ever but it can never be as important as my wife. I have missed you,” his lips were warm, demanding, as he stole her breath. In his hand he held a single red rose, a reminder of that day they found each other, a year ago. “Happy Valentine’s Day, my wife.”

Each and every night she waited for him to return from the land he ruled in her stead and each night he returned to her arms, to her love as she lived her life in this human land. One day she would return to the Kingdom, but for now, she was happy to welcome her husband and lover home every night.

Donovan looked down into the bright blue eyes of his wife, a broad smile crossing his lips as he swept her into strong arms.

“Time to go home, my Queen, my love.”

Willow laughed softly, her smile answering him. Her eyes danced over the romance novel she’d discarded. She had her own hero, tall, dark and very handsome and she smiled a little more.

“Home it is, my Lord Husband,” her words full of promise. Who needed such novels when she lived her very own romance?

The night saw a tall dark-headed man carrying a beautiful woman in his arms until they were visible no more and anyone seeing them would believe them to be no more than a dream. A gentle laugh echoed in the dark, an enchantment of love drifting on the breeze.
