‘Leonidas Vassalio, of course I’ll marry you,’ she whispered smilingly, before she kissed him and felt the surge of power that trembled through his body as he caught her to him. ‘Leon…’

That’s better
, his eyes said approvingly when he lifted his head, and the gleam in their dark depths promised everything that was joyous and exciting. ‘And now…’ suddenly he was sweeping her up into his arms ‘…I believe we have some unfinished business upstairs.’

Much later, after he’d gone to make some coffee, Kayla was surprised when he returned almost immediately.

‘Your cell phone is bleeping,’ he told her, handing over her bag, and she was alarmed to see the display on her phone showing half a dozen missed calls—all from Josh.

‘Lorna’s in hospital,’ she told Leonidas when she’d finished speaking to her friend’s husband. ‘She was rushed in for a Caesarean section this afternoon but everything’s OK.’ She was laughing and crying as she added, ‘Both mother and daughter are doing well!’

‘Thank heaven for that!’ he expressed, with his hand against his robed chest, looking as thrilled and almost as relieved as Kayla felt. ‘This means we have to get a move on if we want to catch up with Josh and Lorna—particularly if you’re going
to fill my island with dogs and horses and babies, Mrs Vassalio. It’s in the Bahamas, by the way. And at this exact moment I can’t do too much to fulfil your dreams with the first two things on your wish-list, but I can certainly do something right now about fulfilling the last!’

Later, lying in his arms, Kayla stirred and stretched contentedly.

He’s a good man
, Philomena had tried to tell her, and Kayla knew that now. She also knew that as men came—company or otherwise—they didn’t come any better.
