  “Good. I plan to say it often. Just so you never forget it.”

  “Not a chance,” she promised.

  He rested his forehead against hers. “So, after meeting the thundering herd of Kings, you still want to marry me next month?”

  His tone was joking, but she knew that a part of him was still worried that something might happen to tear them apart. He might not believe that he was capable of love, but Katie knew differently. Rafe King had more love to give than most men, simply because he’d never known it before. And she knew that once his heart was given, it was forever.

  “You’re not getting away from me now, Rafe,” she said softly. “We’re getting married and I am going to love you forever.”

  His eyes flashed, his mouth curved, and he pulled her in hard against him for a hug that left her breathless. But who needed to breathe when you were surrounded by love?

  When he finally let her go, he draped one arm around her shoulders and, together, they walked into the circle of family.
