In the Flesh (31 page)
“I worry about my father.” Her voice was small.
Wulf rested his cheek atop the crown of her head and drew her tighter against him. “As do I. His nanotach signal is being monitored, but in the morning, you and I will have to plan a better way to protect him. Knowing your father’s location is only half the battle, and he’ll fight us the rest of the way. He loves you, but he’s wary of me. He’d remove the nanotach if he knew it was there.”
Katie sighed. “No happily-ever-after, you said.”
“No. Probably not.”
Pressing her cheek against his heart, she said, “I don’t have any regrets.”
“Neither do I.”
“None?”
He smiled into her hair. “I wish I’d proposed to you sooner.”
“What will you do to make up for your delay?”
His cock swelled eagerly between them. With a wicked grin, Wulf lifted her and descended into the pillowed seating area. “I’ll spend the rest of my life pleasuring you.”
“Umm…Sounds promising,” Katie purred, welcoming his weight with open arms.
As he settled between her spread thighs, Wulf’s heart ached with love for her. “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
Author’s Note
Some readers may remember this tale as one formerly known as
Sapphire’s Worth.
Written in 2004, a few brief excerpts were posted on my Web site and they were never forgotten—I’ve been receiving e-mail about Sapphire and Wulf for the last five years! I hope you find that the wait was worth it. This story was my second completed novel and although I have written many more since then, this one holds a special place in my heart.
With love,
Sylvia
