“I’ll have no other but you,” he murmured. “You said to me that I held your heart in my hands, and that I’d never have another like it. I’m telling you now you have mine in yours, and I swear to you, Rowan, you’ll never have another like it. No one will ever love you more. The choice is yours.”

She studied him, the way his face lifted to hers, how the light from the fire he’d taught her to make danced over it. She didn’t need to see his thoughts now. All she wanted was there, in his eyes.

She made her choice, and lowered to her knees so their eyes were on level. “I’ll take you on, Liam, as you’ll take me. And I’ll take nothing less than forever. I’ll share the life we make together. I’ll belong to you, as you belong to me. That’s my choice, and my promise.”

Swamped with emotion, he lowered his brow to hers. “God, I missed you. Every hour of every day. There’s no magic without you. No heart in it.”

He found her mouth with his, pulling her close, swaying as the force of feeling rocked him. She wrapped her arms around him, gave him every answer to every question.

“I could drown in you.” He rose to his feet, lifting her high, and her laughter rang out pure and bright as she threw her arms up.

Starlight dazzled her eyes. She watched one shoot across the sky as he spun with her. A trail of gold, a shower of silver. “Tell me again!” she demanded. “Tell me now. Right now!”

“I love you. Now”—he lowered her until their mouths met again—“and ever.”

She held him close, heartbeat to heartbeat. “Liam of Donovan.” Leaning back, she smiled at him. Her prince, her witch. Her mate. “Will you grant me a boon?”

“Rowan of O’Meara, you have only to ask what you will.”

“Take me to Ireland. Take me home.”

Pleasure swirled into his eyes. “Now, a ghra?” My love.

“In the morning.” She drew him back to her. “It’s soon enough.”

And when they kissed with the firelight glowing, the stars shimmering, the fairies danced in the forest. In the hills far away, pipes played in celebration, and songs of joy were sung.

Love no longer waited, but found its mark.
