Be my partner in everything I do.”
“Do your brothers come with the deal?”
“I’m afraid so.” Adam grinned. “Though I’m the one who should be asking that question.”
She smiled into the warmest brown eyes she’d ever seen. “Someone’s got to keep you out of trouble. This is a wild country, this Texas.” She gently kissed his busted lip. “It’ll be a full-time job just keeping my brother and brother-in-laws from killing you.” He was a man of peace in her world. She’d known it the night they’d met. He alone could heal her inner scars with his love. “I’ll marry you, Adam.”
He kissed her tenderly. “I have a feeling with you as my wife, I’ll probably die in bed.” He moved his hands over her hips and pressed her close. “Say it,” he whispered against her ear. “Say you love me.”
“I love you, Doc, I always have.” She rocked against him, kissing him lightly as she whispered, “From now on, I’m no longer a Shadow. I’ll be beside you in day and night.”
“In day and night,” he echoed as he kissed her fully. “Until death do us part.”
