He caught her and drew her against him, pressing kisses…
““He caught her and drew her against him, pressing kisses into her mouth as he murmured, "So beautiful So beautiful." He sat up to pull the covers over them both and then he took her into his arms as he lay back down. The fire crackled and the few candles still lit guttered and she thought, as her mind began to drift, that perhaps her feelings for her strange, dark husband might be more than just affection.””
