He smiled at me. “We can share the duty.”

“And today I’m making you amber spuds with spicy cream,” I said.

“What’s that?”

“Faery’s version of jacket potatoes. I reckon you’ll like them.”

“Cool. Looking forward to it.”

I’m not sure where the next part came from. I put it down to feeling all squishy and fuzzy, still glowing inside and out from our lovemaking and my mama’s embracing of us.

What a great place we were in. What a happy turn of events.

Enough joy to make me blurt, “And one day, I’ll make you my husband.”

Pixie balls!

I scrambled to retract it, my face on fire, unable to look at him. “Sorry. Thinking out loud. I… Oh… I…”

Crap.

“I like your way of thinking, Orion.”

My embarrassment crashed. I looked at him, a grin on his handsome face. “You do?”

“I’ll be your husband.”

I almost dropped my coffee from the rush of ecstasy in my body. “You will?”

“Fuck yeah.”

He dropped his mug and ran at me, wrestling me to the sand. Off went my coffee mug, and I didn’t care.

This werewolf wanted to be my husband as well as my mate.

Wow.

He spread out on top of me, the tip of his nose on mine.

“Miko…”

“Orion…”

I slid my hands down his back. “Can you kiss me?”

“Forever and always, my sexy fae fiancé.”

At that moment, the sun came up, bathing the beach in glorious light.

“Really?” I said.

“Fuck. Yeah.”

Stars, I loved the sound of that.

Very, very much.

The End

Dear Reader,

Thanks so much for reading Heart of Dawn and the Curse of Dawn series. I’ve had such a blast writing the books, and I hope you’ve enjoyed this crazy journey.

Orion and Miko have certainly earned their HEA, right?

I’m really going to miss them.

Okay, I’m off to find cake.

Sending lots of love!
