I HAVE A WOLF!
Joy exploded in my chest like fireworks. I spun around, dress swishing like I was in a fairytale. "This is huge! Axel! I have a wolf! I really have a wolf!"
He barely had time to react before I threw myself at him.
We collided, and he stumbled back, catching me with a laugh. "You're going to knock us both out, cariño."
"I love you!" I cried, peppering kisses across his face. "I love you."
"Tell me again," he teased and I felt his hands firm on my waist.
"I love you," I said against his lips.
He kissed me like he was sealing a vow. Slow and deep, like we had all the time in the world, even if we knew we didn't.
"I love you," I whispered again, softer this time, like the words were sacred because they were.
Axel grinned against my lips, fingers brushing through the strands at the nape of my neck. His touch alone could write poetry on my skin.
