Hyacinth, page 10
“Now, I am your wife,” she whispered. “In every way.”
“Mine,” he said. “You are simply mine. And I am yours… always.”
Hyacinth wrapped her arms about him, holding him close to her even as their hearts thundered together in the wake of such pleasure. She hadn’t thought to have the kind of love that Primrose had found. She had expected to grow old alone, a spinster aunt to the children of her siblings. But Arabella had known better. That canny, cagey and calculating old woman who talked enough to sail a ship with the amount of air she stirred through speech, had spared her that fate and given her the greatest gift of all. She’d put Hyacinth on the path to true love and then turned a blind eye to propriety to let her find it.
“If we have a daughter, we should name her Arabella.”
She felt his smile against her shoulder. “We will. And, as I’m fairly certain that woman will live forever, I vow to you in this moment, she will never act as our daughter’s chaperone.”
Hyacinth laughed at that, but her laughter quickly faded as he kissed her again. “Surely not so soon?”
“I’ve been waiting for a very long time, Wife. Now, hush. Let us use our lips for better things than talking.”
“Convince me,” she said with a wicked grin of her own.
And he did.
