n the part where I said I’d fallen in love with you, that part couldn’t have been truer.”
His grin managed to be tender and triumphant at once. Colleen sighed when he pressed his long, hard body against hers. “I’ve been falling in love with you ever since Brendan’s surgery. No…since Sunset Beach, even if I didn’t recognize the symptoms then. If you’d have let me near you, I probably would have begun this delicate procedure a long time ago.”
Colleen laughed, and more tears of happiness spilled down her cheeks, wetting his fingers. “That would have been far too easy.”
“Maybe so,” he said quietly, his mouth just inches from hers. “Our way of doing things was pretty damn perfect.”
“At least it wasn’t a boring romance,” she whispered, brushing her lips against his.
“Life with you is never going to be boring,” Eric muttered before he dipped his head, claiming Colleen utterly and completely with a searing kiss.
