Darc shifted his legs under the table to relieve the pressure of his lower half. Looking at Caroline in front of his friends the way he was boded no good outcome. Then again, he looked at the faces around him. They were not doing much better than he. Throughout the evening he had seen their eyes following and watching their own wives with the same hot need in their own glances. Darc shook his head and downed his wine.

The evening was more than pleasant. Good food, drink and great company. He was glad Goran was getting married here. The loyal man had stood by them all when they needed him, especially to the Dark Axe.

Looking away from his wife’s lovely blush he gazed into the fire with one ear open to the men as Aric launched into another tale taking them down memory lane.

Darc’s thoughts turned back to his wife. As the months passed since she’d forgiven him, his heart continued to burn and grow each day with love for his mighty wife and strong mother to their children.

She seemed her happiest when she was with Cal, Kelbie and Audri. The serene expression that came to her face stole his breath each time. He hoped never to lose that feeling.

He felt his lips curl up now as he looked above the mantle of the large stone hearth. The lit candles adorning the top were ones he had made. Though some were still crooked, a couple bowed to the side, he noted his wife had carefully placed his straight ones in the front. His chest overflowed with pride.

He was a happy man. He’d been given a second chance.

The joy and solidarity of his family and the love of his Saxon wife were his many blessings. No place was like home to him except when he was in Caroline’s arms.

Aric’s words drew him back into the conversation. ‘Your lady has done a wonderful job, Darc. If tonight’s feast is any indication of what the morrow will bring, I fear I will not be able to move for weeks.’

Rourke and Goran nodded their heads in agreement and shared a toast. With Goran commenting, ‘Aye. A fine feast indeed. No need to have gone through such trouble. My Em and I appreciate all her hard work, but we don’t need such fanciful and savory platters as these.’

‘Aye, you deserve it. She would do no less.’ Darc stated, his eyes going back to his wife. She was laughing and blushing at something the women had said.

Aric drew sat back with a smile as he watched Darc. ‘She is little more than a sprite.’

‘Nay, she is much more than that.’ Darc answered. They all smiled with a nod each thinking along the same lines as he. They had found the women to make them whole.
