Chapter Nineteen

The only thing Brant knew was that he couldn’t let go of Darcy. The shockwaves sent them flying through the air, and he tucked her tightly against his body and turned so he’d take the brunt of the fall.

He landed with the force of a thousand men, and he stared up as the sun began to trickle through the leaves above him, and he wondered if this was the white light everyone talked about. He couldn’t breathe and he had no feeling in his limbs, so he figured this must be it.

And then his lungs started to work and he inhaled in a deep gasp of air, even as the feeling came back to his limbs in the form of pain. Not heaven. And then the woman he still held tightly in his arms moved and lifted her head so he could see those bright blue eyes, and he decided maybe it was heaven after all.

“Brant,” she said. And then she burst into tears, burying her head against his chest as her tears soaked straight through what was left of his shirt.

“It’s all right, sugar,” he said, pulling her closer. “I’ve got you. I’ve got you.” He buried his face against her hair and breathed her in. “And I’m never letting you go. I love you, Darcy.”

Her head jerked up, and if he’d been a hair slower, she’d have headbutted him in the chin.

“What?” she asked. “What did you say?”

Chaos reigned around them as helicopters started circling overhead and shouts and orders were carried out with equal urgency. He should get up and help get things organized, but he only had one thing on his mind at the moment—holding on to Darcy as if his life depended on it. He was through running and making excuses. Love did exist, and it was right there in his arms.

He rolled her to her back, the ground a soft carpet of moss and leaves, and he leaned down so they were eye to eye. Tears continued to fall, and he wasn’t so sure a few of them didn’t belong to him.

“I said I love you. It’s no illusion. And I can’t live the rest of my life without you beside me. It’s always been you,” he said, repeating the words she’d once told him. And then his mouth found hers, and all the aches and pains disappeared as her touch soothed his body and soul. It was a kiss of longing and of new beginnings, filled with sweetness and the promise of things to come.

Something nudged him in the side, and he barely noticed, so focused on the heat of Darcy’s mouth and the way she felt beneath him. And then something a little sharper kicked him in the side, and he grunted as he looked up to see two disgruntled MacKenzies standing over them.

Darcy buried her face against his neck, and he could feel her silent laughter, but he wasn’t the least bit amused.

“What the hell do you two want? Go away.
