It would always be this way, Gabrielle thought some time later. She was wrapped in his long shirt and in his arms, enjoying the glittering Rome night from his balcony. She leaned back into his embrace, smiling.

There would be no ordinary Thursdays in their marriage, there would be only Luc. He would not be easy, and perhaps she would not be either. But they would have this passion—this wild, sweet fire that burned them both into ash—again and again. She wanted him still—again. Always.

“I will get back what you paid that little toad,” Luc promised her suddenly. She could feel his voice rumble in his chest and through her. “He will not profit from my wife for a tape that does not exist. To the tune of ten thousand pounds, no less!”

“I don’t care about it,” Gabrielle murmured, tilting her head back to nestle against him. “I never even looked at it.”

“I care.” His voice was implacable. “It is the principle. He will no doubt turn it into another series of stories, but that is of no matter to me. Let him. But he will pay you back the money he extorted, this I promise you.”

Gabrielle smiled. If he no longer cared about the tabloids, then things really had changed. What had started as a vain hope mixed with a deep resolve, and had bloomed during their impassioned lovemaking, now burst into light inside her.

They would make it. It would be all right. This was as it should be—finally.

“If you wish it,” she said.

“How can you love such a man as me?” he asked her, his tone deceptively light. When she turned to face him, his eyes were hard on hers. “One who abuses you so terribly, chases you and then abandons you, believes the worst of you, accuses you of every sin imaginable?”

Gabrielle reached over and laid her hand against his cheek, making both of them take a quick, startled breath in response to the electric heat that arced between them, as if they had not made love three times already. She traced the shape of his lean jaw, then curled her fingers around his neck.

She would love this man forever.

“Well, Luc,” she said, and smiled, letting him see all the light and hope and love she carried inside her. “See that it does not happen again.”

He muttered a soft curse, or perhaps it was her name, and crushed his mouth to hers.

And Gabrielle knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they had both found their way home.

At last.
