“Darling? Don’t you think we should get up, if only to let your crew know we’re alive?”

Lucca pulled her higher across his chest, trapping her with his powerful legs. “Every time the steward takes back another empty tray to the kitchen, he knows there are two people creating their own paradise.”

She covered his impossibly handsome face with kisses, unable to get enough of him. “But it’s been three days.”

“Is my wife embarrassed because we haven’t left the bedchamber in all that time?”

“No.” She slid her arms around his neck. Looking into his slumberous black eyes she said, “I don’t care if the whole world knows we’ve been this happy. Do you suppose Carlo has told your father?”

The smile she loved broke out on his face. “You mean, that we’ve been working on his grandchild day and night? There’s no doubt about it. Did I tell you I’ve been having the time of my life in the process? Come closer, you gorgeous thing.”

Alex needed no urging. Their mouths fused in passion. Once more the joy of making love with her husband surpassed all other experiences. There was no end to his giving or hers. At times the beauty of it brought her to tears.

“I don’t ever want to do anything else,” she admitted an hour later, temporarily sated by rapture. He looked down at her and his hands stilled in her hair. A look of profound seriousness had entered his eyes. “What is it?” she asked, so attuned to him already it was as if they were one.

“I never wanted to be king, but I’ve changed my mind.”

Her breath caught. “Why is that?”

“These past three days have shown me a whole new life. I’ve discovered I want to spend as much of it as possible with you. We’ll do everything together. Unlike most men who don’t take their wives to work, it’s expected that I involve you in the country’s affairs.

“What’s wonderful about the palace is that my home and my work place are under the same roof. We’ll always be together, always travel together.”

Alex couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “My secret dream growing up was to find one man who would love only me and want to be with me all the time, but I didn’t think it was possible.”

“It’s more than possible,” he said before plundering her mouth once more. Time passed before she became cognizant of it again. They ended up lying on their sides holding each other.

“I want to make up for all your years of loneliness.”

She cupped his handsome face in her hands. “You already have. I’m so happy it hurts, Lucca.”

“Then you have some idea of how I feel. To think I found you on the very day I’d given up hope of ever knowing true fulfillment.”

Alex ran a hand through his hair. “No one but a person like the Princess Sofia knows the kind of burden you’ve had to bear. Do you think Regina feels it the same way?”

“Yes,” he whispered against her lips.
