Chapter Five

His Loving Arms

As Morgan raced into Alex’s arms, she couldn’t have been more aware that this could be the very last time she’d ever see him. Mira had provided this unexpected gift for her, and she couldn’t have be more grateful for this small slip of a moment in time. She would take this with her when she finally faced the Witch of the Everwood—who had held a curse over her head for more than a millennium.

Alex pulled her up off the ground, holding her to him for a long moment, and she could feel his relief at finding her unharmed. She hadn’t appreciated just how hard this had to be for him—until that moment.

How difficult it must be for him, she thought, for a man who wanted to protect his woman—to have to let her go and fight a battle that he couldn’t begin to protect her from….

How he had to respect her destiny, not to fight her on such a thing.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she met his kiss. He deepened it, then picked her up, setting her on the bed, running his hands down her body, where they remained for much of the evening.

The next morning, they walked one of the paths leading out of the village, while they talked. She told him about how Mira had worked with her to become one with the wand. At one point, he squeezed her hand while he listened.

“Does she have anything to say about the battle itself?” he asked her.

Shaking her head, she turned, looking up at him. The sun reflected off the glint in his dark eyes. She knew he worried. She reach up and gently touched his face, running a finger along his strong jaw. “Anything she had to say to me, besides how to battle itself, could cause me to overthink it—and that could be a really bad thing.” Touching his arm, she took her hand down and looked away. “She says only to trust my instincts.”

He nodded, pulling her back to him. Lifting her hand in his, he kissed her fingers. “You have great instincts,” he told her. “Look at who you picked to walk beside you in this life.”

She grinned, then stood up on her tippy-toes to plant a sweet kiss on his full lips. “I love you, Alex Parker,” she said.

His head jerked up as his eyes searched hers. She had never said that to him before. She could see how much her words had moved him, reflected there in the deep, liquid pool of his gaze as he pulled her close.

“I love you, too,” he said to her.

They finished walking the path around the village, hand-in-hand, and eventually returned to the little cottage. But no matter how each of them would have liked to delay it, the time had come for them to part—and Morgan felt the weight of that fact, deep within her chest. She didn’t want to say goodbye to him—not even for a little while—not ever.

Tears shimmered in her eyes as he gave her one last, poignant kiss.
