CHAPTER 278

They spent the next few seconds kissing and enjoying the warmth and love the other possessed and gave.

He broke from the kiss and caressed her cheeks softly with their faces only inches away from each other. He loved every second he could get staring into her beautiful black orbs. They had their own flicker of life hidden there.

With tender loving eyes, Aramis's eyes glistened with joy in them and he pressed his lips on hers again.

After a few seconds, he broke free and whispered the best words she could have thought she heard that day.

"I love you."

"Than…" she wanted to thank him but he did not give her the luxury of that and pulled her with him.

After all, Xander had given him the go-ahead to have time with their loved ones before their strategic meeting.

"Come."

Together they went inside the house to a place more comfortable for their dealings.
