His heart fucking exploded with joy as he clutched her close and pressed a sweet kiss to her lips. “Thank you for that.”
Somehow, some way, his gut had led him to this woman from the moment he’d laid eyes on her. She’d come to feel the same way, and had been willing to fight for their happily-ever-after. He felt like the luckiest bastard in the world.
“You know, Kata, ‘Sir’ is someone you’re testing out, to see if you can share a relationship. ‘Master’ is the man you intend to stay with.” He held her hand, relieved to still see that band of gold he’d put on her finger all those months ago. “Surrender to me forever?”
She reached up and cupped his jaw, bringing her mouth to his for a slow kiss that was a sharing of breaths and souls. “Yeah, Master. Forever is how long I intend to love you.”
