“Agreed,” he said, wrapping his arms around her middle and pressing his lips to the tender spot below her ear.
“What will you do now?” she asked tentatively, ducking her face away so he couldn’t see how nervous she was about his answer.
“I guess I can’t still get my revenge?” he asked disappointedly.
“No!” she said, turning back to see the mischievous teasing in his eyes. “The real witch is dead, you’ll just have to be satisfied with that. And Seda did her best to make up for it.”
“Yes, I suppose if I hadn’t been cursed, I wouldn’t be the happiest I’ve ever been.” His eyes sparkled with intent and he glanced at the locked front door. “We should take advantage of the shop being closed right now since I’m sure we’ll have twice as many customers tomorrow.”
He stood up, pulling her with him and aiming her toward the stairs. She liked where his thoughts clearly lay and ended up pulling him along behind her, before what he said sank in.
“We?” she asked. “You want to keep working with me here in the shop?”
“Didn’t you say I had a talent for it?” He waited for her incredulous nod, continuing, “I was in a living death for five centuries, and finally woke up in Valhalla. How could I leave?” He paused in the upstairs hallway, playfully tugging at her hand. “Only one thing could make it more perfect.”
“Perhaps I could finally have permission to go in your room?” He nodded at her tightly closed door.
She laughed and flung it open, holding out her hand for him to enter. “Our room,” she said. “And that’s too easy. I want to give you so much more.”
He took her in his arms and grinned down at her. “I’m sure I can think of something else.”
