Tessa reached for his shirt buttons.

Kris gave her a wicked grin. “Yes, you will need to keep up your strength,” he said, dropping onto the couch.

EPILOGUE

Eight months later

Kris drove the SUV along the meandering path. He hadn’t maneuvered through snow in years, and he wasn’t about to end up an in accident. Not on his honeymoon.

He stole a glance at Tessa as she hummed quietly. His grin, a recent fixture, widened even more.

Life was good.

A whole wing of the Colorado resort was taken up by family members eager to welcome him back. Sofia, after fulfilling her duties as best man, had coaxed her husband to the dance floor. Monica’s parents tried talking them into staying with the group, but the possibility of ending up snowbound was just too tempting to pass up.

He pulled up in front of a large, one-room cabin and gave her a quick kiss. “Hold on.” After checking the area, he went around and picked her up, wedding dress and all, to carry her up a shoveled path.

Once inside the cozy cabin, he released her to slide down his body while he nibbled on her earlobe. Crinoline rustled around them as he set her away to toss off his coat.

She looked around for their luggage as she removed her coat. “Our bags?”

He smiled. “We can get them tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

“You really have anything in there you need tonight, Little Fox?” His hands wrapped around the flare of her hips to bring her close.

She peeked up through her lashes. “Not really.” She put two fingers into the shirt placket and pulled him down. “Glad you decided to use a white shirt, though.”

He chuckled deep in his chest as he backed her toward the bed.


Te amo, precios
a.”

“I love you, too.”
