Chapter 181: Ashes and Rain

 Delaney looked up and felt like her heart might fall from her chest.

 "Vincent!"

 Her husband's leg was hurting him but he still rushed forward as fast as he could falling to his knees in the mud in front of her.

 "Delaney what are you..."

 He didn't get a chance to finish his question as she threw her arms around him and pulled him to her, pressing her lips to his in a desperate kiss. He didn't seem to mind as he held her against his chest and eagerly kissed her back, one hand sliding over her cheek and cradling her face.

   Tears mixed with the rain and ash as they slid down Delaney's cheeks. She was so relieved to find Vincent safe and sound she felt as if she would burst. When their lips came apart she giggled through her tears as she took his scarred face in her hands, reveling in the feeling of his unnatural heat against her skin. She looked him over as she lightly traced a scar with her thumb.
