Bab 331: Wife

GAHRYE

Kalle, gasping, kissed him, deep, and frantic, and he was stunned.

He'd expected to have to lay out his plans, to show her that he was a male who would provide and ensure she was safe. An Anima female—even one in love, one who'd found their true mate—would make a show of thinking through what he offered, asking questions, and ensuring he truly sought to join with her. He'd expected Kalle to at least pretend to consider his proposal. To perhaps ask him questions. But she just launched herself at him, clinging to him, tears on her cheeks, and kept whispering "Yes!" against his lips.

Overwhelmed, Gahrye stood up slowly, still kissing her, wrapping his arms around her and holding her to his chest, his hands shaking and his breath thundering. But he wasn't finished. He had to… had to do all of this.
