Chapter Eight
ASHER
Jane stares at me. “Well?” I prompt. I’m trying to wrestle my body’s powerful response to her under control.
She takes a quick breath. “I’ll do it.”
Satisfaction surges inside me. I traveled here hoping to find my bride, but this with Jane is so much more than I expected. I was prepared to compromise. To simply find someone suitable. But for us to truly be linked? It was all I wanted. She is all I want.
“What do I need to do now?” she asks.
“We need Helena.”
I stand quickly, and I’m about to walk to the door when I turn back. Jane stands and starts to follow me. I stop in front of her, reaching for both of her hands. “The next few days will feel rushed, but I promise you it will be okay.”
She blinks at me. “Okay.”
