Chapter 59

Our Vulnerability

"Are you taking your fertility control every day?" Claude asked as soon as we were done making love to my bed. He even gathered me in his arms as I snuggled closer with him.

"Hmm." I nodded. "I never fail to forget and take it." I caressed his cheek while I was leaning against his chest.

"Good to know. You are about to engage in the war so I do not want you to conceive yet because it will take away the part of leading the brigade," he said softly as he kissed the top of my head.

I nodded before I looked up to meet his eyes. "You are so considerate and willing to sacrifice for my sake, Claude. How can I do the same thing, returning the same fervour?" I asked as I felt my chest tighten, feeling emotional to have this man as my mate and my husband.

His gaze softened. "Ray, you do not have to do anything to return the same fervour. Just having you with me is enough that you are making me happy. Do you understand that, love?"

Love...
