His Dark Promise (Siren Publishing Classic) (13 page)

Holly dropped her carry-on bags to the floor and ran over to him as soon as the words left his lips. She wrapped herself tightly around him and was grateful that he reacted quickly enough to catch her in his arms. “Whoa, what’s all this? I thought we just said good-bye, darlin’.”

Peppering his face with soft little kisses, Holly whispered ever so quietly to him. “I don’t want to leave you, Travis. You’re the very best thing that has ever happened to me. How can I leave you to fly off into the sunset to a place I know no one in, when my heart will always be here with you?”

“And you’re the very best thing that has happened to me, sweet darlin’.” He smacked her on the ass and then said to her with a gruff voice filled with the same emotions she was feeling. “Now toughen up, darlin’, and get that sexy little butt of yours on that plane.”

For what felt like the first time tonight, Holly spoke from the heart as she untangled her body from his. “I love you, Travis, with all that I am and with everything I have to offer you.”

“I love you too, Holly. Now go or you’ll miss your flight altogether.”

“There are worse things in the world to miss than a plane, Mr. Kane.” Holly turned away from him then and walked back to retrieve her bags from the floor.

“Right, sweet darlin’, be prepared for a little spanking session when I arrive in London. And soon.”

Holly giggled at him as she dried her eyes with the back of her hand. Holding her head up high, ready to embrace her new adventure, and with her man waiting for her to return, she turned to him, gave him a wink and blew him a kiss then walked down the hall with all the other boarding passengers. She could hear his answering growl, even over the noise of the airport. It made her all the more eager to get to London so she could tease him with a sexy video call, just like he asked her to do. And she had the perfect little lacy number stowed away in her suitcase guaranteed to stir more than just his heart.

Yeah, the year ahead was going to have its ups and downs, and being apart, especially being overseas, was going to be difficult at times. However, it wasn’t forever, the distance thing, just like he said. And this time next year she would be arriving back to the country she loved, to the place she called home, and to the man who loved her more than his next breath. Plus, she already had a date for next year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations, and there weren’t too many other women
who
could say they had one.

And the best part of all, Travis Kane was going to wait for her. He had laid his heart on the line for her today, all the while knowing there was a chance she could knock him back again. His public display of affection showed her that he was fair dinkum about committing to not just her, but also to their long-distance relationship. No matter how badly his balls hurt from not having her in his bed night after night. Yep, she was most definitely
his
girl all right, just like he was her man and always would be.
