smiles at me and returns his attention back to Daniel.
“The kids are welcome to come if you want to bring them,” Malcolm says.
“ I doubt the boys will,” Daniel chuckles, “but Bai will want to come.”
“ I would love for her and Lucas to spend some time together,” I tell Daniel, remembering what I once thought about the two of them forming a lasting friendship. It would be nice if Lucas had someone his own age who understood the world of angels and demons and who would always be a part of his life.
“ Then I'll make sure to bring her,” Daniel promises. “We'll see you both tonight.”
Daniel phases, leaving Malcolm and me alone.
“ I guess I should have asked you first,” Malcolm says almost apologetically. “I just thought you would want to have the wedding as soon as possible.”
The look of uncertainty on Malcolm's face pushes me into action.
I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him soundly on the lips, deepening it to a point where I leave my future husband breathless. When I finally relent, I pull back and look at him.
“ Of course I want to do it as soon as possible,” I tell him. “I would do it right this minute if I could.”
Malcolm smiles and leans in to nuzzle my neck with his lips.
“Good,” he says against my throat. “Because I don't think I can wait much longer to have you in my bed.”
I giggle and reply, “That goes both ways.”
Malcolm lifts his head and looks at me.
“I don't want you to worry about the seals anymore today,” he tells me. “It's your wedding day, Anna, and I plan to make it a day and night you won't ever forget.”
“ I plan to keep you to that promise,” I tell him, bringing his head down to mine. “Now kiss me, Malcolm, because it will be the last one we share until God officially makes you mine.”
Malcolm kisses me with an intensity that makes me wish we had already exchanged our vows. I simply keep in mind that it won't be too much longer, and I send up a silent prayer asking that nothing happens this time to delay our union.
Chapter 5
Malcolm doesn’t release me from his kiss for a very long time. Not that I was about to complain. If it had been left up to me, I would have taken full advantage of the situation and phased us directly to the honeymoon stage of today’s events. The only reason I didn’t was because we were so close to Malcolm’s goal, and I knew how important it was to him for us to do everything properly. I wasn’t going to rush him just to satisfy my own physical needs, even if they were great…and becoming increasingly demanding for some reason.
Malcolm eventually pulls his lips away from mine but gently touches our foreheads together, keeping our physical connection to one another. His eyes remain closed, and his breathing is even and deep. He doesn’t say anything, and I don’t rush him. He’s had a rough day, and I’ve been the major cause of his worry. I would move all three planes of existence if I thought it would ease his burden.
“ Are you all right?” I ask him, taking both of his hands into mine, enjoying the comfort the warmth of his skin has always provided me.
“ I will be,” Malcolm replies, keeping his eyes closed.
“ Is there anything I can do to help you?”
Malcolm’s eyelids flutter open and he leans his face away only a fraction of an inch from mine to say, “Stay alive.”
“ I have no intention of dying,” I assure him. “I have too much I want to do, like having your babies.”
Malcolm grins, and I see a little bit of his tension ease at the reminder of our son’s prophecy.
“Thank God for Lucas’ gift,” Malcolm says. “Otherwise, I might go completely insane with worry.”
“ Speaking of Lucas’ ability to see the future,” I say, “he had a vision while you were away.”
Malcolm sits back slightly at hearing this news and looks alert. “What did he see?”
“ He said he saw a war,” I tell him. “He said you, me, and the others were in the
