Page 53 of Rafa's Convenient Wife

“Nope. Thank your lucky stars we’ve only got miniature donkeys and rabbits to worry about and not camels and zebras.”

Holding his wife, Rafa nuzzled her cheek and tenderly kissed her temple. “I love you, Sky.”

“I love you, Rafa.” She yawned again and made a happy little sound as she relaxed in his arms.

As she slowly drifted to sleep, he marveled at this woman who had agreed to share her life with him. Not so long ago, she had been totally forbidden to him. Then, she had been the most convenient choice.

Now?

Now, she was the most beloved.

If the last few months had taught him anything, it was that life wasn’t guaranteed. All he had was right now, right this moment. He was going to live each day to the fullest and love his wife and Jasper and his family with every single beat of his heart.

He was done with regrets. From now on, he was choosing joy. He was choosing happiness.

He was choosing Sky.

Mi amor.

My wife.

My reason for being.
