It was impossible not to smile when Magnus kissed his palms and maneuvered him so that he held her close. The purr drew a quiet sigh from him, easing his fears temporarily at least.

His hands smoothed along her back as she kissed him, shivering at the feeling of teeth against his ear. "Magna... I love you too." Pulling her closer, he buried his face in her hair, hating that her dreams confirmed what he wanted to believe was just senseless worry. "We'll face whatever you dreamed of together. We'll be careful."

Pulling away slightly, he looked into her eyes, his expression determined. "I won't let him hurt my family. I'm not losing any of you."

Noticing how tired she looked, he pushed aside thoughts of Sebastian to focus on his love. "We can. You need to rest or Catarina will chase after us both." Before she could protest, he swept Magnus up into his arms, settling her against his chest before kissing her jaw. "Maybe we should talk about happier things now that we've promised to be careful?"
