“Okay?” I ask.
“Yes,” she says, still somewhat sullen.
I lift my eyebrows. “Are we having our first fight?”
“Oh yeah, we definitely are.”
I grin and put my hands on her ass. “When can we get to the making up part?”
“Sometime when your brothers aren’t waiting for us in the next room,” she says.
When she finally smiles, I feel like I can breathe again. I bury my face in her neck.
“I love you,” I whisper against her skin.
When I lift my head, her lips are on mine, and it’s like coming home.
It was only yesterday, but it feels like a lifetime since I’ve kissed her. I want to strip her down and sink into her, show her that I am hers and she is mine, but there’s plenty of time for that.
Now that I know where she stands, I’m never letting her go.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
AVENGERS
RUBY
“The sight of you guys standing right behind Callum, all in your flannel, ready toavenge the wrong done to me,” I say, lifting my cup with those last words and then leaning into Callum and cracking up. “Ahhh, it was so good. I wish you could’ve seen them, Kess.”
It’s mid-afternoon and we’ve hung out with the emus, walked around the land, and had more than enough pizza and alcohol. A huge weight has lifted off of me, andeverything looks so much brighter than it did when I woke up this morning. I’m slap-happy and it’s not just from the drinks.
Kess has been here an hour and she still hasn’t recovered from how good-looking the Landmark brothers are. She also hasn’t recovered from the fact that I’m married to Callum, but she’s happy for me. She’ll make the trip to Landmark next month and I can’t wait for her to fall in love with the town. She keeps catching my eye when the guys aren’t looking and makes a face like,Are they even real?
I know. It’s a lot to take in at once. I feel that way just looking at my very own Landmark. He turns like he knows I’m thinking about him.
“What’s that look?” he asks.
Since our discussion in my room, his hands have been on me. Right now, my legs are tangled with his under the table and his arm is draped on the back of my chair, his hand tracing shapes along my back. I love it.
“Just that you’re mine and I’m really glad about it,” I say.
He shifts and whispers in my ear, “Iamyours.”
“So, have any decisions been made yet, or is it still up for discussion?” Sutton says, and everyone gets quiet and looks at us.
“Decisions about what exactly?” Callum asks.
Sutton looks at him likecome on now.
There’s a long, quiet pause, and Callum looks at me.
“There’s a lot to consider, and we haven’t gotten into all of it yet,” he says. “But, I’ll be wherever Ruby is.”
“Awww,” Kess cries, as my already-mush heart melts even more.
There’s a lot of back-slapping and the guys start teasing Callum about being whipped.
He lifts a shoulder. “Yep.”
