I seriously lost it, like there-was-no-hope-for-the-makeup lost it. I recognized the gold band from my mother’s first wedding ring and the round diamond from her second. They were so beautiful together. Like they were meant to be one.
“Emma Elaine Loveless, I love you, will you marry me under the pergola?”
Words escaped me when I realized I would no longer be loveless. My mom whispered I never was and to hurry up and answer the man. I nodded my response furiously.
“Is that a yes?”
“Yes!” I shouted, making everyone laugh.
Sawyer placed the ring on my finger before standing up and kissing me like we were alone. A dipping me down, parting my lips, tingles everywhere, and hands for days kind of a kiss. Holy crap, I wanted to be alone with him. When we came up for air, I realized everyone was clapping and the music had started again. Sawyer pulled me close to him. We began to sway to the beat of the music.
I skimmed his lips with my own. “You realize we’re still related.”
“I guess that makes me your wicked stepbrother,” he groaned low in my ear.
I played with the curls in the back of his hair while I stared into his beautiful amber eyes. “You’re not so wicked.”
His hand glided down my back, entering the danger zone while he pulled me as close as he could. “Believe me, Em,” he whispered in my ear, “I can be wicked. Very wicked.”
