“I know. Which is why this is such a wonder and you need to see it with your own eyes.”
I sighed. “If this is to look at your cock, we’re going to end up in a fight.”
He laughed. “You already had a view of my cock this morning. And I appreciate being your cure for insomnia at three am.”
I blushed. “Orgasms put me to sleep.”
“Say it a little louder, love. I don’t think the whole of the town heard you.”
“No one—wow.” I stepped down to see a line of people waiting on the sidewalk. In fact, the line was around the building Macy was renovating for her new secret project and past the stationery store. “They’re waiting for me?”
“Yep.”
“But I don’t open for another hour.”
“I know.”
“Should I open early?”
“Nah, let them wait.” He lowered his mouth to mine in a sweet kiss. “Gives me a minute to be selfish.”
I grinned into his kiss. “I like when you’re selfish.”
“I hope so.”
I cupped his face. The scruff was becoming a part of him. Not quite a beard, but definitely not as Los Angeles as he’d been when I first met him. The little smile lines next to his eyes were blooming and his skin was getting tan from working on the truck during the long summer days.
“I love you.”
“Ah, fairy queen. I’ll never tire of hearing that. In fact, I’m certain of it.” He dropped to one knee and my stomach went into a free-fall.
“Oh my God.”
“I know today is your day and God knows I’ve tried to figure out the perfect time to do this, but in the end, all I can think about is getting my ring on your finger. I love you madly, completely, and with everything in me.” He pulled a black box out of his pocket and flipped it open. “Marry me, Ivy Rose Beck.”
The ring was…huge.
“Holy shit.”
Epically huge with the widest diamond I’d ever seen in all my life.
“Big ring for a big love, right?”
“Rory, my God.” I didn’t even know what to do with a ring like that.
“You’re killing me here.”
“Yes!” I crouched in front of him and wobbled a little, thanks to a baby screwing with my center of gravity. “Yes, a million times yes. I’ll marry you.”
He slid the ring on my finger and I was literally blinded. Tears made it shine even brighter, if that was possible. I wrapped my arms around him.
Someone in the line must have figured out there was a proposal going on. The clapping started and wolf whistles followed as he helped me up.
“All right, thank you.” Rory waved and ducked his head.
“You’re the one who asked me in front of the whole town.”
“Yeah, it seemed better in my head than the reality of it.”
