Page 19 of Marked By Her Dragon

Carefully pulling the ribbon, she untied the perfectly crafted bow and laid the ribbon across Jack’s chest.

“Oh, yeah, I get unwrapped next, right?”

“Only if you behave….”

And that was all she could say. Nothing could’ve prepared Macy for what she saw when the lid on the box lifted. Stammering and stuttering, she was glad Jack could read her mind. “Oh my… When did you…? How did you?”

Sparing her any more verbal diarrhea, the best man she'd ever known - besides her daddy - leaned forward and kissed her as a distraction. Then taking the breathtaking Peridot and diamond ring from its velvet pillow, he slid the ring on her finger then solemnly declared, "Now and forever, until the end of all time, in this world and the next, I, Jackson Matthew Thorntree II promise to love you with all my heart, put your needs before mine, and keep you safe from all harm. I love you, Macy, more than any man has ever loved any woman, and I will spend every moment of every day making you proud to call me your Mate."

"Oh, Jack, I love you." Macy gushed, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him close. "I loved you the first time I saw you, and I love you now. You've got nothing to prove to me."

“No man has ever been luckier. I love you, Macy, and I always will.”

And as she drifted off to sleep in the arms of the man she was meant to love, Macy Jane Lindon- soon-to-be-Thorntree, DVM, knew everything would always be okay because she was madly, wildly in love with the man of her dreams and marked by a Dragon she adored more than life itself.
