“Iknewyou would open it.” His amused voice sounds behind me and I jump so hard, I almost yelp. “Gabe tried to tell me it was dangerous to leave something in the suitcase because it might end up getting checked without you noticing. But I told him, ‘Don’t worry. I know my Drew—she’lldefinitelyfind it.’”
“As if I would roll my clothes like that.” I sniff. But my false annoyance doesn’t mask the fact that I’m reeling. It’s a stunning ring in a velvet box and we’re going away on our first proper trip together...
“I guess I may as well do it now.” Flynn saunters toward me, his hips rolling in that way that still makes me weak at the knees. That I know will make me weak at the knees until the day I die. He drops down in front of me, bending one knee. “Melanie Drew Richardson, the last year has been the happiest of my life. You make me grow every day.”
“That’s what she said,” I say, but my words are choked up.
“Can we pause the sex jokes while I propose to you?” He grins, and I nod, my hands shaking so hard I have to white-knuckle the box so I don’t drop it. “I want to marry you, Drew. I want to listen to your dirty jokes every day. I want to tell the whole world that you make me a better man. Because waking up next to you is the best part of my day, followed by feeling your body next to mine at night.”
My heart flutters like a bird beating its wings against a cage. I knew things were going well, but this...it’s more than I could have hoped for.
“I love you, Drew. I love how you drive me crazy by making a mess. I love how you always wait up for me no matter how late I work. I love that you excite and surprise me every single day. I want to make it official.” He holds his hand out and I place the box in his palm. When he slips the ring onto my finger, the fit is so perfect I sigh. “Do you want to do this forever?”
I nod.
“Will you be my wife, Drew? Until we’re old and wrinkly and still so hot for each other?”
“Yes!” I push him to the floor, straddling him next to my suitcase. The box skitters across the bedroom floor and my ring glints as if in satisfaction. “I want to marry you, Flynn. I want us to be a family. And I want to be there when you turn into a silver fox.”
Flynn laughs and pulls my face down to his. “A silver fox, huh? Would you like me with grey hair?”
“I’ll like you at every stage of life.” I pepper kisses along his jaw. “You make me so happy.”
“You make me happy too, Blondie. More than I ever thought possible.” He looks up at me and I feel his love running through my veins. “So we’re doing this thing?”
“Hell, yeah.” I bring my lips down to his, rubbing my body over his in that way that makes him growl in my ear. It’s a sound I want to hear for the rest of my days. “You’re mine forever.”
