Her eyes widen. “We don’t have to rush into this.”
“Yes, we do.”
“Why?” she whispers.
“Because we’ve wasted too much time already and I want to start our life together.”
“Okay.” She grins. “Well, slide it on.”
I don’t waste any time sliding the platinum band with a four-carat diamond onto her left ring finger.
She lifts her hand. “Had I known this was the ring in the drawer, I might not have left.” She laughs and I climb on her, tickling her ribs. She squirms. “I’m joking.”
I kiss the palm of her left hand and where the ring rests on her finger. “We should have—”
She places her fingers on my lips. “No regrets. We only look toward the future. Okay?”
“Deal. What do you want for the rest of your life?”
“You. Just you.”
“That’s it?” I arch an eyebrow.
“And maybe a few kids and a dog?”
“Sounds perfect to me.” I kiss her, swearing I’ll never stop for the rest of my life.

“Now you’ve seen me in the dress!” I whine as Rylan continues to cover my eyes even though I have a blindfold on. “Plus, my hair and my fake lashes.”
“I already saw you in this amazing dress, and it’s been torture having to imagine unzipping you out of it for months.” His hand slides down and gives my ass a light slap. “Second, you’re beautiful.”
We waited until his season ended, but he planned the entire wedding. I didn’t lift a finger, and I was okay with that. We’ve kept it to just our immediate families—which are still over forty people—plus Declan and Aubrey and a few players and their wives.
“What kind of music is that?” I ask.
Rylan blows out a breath. “Can you please be patient? Now this is where I leave you. Your dad is right here.” He positions my hand on what I guess is my dad’s arm.
“Hey, sweetheart,” my dad says.
“See you in a few.” Rylan kisses my lips.
“Rylan, you can’t kiss me before the officiant says you can!” All I hear is his echoing laughter getting farther away.
“Dad, what’s going on? Who does this to their bride on their wedding day?”
My dad chuckles. “The love of your life apparently.”
“Stop having hurt feelings. You’ll always be my daddy.”
“Uh-huh.”
