"Will you marry me, Eve? Join your life with mine?” I asked.
I felt just as breathless as I had before she'd begun tattooing me, but twice as nervous, even though I was pretty confident she'd say 'yes.'
Eve’s eyes shimmered, full of love.
"You have no idea how much self-control it took to tattoo the design we agreed on, instead of the word 'mine.' Yes, Brady, I'll marry you."
I slid the ring along her finger. The antique setting glittered under the overhead light, the opal at the center flashing a rainbow of fire.
"It's beautiful," she breathed, tilting it under the light.
"My fiancé is a very talented artist. She has a good eye," I said, grinning.
"Is that your way of saying I wasn't subtle when I saw it?" she asked.
"Love, not even a little bit. But I appreciate you making it easy on me."
"Don't I always?" Eve asked, a teasing glint in her eye.
Laughter burst from my chest, half giddy, half relieved.
"Never, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you, Eve Pendleton."
"I love you, Brady Gleason."
“Easy, Tiger. The shades are still open.”
“See,shy. Just like fantasy Brady.”
I was tempted to argue but settled for kissing her senseless instead. There’d be plenty of time to prove I didn’t have a shy bone in my body when it came to her. A lifetime.
