Not too fucking sure why it was happening now, but as long as she was letting me get away with it, I wasn’t gonna be the one to endit.
“If we do this,” she said slowly, swallowing, “you can’t tell anyone. It’s just you and me and Dizzy. No oneelse.”
“No oneelse.”
“And you have to make the arrangementsyourself.” Her tone said there was no way in hell she thought Iwould.
“Noproblem.”
“Right,” shesaid.
Zero faith inme.
Jesus.When, exactly, had I fucked things up so royally with thisgirl?
No secret she’d been keeping my shit together for years, but that’s because Ilikedher keeping my shit together. Didn’t mean I was a fuckingmoron.
“I make the arrangements,” I said carefully, slowly, so she couldn’t pretend she’d misheard me. “We go do this. No excuses, no backing out. No Maggie May overthinking things bullshit. No blaming me if they don’t have an Elvis impersonator available to officiate our shit or whatever. You say yes, you own it. You follow through with it. And I promise you, we’ll make that prick of a father of yours eat his fuckingwords.”
She narrowed her gray eyes at me, but I saw the sparkle in them. Tears. The idea of sticking it to Dizzy was just too sweet toresist.
And maybe it wasn’t the best marriage proposal in the history of man, but it would have to fucking do. Not like I planned thisshit.
Planning was for Maggie. I was more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of guy. Hadn’t failed me yet. I was still alive. Plus, I had Maggie beneath me, her heart pounding againstmine.
“Either that, or I kill him,” I told her casually, running my thumb across her lip. “Your call, MaggieMay.”
“You don’t have to kill him,” she said, sniffing just a bit. “He’s a douche but he doesn’t deserve to die. I already lost my mom and my stepdad. I don’t need to lose him,too.”
Shit. That prick didn’t come close to deserving this girl’s love orforgiveness.
“Have it your way,” I said. “But that’s not a yes. I’ve gotta hear it from yourlips.”
She rolled her eyes. “Yes.”
“Fuckingfinally.”
I took my time getting up, re-arranging my throbbing dick in my jeans. Yeah… probably shouldn’t have told her we could do this withoutsex.
Not sure what I was thinking on thatone.
I looked down at her, lying there in her robe all askew. Her dark hair spread out around her face. Her wide gray eyes looking up at me, a little hazy from champagne… so fuckingpretty.
I shook myhead.
“Now get your ass up, woman, and go put on the best dress you’vegot.”
Ten minuteslater I had a car service booked and I was almost ready togo.
It took all of one phone call to the concierge to make the arrangements. So maybe I didn’t do itallmyself, but I didn’t give them my name, just our room, which was in Maggie’s name. If she didn’t want me to tell anyone, I could do this shitincognito.
Felt a little strange not bringing my boys into it, though. Jesse, Jude and Brody had been like brothers to me since we were kids, and getting married was one of those things I would’ve thought they’d be here for, either to have my back, or to talk me out ofit.
No fucking way I wanted to be talked out of this thing with Maggie,though.
If she couldn’t talk me out of it, no onecould.
I walked into the master bathroom, shaking my head. Maggie. Fucking ball-buster.
