I kiss her softly. “I was planning on doing it at midnight. I wanted to start your birthday off with a bang, but then I saw you in this dress, and I couldn’t wait another second.”
“Do you mean a proper marriage proposal and then a literal bang?” She grins. “As in…you know.”
“I know.” I perk a brow. “A fuck to celebrate that proper proposal.”
She lowers her voice. “I’ll still want that first part when we get home tonight.”
I nod. “Oh, that’s happening.”
“Good.” Her hand skims the front of her neck. “You should know that I got a message from Rochelle late last night telling me she knew she could get a lot of money if she sold a picture she took of us in the chapel to RumorMel.”
“Fucking RumorMel.” I laugh at her mention of one of the most popular gossip websites in the world.
I hadn’t heard of it before today when Rochelle brought it up during our conversation.
“You could have come to me with this, Gina.”
She shrugs a shoulder. “Our wedding wasn’t perfect, Daniel, but it belonged to us. Knowing someone was trying to profit off of it felt wrong. Besides, if she did snap a picture of us in the chapel, she’s had it for weeks and hasn’t sold it yet. I think she was hoping we’d offer her whatever you gave Destiny and Angel.”
“I will if it’s what you want.”
Gina steps closer to me. “I don’t want that. I don’t care if the entire world knows we’re married, Daniel. I do care about my family. I want to tell them before they see or read about it from anyone else.”
I glance at my watch. “Rochelle said she’ll sell that picture to RumorMel if I don’t send her something tonight.”
“I don’t even know if RumorMel would be interested in a picture of me getting married.” She laughs softly. “They’ve only posted about me once, and that was to compare my look to an Oscar winning actress. I wore the same outfit she did to a gala.”
I smile. “You looked better that night, Gina.”
She smacks the center of my chest lightly. “You don’t even know what I was wearing or who the actress was.”
“It doesn’t matter.” I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. “You always look better than anyone.”
“You think that because you love me.”
“Damn right, I do.” I kiss her forehead. “I will love you for eternity.”
“Regardless of what Rochelle does with that picture, we need to tell my family.” Her bottom lip trembles. “It would break my heart if they heard about it from anyone but me. We should tell them tonight.”
I can’t contain a smile. “Let’s do one better than that.”
“What do you mean?”
“Marry me again tonight, Lawton.” I stare at her. “At Calvetti’s. You’re dressed for it. I look pretty sharp tonight. We’ll pick up some carnations on the way…”
“And a bouquet for my maid of honor?” she asks with hope in her eyes.
“Anything you want, baby.” I take her in my arms. “Are you in?”
“I’m all in,” she answers in a breathy tone. “I’ll post to my socials about us after we renew our vows in front of my family. I want the entire world to know I’m Gina Lawton now.”
CHAPTERFIFTY-SEVEN
Gina
As the carwe are in heads toward Calvetti’s, I glance at my husband. “I love that you came to Howerton House tonight. It was my birthday wish come true.”
He scoops my left hand in his right.
