“At a bar,” Brynn corrected. “So I never have to see his beautiful face again afterward.”
Tatum and Rafael grinned, and Zander snorted.

MILEY
A few hours later,we reached the cabin. Zander wanted to stop and change for some reason, so Bash dropped him and I off and drove the rest of them to the resort.
The cabin was a masterpiece of glass windows I couldn’t see through from the outside, and gorgeous, dark wood that both blended in and stood out against the forest.
“You could’ve changed in the car,” I pointed out, as Zander typed a code into his phone to open the door.
“It’ll only take a minute, and we can walk there in less than ten” he said, as the lock finally clicked.
He tugged me inside.
“That doesn’t sound safe for—ohh.” My jaw dropped at the sight of roses.
So many roses.
They flooded the whole cabin’s interior in shades of red and pink.
“What is this?” I looked around the cabin, and saw balloons.
And expensive, stiff-looking modern furniture.
And more roses.
“I told you I had a plan.” Zander flashed me a grin, and led me further inside the building. I pulled the door shut behind us, and heard the lock click into place.
Where there weren’t flowers, there were rose petals.
My eyes widened when he turned toward me and sank to one knee, pulling a small box out of his pocket.
Holy shit.
He was proposing.
“Sweetheart,” he said, forgoing the whole-name bit in favor of the cheesy nickname I had come to find endearing. “Will you be my mate?” He opened the box, revealing a gorgeous ruby ring with a halo of diamonds wrapped around it.
His grin widened as I stared down at the ring in complete and utter shock. “There’s a return policy,” he added. “Full refund, if you hate it.”
When I kept staring without saying a word, Zander added, “Rafe told me I should let you pick it out, but I thought you’d do a hundred hours of research, then stress about whether or not it was right for even longer. I found your Pinterest profile, and this one was similar to the rings you had on there a few years ago. Tatum and Brynn said you’d like the red stone to represent lust and vampirism. If it’s a no, you should just tell me, instead of staring at me like—” He grunted as my body collided with his, hard.
“It’s a yes,” I whispered. My knees hung a few inches off the floor, but I didn’t give a damn. “And the ring is perfect.”
“Thank fuck,” he said into my hair.
A choked laugh escaped me, and I leaned away just long enough to kiss him. My knees finally met the ground.
He kissed me back, and I heard the ring box hit the floor as his hands found my ass. They slid up my body, squeezing my breasts before I pulled away and held my hand out toward him.
“Put it on my finger,Sweetheart.”
Zander gave me a heart-stopping grin before he grabbed the box and opened it back up. The ring was on my finger a moment later, and I lifted my hand so I could see it.
It sparkled like mad.
