He clears his throat then says, “This is me officially asking you to be my girlfriend and partner in crime.”
I let out a burst of laughter as I move forward. “Get up so I can kiss you.”
Renzo climbs to his feet then takes a small box from the inside pocket of his jacket. Opening it, he holds it out to me so I can see the Sapphire ring.
“This is a you-belong-to-me ring. It has a tracker so I can find you if you’re ever in trouble.” He takes it from the box and slides it onto my ring finger. “I want every fucker out there to know you’re taken.”
“It’s beautiful,” I murmur before I lift onto my tiptoes to kiss my man.
Suddenly he lifts me from my feet and carries me bridal style up the stairs. “I want to see you naked with only my ring on your finger.”
“Hmm…I like the sound of that,” I chuckle as I press kisses to his neck. “A perfect ending to a perfect night.”
Walking into the bedroom, he places me on the bed, and staring down at me, he says, “A perfect beginning to a perfect life,amo.”
Epilogue
Renzo
(Two years later…)
The first year after our marriage, we focused on ourselves and work to make sure we were ready for the next step.
So here we are, standing in an orphanage with way too many cute faces looking for a home.
“We should buy the orphanage and adopt them all,” I mutter.
“This is hard,” Skylar says, looking a little panic-stricken.
A little boy runs into my legs and bounces back. Landing on his ass, he bursts out laughing.
Crouching down, I pick him up, and when we’re face-to-face, I ask, “You okay, little guy? That must’ve hurt.”
He shakes his head. “I’m tough.”
The smile on his face is filled with mischief, and it does something to my heart.
“Renzo,” Skylar whispers. My eyes flick to hers, then she nods quickly. “Him.”
I look back at the little boy, then ask, “What’s your name?”
“Georgi.” He points to where a little girl is sucking her thumb while holding a blanket to the side of her face. “That’s my sister, Raya.”
I glance at Skylar. “We can’t split them.”
“Definitely not.” She walks to the little girl and picks her up, then turns to smile at me.
I glance between the two kids, and when the little girl lays her head on Skylar’s shoulder and I see the emotion on my wife’s face, I know it’s a done deal.
We came for one, and we’re leaving with two.
I turn around and walk to where Sylvia is standing. She’s helping us with the legal side of things.
“Can we arrange the adoption for both Georgi and Raya?”
“Are you sure?” she asks. “Taking on two children can be daunting.”
“Dead sure.” I look at Georgi again. “Get everything sorted out. We’d like to take them home.”
