“Already done. I’ve had it for the past three weeks.”
“And how did you manage that?”
“I have my ways,” he grinned.
It was clear there was no way out of this for me. A wedding was going to happen. I just wasn’t sure on the details yet.
“Well, if you want me to marry you, I guess we’ll have to get rings.”
“Already done. I’ve had them for a few months now.”
“How do you know I’ll like them?”
“Because I know you, Rae. For better or worse, I know how your brain works. I know every detail about what you like and what will piss you off. I know how to distract you when you’re about to dash out of my bed in the morning. But mostly, I know that if I don’t fucking marry you before you leave, I’m gonna follow you out there and make the biggest scene until you agree to put my ring on your finger.”
I bit my lip to keep from smiling. “That would definitely cause a problem.”
“Which leaves only one option. We’re about to get married, and you have less than ten minutes to get ready.”
“Then I guess you better fucking kiss me and make this proposal official.”
His lips slanted over mine, his tongue slipping into my mouth as he pulled me even closer to him. With a squeeze of my ass, he released me, breaking our kiss. “Get going before I change my mind about marrying you.”
“Ten minutes.”
He nodded. “Right fucking here.”
“How about someplace not covered in grease?”
“Fine, under the tree at the backside of the property.”
“The large oak?”
“The very one,” he grinned.
“And who is marrying us?”
“Oh, you’ll see,” he laughed as he walked away.
“You’re in tactical gear,”Johnny pointed out.
“What’s your point?” I asked, letting my hair down so I looked just a tad nicer for my wedding.
“Aren’t you supposed to wear a dress for your wedding? Or at least something white?”
I spun around to face him, a wide grin splitting my lips. Nothing could get me down right now. Not even Johnny’s negative attitude. “Does it really matter what I’m wearing? I’m marrying the man I love.”
He rolled his eyes, but I knew he was happy for me. Johnny was different lately, though he didn’t want anyone around here to notice. He was settling into his new life with Tahlia. He wasn’t quite a happy-go-lucky guy, but he was closer than I’d ever seen him.
“Now, we have to get going so we’re not late.”
He glanced at his watch, sighing heavily. “We were supposed to be on the road twenty minutes ago.”
“And ten more minutes won’t kill us.”
“Yeah, like you’re going to get married and then run off without consummating the marriage.”
“As much as I would love that, I know how important this job is to you. I won’t delay it any further.”
