Because I’m everything to him.

I feel myself tearing up, and Killian laughs softly when he sees the shine in my eyes. “Don’t cry,” he says, but he says it tenderly, kissing my forehead. “I’ve made you cry enough.”

“They’re happy tears,” I say, sniffling, then looking down at the beautiful ring he put on my finger. “You really wanna marry me?”

He nods. “I do. But I think I should warn you, it’s a forever deal with me. I’ve told you before, but once my ring is on your finger, it doesn’t come back off. Once I make you my wife, the idea of you leaving me is unacceptable. I am demanding and sometimes completely fucking unreasonable. I have an insatiable appetite for you, and sometimes it makes me crazy. I also adore every fucking thing about you, and what I want most is to fall asleep with these curls spread across my pillow every night of my life. So, knowing what you’re signing up for and that there’s absolutely no way out… Brynn Blakely, will you—?”

“Yes,” I interrupt, leaning in to kiss him.

“Marry me?” he murmurs against my lips, smiling.

“Yes. Yes, I will.” I grin against his mouth, then I lock my arms around his neck and pull him close.

“Are you sure? You don’t seem sure,” he teases.

I can’t stop smiling, but I can’t resist teasing him back. “Well, you already knocked me up, so I guess I should go ahead and marry you.”

“See? I knew that was a good idea.”

“It wasn’t,” I say, lightly pushing against his chest. “I don’t know how I’m going to juggle all this.”

“How we’re going to juggle all this.”

“Next semester won’t be a problem, but what about junior and senior year?”

Killian kisses my jaw. “Sync up your schedule with Sophie’s. Silvan’s hiring a nanny for them so she can finish school, and you guys should be due around the same time. We live in the same building. I think it’d be pretty easy to share a nanny if we wanted to.”

I gasp. “They could be baby friends. Oh my god, that would be so cute.”

He smirks. “We’ll get ’em little matching sapphire rattles.”

“Our baby is not going to be a Blue Blood,” I tell him firmly.

“We’ll see.”

“Our baby will not be a murderer.”

“Not before he can drive, at least.”

I slide him an unamused look, but I’m too happy to hold it for long. “Maybe we’ll have a girl,” I suggest.

“Maybe we will.”

“She won’t be allowed to marry a Blue Blood, either.”

“Hey, now. I’m starting to get offended.”

I grin as he pushes me back on the bed, moving half on top of me. I thread my fingers through his dark hair and gaze lovingly into his eyes. “I’m just teasing you,” I tell him softly, even though I know he isn’t really offended. “You know I love you for everything that you are, Blue Blood bullshit and all.”

“And you always will.”

“And I always will,” I agree with a nod.

“And if you change your mind, you know you’re marrying a man who has no moral qualms about kidnapping you, so…”

I laugh. “I know what I’m signing up for.”

He smirks. “Good.”
