He winked. “I feel another ice age coming on.”
Willy said, “Therianthrope hearing, you all, and the windows are open. Just in case you thought you were alone.”
“Jealous,” I teased.
“You bet,” she said.
I jumped up and looped my legs around Billy Bob’s waist. “Let’s go make some dolphins blush.”
The growl vibrating up his chest filled me with such anticipation.
“You make me so goddamn happy, woman.”
“I don’t plan to stop.”
“I’ll hold you to it because I am only mating once, and it’s for life.”
“Is that a proposal?” Sunny came staggering through the back door still wrapped up in the blanket and carrying baby Jude.
“Sunny!”
Billy Bob cupped my face. His flirty expression became more serious. “Chavvah. I have waited a lifetime for you, and I don’t want to wait a minute more.” He reached down into his pocket, which brushed against some very sensitive bits of mine. When his hand came back up, he held a small box.
“Holy shit,” Sunny said. “This really is a proposal!”
He flipped it open with his thumb. Inside was a dark gold band with two circles holding two large diamonds. “I love you, Chavvah. Under the sun, under the moon, and every moment in between, I love you. You’d make me the happiest man alive if you would do me the honor of marrying me.”
“I…” I hadn’t expected this. Not so soon. It had taken Babe a few months to propose to Sunny. “I…”
“Yes!” Sunny screamed. “For God sake, yes!”
I met his silver gaze and smiled. “What she said.” I kissed him. “I do so love you.” He slid the ring on my finger, and it fit perfectly. I held out my hand to admire the magnificence and to show it off to the girls. “When did you get this?”
“About six months ago.”
“Seriously?”
“As soon as I knew I loved you, I wanted to be ready for the moment you loved me back.”
“You’re about two years late then.”
He smiled. “Well, I’ve caught up now.”
“You sure have.” I kissed him again then jumped down to give the threesome of happy ladies a closer look.
“It’s so beautiful,” Ruth said, wiping a tear from her eye.
“Lucky devil,” Willy added.
Sunny hugged me hard. “You’re moving to the big house!”
“You make it sound like prison.”
“It is marriage,” Willy said.
“Okay, okay.” This sweet moment was turning ugly. “Take me home, Doc. We have an extinction to prevent.”
He raised a brow, to which I mouthed. “Wooly mammoth.”
