She moved around the table and lifted the stack of bowls she’d used to dump the pile of marshmallows on the table while setting up. When she attempted to step around me, I hooked an arm around her waist and lifted Shore onto the edge of the table. After taking the bowls from her hands and placing them behind her, I pushed between Shore’s legs.
“Wilde…” she whined but with a smile as she dropped her arms around my neck, making no attempt to get to the task at hand. “We’re supposed to be cleaning.”
“We will, but I’m collecting my reward first.”
Shore lifted a brow, smiling smugly. “I have to reward you in order to get you to help me clean?”
“No, but I take what I can get, when I can get it. I’ll do whatever you ask me to, Boston. I’m pretty sure you already know that to be true.”
I tugged at her arm and wrapped my fingers around her wrist, bringing Shore’s ring into view. I kissed the spot below the diamond I’d put there this morning after I awakened her with my head between her legs then asked her to marry me.
Her eyes lowered to the ring and she nodded. “I do.”
I do too…
“Not time for that yet, but glad to know you’re practicing.” I leaned in and kissed her. “But for the record, I can’t wait to hear those words on our official day.”
“It’s already official, Cowboy. Been that way since I stepped off the train and found you there with your boots, hat and scowl planted on your face. You were mine from that very minute, Wilde Reeves. I just didn’t know it.”
“As long as you do now, that’s all that matters.”
“I more than know but I never thought I’d be the kinda girl who would fall in love with a cowboy. Can’t say I’m disappointed though.”
I leaned forward, resting my forehead on hers. “And I never thought I’d fall in love with a city girl, yet here we are and I’m pretty sure I love you more each minute I’m with you, Boston.”
“I think I feel another Christmas memory in the making,” she said against my mouth seconds before Melvina and Lou surfaced again, breaking up our moment.
“Not on my table, you don’t.”
Shore and I both burst out laughing before I helped her down so we could get to cleaning then get home to make those memories on our own damn table.
