“Yes, yes, I will, yes. Last week, next week, next year, the answer will always be yes,” Rylan paused, “oh, shit, I ruined your proposal, didn’t I?”

Shaking his head, Cameron cupped the back of Rylan’s neck and pulled him forward into a breathless kiss. This kiss was intense, making every nerve ending in Rylan’s body crave more of his touch.

When Cameron pulled away, he captured Rylan’s gaze. He couldn’t glance away and he smiled when noticed his hazel gaze shone with love, for him.

“No, angel, you couldn’t ruin anything. I’ll remember this morning forever.”

Rylan beamed at his fiancé. “When?”

Cameron’s face flushed and despite everything intimate and sexual they spoke about, he’d never seen him blush.

“Well, I picked up your ring yesterday. I had to special order it from the mainland, so I made the arrangements for us to get married today.”

He searched Rylan’s face with concern, but Rylan couldn’t speak for a moment as happiness, overwhelming happiness, surged through him. Not wanting any space between them, he threw himself into Cameron’s arms and held on tight.

Thinking about all they needed before the ceremony and not knowing what time they were getting married, Rylan pulled back.

“We need to get something to wear for the ceremony, and grab witnesses. And what about your ring? Do you even want a ring?”

Cameron smiled. “It’s already taken care of. I called Aaron, Tim, and Eric and they picked up Issa and Suzy on the way to the airport yesterday. Suzy wanted to pick out what we’re going to wear and Tim found a minister to marry us. The ceremony’s on the beach outside their hotel. And for my ring, it matches yours.”

He held the ring box up, showing two separate bands nestled in black. Rylan held his breath as Cameron removed one of the rings from the box. He lifted Rylan’s left hand and flipped it around to press a gentle kiss to his palm before he moved it back, taking that moment to slide a platinum band with two thin lines of black diamonds adorning both edges, onto his finger.

“I’ll wait until after our vows and then I’ll wear my ring.”

“I love you, Cameron Hayes.”

Cameron’s smile lit up the room and as he leaned forward to kiss him, he said against his lips, “And I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, Rylan Ellis.”
