The sparkle that hits my eyes has me sitting up.
“Really?” I can’t even believe what I’m staring at. It’s the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen. Round and simple, and exactly me.
“Yes, really.” He chuckles. “Wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t mean it. And there isn’t a doubt in my mind that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, babe.”
God, this can’t be real. It feels like a dream.
“Yes! Yes, Vale! Yes!”
He slides the ring on my finger and the tears slip down my cheek. All I’ve ever wanted was to be loved. But I never imagined it could be this incredible.
“I hope those are happy tears, babe.”
“They’re the happiest, Vale.” The absolute happiest.
EPILOGUE
Dagger
Three years later…
“Yo, Cage! You seen my girl?”
He shakes his head, unable to take his eyes off the woman straddling his lap. I don’t suppose he would know where Wynter is. His wife has his undivided attention. She has since the night he met her.
I do a quick lap around the bonfire, looking through the crowd before I head back inside. I’d expect her to be with Shayna or Rory, but they’re cuddled up with their men. That’s where my girl should be. Cuddled up on my lap, kissing me until my balls draw too tight and I have to unleash my need upon her body.
“Hey, Rogue! You seen my ol’ lady?”
“Saw her walking to your room not too long ago.”
I tip my chin in thanks and stalk my way down the hall. I’m on a mission to pin her to my bed and get me a taste. She lookedso fucking good tonight. Wearing her leather cut. Dressed in that tight little skirt and tank top. She’s a fucking knockout. And those tits… Fuck me. Don’t know what kind of bra she’s got on, but they’re looking extra ripe this evening.
“Here you are,” I state, catching her off guard as I enter our room. She nearly jumps in her spot, dropping whatever was in her hand.
I bend down to get it for her and my entire body freezes. It’s a plastic stick, looking an awful lot like… “You’re pregnant?”
The little clear window has two blue lines showing through. Two thick, undeniable lines.
My head lifts and my lungs are barely able to fill. She’s got tears in her eyes. But beyond those tears is the sweetest smile.
“I wanted it to be a surprise.”
“It sure as hell is.” I rise from the ground and grab her in my arms, lifting her right off the floor. Face to face with my gorgeous woman. “You’re gonna be a mama, baby.” She’s going to be the best damn mama there ever was.
“You’re happy?”
“Hell yes I’m happy.” How could she even ask me that? “I’m over the fucking moon, baby. I’ve been wanting this for so damn long.” But I wanted it to be on her time. After what she went through, I wanted to make sure she was ready. “I’m going to be a dad!” I shout in my joy.
An uproar of hoots and hollers and applause rings out from down the hall. Guess the guys heard the big news. Damn, I forgot how thin the walls are in this place.
“Should we go out there?” She giggles, smiling so bright. She’s already got a glow about her. Must be why her tits were looking so full and plump tonight. Her body is already prepping for motherhood. Shit. I can’t wait to see her stomach round with my child. It’s going to be sexy as hell.
“Not right now.” I carry her backwards toward the bed. “We can visit with them later. Right now, it’s time for me to show my woman how damn special she is.” It’s time for me to worship her body with the gratitude that’s burning in my heart. Man, I love this woman. More than she’ll ever come to realize in this lifetime.
