Page 23 of Resisting Your Love

I smiled as I gazed at my baby. It was unknown to Amryn that I was looking at her, but it was something I could do without getting tired.

She was mine to look at, and I was going to get my fill.

We had somewhere to be, and I needed her to get dressed.

I was already dressed, and I knew it was going to take her a little minute to get ready.

I cleared my throat, gaining her attention from the coloring book she was coloring in. Her face lit up when she saw me. She closed the book and got up from the bed to greet me.

"Where are you going looking good?" She lifted her chin to receive my lips.

"The same place you are going. You need to get dressed."

She arched an eyebrow. "Huh? Do we have an event to attend?"

I only smiled. "You can say that. I just need you to hurry your ass up. You know it takes you forever to get ready."

Amryn rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I hate when we have to go somewhere so last minute. They should have let us know ahead of time."

I almost laughed out loud, but I didn't. "The more you stand there and talk, the longer it's going to take you to get ready. Stop playing and go."

She glowered at me before she turned away.

Thirty minutes later, Amryn came downstairs, and I was blown away by her glowing presence.

Oh damn, what a damn goddess I was married to.

She was stunning to look at. My mouth watered as I eyed her from her head to her feet.

If she wanted me to say fuck this and go back to bed, that was all she had to say.

Amryn wore a vibrant yellow off-the-shoulder dress that stopped just above her knee with tall high heels on her feet.

She wore her hair in a bun with a bang. Two small strings of her hair were falling on each side of her face.

"How do I look?" she asked, swirling around, giving me the perfect view of her ass.

"I have no words to describe the way you look," I expressed. "Got damn, baby. I don't want to take you out of the house."

Amryn squinted her eyes. "Oh, you are taking me out of this house tonight. Oh, and thank you." She walked away from me, heading to the door.

The only thing I could do was laugh loudly. I didn't know what I was going to do with her. I had no choice but to love her, and I planned to do that for the rest of my life.

When we showed up at my parents' house, everyone was there. We were the ones who were late.

"Wait, what? I thought you said we were going to an event." Amryn was confused as hell, but in a minute, everything would start making sense to her. I wouldn't give anything away.

"We are. Now come on, we're late." I got out of the car and went around to help her out.

I couldn't help but lower my head and kiss her lips. "Damn, you just... damn."

She cackled. "Please, stop. You are boosting my head up."

"As I should, baby."

We walked in silence toward the house. Before we could ring the doorbell, the door was opened for us. My father greeted us with a smile. Once inside, we spoke to everyone and sat down at the dining table.

Amryn leaned over and whispered, "What is going on?"

I kissed her lips. "You'll know in a minute. Calm down."

Amryn could be impatient as hell if I let her be, but right now wasn't the time for that.

I was glad to have Zyanna and River by my side.

Hell, I wouldn't be able to go through with what I wanted to without them.

Amryn's father was also there, but what he, my father, and my uncle had going on had nothing to do with us anymore.

I wasn't about to let what they had going on come between Amryn and me.

Dinner was being served when the doorbell rang. My father went to answer it and came back. While we ate, conversations flowed around the table. Hell, I was a little too nervous about what was about to take place.

After dinner, the lawyers were brought in. Amryn jumped up with a scowl on her face. "What the hell is this?" she asked.

I grabbed her wrist and sat her back down. "Man, just chill."

She shook her head. "No, I won't chill until you tell me what the hell is going on."

I felt the rage that was flowing through her body and had to get control of this before Amryn started thinking the worst.

The lawyers came and set the contract in front of us. Amryn's eyes ballooned, but she remained quiet. That was a good thing. I didn't need her jumping to conclusions until I said what needed to be said.

I picked up the contract that was on the table and ripped it in two.

Amryn gasped. "Levi!"

I continued tearing it until it was in pieces, covering the table and me, connecting her hands with mine.

"That contract has been voided, baby. As you can see, no contract exists between us anymore.

" I eyed the ring on her finger and lifted her hand for me to kiss it.

"I want to marry you, for real, this time with no strings between us, only my love and your love flowing between us.

I had never been a romantic man until you stepped foot in my life — when you brought your ass into my tattoo shop, looking for a new beginning.

Well, baby, you got that and more. You tattooed your name on my heart without trying.

I love you more than words can express." I rose from the chair and got down on one knee. "Will you marry me, baby?"

Tears ran down her face. "Yes, Levi! I'll marry you!"

Our family cheered us on as I stood up and pulled her into my arms. We kissed — passionately. It was too passionate because many of the people around us cleared their throats.

When we pulled apart, the only thing we could do was laugh and hug each other tightly. I didn't want to ever let Amryn go. She was mine forever.
