Page 60 of Taming the Beasts (Crooked Point #3)

I stared down into his ocean blue eyes. I didn’t even need to think about it. They were all everything I’d ever wanted. Each one of them. And together we just fit.

“A thousand times yes,” I said and threw myself down into Bennett’s arms.

Everyone at the table cheered and whistled .

But I was totally focused on Bennett. “I love you.”

“I love you so much, baby.”

I buried my fingers in his hair and kissed him.

He chuckled against my lips. “Don’t you want to see your ring? Huxley designed it.”

“Yes!”

He flipped open the lid to reveal the biggest diamond I’d ever seen in my life.

“Do you like it, princess?” Huxley asked.

Did I like it? I freaking loved it! “It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’m scared to even touch it.”

Bennett pulled it out of the box for me. “Well, we’re going to need you to wear it. Because we want everyone to know you belong to us.” He slid it onto my finger.

It glistened under the chandelier lighting. I pressed my hand against Bennett’s chest, staring at the way the diamond shimmered. I could get used to this.

He touched the bottom of my chin and I lifted my gaze back to his.

I stared at my fiancé. “Oh my God, I have five fiancés.”

“Yeah you do.” Otto lifted me up from behind and twirled me around.

I laughed and spun around to kiss him when he finally set me down.

“You’re the most beautiful fiancée in the world,” he said and pressed a soft kiss against my lips.

I felt Huxley’s lips on the back of my neck. “I’m so glad you like your ring, princess.” His soft kiss at the base of my skull sent a shiver down my spine.

I turned to look at him. “I love it. And I love you.”

He smiled. “You make me so happy.” He dropped his forehead to mine .

“I have to see this ring,” Kebe said and grabbed my hand. “Such good taste, Huxley.”

I laughed. And then Ace spun me around to face him. “Ace.” My voice cracked. “I am so excited to be yours.”

“You already are mine.” He reached out and wiped my tears away with his rough hands.

I hadn’t even realized I was crying. I was just so damned happy. I threw my arms around him.

He lightly bit my earlobe.

I took turns getting hugs from everyone else. Emma squealed and practically tackled me when she forgot for a moment that she had a huge belly.

“You’re going to have the five best uncles, baby girl,” I said and touched her belly.

Emma laughed.

“Six best uncles,” Grudge said and pulled me into a side hug. “Congrats, hot stuff.”

“I’m so happy for all of you,” Callum said and gave me a hug. “You couldn’t ask for a better pack of guys.”

“I know.” I really was so happy that they were all friends now.

Kebe pulled me into a hug. “This wedding I promise not to unleash a bunch of vampires at the ceremony.”

“You seriously promise?” I asked.

She laughed. “I promise.”

We were all smiling and laughing as we sat down. I didn’t even care that our dinner was probably cold now. This was the best Thanksgiving ever.

And when I sat down, I realized that I hadn’t kissed Titan yet. He’d been sitting at the table the whole time. I stood back up and sat down on his lap. “Were you the last to fold, big boy?”

His hands settled on my waist. “Doll, I’ve been captivated by you ever since I subscribed to you on MyFanatics.”

My heart skipped a beat.

“This was my idea. I know how much you were looking forward to Thanksgiving. I wanted to make our first one all together one to remember.”

“You big softie.”

“I’m definitely not soft right now,” he whispered in my ear.

I raised my eyebrow at him.

“You better hurry up and eat, doll. Because we’re all feasting on you on this table tonight. And it would probably be for the best if our guests were gone by then.”

I laughed.

But he looked dead serious.

I tried to get up to go back to my seat, but Titan’s fingers tightened on my hips.

“And where do you think you’re going?”

“To eat.”

“You can do that right here.” He circled my waist with his arm. He reached around me to start piling his plate high.

I smiled. Yeah, I could get used to this. I smiled at all my boyfriends as Titan kept me glued to his lap. Wait, not boyfriends. My freaking fiancés!

It had taken a while, but somewhere over the past few months we’d all moved forward from curses and monsters and the fears of the unknown. We were living our life in Crooked Point like none of that had ever happened. In perfect bliss.

I looked down at my engagement ring and Titan kissed the side of my neck.

Not that my boyfriends had ever been monsters. Beasts, however? Absolutely. And I’d tamed every single one of them.
