“You ask her yet?” his father asked.
“Shit.” He gave his father a look. His father shrugged, grinning at Shelby.
She sat up and looked at his dad. “Ask me what? You know I’ll do anything for you, Will.”
“If you’ll have him,” his dad said, swallowing. Serious. “If you’ll have us.”
She cocked her head to the side as Declan blew out a breath and pulled her into him. This wasn’t the way he’d planned it, but the sun was coming up over the Atlantic in the most spectacular fashion. His woman was in his arms right where she belonged, where he wanted her to stay forever.
He pulled a little black box out of his pocket and his heart squeezed when she gasped. He opened it, and in the early morning light the diamond was spectacular. She looked at Declan with tears in her eyes. “Dad and I are kind of a package deal, but I’m the one doing the asking. Shelby Marie Worthington, you’re my first, my last, my everything.”
“Jesus, boy, can’t you do better than stealing from Barry White?” his father growled.
“No, that pretty much says it all except for one thing. Shelby, I love you with all my heart. You are my heart. Will you marry me?” She nodded and kept nodding, tears streaming down her face; she turned around in his arms and kissed the stuffing out of him.
“I don’t expect a kiss, but I’d sure like to hear a yes,” his dad said.
“Yes. Always.” She laughed. “Yes.”
