Danger and Desire: A Romantic Suspense Anthology
Page 69
“I wanted to make sure you saw it,” she said, tears pooling in her eyes. “I love you, Mac. And if you’ll have me, I want to be with you always. Well, at least when I’m in the country and you are, too.”
“I want that more than you can possibly know,” he said.
Her brow furrowed. “There’s something I wanted to ask you.” She stepped back until his hands had to fall to his sides.
Then she dropped to one bare knee, the hem of her sun dress brushing the floor. “Sean McDaniel, I love you, which we’ve already established, and I want to be with you always. Sean ‘Mac’ McDaniel, will you marry me?” She lifted the poster board and turned it around. In shiny pink glitter were the big, bold words, PLEASE SAY YES.
Mac laughed, took the poster from her hands, tossed it to the side and then answered with all of his heart.
“A thousand times, yes!”
Rucker, Dash, Blade, Tank, Bull, Dawg and Lance let out a hearty cheer and pounded him on the back.
“Congratulations, Mac,” Rucker said. “She’s a keeper. She’ll have your back, no matter the situation.”
“Yeah, man,” Dash said. “And if you screw this up, I’ll be there to help her pick up the pieces.”
Mac glared at Dash. “I’m not going to screw it up. You can’t have Kylie.”
Dash held up his hands. “It doesn’t hurt to throw my hat in the ring. Just saying.”
“A woman after my own heart,” Dawg said. “Never met a woman who scored three kills.” He shook Mac’s hand and hugged Kylie.
“You’re a lucky bastard,” Tank said. “Be nice to her. She’s amazing.”
“I know.”
“Better marry her before she comes to her senses,” Bull warned.
“I will,” Mac said. “How’s next week sound?” he asked Kylie.
“I’m all in,” she said. “The sooner we start our lives together, the happier I’ll be.”
Mac crushed her to him and kissed her until they both ran out of breath. “I love you, Kylie, and I’m not letting you get away this time.”
“I promise. I’m not going anywhere,” she said. “You’re the one who completes me.”
He chuckled, happier than he’d ever been. “And you’re the only woman for me.”
