Hero: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance
Page 49
Those familiar thoughts disappeared a moment later as I noticed the happiness and pride sweeping across Seth’s face, making me happier than I could have ever imagined.
“Well, it looks like you have everything sorted without me then. Maybe I should go away more—”
“Don’t you fucking dare!”
I kissed him before he could finish the sentence, pulling him to me with a hard insistence.
When we finally broke the kiss, he chuckled again, his eyes alight with laughter and…something more.
A smile spread across his face, the same cocky one I’d always hated adoring, but with a lightness behind it that made my heart skip.
“Glad you feel that way, baby.”
And then before I could work out what was happening, he was down on one knee, his large hand flicking open a ring case.
“Because I want to make you mine forever. I love you, Bella. My Belle. I always have, and I’m never going to let you go. Marry me.”
The last was more demand than question, but that only made my heart beat faster as I took in the sparkling diamond-and-emerald ring.
Everything inside me exploded with happiness and desire and want.
I opened my mouth to reply but the only thing that came out was a small scream as I launched myself at him, wrapping around that thick, ripped body as I kissed him all over, again.
“Yes…god, yes…oh damn, yes…”
He was laughing as he kissed me back, his arms around me once again until I finally calmed down - physically, at least - enough for him to slide the ring onto my finger. He closed his hands around it as he looked at me.
“My Bella. Always.”
I nodded and tucked myself back into his body, letting his arms hold me as we kissed for what felt like forever.
