“Worth—”
“We’ll have time later.” He pulled me against him, rubbing his hard cock against mine. “When we get home, I’m going to fuck you until you can’t breathe. I’m going to make sure you won’t want to get out of bed all day tomorrow.”
“How on earth am I supposed to focus tonight when that’s all I’ll be thinking about?”
“I have a feeling you’ll do all right. Also, I have another surprise.”
“Another one?” I didn’t know if I could take much more.
“I know you didn’t want me to confront Tommy myself.”
“Worth—”
He held up a hand. “Just listen. I found a way to keep my distance and still make him pay.”
“Oh my God, did you have him killed?”
“As much as I wanted to, no, because you said not to. I did some digging with Carter’s help and discovered that he’d been embezzling from his employer. He’s in jail on a bond he can’t afford, and I’m assured he’ll be going to prison.”
“You bribed the court?”
Worth grinned. “Maybe, but the crime is very real.”
“And he’s going to be locked away.”
“For a very long time, and if you ever change your mind, more steps can be taken.”
I imagined Tommy sitting in jail, with no one to bring him food or take care of his needs. I pulled Worth into my arms. “Thank you. That’s perfect. It’s…the best surprise except for your proposal. I…This is all too much.”
“No. It’s exactly right.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too. Now come on, we’ve got to get ready.”
A laugh burst out of me as I followed him. “We’re getting married.”
He turned around, grinning. “That’s right. I’m going to give my princess whatever kind of wedding he wants, and we’re going to be together forever.”
“I really am living a fantasy.”
“True, but there are a lot of very real people waiting on us.”
We hurried down the stairs to our bedroom.

We arrived at the auction venue far later than we should have but before the scheduled start time. I had a chance to speak to several of my friends. Eudora Weeks had come with her good friend Robert and a few other members of the knitting circle Ford, Jay, and Ben attended at her house. She’d been a friend of Miles’s family for decades, and she was a major supporter of charities in the city. She’d agreed to publicize our new foundation and bring her friends, which meant major donors would be in attendance.
It made me so happy that she’d taken to Laurie immediately. She was going have him knitting before long, I was sure of it. Not that I minded in the least. The idea of wearing a hat, a scarf, or something else he’d made for me warmed me all over. I didn’t care what he made or how I would look in it. I’d wear anything for him.
“I’m so excited about tonight,” Eudora said. “I may have to have a piece for myself.”
“Have you taken a look at everything?”
She nodded. “I have my eye on a few items.”
Laurie gave her a hug. “Thank you again, so much. Your help has been invaluable.”
