But Colt and I are more than players. We’re in love.
We waited forever for this moment, smiling nose-to-nose. Gently, I grab his neck, and he grabs mine. Our eyes lock before… we kiss, his whiskers soft against mine, his lips salty like mine.
It’s not long, but it says everything.
It changes everything.
Every camera captures it, and we hope they do.
Yep, this picture is going on our nightstand.
Then I feel Blair gently tugging my hand. Her warm hand, which I love so much and plan to hold every day, slips something smooth and circular into my grasp.
This was our game plan.
I’ve waited too long for this, too.
And I’m not talking about a Super Bowl win.
With my chin up, I lower to one knee before Colt. He’s shocked. Then, instantly, I see the dream fill his brown eyes, too. He knows what I’m about to do, what we’ve always wanted, and he lets me.
The camera shutters hiss. Microphones hover. People gasp, then freeze around us like they’re holding their breath as screams in the crowd erupt at the sight.
But they all fall away except for Blair, who Colt tenderly pulls into his grasp. He holds her tight under his right arm, her hand on his chest, while I take his left hand.
There’s this guy from high school I fell in love with.
There’s this girl from college who saved me.
“Colton Hawke,” I vow, “you never gave up on me. You never gave up on us. You always believed in our love, and now I’m asking you to always believe in me. Let me win your heart every day. Will you marry me?”
His thick lashes wet, his brown eyes welling with tears, just like mine, his voice dropping gruff. “Yes, Beau Bronson. Proudly, I will marry you.”
I slide the perfect gold band on his thick finger, knowing we’ll say so much later. But that’s private, and for us to share with Blair without the cameras and fans.
And I know that next week, after the three of us go to Disneyland, where I’m sure we’ll share many rides and pranks, we’ll go to Charleston.
Luca Mercier is letting Ruby organize the most lavish surprise takeover of his luxury hotel.
Five hundred white roses, along with five hundred paper roses made from Blair’s books, the ones inspired by our love, will fill the white marble lobby. Hundreds of flickering candles will glow in glass votives while all the lights will drop as I drop to my knee and propose to Blair, too, in front of everyone we love.
Yes, I already have the twelve-carat emerald-cut diamond ring, size five, by the way, for her. Yes, I’ll buy her any beach house she wants. Yes, she can have my bookshelves, but I’ll always control the remote, and Colt commands the thermostat. So yes, she’ll want to snuggle with us and have our babies, too.
And yes, I know Colt will try to outscore me.
He’ll orchestrate his lavish proposal to Blair and surprise me with one, too,
And that’s my new game plan.
I hope we never stop trying to win each other’s hearts… shamelessly.
NOT THE END
EPILOGUE
Why give an olive branch when you can provide orgasms?
