“You can be my husband. Jace and I can have a handfasting ceremony. I want you both. I need you both.”
I cup the front of her forehead and tug her to lie back against my chest. “Stop talking. Just stop talking. Learn to know when I’ve given enough, Ny. You always ask for too much at once. I’m done for now.”
Silently, Jace lifts her foot to his chest and starts to massage it. At least he knows when to leave me alone.A handfasting ceremony.
One of these days she’s going to push too far.
CHAPTER35
Our First Date
Nyla
Gio looks sosexy sitting across from me in his black suit and shirt, with the top three buttons open. His tanned skin is peeking out, reminding me of the hard body beneath.
This restaurant is amazing. The chandeliers, the ambience, everything is perfect. I smile at him as I sip my wine.
“This is so nice.”
“I’m glad you like it. Someday we’ll be able to do this more.”
“You’ve been doing fine, Gio. I understand why things are the way they are.”
“That doesn’t mean I like the way they are.”
“Let’s not. I don’t want to ruin the night.”
“Don’t drink too much. The chessboard is waiting back at the suite.”
I tilt my head as I look at him. “I would think you would want to get me drunk so I don’t kick your ass.”
“Fuck outa here. When have you ever beaten me?”
“You haven’t figured out that I allow you to win? I don’t want to bruise your ego.”
“Why do I believe you?”
“Because you know it’s true.”
“Here, I have something for you.”
He places a jewelry box on the table. I look at him in shock. He and Jace have spoiled me so much on this trip and it’s only been two days. I wasn’t expecting him to give me anything else.
“What is it?” I ask excitedly.
“Open it.”
I open the box and gasp. The diamond necklace inside is gorgeous. The lights of the restaurant bounce off it, making it sparkle with brilliance.
“Thank you,” I choke out.
“Hey, I know you’re not going to cry.”
“Shut up, Gio. It’s beautiful. I love it.”
He stands and rounds the table. “Let me put it on for you.”
The scent of his cologne surrounds me as he leans over me to pull the necklace from the box. He places it around my neck and fastens it, leaning in to kiss the side of my neck and then the back of my head.
