I knew it again when I kept my hands clean—for her.
All that’s left is for her to get on the same page. For her to realize what I’ve known since the very first second.
So, my brothers know everything. Their women, however—they’ve been kept in the dark. I can see this by the way Candace’s eyes are bugging out of her head at the big ring that shimmers onNevaeh’s tiny finger. It’s a statement, unquestionably bold, I’m making to the world.
This woman is my light. My sunshine in the dark.
My everything.
She might not see it yet, but at least everyone else will.
“What isthat?” Candace shrieks. I bite back my grin as Nevaeh’s brown eyes get wide and dart in my direction. She’s looking for help, but after that little dig about the men in her past, I’m fit to punish her by letting her ride this chaos alone for a while.
“Oh—um—well—” she stammers, her face heating in that way that makes my dick throb. Damn, girl is sweet. Too sweet. “It’s—well, it’s a ring.”
“Yeah.” Candace bobs her head. “I can see it’s a ring. But what kind of ring is it?”
Nevaeh’s head swings my way, and her eyes get comically big. Candace swings her head my way too, hands on hips. “Kane?”
I push off the counter to move to my woman, tugging her into my chest as I say proudly, “Ladies and Gents, my future wife.”
Cash chuckles deep and low as Wrenlee’s mouth drops, nearly hitting her knees where she sits in Cash’s lap. Ian just shakes his head, a small smirk playing at his lips. But it’s Tav who makes me grin wide, because he sits back with a look in his eyes that says he didn’tthink I could do it. Didn’t think I could convince her to be mine.
I give Tav a wink that says,‘showed you, motherfucker.’
Now, I’ve gotta show her.
“The man who said he’d never fall…” Wrenlee starts.
Candace finishes, “Falls the fastest, apparently.” Then she gives wide eyes to Nevaeh. “How did this happen? I mean, y’all were hardly talking when I was here.”
Nevaeh gives a little shrug. “It just happened, I guess.”
I can hear her discomfort. She feels on display and alone.
I pull her tighter to my chest. “It only took one hit,” I say honestly. “I’ve been addicted since.”
Wrenlee rolls her eyes on a cute little snort. “Such a smooth talker.”
“That’s me.” I shoot Wrenlee a wink as I drop my face into Nevaeh’s neck and press a hot kiss to hot skin. Then I grin at the quiet little way she gasps. “Let’s eat outside tonight.”
The group moves, carrying the bags of takeout we brought as Nevaeh moves to the oven, bending slowly to pull something that smells really damn good from inside. I don’t stop myself from checking out her ass asshe does it, either. A husband wouldn’t stop himself from appreciating what was his, so why should I?
She sets the dish on the stove and turns to me, slightly pale. “I made dinner. But—there’s not enough for everyone.”
“S’okay.” I move in close, pressing a kiss to her upturned forehead. “I wouldn’t share it with the guys, anyway. They’ve got their own shit.”
She blows a relieved breath from between her lips. “Okay.”
“I brought Chinese,” I tell her as I peer into her dish. “But whatever this is looks way better.”
She blushes, and I’m happy to see a little of the pale washing away. “Mom’s enchiladas. They’re amazing.”
“Yeah?” I lift a brow, wanting nothing more than to taste her mouth. If I could, I’d make this woman my last meal.
Before I know it, I’m crowding her against the counter, inhaling toasted marshmallow and everything sweet.
“Kane.” My name on her tongue trembles. I want to make the rest of her tremble.
