I glanced at Stones and he smiled wide. “It’s like that, is it? Good shit. Don’t fuck it up. Chicks never let you forget if you fuck it up.”
“Sounds like you fucked it up?” I said mildly.
Stones winced. “I might have.”
I laughed and made a mental note to ask Mandy about it later.
“There’s actually something else I wanted to talk to you about,” Stones said, looking serious all of a sudden.
“Okay,” I said carefully.
“We’ll talk inside.”
I nodded and followed him inside.
The sun had gone down and we stood back from the bonfire. Lila was leaning back against me, my arms wrapped around her, swaying to the music.
We’d eaten. Mandy had made a massive chocolate cake, and now the kids had gone home and the drinking was well and truly underway. It was a night for celebrating. Stones had offered me sergeant at arms. Caesar was moving away to be closer to his grandkids, and he wanted me to take over. I’d accepted, then I’d found my quiet corner with Lila right before the cake came out. She’d come against my mouth, twice.
Lila was still all soft and loose, relaxed.
And if I didn’t fuck up what happened next, this night would end up being goddamned perfect.
“Come with me?” I said against her ear.
She twisted to look up at me. “Where are we going?”
“Feel like some private time with my old lady.” I took her hand and led her toward the small outbuilding we used when we stayed at the clubhouse. Just like I had the first time she’d come here to a party.
I sat down on the porch and she climbed onto my lap instantly, straddling my hips and wrapping her arms around my neck.
I squeezed her ass. “You having a good time, Bambi?”
Her smile was so gorgeous, and it made my chest ache. “Yes. The girls went all out. I can’t believe they did all this for me.”
“They love you,” I said, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“I love them, too.” She shook her head. “They even got me gifts. I’ve never felt so spoiled.”
My gut gripped tight. “Speaking of gifts—” I reached for the bag I had stashed down by the couch.
She frowned, watching me. “You got me something else? You already took me out for dinner and had that gorgeous jacket made for me.”
The leather jacket was for safety when she was on my bike. It helped that she looked insanely hot in it, too. “This is something else.”
Her smile was soft and stole my breath. “You know I don’t need lots of gifts, right? Just you.”
I lifted her hand and kissed it, then slid the ring I had in my fist onto her finger. The little row of diamonds twinkled in the light from the bonfire and she gasped.
“I know you’re already my old lady, but I want to make this legal. I want you mine in every way you can be. I want you to marry me, Lila. Will you?”
She made a cute little sound, something between a laugh and a sob, and threw her arms around my neck, peppering my face with sweet kisses. “Yes. Yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Yeah?” I choked.
“Yes,” she said and pressed her mouth against mine.
My heart thundered behind my ribs, and I wrapped my arms around her and stood. She squealed and I carried her inside, kicking the door shut behind us.
“I need to fuck my fiancée…then we can get more cake.”
She threw her head back and laughed.
