‘I love you too, agapita. Now, take this ring from me before I sprain my wrist. This thing weighs a ton.’
She finally looked at the ring. And gulped at the large, exquisite square diamond set in platinum. The sparkle of the gem alone was enough to blind her. ‘What did you do, pick the biggest rock in the shop?’
‘Of course. My intention is for every man who gets within five hundred feet of you to know you’re mine and to stay the hell clear,’ he growled.
‘My God, you’re a Neanderthal.’
He growled once more against her mouth. ‘Ne. I’m your Neanderthal. And I intend to be for ever.’
‘I love the sound of that.’
‘Then so it shall be.’
