Stormy Satisfaction (Doms of Destiny, Colorado 11)

“Thank you for putting up with Sam and me all these years. Our love continues to grow each and every day. To the love of my life.”

They all toasted them.

Ethel kissed her husbands and looked at Ashley. “Since we’re all toasting, I’d like to offer one for this amazing young woman. Congratulations on your first victory in the courtroom. I have no doubt that there will be many more. Only one other attorney has ever impressed me as much as you did today, Ashley. And she happens to be the senior partner at the newly named Wolfe and Vaughn Law Offices. Ashley. Phoebe. I expect great things from both of you.”

Everyone cheered and took another sip of champagne.

More toasts followed until everyone was honored.

“I don’t know about the rest of you,” Erin said, “but can we slow down on the toasts? I’m getting a little light headed.”

“Just one more,” Sylas said.

He and Nic stood and turned to Ashley.

“Sweetheart, you are the most wonderful woman in the world,” Sylas said.

“Guys, I’ve already been toasted tonight.”

“We know,” they said in unison.

“But this is really important to us, baby.” Nic sat his glass down on the table, and he and Sylas got down on their knees.

The shock caused her to bring her hands up, covering her mouth. “Oh my God…you’re not…?”

“We are,” they answered, once again in unison.

Each of them took one of her hands.

“As I was saying before,” Sylas said. “You are the most wonderful woman in the world. I fell in love with you in Chicago, but it was here in Destiny that I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Your dreams are my dreams. Your wants are my wants. We belong together.” He squeezed her hand. “I love you with all my heart, Ashley. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

“Yes, Sylas. I will marry you. I love you so much.”

He kissed her deeply.

“Ashley, I almost lost you,” Nic said in a serious tone. “I love absolutely everything about you, baby. The way you crinkle your nose when you’re thinking. How your eyebrow shoots up when I’ve teased you too much. And I never tire of seeing how passionate you are when you are fighting for a just cause. What a fool I was back in Chicago, but no more. Like Sylas said, your dreams are my dreams. Your wants, my wants. I’m a better man because you are in my life. I followed you to Destiny, not realizing that you were my destiny. Spend the rest of your life with me and Sylas. I love you, Ashley. Will you marry me?”

“Yes. Of course I’ll marry you. I love you, honey.”

As he kissed her, she could hear the cheers from the others.

Sylas held a ring in front of her. Nic held her hand up and he slipped it on her finger.

“It’s beautiful.” The diamond sparkled in her eyes. “When

did you find time to get this? We’ve been so busy with Jennifer’s case.”

“We bought it when were in Chicago,” Sylas said. “We knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with you, sweetheart.”

“Together,” Nic added with a smile. “I may be an old dog, but you can teach me new tricks.”

“Me, too,” Sylas said. He leaned in close and whispered, “And Nic and I can’t wait to show our bride-to-be some of the tricks we’ve been learning at Phase Four.”

A delicious shiver ran up and down her spine.

Everyone congratulated them as Adam brought in their first of many courses.

As they enjoyed the meal, Ashley kept glancing at her ring. I’m engaged. She looked at her two fiancés. My husbands-to-be and my Doms. I can’t wait to see what they’ve learned.
