Now it was Everly’s turn to look stunned. Her gaze darted from Cam to the ring then back again. “Why? I don’t want you to rush into anything or feel pushed into it because of what I just told you.”
“You think I walk around with five-thousand dollars in jewelry on me for no reason?” He gave her a sincere grin. “Everly Knight, I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. You were my fantasy girl in high school and then I got to meet you and get to know you during the whole Aeon mess and these past six months living with you have been the happiest of my whole goddamned life. Please say you’ll marry me and make me the happiest man in the universe. And not because of the baby or because of anything else, other than that you love me too and want to be with me. Forever.”
Tears gathered in her beautiful brown eyes and she reached out a shaky hand to trace her fingers over the lovely ring. “Oh, Cam. I love you too. So much it hurts. I’d be honored to be your wife.”
Elated beyond anything, Cam wrapped his arms around her and eased her down to the floor in front of him, pressing her tight to his chest as he kissed her tenderly. “I can’t wait to have a kid with you.”
“Me too.” She laughed through her tears while he slid the ring onto her finger then kissed her again. “To our future.”
Cam placed his hand gently over her stomach and smiled. “To our future. All three of us.”
