Coach Daddy (Dark Daddies 3)

The whole room laughs, and Cole grins.

“Will you marry me?” he asks.

“Yes!” I say again. He stands, slips the ring on my finger, and we kiss.

The whole room bursts into applause and cheers. People hug us, a big massive bear hug from everyone we love.

Because this team is a family. As much as it’s a business and a team, it’s a family. We’ve gone through a lot these past two seasons together, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Cole kisses me. “Can’t get away now,” he says softly.

“Never would, not for the world.”

I kiss him and I’m swept away by people congratulating me, hugging me, kissing my cheek. Sean grins, punches my shoulder.

“I’ll see you later,” I say to him.

He winces. “I know.” He trudges off.

I grin. Tessa runs up and hugs me.

“I knew it, I knew it, but it was soooo hard not telling you.”

I laugh and hug her back.

Eventually, Robby peels her away. Cole yells at everyone, tells them to get to work. They all came in early today, just to see this, just to be here for this moment.

I drift back to him. My future husband, my Daddy.

My love. My everything.

I kiss him and he holds me. For a moment, we’re alone in the training room, surrounded by candles.

It’s perfect. It’s everything I need.

As long as I have him, I know I’ll always be complete.

“Come on, Daddy,” I whisper to him. “Let’s get to work. We have some games to win.”

He grins, kisses my cheek. “That’s my girl.”

I squeeze his hand. We leave the room together.

I don’t look back. I only need to look forward.

At my perfect future with my perfect man.
