Dance With The Devil (Devil's Riders 4)

It took a second for that to sink in .
“That’s a yes. Right? You are saying yes ?”
I nodded, the tears falling freely now. I didn’t even bother to wipe them away. My lip was quivering a little bit .
“I’m saying yes .”
He let out a loud whoop and stood up. He pulled me into his arms and nearly crushed me, he was squeezing so hard. He kissed me deeply, making our friends ooh and ahhh .
Whiskey set me on my feet and took my left hand. He slid the band down my ring finger. I stared at it, then back at him .
Ring
Whiskey
Ring
Whiskey
Ring
It felt so odd there. New, but like my finger had been waiting for it all along. So good. So right .
“I got a wife you guys !”
Everyone laughed and cheered. Even Callaway, the ultimate confirmed bachelor .
Whiskey pulled me against him again and cupped my face .
“You are going to be my wife .”
“ I am .”
“I am going to be your husband .”
“ You are .”
I squealed as he picked me up and deposited me in the truck. He ran around the side and climbed into the driver’s seat. I saw Donnie pull out in Whiskey’s car with Sally. I spied Eliza in her car seat and instantly relaxed. Dev’s car followed right after with Kaylie and Janet .
My life was amazing. I felt like my heart would literally overflow. Our friends were going to spend the day helping us unpack and celebrate. Everything was perfect. Whiskey kissed me again and helped me fasten my seatbelt .
“You really picked out the ring last year ?”
He looked at me and smiled as he turned the ignition .
“I really did .”
“I won’t run away again .”
“I know you won’t .”
“Good .”
I leaned back in my seat .
“So how long do you think it will be until we are alone? One hour ? Two ?”
He groaned and shook his head .
“Probably longer .”
He wiggled his eyebrows at me .
“Want to swing by the no tell motel? We could tell them we got a flat .”
I bit my lip .
“Tempting, but I think we should skip it. Rain check ?”
“You know it, dollface .”
It sunk in during the ten minute drive to the side of town where most of the bikers lived. I stared out of the window, lost in thought. I was moving in with Whiskey. I was going to be a wife .
His wife .
I’d never been happier .

Whiskey Beard
SIX MONTHS LATER
“I put a deposit down last week .”
“ You what ?”
Becky stared at me, bouncing Eliza on her hip. She was agitated, but you would never know it from the gentle and loving way she handled our baby .
“Well, I thought it would be nice to have the party at the same place we had our first date .”
She scowled at me .
“We snuck out together. I wouldn’t call it a date. A date is planned .”
I smiled at her, leaning down to nip her neck .
“Well, I knew who I was going home with way before I got there. There was planning involved. Weeks of planning. Months .”
“Stop changing the subject. You are doing it again .”
“ Doing what ?”
I breathed heavily against the tender skin just below her jaw. That was the spot that always made her melt. Not this time though. She sighed and wiggled away .
“Trying to distract me by being sweet! Meanwhile, you are secretly being all high-handed about planning our wedding !”
“You are so busy with school and Petunia. I just thought I would help out .”
“No, you thought I was dragging my heels and took it on yourself to speed things up !”
I grinned at her .
“Okay .”
“There is a lot to do !”
“ I know .”
I pulled her against me, cradling the baby between us. I could feel the firm roundness of her belly. She wasn’t as soft as usual. It made me swell up with pride .
My Becky had a bun in the oven. And this time I’d be there every step of the way to watch it bake .
“I just thought you might want to do it before you start showing .”
“Before I what ?!?”
She stared at me, outraged. I raised my eyebrows. Finally she threw her hands up, giving me a pissy look .
“How did you know ?”
“Sweetheart, I pay extremely close attention to these curves of yours. I notice everything .”
I squeezed her rump as I said it and she giggled .
“That’s my girl. When were you planning on telling me ?”
“I don’t know. I was still coming to terms with it .”
“Uh huh. Not getting itchy feet are you ?”
She looked serious suddenly. I tried not to worry about her taking off, but I still did. I couldn’t help it .
“No, Whiskey .”
She kissed me .
