Salvation (Surrender 3) - Page 154

“Some people do. It depends on what the couple puts on their registry.”

“Get what you need right away, but put the rest on our registry.”

His words shock me into silence. Did he just say ‘our registry’?

“What?” I whisper, scared to death I heard him wrong.

“I figure it’s better to get the things you want than some fucking shit you have to return.”

“Sweetie, you need to be getting married to have a registry.”

“Even I know that, Ember.”

“I’m a little lost here.”

“So let me help you.” He backs away and lifts me to the counter, then cages me in with his arms. “You realize we were supposed to be in this house a while ago. The fire and renovations pushed that back. My plan never faltered. There were times I almost slipped, but it was important to have everything perfect.”

“What —”

He shuts me up by sweeping his lips over mine. “Buying this place isn’t the only thing that becomes official today. Today is the day you agree to marry me.”

My breath hitches when Robbie steps back and pulls something from his back pocket. He lifts my hand to his lips, kissing my wrist. Then he slides a ring onto my finger. I try to look, but my eyes are locked with his.

“Declan told me once that no one would ever love Raven as much as him. He swears it’s not physically possible to adore her more than he does. I called him a pussy, but I now know exactly how he feels. You are that person to me. I not only adore you, I cherish you and every single thing that makes you. There’s only one thing I want more than you to be Ember Lyn Hayes, and that is to build a family with you.

“I’m asking you to marry me. Help make my dreams come true.”

Tears cloud my vision and finally spill down my face, allowing me to see his beautiful eyes clearly. They are swimming in love. The moment is too perfect to speak, so I nod my head.

“Say yes, baby.”

“Yes!” I scream, startling us both. My hands grip his shirt, yanking him to me. He grins then slams his mouth to mine. I can tell he’s trying to go slow, so I take over, devouring him.

We kiss until both our lips are swollen and we’re breathless. He pulls away, planting soft kisses along my jawline.

“We’re getting a registry.”

“Yep.”

“Is this really happening?”

“Absolutely.”

“I’m get

ting married to the man of my dreams.”

“I feel the same way.”

He moves away, bringing my hand to his mouth again. I finally get the first look at my ring. Every woman has an idea of what they want on their finger for the rest of their lives, and this is mine. It’s perfect. The princess cut stone is surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds that branch down and around the band.

“I love it.”

“It’s you.”

Something hits me, and I pull back to look at him. “You said your plan never faltered. What did that mean?

“I wanted to ask you the day this house became ours. I’ve had the ring quite a while. So many times, especially in the last three weeks, I’ve wanted to slide it on your finger.”
