Loving Violet (Rockers' Legacy Book 4)
I stroked my fingertips over his jaw, smiling when I felt his scruff. “I love you.”
His eyes filled with tears, and one splashed onto my cheek. “Fuck, Violet. I love you more than life. I never thought… I always knew it was you. That you had my heart. But I never let myself hope you would love me back.”
“Not even when you asked me to be with you?”
“Not even then.”
My heart broke, and I couldn’t hold back my own tears. “Well, it happened, you big dummy. I love you. You’re my forever.”
“No,” he denied, a sad smile tilting his lips. “You’re my forever.”
I mock-glared at him. “I’m not going to argue with you over who is whose forever.”
“Whatever you want, my love.”
“Whatever I want, huh?” I murmured with a smile. “So, does that mean you’ll go with me to the wedding?”
“You go to the wedding with Shaw,” he suggested, and I started to pout. “And then I’ll join you for the reception.”
“But—”
“Violet, let’s not cause a scene at the wedding, okay?” he urged.
I frowned. “How would we cause a scene?”
He sighed heavily and then rolled us so I was on top of him once again. “When the footballer sees you, he’s not going to be able to take his eyes off you. And I can’t blame him. How can I? You’re so sweet and beautiful. The most precious person I’ve ever met. And you’re mine now because he fucked up.”
“Remi…”
He pulled my head back down onto his chest. “When he sees me with you, and he realizes you’re mine now, he’s going to lose his mind.”
“He won’t—” I tried to argue, but Remington touched his index finger to my lips.
“Trust me, Violet. He will.” His eyes darkened. “And again, I can’t blame him. Because if the roles were reversed, I know I would do exactly the same thing. So, if you really want me to go with you, I will join you at the reception. That way, at least the wedding itself isn’t disrupted.”
“Okay.” I gave in. “But there won’t be any issues. Not only because I know Luca has moved on and won’t care, but because I’m going to talk to Lyric and make him promise Luca stays away from us.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stay away from you. Nothing could hold me back once I saw you again.”
I kissed my way up his chest to his neck then his jaw before finally brushing my lips over his. I felt his body respond, and I shifted so I was
straddling his waist. “You’ll never have to stay away from me, Remi. Because I’m yours. Now and forever.”
“My forever,” he said with a groan, making it sound like a prayer as I took him inside me.
Chapter 35
Violet
Aunt Emmie seemed so harried by all the flight plans—using every private jet at her disposal to fly all of Lyric’s side of the family in for the wedding so the small town of Creswell Springs wasn’t overrun from all the paparazzi that followed us around like the leeches they were—that she didn’t even question it when I told her she didn’t need to worry about fitting Shaw or me into the schedule.
Remington had his own plane, and we stopped to pick up Shaw before heading to the local airport about half an hour or so from where Lyric now lived. Shaw and I got ready on the plane, and a nondescript car was waiting for us when we landed.
Once we got to the wedding, the driver would go back for Remington, while Krush stayed on the plane with the flight attendant and pilot. I kissed both my guys goodbye and then got into the back of the car with my best friend.
On the ride, I sent a quick text to Lyric to remind him to keep Luca away from me. He’d already assured me he wouldn’t let his brother near me, but I hadn’t really told him why I needed the promise. Other than my parents, Shaw’s parents, Cannon, and Mason, no one else in my family knew about Remington. Aunt Emmie had been too busy dealing with Lyric’s wedding preparations—and from what I heard, the kidnapping of the bride and her twin sister, both of whom were pregnant.
With our family so worried about what was going on from that end, there hadn’t been time for me to casually drop the bomb that I was in a relationship with a guy who was supposedly one of the top ten richest people in North America.
