Declan is the only man for me. Always will be.

“Yes. I’ll marry you.”

“Give me that hand then, sweetheart.”

I hold out my left hand, and he slides on the stunning coffin-cut black diamond, surrounded by white gems on a gold band.

“That is just perfect, Declan,” I whisper, watching it sparkle under the lights.

“A reminder that even the darkest times can have a sparkle.”

Tears cascade down my face and he jumps up to his feet and lifts me into his arms, smothering me with kisses. My back crashes against the wall, the flowers a soft cushion, as his fingers thread through my ponytail.

“My wife,” he growls.

I squeeze my legs tighter around him, feeling his dick press against me.

“B-but I didn’t play the game?” I ask, batting my lashes.

“We are now.”

He pulls out the diamante cuffs from the inside of his pocket and shrugs off his jacket, tossing it across the floor. Rolling up his sleeves, I look at how well the colored ink is healing on his forearm.

It was so sweet watching Isabella pick each color and where she wanted it to go.

He’s become her own personal coloring pad.

He drops me down onto my feet, and I hold out my wrists.

“I’ve had extra padding put on these so it doesn’t hurt your scars.”

I smile looking up at him as my heart swells with love.

“Thank you.”

“Anything for you.”

He carefully secures them on each wrist.

“Now, let me see what's under that coat. Show me what’s mine.”

I slowly untie the belt and let it fall to the ground.

His mouth almost hits the floor as his eyes rake over my body.

“Mmm, I could come in my pants again just watching you, heartbreaker.” His gravelly voice lights me up.

“Oh, yeah?” I do a three-sixty spin to show him every inch of me.

“God, your ass is so close to being ready for me,” he groans as he speaks, and the air crackles around us as I face him again.

I clench my thighs together to try and relieve the pressure building in my core.

“Open your legs and bend over.” He spanks my ass hard, and I do exactly as he tells me.

As he peels my thong away from me and rests it over my ass, I shiver under his touch as his wet finger slides along my pussy and towards my back entrance.

“Now, sweetheart. Today we’re stepping up a size,” he tells me, sliding a finger into my ass and his thumb into my pussy.
