Page 91 of His Vicious Desire

Admitting it.“The blue dress with all the flowers.You look good in blue.”

“Because you like it.I’ll wear it.”

Damn, I’m lucky.“I’m sorry you aren’t having the wedding you deserve.We can?—”

“Don’t say you’re sorry, because I’m not.I don’t want or need the big dress and all the flowers.All I want is a ring and you.I’ve waited for so many years for you, all that matters is you’re finally mine.”Her smile is huge.I wonder if a person truly needs air to breathe because I’m certain I could live off her smile alone.

She’s waited long enough, I reach into my pocket and pull out the box.“You have me, I’m all yours.This is to ensure you never forget it.”

Opening the box, her eyes go wide.“Oh my god, you got into my social media.I’ve loved this ring.It’s beautiful.Thank you.”

Her hands are trembling as I take the ring from the box and slide the engagement ring on her finger.It’s an art deco three-stone diamond ring in platinum.The side diamonds are three carats apiece, and the middle one is five carats.“It’s so big.”

“So that if anyone looks your way they see their competition and how much I prize my woman.”

“Ooh, sounds Neanderthal again.”She teases as she runs a finger over her diamonds.

“Damn straight.Wait until you see your wedding band.”I growl as I pull her to me.Stealing, a kiss I’m trying to remember people will be here very soon.So I let her go so she can change.

“Oh no, I forgot to get your wedding band.”A little knot appears in her forehead.“I promise I’ll work harder so that you’re not the only one always taking care of everything.The way you take care of me…I’ll do better.”

Shaking my head, I run my hand over her cheek.“I love taking care of you.You happy brings the kind of light into my life I never thought I would have.Something I didn’t think I deserved.The way you take care of me is by being happy, smiling, and loving me.That’s all I need.”

She’s blinking back tears.“I was worried you would grow to resent me and I don’t want that.Whatever?—”

“Hey, listen to me.Look me in my eyes.The way you take care of me and keep me happy is being yourself, loving me, and being by my side.That’s all I need.There are benefits to having a Neanderthal as a husband, we’re simple beings.”

Giggling, she nods.“Okay, but if ever?—”

“If ever, I’ll communicate and we’ll work it out.There’s no escape from me until I draw my last breath.”

“I’m holding you to that promise.”

“As you should.Now go get changed.”I smack her ass and love the way her ass bounces.Fuck, I’m a lucky bastard.

When she comes out, I smile.It’s an ice-blue long dress with sheer sleeves that have the same flowers as the skirt.She looks like a winter queen.

I sweep her up in my arms.“Gorgeous.”

Less than ten minutes later, the knock on my door tears me away from my beautiful woman.It’s Nico.I wasn’t sure he’d come.I’d asked but told him that he didn’t have to.

I’m glad I warned Bianca before he arrived.Not only about his scars, but about how he refused to smile because he believed it made the scars look worse.

Her smile isn’t false or forced as she greets him.“Hello, thanks for coming.I hope you don’t get in trouble or anything.”

Shaking his head, he nods to me.“It’s worth it.I don’t think it’s as bad as he does.I’ll be back at the cameras before anyone is aware I’m gone.”

She’s curious.“So you watch all the cameras all the time?”

“While I have access to all of our cameras from the room in the desert to the casino and hotels, I keep an eye on the ones people shouldn’t be on.It’s not as demanding as it sounds.There’s a reason why I’m the only one who does it.You sure you want to marry him?He’s kind of an asshole.”

Laughing, she nods.“I’m more than aware.Don’t tell him, but it’s kind of his charm.”

The doorbell goes off again.It’s Dario and the officiant.

Dario brought the flowers I asked him for, pink tulips and white roses.I’m unable to hide my smile at how happy she is with the flowers.While she’s loving on the flowers, he shows the cake I completely forgot about.It’s her favorite, a coconut cream cake in white and pink.

I’m embarrassed I forgot about photos when Dario takes photos of us and has us posing.No one says a word when Nico stays well away from the camera and talks to the officiant.
