Page 151 of Anything To Be With You

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

I glance up into his smiling face. "Yes, I’ll marry you."

He scoops me into his arms and kisses me deeply as he slips the stunning white gold Halo ring on my finger and surprisingly, it fits. He pulls out his phone and snaps a picture.

"How did you know the size?"

"Erin came shopping with me."

I narrow my eyes. "I don’t like you two hanging out. She knows too much and has a big mouth."

He chuckles and embraces me again. The elevator doors ding and a scream I would know anywhere echoes across the rooftop. Erin crashes into us and if it wasn’t for Luke holding me, she would’ve taken me down.

"I’m so happy!" she squeals in my ear, jumping up and down.

"Took you long enough," Gabe says.

I break away from my little group to find my family and closest friends strolling in our direction.

I whip around to face Luke. "They all knew?"

He nods, taking my face in his large hands. "They were waiting for the text." He kisses me again; this time we have applause to accompany it.

"My eyes!" Mason groans. "Ma! You’re such a pervert."

I giggle against Luke’s lips.

"Don’t hog the future Mrs. Archer," Gabe says as he moves his brother out of the way and picks me up. "Don’t tell Luke that I hit on you because he’ll kick my ass."

"Don’t piss me off and I won’t."

"I can’t promise anything." He winks and places me on my feet.

I make my rounds, getting hugs and kisses and congratulations from everyone. Mom’s a blubbering mess and Dad is misty eyed.

"He’s a good man, Dani," Dad says, kissing my hair. "All that man wants to do is love and take care of you. Let him."

Before I say anything back, Elle jumps in with a huge hug. "Do you like the set up?" Elle asks.

"It’s absolutely beautiful." I answer.

"I knew you’d like it." She squeals.

Another table is added to ours and more food is brought out.

"What’s all this?" I question as Luke walks over, wrapping an arm around my waist and looks down at me, smiling.

"Our engagement party."

After dinner was done and everyone went on their way, I changed into my pj’s and flop onto the couch. I am exhausted. With the proposal and the impromptu engagement party, I am done for the night.

Luke sits next to me, grabbing my legs and putting them on his lap, running his fingers slowly along my skin. I love having my skin touched. It’s the only thing that can relax me other than sex. His hand moves north slowly.

"Archer."

"Daniella."
