Well, that had her attention, and she really wanted to be part of the family. She had never had one before.

Remington watched as his family, the people he loved so very much and had helped him heal after his loss, took care of his girl.

They draped her in sparkles, and they doted on her like she was super special. He knew they were doing that for him, and he couldn’t love them more.

They could have picked them for themselves, but they wanted Calyx to feel like one of them.

The only thing they didn’t give her?

The diamond rings.

Why?

They knew what was in his pocket just waiting to be put on her finger.

When Maura winked at him, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Take this home for Emma,” Jagger said, handing Greyson a gorgeous emerald necklace with the earrings that matched.”

“I will, thank you. She loves emeralds.”

Rogue picked out a giant cocktail ring that had to be ten carats and handed it to Heath.

“Give this to Nikki. It’ll look beautiful on her hand, and she’ll love it.”

He grinned.

“She will really be knocking people out with that stone. It’s almost as big as Nikki’s knockers. Almost.”

Maura laughed.

“No, it’s really not. We’ve all seen her waving them around.”

He winked at the Major.

Dimitri sputtered.

“How come she can talk about Nikki’s knockers, but if I say a word…?”

He shut that down.

“Because that’s the Major. The only person I’d pause to listen to over her is my father.”

Greyson patted Dimitri on the back.

“Son, give it up.”

He was going to.

When they handed Dimitri a canary diamond pendant on a platinum chain, Jagger explained.

“That looks classy like Poppy. I think she’d like that one.”

He grinned.

“She is classy, isn’t she. I have no idea why she’s with me,” he said, the Russian accent in his voice.

Before Heath could say anything snarky, MATE appeared beside him.
