“It’s not gonna be a surprise if you see it.”
She continued to laugh as I put her in the passenger side of my truck and closed the door.
We’d been living with Micah and Ensley since everything had gone down. Katie didn’t want to go anywhere near her apartment, and my old place had sold.
We could’ve stayed at the clubhouse but chose this instead.
Turning on the truck, I pulled out of the drive, down the lane, and onto a dirt road. It was rough, but I had to put everything into high gear and the road was the last on the list. With some serious cake, it was close to being finished.
“You know me, bumping around and having my hands over my eyes is not working,” she groaned as we hit another bump.
I pulled her over and wrapped my arm around her, steadying her between the bumps.
The ride only took minutes. We were only going on the other side of Micah’s large property.
Coming to a stop, I turned off the engine. “Can you come out my side without openin’ your eyes?”
“I guess.”
She started to move clumsily which made me smile. Fuck, I loved this woman. I scooped her up in my arms with ease, pulled her out, and set her feet on the ground.
“Open your eyes,” I told her. Instead of looking at the sight in front of us, I watched my Katie.
She slowly opened her eyes, doing it in a cute way where she opened one hoping there wasn’t going to be a snake that jumped out and bit her.
But when she saw, both eyes flew open and her hand went over her mouth.
“Is this…”
“Ours,” I completed her sentence and wrapped her in my arms. “It’s a place of our own. Still close to family and the club, but private for us.”
In front of us stood a two-story five bedroom, six bath brand new home. The outside had a dark blue siding, and all the windows were trimmed in white. There was a wraparound porch that literally went all around the house.
“What… Dry… I..”
Her words kept getting cut off. “Five bedrooms.”
Her eyes grew even wider. “What? Why?”
“Gotta have room to grow. Want my babies growin’ inside you, Wild Kat.”
A tear rolled down her face. “I always thought I wouldn’t have kids because of how I grew up, but I can see it. Here in this house with you. Our family.”
I reached in my pocket and pulled out what had been burning a hole in it for two months now. Waiting was fucking hard.
Grabbing her left hand gently, I glided the ring down her finger. “Time to make it official. I’m yours, and you’re mine. Wanna do it all with you, Katie. Everything with you.”
With my head next to hers still holding her from behind, I could feel the tears leaking from her eyes. Since I knew these were good ones, I didn’t say anything.
“Fuckin’ love you, Wild Kat. It’s been a bumpy ride, but here we are standin’.”
Katie turned in my arms, tears and all. “Yes. Absolutely yes.”
My lips came down on hers, and I officially claimed what had been mine all along.
