Page 50 of Reaching His Heart (The Sartoris 3)

Her heart thundered in her chest. “Cason.”

He straightened and raised his voice again. “I love you, and I want you to be my wife. You mean everything to me, and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much.”

She cried in earnest when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a little black case. The ring inside when he revealed it could outshine the sun it glimmered so much. It seemed like the Sartoris loved to show off their wealth because the rock was huge. Solette stared at it in shock, but Cason getting down on one knee made her forget about the size of the diamond. All that mattered was her assuring him she already belonged to him.

“I love you, Cason, and yes, yes, yes! I will marry you.”

He swooped her into his arms and held her so tight her ribs ached. She held on, kissing him, loving him with all of her being. Cheers rose all around them, but Solette couldn’t let go of the man she adored. At last, when they came up for air, they sat side-by-side, holding hands, their thighs touching beneath the table and Solette practically on Cason’s lap. She couldn’t get enough of him.

One by one, the family began standing, giving a few words of congratulations and well wishes. Solette listened while moving her hand about so the diamond e

ngagement ring caught the light. This was a dream come true.

Ezio stood. “Honestly, I never thought my little brother would give his heart to anyone, but I’m glad he’s given it to you, Solette. I approve.”

Solette looked up in time to see Sonya roll her eyes and mutter something. Romy quickly spoke above her and raised his glass. “Fratellino, may you and Solette share a life of perfect happiness. I for one did believe someone special would win your heart, and Solette is very special. I knew the person who drew your love would find a great treasure because you love far deeper than Ezio and I put together. Auguri e figli maschi!”

“Here, here!” The crowd shouted.

Solette leaned over to Cason. “What did that last part mean?”

He looked too excited by whatever it was. Beneath the table, he ran a hand along her thigh and squeezed. Chills of delight raced through her body. “He wishes us many sons.”

“Many!”

He winked. “We’ll work on it as soon as I can get you out of here.”

Solette forgot her natural reserve and slid her hand up along his muscular thigh. “I can’t wait.”

Cason scraped his chair back and jumped to his feet. “Party over!”

A short while later, they were on their way to an incredible life together, overflowing with love, desire, and fulfillment.
