He looked at her and raised his eyebrows. “You ready?”

“I dropped my phone over the side of the balcony,” she said.

“Lawrence has it,” he said, grinning. “I told him you were going to hate this.”

“I don’t hate it,” Ginny said. “I just—a heads-up would’ve been nice.” She put a smile on her face, though, and nodded. “I’m ready.”

Spur turned, keeping her hand in his and started through the crowd gathered in front of the stands. Then on the lawn before the track. A roar swelled with every step Ginny took, and he finally burst through all the people.

Only the rail separated her from Cayden, who swung down off his horse and jogged toward her.

She ducked under the railing and stepped onto the track, which was so not as hard as she’d expected it to be. Her feet squished all over, and dirt filled her sandals. She laughed as she cried, and she kicked her shoes off just before Cayden swooped her into his arms.

They laughed together as he lifted her right up off her feet. She squealed and braced herself against his shoulders.

“They think you should say yes,” he said, pointing to the scoreboard where the poll results sat.

“All right, then,” she said. “Yes.”

Cayden’s eyes sparkled at her like dark diamonds. He filled her with joy, and she couldn’t believe she’d get to be his, and that he was willing to be hers.

Lawrence arrived, and he passed the mic down to Cayden, who turned toward the crowd and backed up. Ginny went with him, and he lifted the mic to his lips and said, “She said yes!”

Ginny didn’t know what fifteen thousand people screaming and whistling and clapping sounded like and looked like until that moment. She gazed up at all of them, her smile the realest one she’d ever worn.

Cayden lifted their joined hands, and Ginny laughed again.

“All right,” Cayden said into the mic, but a new chant started in the crowd, and he cupped his hand around his ear as if he really wanted to hear what they were saying. The words increased in volume, and Ginny recognized them before Cayden did.

“…kiss her, kiss her, kiss her!”

Cayden figured it out a few seconds later, and he turned toward Ginny, questions in his eyes.

She grabbed onto his face and drew him to her for a kiss, sending the crowd into another rousing round of yelling, this time with plenty of cat-calling.

“I love you,” Cayden said, somehow making the moment intimate though they literally stood in front of thousands and thousands of people.

“I love you too,” she whispered, her lips catching on his enough to warrant kissing him again.

Promoting the Cowboy Billionaire Chapter One:

Lawrence Chappell sighed as he stepped up to the mirror in the bathroom on the second floor at the homestead. He’d just showered for the second time that day, and he wished it was so he could go to bed clean.

Instead, he’d trim up his beard, splash on plenty of the cologne Olli had made for Spur, and get dressed in his best pair of jeans.
