“The girls aren’t who I’m looking out for.” I shook my head. “They’re making assess out of you two.”

“Ah, hell nah,” Rooster argued. “We had them running scared.”

“There you go trying to show off your intelligence again.” Susana smiled as she said, “Should I break out the crayons and try to explain it to you?”

The room erupted into laughter. Even I had a chuckle or two. Rooster and Torch continued to carry on with the girls, and it wasn’t long before Darby leaned over to me and whispered, “I’d forgotten how much I loved her.”

“She’s a good one.”

“Yes, she is. You best hold onto her.”

“Oh, I’m planning on it. I’ve already picked out the ring. Just waiting on the right time.”

“While you’re at it, I think Dalton needs a little brother or sister.”

“Hey, slow down. We’re just settling in. It’s a little early to be talking about another kid, but when she’s ready, I’m ready.”

“Good.” She gave me a little nudge with her elbow. “It’s good to see you happy.”

“Thanks, sis.”

We finished off our drinks, and I was about to go grab another when Londyn came up behind me and grabbed my hand. She led me out of the bar, and as soon as we were in the hall, she inched up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to mine, kissing me long and hard. It was urgent, full of need, and all her little whimpers and moans spurred me on even more. As usual, it wasn’t long before I started to get lost in the moment.

I couldn’t help it.

There was just something about her that got to me in a way that no one else could. I loved her wholeheartedly, and I couldn’t wait a minute longer to say, “Marry me.”

“What?”

“Marry me.” Her eyes locked on mine as I told her, “You make the good days even better, and you give me the strength to get through the bad ones... You’re my everything, and I want the whole world to know it.”

“Yes, Malcomb. I’ll marry you.”

And just like that, I had my girl, my son, and my brothers.

A man couldn’t ask for more than that.

The End
