“Do it. I want to see their faces. Oh, and Dakota?” she asked.
He waited.
“I love you. I’m glad you figured it out. I was going to propose myself, but it entailed hitting you over the head and dragging you to the courthouse.”
He grinned.
“Kinky. I like it, Adder. Maybe the first part later.”

He was in love.
And the only thing he wanted was Adder.
As.
His.
Wife.
