Fearlessly Yours (Best Friends Book Club, #3)

by Jennifer Chipman

“But you do. You do deserve me.” “And I’m going to prove that to you every day for the rest of our lives. If you’ll let me.” “That’s a bit presumptuous, Mr. Sullivan.” “One day, I’m going to make you Mrs. Sullivan.” I scrunched up my nose. “That’s your mom,” I laughed. “And Angelina.” “And you, too… If you want.”

“Did you know otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart?” Gabbi mumbled sleepily after I tucked her into my side, completely exhausted after I’d made her come another time. I tried to go slow, but she’d practically jumped me after I’d caressed her backside, and I couldn’t really complain. “What?” I asked, tracing a finger over the tattoo behind her ear. “I think it’s cute. They don’t want to be separated from the one they love, even when they sleep. Very romantic, those otters.” “Are you asking me to hold your hand while we sleep, sweetheart?” “Mhm,” she said as she burrowed into my chest, and I intertwined our free hands together. “I’ll never let you go,” I promised. “Good,”

“Are you asking me to move in with you?” I chuckled. “Okay, it’s a metaphorical key. Technically, it’s a key to your apartment. Because I know you love that place, and it’s bigger than mine, and I don’t want to uproot Toothless into a new home. But I am asking you if you want to move in together, officially, because I’m tired of going back and forth between our places.” “If I say yes, will you stop sneaking over your loads of stuff when you think I’m not looking?”

“Gabrielle Amelia Meyer. Would you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife? I want you by my side every minute of every day, and there’s nothing I want more than to go on this adventure with you.” “Yes,” I nodded. “A thousand times, yes. Life with you has been the best adventure I could have asked for.”

“I can’t wait to build our dream home together. And marry you. Fuck, Gabrielle. I can’t wait to call you my wife.” As I stroked Rowan’s soft brown coat, I snuggled into his chest. “I can’t wait for everything with you, Hunter Tobias Sullivan.” He grinned. “Told you I’d make you Mrs. Sullivan.”

Quinlan. I’d named her after my favorite character from my favorite book. Somehow, my husband enjoyed reading my books with me, so I’d gotten him to read them as well. He shared the main male love interest’s name, anyway, so it was perfect.

I knew she was named after Bryce!!

They were my entire world. The best life adventure. One I couldn’t wait to keep experiencing every single day. For the rest of our lives.
