“If you’re going to be thrown to the wolves, at least pretend you know how to howl.
This can’t be happening. There are three of them. Identical triplets. All three stunningly handsome. All three staring directly at me.
“I miss my friend who used to dance on bar tops with me and the one who’d call me to go get ice cream at three in the morning
I want to hear you say what you want. I want to know I’m making you feel how you want to feel.
I have never been more turned on in my life.
Give me your blessing on this and grant me this one last thing.”
I’ve known him such a short time, but I know he’ll be taking my heart with him
We say goodbye in the early morning light with the palm trees rustling in the breeze outside and with what feels like a hurricane of emotion raging inside me.
I know he wasn’t called back early for meetings.
I know that Ocean’s Edge will always hold a special place in my heart.
“We’re offering you a full-time position at Sharpe International,”
“Like you are looking at the new Vice President of On-site Transition for Sharpe International Network.”
“Those are things I still want, Collins, but I want you more.”
“Shh. The answer to the question, Collins—to what’s in it for you—is us.”
“Ledger’s offer—our offer—still stands. Start your company, be your own boss, but let us be your client. Let us help you build your portfolio.”
“And as the new VP, I have some serious demands.”
“That you must be on-site with me. That we work as partners. As equals. No more hiding.
Who knew these weekends away at their father’s estate in Sag Harbor would further heal the wounds and strengthen the bonds they have been mending over the past twelve months?
Effortless. That’s what this is between us and it still astounds me every time we’re together. How easy this love we have is.
A young Maxton Sharpe is standing on a sandy bluff, the sun is overhead, and a peculiar yet unmistakable stack of rocks is to his right.
It is the bluff in the Virgin Islands. The same one Callahan took me to on our last night together
“He was there. He remembered.”
The deal for the resort, the reasons he let his father sign the deal, and the reason we met, all were valid.
Maybe one day you’ll fall in love and bring her to this place too, Callahan. Your mother would love that.
“I do. It’s as simple as that. I want to marry you, Sutton Pierce. And I will give you a lifetime of the luxuries you deserve, of all the sexy panties you want, but all I have to offer you in return is me. The me who’s stubborn and defiant and sometimes a little unyielding. The same me who promises to love you with all my heart.” I chuckle. “Not that I ever had an option when it came to you.”
“This—you—us—is all I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve ever needed. All the fancy stuff doesn’t matter, Callahan, because at the end of the day, it comes down to you and me and the naked truth that I love you with all my heart and would be honored to be your wife and share your family with you.”
I open the box and pull the ring out. “I’ve only ever loved two women in my life, Sutton, you and my mother. It’s only fitting that you wear what was once hers. What was once a symbol of an unbreakable love across time, beyond sickness, and even after death.”
“Will you marry me?”
“Yes. A million times . . . yes.”
