By the time they were out of their shifts, the moon was gone from the sky and the woods had quieted. He drove them to the apartment and carried his mate up the stairs to their temporary home.
But before they tumbled into bed, he asked her to marry him and gave her a ring that had belonged to his great-grandmother.
As her happy tears fell and he slipped the ring on her finger, he didn’t worry about anything but making her happy in as many ways as possible, in and out of bed. He wanted to always see her smile, always keep her safe.
He’d never been happier than he was at that moment, kissing his mate. She was the other half of his heart and the most important person in his life.
Chapter
Nineteen
“I have an idea,” Jade said the following afternoon as she and Brick relaxed in the apartment over the garage after lunch with his parents.
“A sexy one? You’re insatiable,” he said, his eyes dancing.
She rolled her eyes. Then she swung her leg over his and straddled his lap. Leaning in for a kiss, she said, “I’m always thinking sexy things about you. But I was wondering if we could go out?”
“Out…of the territory?”
“Yep.”
“For what?” He slid his hands slowly up her sides, delving under her top.
“A date.”
His brows rose. He cupped her face and drew her down for a kiss. “I’d love to take you out. Did you have something in mind? We’ll also need an escort, of course.”
Leaning into him, she rested her head on his shoulder. “Something fun.”
His wolf rumbled in his chest.
“Have you been to Lykos?”
“The shifter bar?”
“Yep. I haven’t been in a while. The last time I was there, I was escorting Brooke and Harper.”
“Oh, I like them, they’re sweet,” she said. “So it’s a date?”
“Of course. We’ll grab a bite and hit the bar for some hot and heavy dancing, and then I’ll sex you up good when we get home.”
She grinned. “You can sex me up good right now.”
He grabbed her tightly and rose to his feet, hauling her over his shoulder. “Whatever my sweetheart wants.”
She giggled as she landed upside down, staring at his butt.
“Just you, Brick. And a night out.”
“You got both.”
“Hey, want some company?” someone called from the street as she and Brick walked out of the house to meet up with Leo and Solan, who would be their security escorts for their night out.
Jade looked to the road and saw Cinder waving from the front seat of a dark blue SUV.
“Sure!” She hurried down the driveway and told them what their plans were.
“You two can ride with us,” Adam said. “Leo and Solan are waiting.”
