“You have to promise me you’ll be careful. Don’t do anything that could put you in harm’s way. Lose a fucking race if that’s the answer. Nothing can happen to you. I can’t lose you,” he said fiercely. “I won’t lose you. I’d break into Heaven and take you back if I had to.”
I smiled, my eyes still leaking, and I nodded. “I promise.”
He pressed a kiss to my lips one more time, then lowered me to the ground. I started to turn and sprint back to Zephyr when strong fingers wrapped around my wrist, stopping me.
I glanced down at his tanned hand and then up at him.
“One more thing,” he said, lowering himself until he was on one knee.
The universe went silent around me. I stared down at him. It felt as if everything had gone into slow motion. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small silver box. With his eyes never leaving my face, he flipped it open. Inside the black satin sat a vivid blue teardrop stone that wasn’t the blue sapphire on my necklace but something much more unique. Was there such a thing as blue diamonds? Whatever it was, the stone was breathtaking. But my favorite part was that it sat inside a diamond horseshoe.
I lifted my eyes up to meet Thatcher’s. The raw vulnerability broke me and put me back together again, all at the same time. How could anyone believe this man was without emotion? This power of his surrounded the space around us.
“Little doll,” he began, but I blurted out
“Yes!” before he could say anymore.
“I’d prepared sweet shit to say,” he told me with a slight tug on his lips.
I nodded. “Okay, say it, but just know my answer is yes.”
He pressed a kiss to my ring finger while his eyes held mine. “I can’t promise you I won’t do things you don’t like. But I can swear to you that I will worship you in this life and follow your sweet ass into the next.” He slid the ring onto my finger and then stood up, pulling me into his arms.
“It’s forever, little doll. Me, my legions, and black soul all belong to you.”
