“You always wanted to wrap a ball and chain around a nigga leg?” Isa asked. Aria paused mid-stroke, turning to him with the paintbrush in her hand.

“Is that what I’m doing?” Aria asked, chuckling.

“I mean, yeah. Dealing with one woman for the rest of my life sound a little bit like prison. Same four walls for the rest of my life. That’s a life sentence for my dick,” Isa stated.

Aria laughed from her soul. “You make it sound horrible!” she exclaimed. “Why would you ask me to marry you if this is how you feel about it?”

Isa kicked one foot up on the coffee table in front of him as one hand went behind his head and the other hand brought a lit blunt to his lips. He took his time answering her. Brows bent. Deep in thought.

“That was the price of admission, and I wanted in,” Isa answered.

Aria bent down and dipped her paintbrush into the red paint. She turned to the wall. She didn’t know how she felt about him marrying her for such shallow reasons. “So love had nothing to do with it. Wow. Doesn’t seem like a good reason to choose someone forever.”

Isa heard her feelings crack as if they had shattered all over the floor. He knew he wasn’t a Prince Charming type. He came off callous and cold. His love language hadn’t been discovered yet. It definitely wasn’t one out of the book he saw Aria reading at night. His love language was protection. He guarded everything that meant something to him. Aria was an asset in his life; therefore, she had a shooter on her team. Before she even knew he would wage wars over her, it was already established. He knew she would be something special when he first saw her onstage, and when she gave him attitude while walking by him all those years ago, Isa knew she had potential. The chase had been a plus because it proved she wasn’t easy. She was a challenge, and when he finally caught her, he realized she was a diamond among stones. You protect a jewel. Especially the rare ones, so Isa went into beast mode with her. Any other nigga that got close got snuffed, because she was his whether she knew it or not. His way might not have been conventional, but it was his expression of love. He didn’t have a mushy bone in his body. If she wanted romance, he wasn’t the one for her, but that protection she had for life. He rose from the couch and walked up behind her. He wrapped tattooed arms around her small frame, bending some because she was so short.

“Stop, Isa,” she said softly. Yeah, she was upset. Aria didn’t do anything soft. She hid behind a tough-girl façade.

“You know what it is with us, Ali,” Isa said, moving her hair out the way so he could kiss the back of her neck. He bit her, teeth sinking into her shoulder just enough to cause a slight pinch.
