Chapter Thirteen

Holly

“I can’t believe he proposed when I was hot, sweaty, and naked!” I stomped around Barb’s office. “Who does that?”

“A Dakonian.” After stowing her purse in her desk drawer, Barb faced me, hands on her hips. Thank goodness Kord had Clemmy today so I could have her undivided attention.

The second Barb had stepped into the restaurant and started up the stairs, I’d dashed after her. I needed to talk to somebody who would understand how crazy this was. How crazy I was. Despite my ambivalence and turmoil over getting so serious so fast, Braxx and I had spent the night testing the springs of my mattress.

“How did he take it when you said no? I assume you said no, or the first words out of your mouth would have been, Braxx and I are mated!”

“I didn’t say no.” I couldn’t because, as insane as it was, I yearned to be his mate so badly I ached. He was an awesome guy. Considerate, helpful, good-hearted, handsome with a rockin’ bod, and between the sheets? Be still my fluttering pussy. It was hard to believe he hadn’t done the deed before. He’d saved himself…for me. His Fated mate, if you could believe in that. It should have been nerdy or weird, but it was sweet and hot.

I’d begun thinking about a future with him before he’d popped the question, envisioning us moving in together, maybe buying a house in the burbs, grocery shopping and cooking, sharing coffee in the morning, walking the dog we’d get, taking little weekend getaways. Doing all the normal couple things—except planning for a family. But maybe, like Barb had suggested, his work and volunteerism would fill the void.

Except now we’d lost Anthony.

No, stay positive. We’ll find him. We’d called this morning and left another message for Tyra.

Barb blinked. “You said yes?”

“No. I told him I needed time.”

“He understands you can’t have kids, right?”

“Yes. I informed him. Brought it up again last night. He says it doesn’t matter. He just wants me.”

“So, what’s the hesitation?”

“What if he changes his mind about the kids? And it’s so fast…”

“Fast? The man’s been stalking you for a year.”

“We’ve only been going out for a month.”

“You’ve spoken to him every day since he started coming into the restaurant. Married couples don’t spend as much time talking as you do.”

Except our conversations went something like:

“Why do you keep coming here?”

“You’re my mate.”

“Stop saying that!”

“So you think it would work?”

“If you can be as happy as Kord and I are, grab him and don’t let go. You deserve a great guy who loves you. I always thought you two could have something special if you would allow it.”

A heady excitement fueled by possibilities rose up inside. What if? What if I just went for it? Yes, I’ll be your mate. I practiced the words. My heart pounded, but I liked the way they felt, the way they sounded.

Why wait anyway? We had only been a couple for a short time, but we had known each other for a year.
