I whisper to myself, “Think we might just have movie night at the house later.”
Decker walks up to me just as Wells Covington does the same. It’s kind of hilarious. Decker doesn’t know what to do and kind of pauses, then hems and haws.
“Congratulations, you crazy son of a bitch.” Covington shakes my hand.
“Thanks for coming.”
Covington glares back at Decker. “You can come over here if you want, asshole.”
Decker, being the actual asshole that he is, stops for a second, presumably to show Covington he’s not just going to do whatever he tells him to.
“Just come over here, you stubborn fuck.” I glance around to make sure Mary’s parents don’t hear me drop the f-bomb.
Decker walks up and it’s awkward as shit, but he says, “Congratulations.”
I look him in the eye. “Thanks for what you did. I mean it.”
Decker glances around, nervously, even though he tries to hide it. We all know it’s because Covington is standing right next to him.
I shake my head right at him. “You still haven’t figured it out, have you?”
Decker stiffens a little, then stares. “Figured what out?”
I gesture to Covington. “Why he doesn’t want you poking around in his fucking business.”
This time Covington’s eyes go wide, then narrow on mine, trying to hide how nervous he just got.
I shake my head, snickering. “Idiots.”
They both start to speak at the same time and effectively cut each other off.
Decker finally holds a hand out, gesturing for Covington to go first.
Covington glares right at me. “What exactly do you think you know?”
I glance back and forth at both of them, smirking my ass off. “Seriously?”
Decker nods like a damn kid being read a bedtime story and has to know the answer. I make a show of drawing it out, then I finally just stare at both of them and smirk.
“Isn’t it obvious?”
Decker looks like he’s going to kill me, and Covington doesn’t look far behind him.
“He’s an FBI informant. Buying parts of those companies to help the government bust a human trafficking organization.”
Decker’s face goes pale as a ghost.
Covington’s eyes damn near bug out of his head.
I turn. “Now, if you’ll excuse—”
Covington grips my arm, but not in a threatening way, more as if he’s curious. “Fuck that, how did you know?”
Decker leans in toward me now too. “Yeah, how the fuck…”
I wag a finger at them. “Magician never tells.” I walk away.
As I head in the opposite direction, Covington says to my back, “I’ll pay you triple what this cheap bastard pays to come work for me.”
“I love my job.” I glance back at Decker and grin. “For now.”
My filthy thoughts return to my newly acquired sex tape as Mary struts over to me, looking hotter than ever in her dress. I walk right up to her and my hands go to her hips. She hugs me again, and I kiss the top of her head.
“Fiancée.”
“Fiancé.”
We stand there for a moment in each other’s arms. I watch it slowly dawn on Mary, all that is going down as we look over at her parents.
“Ready to start the movie?” I ask, grinning. “We’re sitting right next to your parents. Told them it was your favorite movie of all time.”
She elbows me in the ribs. “Are we really watching Pretty Woman?”
“Oh yeah.” I nod. “Mom and Dad are gonna know your favorite movie is about a hooker.” I die laughing.
She turns to me, pink with embarrassment but grinning at the same time. “Stop lying to me. What are we really doing? You changed the movie or something. You wouldn’t do that.”
“You think too highly of me to be that noble.”
“Dom!” She pinches me on the arm.
“Ow, woman!” I wrap her up in a hug. “We’re going to dinner, okay? The theater was just for the trailer.”
She leans her head into me. “Thank you.”
“I’m not an animal. I wouldn’t play that movie in front of your parents unless you wanted me to.”
She shakes her head and glances down to her ring. “No, thank you. For being you. For loving me the way you do. You make me feel so special, and protected, and just—happy.”
I spin her around slowly and put my palms on her face, staring deep into her eyes, so she knows I mean every single word. “That’s all I want. All I ever want is for you to be happy, no matter what. I’ll work every day the rest of my life trying to make that happen.”
“I’ll do the same. Deal?” She holds up her pinky.
I wrap mine around it. “Deal.”
And that is a promise I will never break.
