Ripley's Saint
Page 27
“I love you, Ripley, and I’m ready. I’m ready to watch your body whack out and make room for my babies. I’m ready to fight with you about the volume of pink shit in our house and spend all night making up. I’m ready to sit out on the patio as an old man with you in my lap while we watch our grandkids tear up the backyard. Will you marry me?”
Lips trembling, breathless, and not sure if she was going to cry or laugh at him, Ripley looked at the glittering diamond Saint held up between them. It was pink. A princess cut, pale pink diamond set on a band of smaller diamonds. It was simple, elegant, and everything she had ever dreamed of.
But, one tiny problem.
“You’re ready to watch my body whack out?” she hiccuped incredulously.
Saint redeemed himself with a husky growl. “Hell yeah. Ever since I saw you go goofy over holding Harper, I’ve been dying to watch your tits get bigger. Feel how your belly stretches, packed full with my babies. Imagine how you’ll wear sexy shit like you’ve got on now to show off your bump.”
Throat tight, bursting to say yes, Ripley struggled to keep a straight face.
“I like my house just the way it is. I’ll give on the bedroom, and you can build a man cave in the backyard or something. I promise I won’t set foot in there or tell you how to decorate it.”
“Deal. Top is pretty keen on having the ceremony here-”
“Absolutely. Whole hog, no cut corners, dream wedding, and you have to wear a tux.”
“So long as it’s not pink, I’ll wear whatever the fuck you want me to. Say it.”
Ripley swallowed hard, but the words just rolled right off her tongue. “Yes. I’ll marry you.”
Saint slid the ring over her finger, grinning like crazy, and from their right, a loud whooping cheer went up from the club. Followed by Ripley’s shriek as someone popped a bottle of champagne and shook it up, spraying them in the freezing cold, sparkling liquid. Saint turned to protect her from getting drenched, both of them laughing while they kissed, tasting the sweetness of the wine between their lips.
“I love you, princess.”
“I love you, too.”
The end…

Thank you so much to everyone who’s purchased RIPLEY’S SAINT! If you enjoyed reading this novel as much as I enjoyed writing it, please take a moment to leave a review!
Reviews and word of mouth are the best way for you to let the author know how you feel!
It also gives me the warm fuzzies, even if you didn’t like the book, and encourages me to continue!
I know some of you are groaning about this being a tiny bit of a cliffhanger, but I promise it won’t be for long!
We met a lot of new characters in this book, and I can assure you all that you’ll be meeting them again in their own individual stories.
Everyone knows of or has heard of the capital city of Texas, but I’m creating a fictitious and deliciously salacious world within Austin, an alternate reality if you will, through the connectivity of the different collections and stories.
Copperhead and HWY 1431 are real places in the Texas Hill Country where it’s not uncommon to see a bunch of bikers, just as different landmarks and locations were used as inspiration for Ripley’s Saint.
Thank you for your time and your purchase!
Happy Reading,
~Isabel.
