She blinked. “They’re here? Both of them?”
“Can you imagine one of them staying behind?”
“No.” She laughed and grabbed her purse. As he escorted her to the other car, he saw Henry leading Dustin back to the road. Turdblossom was handcuffed and limping, but in Charlie’s professional opinion, not limping enough. It was also a relief to see the lights of the other cruisers heading toward them from the small town of Vega.
Henry and his compatriots could wrap this up. All he wanted was to get Claire home and safe and into his bed…where she belonged.
As they approached Henry’s car, a cacophony from the vehicle captured his attention. His gaze stalled on Cade and Cody, there in the back, and he barked a laugh. He’d completely forgotten about them. Since they were in the rear seat, where the perps usually sat, they couldn’t get out of the car without assistance. They were clearly annoyed about this.
So Charlie stopped Claire, right in the headlights, turned her around and pulled her into his arms.
“So you love me?” he asked. It didn’t hurt to be sure.
“Of course I do.”
“A lot?”
She narrowed her eyes. “More than I should.”
Her expression made him chuckle. “Why do you say that?”
“Because you drive me crazy.” Then she added as an afterthought, “Oh, and you give me tickets.”
That old chestnut? “I’ve only given you one ticket.”
“But you could have given me a warning instead.”
“I can give you a warning now…” He infused his tone with a wicked, dominant thrum. Her eyes widened as she caught his meaning.
She arched against him. “You are a naughty boy to say such things with my brothers watching.”
“They’re trapped in there.”
“What?”
“They can’t get out unless we let them out.”
Her smile blossomed. “Well, that is promising.”
It was.
“So you’re going to marry me?” he asked, just to hear it again.
She frowned. “I said I would.”
“Excellent. That’s all I wanted to know,” he murmured. And then he lowered his head and he kissed her.
He kissed her long and hard, right there in full view of her brothers.
It was a glorious, perfect moment.
Their bellows only enhanced his delight.
