She had no idea what was going on.
Shane nudged her. “It’s a Callen tradition. I’ve done it. Whenever anyone is welcomed into the family, they get a cake and a candle.”
Tears formed in her eyes. She’d never seen such love abound. “Do I make a wish?”
Mrs. Callen smiled, and the lines around her eyes crinkled. “Absolutely, but make it a good one because it will come true.”
I want to spend the rest of life with these two wonderful men.
She blew out the candle, and the whole group applauded.
Both Shane and Cody stood and stepped back. Jessie turned around to see what they were up to.
“We thought now would be a good time to ask this,” Cody said. They both got on their knees. “Since I am the eldest by one month, two weeks, and four days, I get to do the honors.”
From his pocket he withdrew a red velvet box. When he flipped open the lid, her heart almost exploded. Inside was an exquisite diamond ring. One large stone sat in the middle surrounded by several smaller ones. “Oh, my.”
“Will you, Jessie McCallister, be our lawfully wedded wife?”
Her heart beat so fast, no words formed. She reached behind her, took a sip of her water, and faced them. “I do!”
They got up and pulled her to a stand. When each kissed her, the applause and cheers nearly deafened her.
“This calls for a drink,” Mr. Callen announced. “And woman,” he said, pointing a finger at his wife, “do not tell me I can’t have one.”
“You may have two. This is a very special occasion.”
Sam and April gave her a hug, telling her how excited they were to have her in the family. Jessie had never felt so loved.
Mrs. Callen shooed them out of the dining room. “Go celebrate in the living room. I’ll bring out the drinks and cut the cake.”
“I’ll help, Mom,” Sam said.
“Me, too,” April replied.
For the rest of the night Jessie couldn’t stop bubbling over. They must have toasted her engagement ten times. By midnight, she was ready to drop.
Cody nodded to Shane. “We need to take our fiancée home for the evening.”
That announcement followed more hugs and good wishes. By the time she got in the car, she was almost asleep.
She sat in the backseat with Shane holding her.
“Are you happy, babe?”
“Immensely. There’s only one more thing I want.”
“What’s that?” Cody chimed from the front seat.
“Two large cocks for me to have and to hold.”
They all laughed, and Shane spent the rest of the drive home getting her ready for her wish.
THE END
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Unlike most other authors, I started writing late in life. Writing stories in high school and college was not for me. Only after I graduated did I fall in love with romance novels. For the next twenty years, I read voraciously. It got to a point where my book-buying habits cost as much as my groceries. At that point, my husband suggested I write a book. Hey, it looked easy, right? All the stories started in the same spot (hero and heroine at odds) and ended the same way (happily ever after). Only it was anything but easy. Eleven years and fifteen completed romantic suspenses later, I finally published. I never would have gotten that far had it not been for two local Chapters whose generous members shared their amazing wealth of knowledge.
