A Seductive Melody (The Kelly Brothers Book 5)
Page 18
Ethan gave the massive linebacker a playful shove, which evolved into playful roughhousing until their mother broke it up with a sharp “Boys!”
Mrs. Kelly then looped her arm through Becca’s, saying, “They never grow up.”
“We’ve got to keep you on your toes, Mom,” Ethan said, placing a kiss on his mother’s cheek before stealing Becca back. “We’ll join you in a moment.”
He led her back into the dining room and pulled out the distinctive little blue and white box that could only come from Tiffany’s. “I know Hanukkah ended today, but better late than never, right?”
Her pulse quickened as she untied the ribbon. The box was the perfect size for a ring, even though her mind told her it was still too early for that. After all, they’d just admitted they loved each other a little over a week ago.
She opened the lid to find a diamond and platinum key pendant instead and released the breath she’d been holding.
“Expecting something different?” he asked, his gray eyes filled with mirth.
“More like relieved.” She pulled the necklace out and admired the way it sparkled. “It’s gorgeous.”
“Just like you.” He took the necklace and fastened it around her neck. “I’m trusting you with the key to my heart.”
“And I promise not to break it.”
“I know.” He pressed lips to hers before whispering in her ear, “But if it had been a ring?”
“I might’ve said yes,” she teased. “After all, you get me.”
He laughed before giving her a passionate kiss that made her heart sing and promised her a future of many more in the days to come.

Author Bio
Growing up in small town Alabama, Crista relied on story-telling as a natural way for her to pass the time and keep her two younger sisters entertained.
She currently lives in the Audi-filled suburbs of Seattle with her husband and two children, maintaining her alter ego of mild-mannered physician by day while she continues to pursue writing on nights and weekends.
Just for laughs, here are some of the jobs she’s had in the past to pay the bills: barista, bartender, sommelier, stagehand, actress, morgue attendant, and autopsy assistant.
And she’s also a recovering LARPer. (She blames it on her crazy college days)
