“Bongo is only too happy to do anything Felix wants,” I chuckle.
Major reaches for something on the little porch table between us, then stops. “Aw, damn. I left my glass of iced tea in the house.”
“I’ll get it. I need more, anyway.” I lean over to smooch his cheek and stand up.
I fix his iced tea how he likes it—extra sweet—and then carry our sweating glasses back outside. Weirdly, all three of my boys are lined up, facing the door. They’re even all grinning.
“What is happening?” I ask with a bemused smile, setting the glasses down.
Major nudges Felix with his elbow.
“We wanted to ask you something,” the little boy announces. “It’s a very important question.”
“Okay.” I draw my chair closer to Felix, resting my elbows on my knees as I lean closer. “Ask me.”
“I wanted to tell you I love you very much,” he declares, “and I really love Bongo. And Daddy really loves you and Bongo too, but not as much as me.”
“Is that right?” I lift my brows at Major.
“Stick to the script,” Major whispers loudly to Felix.
“So we wanted to know if we could keep you. Forever.”
I laugh. “But, Felix, you already have me. That’s why we bought a new house, so that we could always all be together.”
“But I wanna be together as a family,” Felix continues. “With a daddy and a mommy. And a Bongo.”
I hold my breath. “You do?”
He nods. “So that’s why Daddy wants to give you something.”
I turn wide eyes up to Major.
Smiling, he kneels down until he’s equal height with the rest of us and holds out a small box with the lid popped. A beautiful, delicate diamond ring glimmers up at me.
“I already asked Bongo’s permission,” he says softly. “He said yes. Right, boy?”
Bongo woofs.
“So, the ball’s in your court,” Major continues. “Cecily, will you marry me? Will you let me love you and honor you and walk through this life with you…forever?”
“Yes!” I exclaim so loudly, I hear my voice echo down the street. “Yes, yes, yes!”
I throw my arms around Major. Then we draw Felix and Bongo into our hug.
I have never been so happy in my entire life.
“I love you,” Major murmurs against my cheek. “So much. For life.”
“For life,” I echo.
“Ice cream!” Felix exclaims, clapping his hands. “Come on!” He tugs me out of my chair.
“All right, all right,” Major chuckles. “Nothing like celebratory ice cream.”
I link my arm through Major’s and hold Felix’s hand on my other side. Major holds Bongo’s leash.
It’s the perfect way to kick off our new life together.
Did you enjoy MAJOR?
If so, I would be so grateful if you a left a review to let everyone know!

Damien
After ten years as a Marine, I retired early so I could enjoy my thirties without all the horror.
Deployments all around the world have left their scars, but I’ve made a life for myself as a construction worker. I still get to be active and use my hands. I just don’t have to watch people I care about die.
Then, a little spitfire hurtles into my life, and even though she’s so much younger than me and my opposite, I can’t get her off my mind.
I’m pretty sure she hates me until she approaches me one day to be her fake date to her sister’s wedding.
I should say no, because this isn’t going to go anywhere.
But I can’t resist the thought of spending an evening with her…
Nancy
It’s been a hell of a year.
In that time, I escaped my abusive ex-boyfriend and found a great job I love. I’m trying to work my way back to normalcy, to something approaching a healthy life.
Now, I just have to prove that to my family.
My sister Harlowe’s getting married to the love of her life, and her wedding is the perfect time to show them all I’ve got my act together with my super sexy, super doting boyfriend.
Except I don’t have one.
The guy leading the construction crew where I work fits the bill physically, even though he’s eight years older than me and we get along about as well as oil and vinegar. But I’m desperate, and he’s willing.
It’s just one night, and then we can go our separate ways…
