Chapter 55

LUKE

Aspen wasn’t saying anything. My heart was in my throat. Did she think I was faking for the cameras? Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe–

“Yes,” she said.

I stared at her for a second. “Yes?” I repeated. Did that mean…

“She said yes!” Jax shouted, seeming more thrilled than me.

The audience cheered.

“Yes?” I repeated, staring into Aspen’s blue eyes.

She nodded. I hopped from my stool and cupped the back of her neck. Jax was saying something, but I wasn’t paying him or anyone else any attention.

“Say it, tiger. I need to hear the words,” I murmured.

“Yes. I will come with you to Nebraska. I love you, to–”

I didn’t let her finish because my mouth was on hers. Sweet, soft.

MINE.

Thank fuck.
