40. Engagement Completion Document #3
Wyatt moves in front of her and tips her chin up. “What we care about is having a life with you and us and our children. It doesn’t matter how we arrange the legal matters. You’re ours and we’re yours. That’s what matters most to us.”
I release my hold on her and we all sink to a knee surrounding her. Her eyes are wide as she looks around at us with her hand covering her mouth.
“Sara.” Drew draws her attention to him and takes her hand.
“I was meant to be a onetime fuckfest, but I know a good thing when I find one. You let me in and I locked the door so you couldn’t kick me out.
I always knew you were endgame for me. Even if I’d had to pick up the shattered pieces of your heart and glue them back together because these three hadn’t gotten their heads out of their asses. ”
“Kiss up,” Wyatt mutters.
Sara laughs as her eyes glisten with tears.
“I love you, Sara. I don’t have the history these guys have with you, but I don’t need it.
We have the history we’ll make together and that means everything to me.
I want to be your husband, your lover, your friend, your conspirator against these guys.
I love you and want to share my life with you and the men you love. ”
He passes Wyatt her hand. Sara runs her hand through Drew’s hair before she turns to look down at Wyatt.
“I can’t say enough how sorry I am for the way I treated you when we were younger.”
Sara cups his jaw. “Wyatt—”
“Let me say this, and I swear it will be the last time.” He clears his throat.
“I’ve loved you since you were my best friend’s little sister.
I’ve loved you as you became a woman and a tease.
I’ve loved you for what seems like my whole life.
Even though I don’t deserve you and I still don’t deserve your forgiveness, I’ll never leave you.
I love you and want to spend the rest of my life making up for the years I was too stupid to realize I was just hurting both of us by denying my feelings.
I want to be your husband and your children’s father.
I want to make up for lost time and spend the rest of my life loving you fully each and every day. ”
Her shoulders shake and I put my hand on her waist. She covers it with her free hand.
“I love you, Sara, always and forever. Share my life, my love, my bed, my everything. I won’t ever let you down again.”
He kisses her knuckles and passes her hand to Finn. She turns to him and I see the tear slip down her cheek. But she can’t stop her smile.
“You have my heart. You always have, and that’s why I never stayed with anyone else.
They weren’t you. I never considered you could be mine.
I always wanted you, but you laughed off my flirtatious advances as That’s just Finn.
I didn’t take it to heart because I knew your heart was set on another.
It was hard not to feel like a consolation prize.
Like someone you wanted to try but would never settle for. ”
She slides her hand into his hair. “I love you.”
He smirks. “I know. And you’ve shown me more times than I can count that I’m yours and that you mean to keep me.
You were the little girl who followed us around and worshipped us like gods when we were younger and you grew into a beautiful woman who I plan to worship for the rest of my days.
I love you more every day. I promise to always be there for you, to be there for our family and future children.
I want to be your husband and lover and best friend.
I want it all, and because you love me, I know I deserve it all.
I love you, Sara. Say you’ll spend the rest of your life with me and my friends. ”
He kisses her knuckles and passes her hand to me. Her eyes shine down at me as I take her hand and look up at the love of my life.
“You’ve always been mine, pip. I’ve always taken care of you, from when you were little to when you were determined to make Wyatt see you to when you were scared and needed someone to hold you.
You’re my everything. I would have married you when you asked when I was twelve if I’d been a smarter boy.
But I know your heart would never be full without all of us.
I love you and intend to keep you safe and protected for the rest of our lives.
You make our lives full and we’re not going anywhere.
I love you, Sara. Be our bride, our wife, the mother of our children, the one we grow old with. Marry us?”
Wyatt hands me the box and I open it for her.
She reaches for the ring with trembling fingers. There are four diamonds encircling a larger diamond in the middle. We had it custom made by a guy Drew knows. We wanted it to be perfect and something that, when she looked at it, she’d know she’s loved so much.
Finn clears his throat. “I’m pretty sure we all know the answer, but it would be nice to hear it out loud.”
Sara laughs as she slips the ring on her finger. “Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I want to marry all of you. I want everything you said and more.” She kneels down in front of me and wraps her arms around my neck. “I love all of you.”
