Billionaire Unchallenged

“Marry me, Brynn. Put me out of my damn misery. I love you. I’ll always need you. You’ve made me a much better man than I was before I met you.”

“You weren’t texting just for yourself. I waited for that damn message every day. I think it’s the only thing that helped me wait another day.”

“Don’t cry. I didn’t answer because if I did, it would have been in person. And I knew you had a job to do. But it fucking killed me not to. But I will now. I love you, too, Brynn Davis. Always will. No matter how many mistakes you make, or how many I make, we stay together. I have no doubt I’m going to fuck up in the future, but one thing I’ll never do is be with any other woman but you.”

“Stop!” he growled. “Just stop. I already know you’re sorry. You’ve sent me fourteen messages about it. That’s over. I don’t care anymore. It was just a mistake. All I want to do is hold you right now. Jesus, Brynn. I missed you so damn much.”

“I could have sworn I asked you not to fly commercial.”

“We broke up,” I stammered.

“I never broke up. I just didn’t think quick enough. Come here.” He opened his arms.

I flew into them without a second thought, my heart hammering as he tightened his arms around me.

Carter: There’s a car downstairs to pick you up, and my jet is at the airport.

Brynn: Now?

Carter: Right fucking now. Get moving.

I wasn’t about to argue about his bossiness. I was headed to the lobby in a little less than a minute with my suitcase and carry-on in tow.

He’s willing to talk to me.

He sent his plane and his car.

“Of course,” he said offhandedly. “And if I did kiss her, it was brotherly and not romantic. I hadn’t seen her in a while, and I was happy that she was with me. I made her promise to keep quiet about it until I had the right spot to propose. I wanted to marry you, Brynn. I loved you.”

“You’re right,” he said distantly, like he was having a casual conversation. “I wasn’t at a meeting. That was my one and only little white lie, and I probably justified it because I wanted Harper to help me pick this out.”

“Hell, no, that’s not it. Would you have let Ruby go that easily?” I grumbled. “I’ll give her some space tonight, but I’m not going anywhere. I promised her I wouldn’t, and I’m not. Something happened, Jett. And I’ll figure out what it is. Brynn is it for me, man. There isn’t going to be anybody else. I love her.”

I’d sooner get dumped than try to pretend that I don’t fucking need her so much that I can barely breathe because of it.
