“I’m doing what I’ve wanted to do since you fell into my lap.” He smiles that killer smile, the one that melts me every time I see it, and opens the box. My jaw hits the floor. I’ve never seen a more beautiful ring, and he chose it just for me. “Dylan, I never knew I wanted this, until I met you. All of the love that I have in me has been yours and it always will be.” My hands cover my nose and mouth as I stare down at him, the tears rapidly falling onto my fingers. “You’ve given me everything, love. Will you marry me?”

I drop down to my knees and throw my arms around him. “Yes. Yes. Yes.” He wraps me up, pinning me to his body and buries his face into my neck. “Yes.” I look up, seeing Joey, holding his phone out in front of him, and crying like a baby above us.

“Mmm, I can’t wait to make you Mrs. Carroll,” Reese says against the sensitive skin of my neck. “Here, let me put this on you.” I lean back and drop back to my heels, holding my trembling left hand in front of me. He takes the ring out and slides it on my finger, pressing his lips to the top of my hand. “Do you like it?”

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Joey squeals behind him. “She loves it. I love it. God damn it, Billy.”

Reese and I both laugh as I stare down at my hand. “I do love it. It’s perfect, just like you.” I hold his face in my hands, bringing our lips together. And I don’t let go.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to family for being so incredibly supportive. To my Mom for reading my dirty little thoughts and not slapping me across the face. And to Jess for not looking at me differently after you read some of my smut. I know it was hard. :)

To my favorite little X-Ray bestie, Farin. I think you were just as excited about Reese and Dylan’s story as I was. Thank you for carrying the pages of my book around and reading it at red lights. Your encouragement got me here.

To R.J. Lewis for being too badass for words. I’m so grateful for you and your countless emails. You’ve been the biggest inspiration to me, and my filthy soul found its match in yours.

Last and certainly not least, thank you to everyone who read Sweet Addiction. I hope I made you chuckle and gave you other tingly feelings. (You know what I’m getting at.) I loved writing this story and I sincerely hope you enjoyed it.

If you have a second, please leave me a review on amazon or goodreads. I’d LOVE to hear from you, so feel free to shoot me an email anytime. (authorjessicadanielsgmail)
