Angel

Chapter 67

Emilio

"Everything looks good," Sean said with a grin. "I'll want to check your blood periodically just to make sure there aren't any effects on you or the little one, but other than that, I suggest some rest for a few days."

"Thank you, Sean," I said, shaking his hands as he left the room. I sat on the edge of the bed, unsure what to say. "I'm so sorry, little mouse. I should have known."

She took my hand, "How could you? You went to help Tori like I asked. There was no way you could know what he planned. I never thought twice when the maid asked me to come to Tori's room. Was she part of it?"

"We aren't sure, we found her body a day later just outside the compound. Either she was tricked or just in the wrong place at the wrong time," I told her. "Mattie, do you want to leave?"

"I don't know," she whispered, "I'm confused. I mean, I love all of them so damn much, but I also love you, and the baby... How do I choose?"

"What if you don't?" I asked hesitantly. "What if we try what you had with them, but allow me to be a part as well?"

"Is that even fair to you? I mean, they weren't just dating me, they have their own relationships as well," she asked.

I cupped her chin, "Little mouse, if it means I get to love you, then I will make it work. Besides, you gave me back my little brother."

She smiled, "Really?" I nodded and kissed her softly. "But where will we live? What about the cartel, and my grandfather, and Violet - oh my god, Violet? Where is she?"

I crushed her mouth to mine as she let out a whimper and began to return my kiss. When I pulled back I smiled, "You were babbling. First, Violet is safe. Marcus has her hidden with trusted friends to keep her away from your grandmother and the Academy. As for the cartel, well my dear you are the Queen and I think it's high time we make a damn statement about people who fuck with our family - and my brother and his family are now my family."

She wrapped her arms around me and I hugged her gently, "Thank you, Emilio. I love you so much!"

"I love you, too, little mouse. Now, you need to rest. I'll have Marcus and the others come to see you in a bit, okay?"

"Okay," she grinned and I tucked her into the bed, stroking her hair until her breathing evened out.

Mattie

I woke up to those beautiful blue eyes that had greeted me in the breakroom that day. "Brandon," I sighed.

"Hey beautiful," he said, brushing my hair back. "May I kiss you?"

"Please," I nodded vigorously as he laughed and our lips melded together. My fingers threaded through his hair as I moaned softly. I felt tears and couldn't tell if they were mine or his, but I didn't want to stop kissing him. His body shifted until he was straddling my lap and he pulled back, cupping my face.

"Fuck, I've missed you," he groaned. "I don't want to ever be away from you again, baby. Marry me, hell, marry all of us."

I blinked, "Is that even legal?"

"Does it matter?" he chuckled.

I let out a laugh, "I guess not. Yes."

"Wait, is that a yes to my proposal?" he blinked, still holding my face.

I giggled and nodded, "Yes, I will marry you. I'll marry all of you right now if you want. I don't want to know life without any of you ever again."

He grinned, "Hold that thought," then almost falling off the bed, he dashed out of the room. I sat there, mouth gaping. What the hell?

Moments later the door bursts open and they're all there - Brandon, Corey, Axel, Raven, and Nova. I can see Emilio standing in the doorway behind them as they all get down on one knee. "Holy shit, you weren't joking at all were you?" I gasped, covering my mouth with one hand. I noticed the gleam in Emilio's eyes at my curse word and blushed.

"No beautiful, I, we, mean it - marry us. Right here, right now," Brandon said.

I looked up at Emilio and my grandfather. "You have our blessing, little mouse. I meant what I said earlier. If this is what you want and need, then we will make it work. You are the only thing that matters, Mattie," Emilio said with a genuine smile.

I looked back at them and nodded, "Yes, I will marry all of you but with one condition."

"Name it, little one," Corey said.

I looked up at my grandfather. "Since he didn't get to walk me down the aisle the first time, I want my Abuelo to do it this time, please."

"I would be honored, Mariposa," he grinned.
