feasible.
“You’re the best,” Gayle said, slipping back down until her toes touched the floor. “Seriously. Thank you for being so supportive.”
“Anytime,” he grinned. “However, I must admit, I may have to cash in all the goodwill I’ve built up from it.”
Gayle stepped back from him, her expression turning wary. “What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked, eyes narrowed to little more than slits.
“It means that, if you’re willing, of course, I need something from you.”
Gayle smirked. “I mean, I feel like I should be the one getting special treatment. But I don’t really mind.”
She started to slip to her knees, and Rann realized he’d been completely and thoroughly misinterpreted.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this,” he said, bending down and lifting Gayle back to her feet. “But not right now. That’s not what I meant.”
Gayle slowly licked her lips. “Are you sure, ‘cause…”
“Do not listen to that. It has a mind of its own,” he said. “I, however, am Rann, fire dragon extraordinaire, and I am in charge here.”
His mate arched her eyebrows at him.
“Most of the time,” he added.
She nodded. “Better.”
He snorted but otherwise did not acknowledge the comment.
“I’m serious,” he said. “There’s something I need to ask you.”
Gayle cocked her head to the side. She must have noticed that he was being earnest because she then nodded and sobered quickly. “Of course, Rann. What is it? You can ask me anything, you know.”
He nodded, then frowned. “Wait, I’m forgetting something.”
Without waiting he darted back into the bedroom, rummaging around in his clothing until he found what he was looking for.
“I see it wasn’t clothes,” Gayle observed.
Rann grinned. “We’ll have plenty of time to pick out something appropriate, I think.”
Gayle’s smirk dissolved into confusion. “What are you talking about?”
“Well, our whole relationship sort of started on the idea that I would be your fake date to a wedding of people I didn’t even know, right?”
Gayle nodded. “Sort of correct, I guess, yeah.”
“Right. Well, I need your help on something similar now,” he said, fumbling around behind his back until he got the object oriented the way he wanted.
“You do?” Gayle frowned. “With what?”
“I was wondering,” he said, hating the way his nerves made his voice catch in his throat. “If you would be my real date to a wedding.”
“Of course,” Gayle said with a laugh. “You know I will. Who’s getting married?”
Rann hadn’t actually expected his plan to work, but it had. She’d followed his mental script to perfection.
He dropped to one knee and pulled out the small silver box from behind his back, flipping open the top of it.
“If you’ll have me, Gayle Anne Weber,” he said softly. “We are.”
“Oh, Rann,” she whispered softly, tears glistening in her eyes. “Yes, yes, of course I’ll marry you!”

About the Author
Riley Storm
Riley is one of those early-morning people you love to hate, because she swears she doesn’t need caffeine, even though the coffee-maker is connected to her smartphone. She lives in a three-story townhouse by the good graces of a tabby-cat who rules the house, the couch, the table, well, basically everywhere. When she’s not groveling for forgiveness for neglecting to pet her kitty enough, Riley is strapped in to her writing chair coming up with crazy worlds where she can make her own decisions of when feeding time is and how much coffee can be drank without her friends—of which she has three—holding yet another intervention that they threaten to post on the internet.
