“Done.”
She hops up off the sofa and starts for the elevator.
“Let’s do it. I’m even wearing a pretty dress.”
That blue dress is what wet dreams are made of.
When we get back down to the car, Diego, Lucky, and Bobby are waiting, all grinning at us.
“You guys knew?” Violet demands.
“We just heard,” Bobby says with a wink. “Congratulations.”
Suddenly, my girl frowns up at me. “I don’t even know which place we should go to.”
“Does it really matter?”
She tips her head to the side. “Not really. Just, no Elvis impersonators, okay? It may be a quickie Vegas wedding, but it can still be classy.”
“No Elvis. Just a regular guy.”
“You know, I’m ordained,” Diego says, surprising the fuck out of me.
“You are?” Violet asks.
“Yeah, you are?”
“I had a girlfriend once who had a cousin getting married, and they asked me to perform the ceremony.”
“Oh my God, will you marry us?” Violet demands.
“It would be my pleasure.”
“Hot damn,” Bobby says as he opens Violet’s door. “The boss is getting married.”

VIOLET
Do I look like a married woman?
I’m fresh from the shower, hair dripping wet, standing in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. I lookhappy. And I should after all the sex we had once we got home from the Little White Chapel, where Mateo paid the owner ashit tonof money to let Diego be the one to perform the ceremony. It was short and sweet and perfect, and now I’m Mrs. Cabrera.
That’s fucking crazy.
I lift my hand to wipe a water droplet from my shoulder, and the huge diamond on my finger sparkles in the mirror. This diamond is ridiculous. I mean, it’sperfect, a cushion cut that is so sparkly and gorgeous that it looks like it should be part of the royal collection or something and does not belong on my hand. It screamsI’m taken by a rich guy, and although in the past I might have raised an eyebrow, I have to admit that I’m not mad about it.
Mateo surprised me at the altar when he slipped a diamond eternity band on with the engagement ring. That’s a lot of shine on my hand. I didn’t have a ring for him, but he just smiled and said he had a plan.
I got married last night.
A grin spreads over my face before I finish towel drying my hair and then braiding it and wandering into the closet to get dressed for the day. I’m headed to my new studio later to see how things are going with the construction, and then I’m meeting the girls in the basement of the King of Spades for some training. I’ve joined them once before, and I loved learning the guns and helping the girls with hand-to-hand. Lulu just watches, of course, but she likes to chat with us and cheer us on.
I’ve just pulled on some jeans and a black tank and packed a bag with workout clothes when Mateo comes strolling into the bedroom, looking fuckingediblein his own jeans and white T-shirt. Christ, he was inside me less than an hour ago, and I’m ready to go again.
“Keep looking at me like that, Savage.”
I smirk and lean into him so I can kiss his chest.
