Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 3
have risky, dangerous public sex."
Taylor drew back and stared at him in surprise. "Whoa. My adventurous Dare is out tonight."
"Your adventurous Dare is in the mood to do something different to celebrate your record deal."
One of Taylor's brows rose. "Oh, really?"
"Yes, really." Daren grinned. The thought of doing something risqué with Taylor had his cock swelling within the confines of his jeans.
"Good." Taylor rose to his feet and called out to Stone, "Dude! You know where to go, right? And when to be there?"
Stone never lifted his lips from Westley's but he gave Taylor a thumbs up with one hand. Taylor reached down and grabbed Daren's hand, pulling him up off the loveseat.
"C'mon. We have somewhere we need to be." He started dragging Daren from the green room.
"Wait! What's going on?" Daren stared at his lover, taking in the smug expression on Taylor's handsome face.
"You'll see."
They slipped out the back of the club and got into a waiting town car. Instead of the car taking them to the hotel where the party was to be held, it took them back to their own hotel. When they arrived, Taylor pulled him inside and they got in the elevator. Daren stared in shock when Taylor pushed the button for the penthouse suite.
"You're not going to tell me what this is all about, are you?" he asked suspiciously.
Taylor shook his head, his expression alight with deviltry. "Nope."
The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Taylor tightened his hand around Daren's, pulling him out into the corridor and to the door of the penthouse suite. He knocked and a moment later the beautiful Daisy Sutton opened the door.
"Darling! You're here already!" Taylor's mother reached out and hugged him, then wrapped her arms around Daren and squeezed him tightly. "Oh, it's so good to see you, Daren!"
Taylor stepped into the penthouse to be enveloped in a hug from his father. Daisy closed the door and led Daren over. Gavin Jones stared at Daren with a twinkle in his amber eyes.
"You've been a good influence on my boy, Daren."
Puzzled, Daren said, "Thank you, sir."
Gavin exchanged an amused look with Daisy. "Call me Dad," he invited gruffly.
Daren's head whipped around as his gaze sought Taylor's. His partner smiled, love lighting up his face. He held a box out to Daren.
"Go on, take it," he urged softly. When Daren did, turning the small square leather covered box over in his hands, Taylor said, "Here's your adventure, Dare. This is Massachusetts. My mom and dad are here. Stone and Wes are on their way. In the next room is a justice of the peace. In that box are two rings."
Taylor placed his hands on the center of his chest. "And in here is a heart that beats only for you. Please marry me."
Daren hadn't realized a person could feel so much joy and not burst apart. He glanced at Gavin and Daisy. Gavin had his arm around his wife's shoulders and the pair of them smiled at him with warm acceptance. He looked back at Taylor and what he saw in his lover's eyes held him in thrall. So much love. So much desire. So much promise.
"From the moment we met, my life has been tangled together with yours," he said softly. "My heart, my emotions, every piece of me has been caught up in you, Taylor. Even when I thought I couldn't have you, I still belonged to you."
Daren stepped closer to Taylor, feeling the heat of his lover's body. "I'm so tangled up in you that nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be tied to you legally, forever." He smiled at Taylor, reaching up to brush back his lover's dark curls. "I love you and yes, I'll marry you."
Daisy whooped and Gavin chuckled as Taylor swept Daren into his arms and kissed him passionately. In the back of Daren's desire fogged brain lurked the thought that somewhere in their words of love was a song. And knowing his lover and soon to be husband, Daren was positive that Taylor would write it one day. Which was just as well because Daren already had the title…Entangled.
