Chapter 150: Jax: Botched Proposal

She reared back, eyes wide. "What?"

My heart pounded at the look on her face. Sh*t. I needed to do some damage control. "I know this is the worst possible timing, and the least romantic way to propose, and you deserve something so much better. Hell, I don't even have a ring." I gave a sharp, self-deprecating laugh. Leave it to me to f*ck this up. I raked my hand through my hair. "But I know how much I love you. There will never be anyone but you, and if you say no right now, I won't blame you. I know I can do better than this. I want to do better."

A flirty smile curled her lips, but she remained silent. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. The fact that she hadn't bothered to answer me definitely wasn't good. Then again, I hadn't really shut up since the words had spewed out of my mouth.
