The air around us is filled with the tranquil sounds of the night, and the gentle glow of the moon bathes us in its soft light. Jake's hand finds mine, intertwining our fingers, a gesture that speaks volumes of the connection we share.
In the midst of this serene moment, Jake's voice, gentle and full of emotion, breaks the silence. "I have another surprise for you," he says, his eyes twinkling like the stars above us. He points to a spot a little further away where a tent is set up, nestled among the trees by the pond.
It's a cozy, intimate setup, complete with everything needed for a romantic night under the stars.
"I thought we could spend the night here, just the two of us, and truly soak in this moment,” he whispers, his smile wide and inviting. I'm taken aback by the thoughtfulness of his gesture, my heart swelling with love and gratitude.
Jake then shares something that adds another layer of joy to our already perfect evening. "Emily and Dylan knew about the proposal," he begins, his gaze steady on mine. "I asked for Emily's blessing before I planned anything, and she said yes. And Dylan, he helped me pick out the engagement ring. He was okay with it, with us, Mia. He was thrilled, actually."
The revelation leaves me speechless. The thought that Emily and Dylan were part of this beautiful moment from the start, endorsing our union with their love and acceptance, fills me with an indescribable sense of happiness and relief.
Knowing that our family, our children, supported us taking this step makes the moment even more special. "I can't express how grateful I am," I said to Jake, my voice heavy with emotion.
"The love from Emily and Dylan with being onboard for us getting married, it's overwhelming." Jake smiled, squeezing my hand. "Our children's love, their acceptance, it's everything to me." My heart feels like it could burst from the sheer magnitude of what this means for us as a family.
I can't help but feel that the universe itself is aligning to bless this new journey we are about to undertake together. With my head resting on Jake's shoulder and his arm wrapped around me, I feel an immense sense of peace and certainty about our future.
"I love you, Jake," I whisper into the night, "And I love our family. Thank you for this perfect night, for this perfect moment. I couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful beginning to our forever."
As the evening continues, my thoughts drift back to the earlier part of our night, specifically, the scrumptious dinner we enjoyed as a part of our picnic.
"You know, that savory chicken with the herbs and spices was incredible. And the salad was so fresh. It tasted like you picked the vegetables yourself this morning," I tease Jake, nudging him gently with my elbow. He chuckles, his eyes twinkling in the soft glow of the evening light.
"Well, I may not have picked the veggies, but I definitely made sure everything was perfect for tonight."
I playfully roll my eyes, "And what about that pie? You had me convinced you were giving me a coupon for Patty's Pies as my 'big gift.' I was all ready to pretend to be excited about it."
Jake's laughter fills the air, a sound that warms my heart every time I hear it. "Ah, yes, the infamous Patty's Pies coupon. I thought it'd be a fun little joke. But did you really think I'd make you redeem a coupon for your own engagement surprise?" His question, rhetorical and filled with mirth, draws a smile from me.
"The pie was delicious, though," I admit, still marveling at the sweetness, the flaky crust perfectly complementing the rich, fruity filling. "It was the cherry on top of an already unforgettable evening." I pause, realizing the pun I had unintentionally made, which sends us both into a fit of laughter.
Jake's expression softens as he reaches for my hand again, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wanted everything to be special, down to the last bite. I did secretly buy that pie from Patty's Pies just for tonight, even if I had to sneak around a bit to keep it a surprise."
I lean in, resting my head against his shoulder once more, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude. "Well, your secret pie mission was a success. Everything about tonight has been a dream come true. From the moment with our kids to the delicious dinner and, of course, the pie." I sigh contentedly, "You sure know how to plan a perfect proposal picnic."
“And now I am hoping I can end the night right…” He smiles as he stands to his feet and then offers me his hand. Jake helps me to my feet and then leads me by the hand towards the tent. I’m curious as to what comes next as a soft yawn escapes my lips as we enter the tent.
He zips the tent closed behind him before turning to look at me with fiery passion in his eyes.
“It’s not time to sleep yet, my love. Matter of fact, I would love to help you sleep soundly tonight.”
“Oh?” My eyes widen in wonder as he grips my waist and pulls me into a passionate kiss. I finally pick up on where this is going as my heart races in excitement, deepening the kiss as he begins to pull up my sundress to toss to the side.
My first thought when I had seen the tent was why was it so big. And now I knew… big enough for us to be comfortable while we finished out our night.
The tent shook from the heavy night wind beginning to blow against it. But inside, another storm raged between us, an uncontrollable force of desire that had been building all day. Exhaustion couldn't compete with the fiery chemistry that crackled between us.
As if drawn by a magnetic pull, we fell onto our knees facing each other, eyes locked in a heated stare that could have melted steel. My heart pounded furiously against my chest, desperate for release from the restraints I had kept on it for so long. Slowly, I reached out and cupped his cheek with a trembling hand, feeling his rough stubble prickling against my skin like a delicious burn.
His breath caught in his throat, pupils dilating with raw longing as I whispered his name. But before I could say anything else, he silenced me with a single touch of his thumb on my lips, silencing any words that threatened to escape. With a guttural growl that echoed through the confined space of the tent, he attacked my mouth with a hunger that was anything but tame.
His kiss consumed me, tore down every wall and barrier I had built up as we became one fiery entity in the midst of the raging storm outside. His hands roamed over my body as if rediscovering every inch of me, mapping out new territory with familiar fingers.
I moaned into his mouth as his skilled hands worked at getting my undergarments off, sending shivers coursing through my body as cool air met heated skin. With a primal groan vibrating through him, he broke the kiss and trailed burning kisses down my neck, igniting sparks along my flesh.
I lay down on my back while my hungry eyes watch him undress before me.
His eyes are unblinking while mine also refuse to blink so I don't miss a thing. Excitement courses through my body once he lowers his naked body on top of mine. I feel his manhood at my front entrance but he doesn't enter me just yet.
