Her legs buckled beneath her at the same moment that a tiny, barely audible moan tore from her. Pleasure pooled in my gut, driving me closer and closer. I tightened my grip on her to keep her upright as the waves coursed over her.
“Keep going,” I muttered, taking my hand off her mouth for one quick second to push her fingers back to her clit. She gasped, her body shaking, and I covered her mouth once again. “Don’t stop touching yourself until I fill you up.”
Overstimulated little grunts came from her trembling form. Over and over, I pushed myself into her, ensuring every strike was as satisfactory for her as it was for me. Footsteps retreated down the hall and I let go of her mouth, needing to hear her desperate little cries.
“Please,” she moaned, too many shockwaves running through her. “Please, Wade, oh my god?—”
My hips stuttered against her. Just the way she sounded was enough to send me over the edge, every nerve ending sparking with nothing but pure, unbridled ecstasy. My legs nearly went out from under me. “You can stop,” I croaked, urging her fingers from between her legs. I lifted them to my lips, sucking them clean, tasting her as the last little drops filled her to the brim.
Slowly, carefully, I caught my breath. The fog receded, letting me think clearly again as I pulled myself from her and stuffed my cock back into my jeans.
I’d almost forgotten what I’d meant to do in the first place.
Pulling her joggers up with one hand while grabbing for the box in my jacket with the other, I dropped to one knee before I could chicken out.
“What are you…?” she stammered as she turned around, the realization of what was happening laid out before her. Her eyes watered as a giggle poured from her, one hand against her mouth. “Really? Right after sex?”
I barked out a laugh as I realized the absurdity of it. “I know,” I grinned. “To be fair, I wasn’t planning on being so desperate for you that I had to have you right here.”
I popped open the box in my hand, revealing the shimmering black diamond set in platinum within.
“My Raven,” I began. I cleared my throat, feeling a lump forming already. Hold it together. “I knew there was something about you the moment you ran into me on the slopes.”
She raised one eyebrow at me, a laugh escaping her lips.
“I fell in love with you so easily, so unexpectedly,” I continued, shifting my tone so I sounded more serious. This wasn’t something I’d ever envisioned myself doing, wasn’t something I ever really thought much about. “You’ve changed me in all the right ways, you’ve helped me to become a man that I’m proud to be.”
“Wade,” she croaked, a little tear slipping out.
“You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” I said. I pressed one hand against her stomach, atop the growing life inside of it. “And this… this is more than I ever could have dreamed of. Both of you. I love you more than I ever thought I could, and I swear to god, it grows every day.”
I plucked the ring from the box and held it between my thumb and forefinger.
“Raylene Harleson, will you?—”
“Yes!” she shrieked, leaning down and pressing her lips to mine before I could finish my sentence. “Yes, yes, a million times yes! I’ll marry you.”
I slid the ring onto her waiting finger as I stood, kissing her over and over, little pecks against her lips, her forehead, her cheeks. I knew she’d say yes. I knew it in my bones. But hearing it out loud from her, experiencing it with her, was better than I ever could have imagined.
“I have a few caveats though,” she laughed.
“Anything. Anything you want.”
“I don’t want to get married at the resort.”
I snorted. “Done. We’ll get married anywhere you want.”
“Somewhere tropical,” she grinned. “And I want my mom to come.”
“I’ll pay whatever it takes to get her there,” I said.
“And Jackson and Mandy.”
“Obviously,” I laughed.
“And I don’t want you to utter one word when I invite Hunter.”
I narrowed my gaze at her, my smile unfaltering. “I’ll do my best.”
