Her eyes twitch with sadness. “That’s not true.”
“It’s okay, Ellie. I don’t blame you. Life hasn’t always been fair to you and trust doesn’t come easy.” I squeeze her hand as her eyes start to water. “I’ve always said I’d wait for you and I still mean that but I want you to hear this.”
She nods. “Okay…”
“You told me once that you always wanted a normal, boring family and I want to give you that.” She chuckles and tears fall. “You deserve that more than anybody I’ve ever met. You’ve already given me the most perfect, gorgeous daughter and… I owe you the world. I will spend the rest of my life making sure that happens.”
“Birthday cards and Christmas cookies?” she asks, a light sniffle passing through her nose.
“All of it.” I slide the ring onto her finger and breathe a silent sigh of relief as it fits her perfectly. “You’ll never feel lonely or ignored ever again, Eliza Pierce.”
“Promise?” She peeks down at me with expectation, her lips curling as she waits for me to say it.
I drop a hand to my chest and I draw an X. “Cross my heart.”
Gravity pulls the tears down her cheeks but she still laughs, barely holding herself together. I stand to wrap my arms around her, embracing her as close to me as possible.
“I love you. Marry me. I’m nothing without you.”
She raises her head and wipes her eyes. “Well, when you put it like that…”
I laugh. “It’s the truth. Do you really think I would have won all those games if you weren’t withholding sex from me?” She buries her face in my chest again, shaking hard with laughter. “I swear, Ellie… there is not a single thing I wouldn’t do for you.”
“Oh, really?” she teases. “Sounds like you’ll need similar incentive this season if we expect to keep your stats up.”
I point a finger at her, realizing the mistake I’ve made. “Now, hold on… I didn’t mean—”
She steps out of my arms and grins. “Too late now, Junior.”
I wince. “I hate it when you say it like that…”
“Win the game next week and I’ll stop.”
“Ellie…”
She spins around with her teddy bear and walks towards the exit. “Keep up, Junior.”
I growl and step forward, struggling to catch up with her lightning fast gait. She plows through to the parking lot and I follow her back to the van.
“Can we maybe talk about this first?”
“I think we’ve talked enough,” she says, sliding the back door open. “Words won’t get us anywhere… moans and grunts, however…”
I bite my lip, casting a quick glance inside at the mattress as she smiles back at me. “Does this mean I still qualify for admission?”
“Well, you’re not a loser… yet.” She lowers herself inside and lies back against the pillows. “Might as well take what you can get while you can.”
I raise an eyebrow. “Anything I want?”
She refuses to answer but her eyes tell me everything.
I’m not about to argue with that willing, seductive smirk, so I hop inside the van and slide the door closed behind me.
Her hands instantly fly to my belt and my cock springs to life, pressing hard against my zipper. She licks her lips and her little, blue eyes flick up at me; playful and beautiful as ever. Her left hand slides into my pants and the diamond on her finger shimmers in the soft lighting.
“Wait…” I pause, grabbing her hand. “You never said yes.”
Eliza smiles and her eyes fall to the ring. “Oh, yeah. Sure. I guess.”
