“How long?” she needed to know how long he had these feelings for her. “How long have you loved me?”
“When you were blocking the doorway of the Chinese takeout place.” Tiara followed Jordan in a daze as he led her away from the kitchen island over to one of the sofas in the family room. He cuddled her close to his body as they got comfortable on the sofa. He planted soft kisses along the nape of her neck as he talked to her. Tiara basked in the love that radiated from him. Any doubts she had about his feelings were quickly melting away.
“I was kicking myself for not talking to you more than to say ‘get out the way’ when I left the restaurant. I logged onto Proximity to find some random pussy to drown my sorrows in instead, imagine my surprise when your picture popped on my screen. It was a sign. I was being given a second chance. It was like something in the cosmos wanted us to be together, and I wasn’t going to waste this opportunity.”
“Well, I’m glad you didn’t. I have been fighting myself to keep from getting attached to you since our first encounter. I wanted to hold onto you tight and never let you go. Especially after meeting all of your friends. But you never talked about being in a relationship. We broke all of the rules of the Proximity app except for that one.”
“I called myself taking it slow with you, but whenever we were separated all I wanted to do was rush back to you. I counted the minutes in-between weekends until I could come back to town. The weekend of the charity auction I decided that I was relocating to the Springs. I was getting tired of leaving you.” Jordan continued to stroke the skin of Tiara’s neck as he made his confession. “I love the feel of your skin under my hands.” He placed a lingering kiss against her nape.
Tiara shivered at the kiss. Something he said earlier pinged in her brain. “Wait? How come your app allowed you to see my picture when I couldn’t see yours?”
Jordan gave her another sheepish grin. He was so adorable when he was being naughty, “I was kind of beta testing an upgraded version of the app. An update that is to be rolled out soon.”
“How did you get to be so lucky?”
“I know the app’s creator; we went to college together, and he works for Hemingway Industries.”
“Oh my God. Roman Fitzgerald Hemingway, the third, just became the new CEO of Hemingway Industries. Your cousin?”
“Yeah, my cousin.”
“You are related to a lot of rich people. People who are way out of my league.” Tiara started to panic again.
“Well, I am hoping that you wouldn’t mind be related to them also?”
“Huh?” Tiara watched as Jordan got to a kneeling position in front of her on the sofa holding out a black velvet bag similar to the vibrating butterfly panties. She reached out and took the bag remembering the joy the last gift he gave her had brought to her life.
Turning it over, her heart dropped when she looked at the beautiful emerald-cut blue diamond in a platinum band. It was surrounded by clear diamonds on all sides. Her eyes flew up to meet Jordan’s solemn gaze.
“Tiara, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
Tiara’s heart pounded. She couldn’t speak. All she could do was nod her head yes. She was still paralyzed with shock when Jordan took the ring from her hand and placed it on her left ring finger. It fitted perfectly. It wasn’t until he raised her left hand and pressed a gentle kiss to her knuckle right below where his ring rested that she was knocked out of her shock.
“I love you…I love you,” she chanted over and over again as she pressed kisses to his face.
“I love you too, Tiara. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Jordan's mouth closed over hers as their love ignited their passion. He stood up and scooped her up into his arms. “Let’s go start our future together in bed Mrs. Lehmann.”
Tiara twined her arms around his neck pressing her mouth to his. “Sounds like a great idea Mr. Lehmann.” Laughing as he carried her towards the bedroom for a night of debauchery and future full of love.
