I flicked off the water and went to get her. Lifting her out of the tub, I didn’t give her time to dwell, just moved in right away.
I dried her off, making sure to pay special attention to between her legs and her amazing breasts.
By the time I was done she was all but melting at my feet. I wanted to pick her up, lay her out on the bed and fuck her into tomorrow, but there was more to come.
I lifted her naked body into my arms and headed for the bedroom. Seating her on the edge I went back out to the living room to get my bag.
She was looking around the room from her place on the bed when I came back; I have to admit, I’d done a damn good job.
Kneeling in front of her, I took the little box I’d been carrying all week from the pocket of the bag.
“Babe, this is gonna sound crazy, but I can’t have you unless you accept this.” I opened the box and showed her the ring.
“Do you realize that both our parents knew they were meant for each other, after only knowing each other for just a little while.
I think that’s our destiny babe. I don’t know quite how it works but I’m absolutely sure that this, us, is meant to be.”
She looked like she was gonna cry and I felt for sure she was gonna turn me down. And then her hand came up though she was shaking like a leaf, but that was good enough for me.
I slipped the diamond on her finger and there was no doubt, no second thoughts in my mind. Everything I wanted was falling into place.
“I love the fuck out of you. Now let’s have our night and we’ll figure the rest out tomorrow.

JACE
I’m almost afraid to touch her, what the fuck is that about? Looking down at her as she lays back on the bed, her hair spread out on the pillow, it hit me.
“This is going to be my view, every night, for the next seventy years at least.” I closed my eyes for a second to take it all in, because it suddenly felt like too much.
I was almost as terrified as I get before every major game. I’d come to learn after a while, that I only felt that fear when something or someone was very important.
But much like those times, I expected to get my shit together as soon as we started. Still my hands shook when I reached out to touch her.
Man the fuck up Saunders, what the fuck? She looked up at me with so much trust in her eyes, trust and a hint of fear.
I trailed my finger softly down her cheek and marveled at my ability to go slow when all I wanted to do was pounce.
I wasn’t sure where my head was at, why I was waiting. I only knew that I wanted this to be perfect for both of us.
The ring was a nice touch, but this, this was something that was going to be a huge part of our lives forever. What if I fucked up her first time?
How was it possible for a guy who never really had doubts about anything, to have so many at this particular moment?
I wasn’t afraid of disappointing her sexually, that shit I could’ve easily brushed off, plus I know I’m good at this shit; no, my fears ran deeper.
I wanted everything to be perfect for her, wanted to do everything right this first time. So the questions played around in my head for the first time in my life.
Questions I never expected to have, or not this soon anyway. Things like was I moving too fast, was I rushing her? Shit I never gave a fuck about before.
A million thoughts ran through my head, a thousand worries, the biggest one being, can I stay the course?
Sian is the first girl that has ever brought that question to mind. The mere truth of that should’ve been answer enough, but I wanted more. I needed to be sure.
That’s when I realized that the reason I was so scared to touch her, was because this was the most monumental moment in my life.
Because I was embarking on what could be the most important journey of my life, and it wasn’t just about me this time, this time I was taking someone else along with me, my soul mate.
My fear wasn’t for me it was for her, and any harm I might do her in the future, whether intentionally or not. Fuck I’m in love.
“Jace are you okay?” her little hand came up and touched my face, bringing me back from wherever the fuck I’d gone in my head.
“Yeah baby I’m good. You look so small.” Like she’d break if I touched her too hard. I stretched out next to her, trailing my finger down her middle.
“You’re perfect Sian, I kinda knew you would be.” I let my eyes roam over her taking it all in, burning it into memory.
“I want you to listen to me,
I don’t ever want you to doubt me, to doubt us. I don’t want you to look back on this day with one regret.
Give me all your fears now before we go any farther. If there’s anything at all that’s on your mind, I need you to tell me before I take you, because there’s no going back.”
She shook her head with a light sheen of tears in her beautiful eyes. “Nothing.”
It was only then that I felt free to touch her. Taking her mouth with mine, I poured all the raw emotion that rushed through me into that one kiss.
When I folded her body under mine, we fit; I felt the last chain fall from around my heart, the last dregs of fear, a fear that I didn’t even know I had until now.
“Don’t be afraid of anything I do to you okay.” She nodded as I made my way down her body with my lips and tongue.
