“I have classes tomorrow.”
“You can’t skip? I don’t want to get you into trouble young lady.”
She shook her head. “I can’t skip. But how about we leave in the late afternoon?”
“Sounds like a plan. I’ll set everything up with work and with my mom to take care of Bobby.”
“Great.”
I kissed her again and we held each other for the longest time.
“This is amazing,” Teri said.
She sipped her glass of champagne and leaned back in the Jacuzzi. I had to agree with her. The hot water and the lights, with the clear skies, but snow all around us made for a pretty magical time of year to be up here. I came up to the cabin a few times a year, mostly to do some fishing, some hiking, and to just get away with things. I was trying to teach Bobby some outdoor survival skills, but at his age there were few things he could really pick up on. Still, he loved the outdoors and teaching him that respect for nature was enough of a reason to bring him up here.
And sometimes I came alone when I needed the solitude. And my mother was always happy to watch Bobby. She loved him dearly. If she’d lived closer to me then I would have been happy letting her be his nanny. She would have adored this also, but she was stubborn in her ways and she refused to move to the city.
I looked around and watched the sky above me. The moon was almost full but very bright. The air was cold and crisp in sharp contrast to the hot water surrounding our naked bodies and the little buzz from the alcohol was warming us up nicely as well.
“It is,” I said. “This is the perfect place to be sometimes, in my opinion.”
“It is precious,” she said. “How many personal properties do you own in the country?”
“In the country I own four mansions and three cabins. In the world outside of the country I own two houses. I have one in Paris and one in Tokyo.”
She looked astonished. I didn’t want to come off as bragging but she asked so I answered. “You travel a lot?”
“I used to travel a lot for work, but now I don’t as much because of Bobby. But I still do have the properties and can’t bring myself to get rid of them. “
She nuzzled up against me in the Jacuzzi, her naked ass grazing against my hardening cock. Oh, she knew what she was doing. And I hoped we’d get into some naked fun soon.
“So, what would you say if I said I wanted to ask you something very important?” I asked.
“Well, that would depend on the question you were going to ask me, but I would tell you not to be shy and to go ahead and ask it.”
“Ok,” I replied. “Well, then I think I’m going to. But first, you have to close your eyes.”
“What?”
“Yeah, you have to close your eyes. You have to trust me.”
“Ok,” she said.
I waited until her eyes were closed and reached behind me to the towel I’d strategically placed there. I reached under it and grabbed the small box. Then I opened it quietly and held it in front of her face. I was prepared to see her go into shock and start hitting at it.
“Keep them closed,” I said.
“Ok…”
“Teri, you’ve made my entire world complete. I love you with all my heart and soul. I don’t think I can spend another moment on this earth without knowing the answer to one question. Will you be my wife?”
She opened her eyes and gasped as she brought her hands to her face. Staring right at the box she leapt backwards as if it was a snake that was about to bite her, but then the tears and gasps of total joy came to her face when she realized what was happening and that this was totally serious.
“Are you…really?” She asked crying her eyes out.
“I am,” I said. “I want you to be my wife.”
“Yes! Yes! Absolutely yes!”
