“I’m not asking you now,” I growl. “It has to be perfect for you, baby. Special.”
She smiles softly at me. “You know that however you ask me will be special, right?”
“I know you’ll think that no matter what, but I want to do things a certain way. You’re no ordinary woman so there’s no chance you’re getting an ordinary proposal. Only the best for my woman.”
Amelia snuggles into my chest, looking up at me with innocent eyes. “I already have the best. I have you. Just don’t wait too long, ok? Because I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
I kiss the top of her head with a smile, but it’s not long before I return to my concerns. She’s right, I don’t have time for messing around. I have to make some important calls, and I have to do it now. I’m going to make sure that she has nothing, but the best.
I kiss Amelia gently before getting out of bed. She moans in protest and it takes everything in me to stop myself from going back to bed and taking her again. Ever since we gave in to our lust for the first time, we’ve been at it like rabbits, and I want her so badly right now. I want to be deep in her pussy, to feel her tight walls clamping around my cock. But this is what got me losing time in the first place. We have the rest of our lives to indulge in mind-blowing sex, but I only have a few weeks to plan the perfect wedding for my woman. I need to get my priorities straight, which is nearly impossible when the sexy curves of her body are calling to me.
“Come back to bed,” she purrs. “I want you.”
My cock is rock hard now. I can’t say no to her now that she’s actually asking me out loud, her confidence growing by the day. I turn back to the bed and grab her by the hips, making her giggle as I turn her around on all fours, her luscious ass and pussy calling out to me.
“One last time baby,” I growl in warning. “Then I have work to do.”
The last time turns into three times, but by the time I eventually leave her behind in bed, I feel ready to plan. I’m not going to leave my office again until I’ve got this whole show on the road.
I head into my office and spend the day making calls. I need a venue, florist, designer, and a caterer. I need so many people that I can’t keep track of. But the good thing about sitting on an enormous fortune is I can afford the people and places that not many can. While others are squabbling over venues that aren’t available for years in advance, I can afford the biggest and best. By the time evening approaches, I have almost everything in order, or almost.
And now, there’s one more thing that I need to focus on.
The proposal.
It has to be amazing, a night for Amelia to remember forever. It has to show her just how much she means to me. I need her to know that my love is unconditional, that I’d be marrying her no matter what. This was always meant to be, but our timeline has been tightened a little. Not that it matters. It just means I have to be ready sooner.
But I’ve always been ready to spend my life with her. The one woman in the entire world who has been able to capture my heart. The only one who wants me for pure reasons only. I think of Claudia and almost laugh out loud. If dad really thought she was a good match for me, then he must have been delusional.
This whole thing that he set up is crazy. I’ve never known anyone to be forced to marry because of an inheritance clause before. But in so many ways, I’m grateful that he sent me on this crazy journey. I spent so long thinking that Amelia was off-limits to me, feeling too old, thinking that I could never have the one woman who made me feel something. Now she’s mine for now and for forever. With her by my side, I feel rich in ways that no inheritance clause could ever make me feel. She’s changed my life forever, made it worth living. With her by my side, I never have to feel like I’m alone again. My father was always my companion in life, my business partner, my closest confidant. Now that he’s gone, I have someone just as good, perhaps even better. The love of my life. The cause of my smiles. The woman who gave me my sexual awakening.
I don’t know what more I could have asked for in a partner.
