Leaving the cabin sucked. The two of us out there without the outside world bothering us, was more amazing than I could ever expect.
It solidified us on a deeper level. The fact that we learned each other’s bodies in every way we could didn’t hurt either. Fuck, I can still taste her on my lips even days later. Tonight, though, I’m picking her up and taking her out to watch the town light up the Christmas tree in the downtown square.
Work has been slowing down with the approaching holiday. It’s something I take into consideration during the year and try to dole out as much over time as I can for my employees, just in case we have a slow time of year like we are now.
I hang up with Melanie about what time we’re meeting Colton and her. Smart ass that she is asked, “When do you plan on asking Kori to marry you?”
I chuckled and hemmed and hawed, not giving her the response she was hoping for. The fact of the matter is, I know exactly when I’ll be asking her. My hope is to surprise her in more than one way.
We got off the phone after I refused to give her the answer and I returned to working inside my home office. I told my secretary I’d be working from home today. I have a few things to take care of online and then a realtor to meet. A new historic home came up on the market. It needs a fuck of a lot of work, but I know with Kori’s vision and the work that we can do together, it’ll be our forever home.
My next order of business is scouring the internet to find the perfect ring for Kori. It’s hard because her working with dogs all day, she doesn’t wear jewelry. Sure, I could ask Melanie for help, but part of me wants to do this on my own. To find that perfect ring for my woman.
Fuck, I love the sound of that. I click on a website and see if there is something I can find that’s not too big and not too flashy, but will still show the world that Kori is mine.
It takes a couple of hours, but then I finally find it. I decide to go with a single solitaire diamond in a princess cut design, it weighs in at a carat. The wedding band, though, that will tie it all together, the gold band is fully encased with diamonds all the way around. That way, if she doesn’t want to wear her engagement ring, at least she’ll have something that still has some class and style to it.
I make my purchase, checking to see when it will get in, and then decide to start getting ready for this evening.
My trip to the realtor will have to go on tomorrow’s agenda.

I am so excited for the annual lighting of the downtown Christmas tree ceremony. The best part, though, is that I get to spend it with Nate, Colton, and Melanie.
After the ceremony, Nate stated he’d be staying with me tonight, that way tomorrow he can come with me to the shelter to get everything ready for our event. The one I’ve been working my fingers to the bone, so it seems. In fact, all of us have, including Nate. It could be the smallest of tasks, if he sees me struggling, he takes on an errand and runs with it. I can’t help but think maybe tonight will be the night. I’ve wanted Nate so badly, yet every time after he makes me come with his mouth or his hands. We never would go any further though. The few times I had my time to play and I would see the rapture on his face as I stroked his hard and long length or take him in my mouth as he came. I would think this is it, we’ll finally go all the way. It never happened.
Nate sets a fire deep within me and makes me yearn for more. I even pleaded, he held firm, though, and said, “We’re going to take our time. I want our first time together to be perfect.” I couldn’t argue with him, no matter how much my body is on fire for him.
I rushed home to shower, curl my hair, throw on a small amount of make-up, get dressed, and throw together my outfit for tomorrow.
The doorbell ringing puts me into high gear. Smiling the whole way to the door, I open it, coming to a halt. The look on Nate’s face, he looks upset.
“What’s wrong?” I question.
“Beautiful, you didn’t know who was at the door. You didn’t even look through the peephole,” he breathes out.
“I knew it was you, who else would come over?” I know he’s super protective, even in a small town where everyone knows everyone. You could cook the same dinner twice in one week, and every little busy body would know it.
