The week passed lightning fast. Ace and I spent our time arranging the surprise for the women. We told them we wanted to do something on Sunday, but it was a surprise. They’d tried to get us to tell them what the surprise was, but we held strong. I had to admit the closer Sunday came, the more nervous I became. I knew Jocelyn loved me. I just hoped she would agree to marriage.
When Sunday rolled around, we had the girls dress in comfortable clothes. It was the first of May, so the weather was nice. At one o’clock, a horse-drawn carriage entered the compound, while we were inside the clubhouse. Getting the text from our driver, we told everyone we’d be back later. As we exited, Devyn and Jocelyn gasped seeing the carriage. They threw us questioning and stunned looks. Once we were situated, we pulled out.
I had talked to the driver earlier in the week. He knew where to take us. A thirty-minute ride brought us to a gazebo out in the country. A friend of mine owned the land and had built it years ago for his wife. Our driver stopped and left us, stating he’d return later.
The women didn’t know what to think. We walked them to the gazebo which overlooked a beautiful view of a lake. They oohed over the view and how beautiful the gazebo was. We let them get their fill of the view and even walked down to the water’s edge. When they got tired of it, we took them back to the gazebo.
We grabbed their hands. They gave us puzzled looks until we dropped to our knees. Both gasped again and then tears started to form in their eyes. Each of us then asked our lady that all important question. Ace had prepared his own little speech. While he was asking Dev, I asked Jocelyn.
I kissed Jocelyn’s hand. “Baby, you know I love you and want to spend the rest of our lives together. You’ve taken a man who thought love had left his life forever and showed him that it was still possible and is even more wonderful than it ever had been before. I want you to have my children and sleep by my side every night. You’re my lady, my duchess, but it would make me even happier if you’d be my wife. Will you marry me, Jocelyn?”
I pulled the ring box from my pocket and opened it. Her hands were over her mouth. She looked at the ring and back to me, then launched herself in my arms. Like mother like daughter because Devyn was doing the same thing to Ace. She kissed me as she sobbed yes. I took the ring out and slid it on her ring finger. It fit perfectly. I’d gotten her a little less traditional engagement ring. Instead of a center diamond, I’d chosen one with an oval blue sapphire surrounded with white diamonds and diamonds on the band. It matched her jewelry set. I knew from our discussions. Blue was her favorite color and I loved to see that color on her.
We kissed for several minutes before surfacing to see what Ace and Devyn were doing. He had her clasped in his arms, kissing the hell out of her. Her ring shined on her finger. It was a square yellow diamond with white diamonds around it.
“I can’t believe you asked me to marry you,” Jocelyn cried.
“I don’t know why not. You know I’m crazy about you. Now, since it seems we both got our yesses, let’s eat.” I went over to the back of the gazebo and uncovered a picnic basket. My friend had ensured a picnic was waiting for us. I saw both tear up again. Sitting down on the cushions, we served them a cold lunch and a non-alcoholic champagne. We each gave the other couple enough room to have some privacy while we dined. However, the real privacy and celebration would have to wait until we were home in our bedrooms. I planned to make love to her for hours.
After finishing our meal, we took another walk around the lake and then our ride was there. When we pulled back into the compound, the clubhouse sounded like it was lively. We went inside. As we entered, the guys broke out in cheers and catcalls. The women blushed as they were hugged, kissed, and harassed about accepting our dumbasses. I’d promised if either said no, I’d text Tank. We’d let the guys know what we were planning but swore them to secrecy.
For the remainder of the afternoon and into early evening, we celebrated with my brothers. All of them loved Jocelyn and Devyn. They saw how happy they made Ace and me. As I watched Jocelyn talking to Tank and laughing, I knew I needed to call Harley and let her know I’d proposed to Jocelyn. I went over to my woman. She turned and gave me that sexy smile. I kissed her.
“Baby, I’ll be right back. I need to make a call. Stay with Tank and the guys.” Her eyes questioned me, but she didn’t ask, just nodded her head. I went to my office in the compound. Taking a deep breath, I rang Harley’s number. She picked up on the second ring.
“Hi, Dad,” she said hesitantly.
“Hi, Harley. I needed to call you and let you know something.”
“Before you do, please, Dad, I’m so damn sorry for what I did and said about Jocelyn. I know I was a bitch. I should have never treated Jocelyn that way. I guess I was jealous I didn’t have my dad’s whole love and attention anymore.”
“Sweetheart, you always have my love. You let me love Hunter and Emerson. My love for Jocelyn is just a different kind. It doesn’t lessen what I give you. And I do love her, Harley. More than I can ever tell you. I loved your mom, but our love was young love. Would we have stayed together if she’d lived? I think we would have. But that didn’t happen, and I met Jocelyn. She’s my ever after.”
“I understand, Dad. I do. I want to see her and apologize. Do you think she’d see me and talk if we came to Hunters Creek?”
“I can ask her. She’s a forgiving person. More so than me. Jocelyn is actually why I called. I wanted to let you know that I asked her to marry me today and she said yes.” I waited to see what Harley would say.
“Dad, if she makes you happy, then I’m happy. Congratulations. Now I must come and see her. When is the wedding?”
I laugh. “Whoa, we haven't gotten that far yet. Ace and I just asked them today, but I’d like it soon.”
“You and Ace? You both asked on the same day?” I explained to her what we did. She thought it was romantic as hell. Before I got off the phone, Terror got on and congratulated me. I told them I’d get back to them with an answer about coming to see us. I felt much better when the call ended.
Back in the common room, I took Jocelyn in my arms. She was now talking to Slash, Rebel and Payne. I overheard her telling them that Madisen was going to be wonderful at running the bakery. I had to agree. Her creations that I’d tasted were awesome. I kissed up her neck and whispered, “Are you ready for me to take you home and make love to you, baby?”
She shivered then whispered back, “I was ready hours ago.” That cinched it for me. I threw her over my shoulder. She gasped then smacked me on the back, telling me to let her down. I ignored her and started for the door. The guys were all laughing and catcalling. In no time, I had her in our house and our bedroom. I set her down.
She whipped around to look at me. “I can’t believe you did that Nick Williams! My ass was waving in the air for everyone to see.”
I chuckled. “Baby, they see your ass when you walk. What’s the big deal? I needed to get you out of there as quickly as possible. You know you would’ve tried to say goodbye to all of them. You need me and I need you. So here we are.”
She looked perturbed for another moment, then smiled. “I guess you did get us out of there quickly. Now, why don’t you and I show each other how much we need and want the other.” Her voice held a purr in it. I could feel my half erect cock go completely hard. I stalked toward her. Grabbing her, I lifted and carried her to the bed. I sat her on the edge. I tugged off her shirt and bra. Her breasts sprang free. They were full, more than a handful and had the most delicious pink nipples. The tips were hard buds. I teased a finger across them. She moaned.
Then she was attacking my belt buckle. Getting it loose, she unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans, tugging them to my knees, taking my underwear with them. She licked her lips when she saw my cock. Her hand reached out and grasped me. It was my turn to moan. Before I knew what she planned, she lowered her head and licked the head of my cock. I knew she could taste my cum because I was leaking from the slit. She hummed and slowly sucked the head into her mouth. I watched with half-mast eyes as she worked more and more of me into her mouth. I continued to tease her nipples, kneading her breasts.
She was working me hard and fast to an explosive release. Her mouth was so wet and warm. Her tongue teased when she wasn’t sucking or nibbling all over my cock. I wound her hair around my fist and pushed her head gently down more. She took the hint and swallowed more. I was groaning. My cock was hitting the back of her throat and she was swallowing to take me deeper even if she choked a time or two. I eased her head back, but she fought me to lower it again. Holding her hair so I could see her work my cock, I let her control her depth and speed. She had one hand on my thigh and the other she reached up to tug and massage my sac. I saw stars. I loved to have my balls played with.
She popped me out of her mouth and licked down to my sac where she sucked my balls into her mouth. Her other hand continued to stroke my cock up and down. In moments, I was racing toward a release. “Fuck, baby, I’m gonna come.” My words had her sinking back down on my cock and sucking me deep and hard. Less than a handful of strokes, and I was coming. She hummed as I shot my load down her throat with squirt after squirt. My knees got weak with how fucking good it felt. After she completely drained me and licked me clean, she looked up at me with a smile.
