We both laughed.
“I am beyond excited to start this family with you. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” he continued.
I met Brenton on the ground, needing to be closer to him.
“Yes,” I said, tears streaming down my face now. I was filled with joy and warmth. I felt so loved and so in love.
Brenton slid the sparking oval diamond ring onto my finger. It fit perfectly and it shone beautifully under the moonlight and the stars.
“I love you,” I whispered.
“I love you,” he whispered back.
Samson came running from around the house, barking and wagging. He sniffed my finger and licked my face a few times.
“I love you too, buddy,” I told him.
When he was done, Brenton placed one hand under my knee and the other on the small of my back in a gesture I had grown accustomed to by now. He lifted me up and showered me in kisses. Then, he carried me inside and up to the bedroom. We were skipping the meal and going straight to dessert.
He placed me delicately onto the bed, standing over me with a smile covering his entire face. I looked over at my bags on the ground.
“You’re going to have to make some room in that closet for me,” I told him with a grin.
He lowered himself over me. “That can be our first argument as an engaged couple, but we have some other business to take care of before that.”
“Oh?”
Brenton lifted my arms above my head and peeled my t-shirt off. His lips began at my earlobe as he let out a warm breath onto me that sent shivers down my spine. Then they trailed down my neck and to my shoulder. They met my bra strap and he peeled it down with two fingers, revealing one plump breast. My nipple became hard as he stroked it in small circles. Then he lowered my other strap.
He hovered above me, my back to the bed.
“I love you,” he said again.
“I love you.”
He pulled my shorts down and my panties off, stroking me gently at first. I bucked into him and he pushed down harder. My bud was swollen and my pussy wetted. He tasted me briefly, licking my clit in frantic circles. I gasped at his warm breath on me before he brought his face back up to mine. He showered me in kisses, trailing his fingers up and down my body.
He traced each freckle he could find with a kiss, taking his time and savoring our embrace. I returned the favor, kissing each of his muscles.
He pulled his pants down as I pulled his dress shirt off, using his tie to pull him down for one more kiss first. He leaned over the bed and grabbed a foil package, winking. We both looked down at my growing belly and laughed. He stopped laughing and looked back up at me, so much gratitude in his eyes.
“You’ve changed my life, Helen.”
“You’ve changed mine more. For instance, no man will ever measure up to you in bed.”
“Well, good thing no man will ever get the chance to try. You’re mine. Forever.”
His head found my pussy and he pushed in, filling me. I moaned into his shoulder, biting at it. He pumped in and out, rubbing my clit every so often. He moved faster and I screamed, then he slowed, kissing me deeply.
We both began to tense at once, feeling each other’s warmth and love and writhing in pleasure. I began to shake and my vision blurred, I held him tight as I reached my climax, groaning in exaltation. He followed me, roaring into my ear in one hot breath as he finished.
We laid together for what felt like hours, and my smile never left my face, knowing I’d get to lay beside him every day now.
“Oh, by the way,” he said to me, breaking our comfortable silence. “I called Charlie. He is working up a deed to purchase Dudley’s home in your name. He’ll submit it tomorrow..”
“Brenton!” I lost my breath. “With what money?”
I swatted his arm. He knew how much I hated handouts.
“Consider it a loan. You can pay me back after you become a bestselling author.” He smiled at me and nuzzled my neck with his nose.
“You might be waiting a while for that,” I chuckled into him.
“I’m not so sure.”
