He chuckles. “I’ll call you tomorrow,” he tells me as he leaves my office.
I push my hand into my pocket, the box has been burning a hole for the last two days. God, I’ve never been nervous about anything, and yet the thought of Cassie turning me down has me anxious as fuck.
“Honey,” Cassie calls out an hour later. “I’m home.”
I power down my computer and move through the house. My woman’s home now it’s time to have some fun. “Hey baby,” I say as I pull her into my arms. “Did you have fun?”
She nods. “Uh, huh.”
Her body is tight, and her gaze moves around the room.
“Daddy,” she whispers, and my cock tightens. “I can’t hold it in any longer,” she says and reaches for the bag that’s on the floor. She hands it to me.
Taking it from her hands, I look at what’s inside and pull out a tiny onesie that says Baby Greenwood coming September.
I stare at the woman who means everything to me and see that she’s standing there with a big smile on her face and tears in her eyes. “You’re having my baby?”
She nods. “Yes, I’m having your baby.”
I swallow hard at her admission. Fuck. This day couldn't get better. I reach into my pocket, this isn’t exactly how I planned it, but I think this is the best time. I sink to one knee and watch as she places a shaky hand over her mouth. “Cassie, I fucking love you, marry me.”
She releases a watery laugh. “Yes,” she cries. “Oh, yes.”
I place the ring on her finger and pull her into my arms. “Fuck, you’ve made me the happiest man, baby.”
She shakes her head. “No, you’ve given me everything that I could have ever want. I love you, Lucas.”
I take her mouth and kiss her, hard and deep, conveying everything that I feel.
When we pull back, she’s staring at me with a blinding smile. “Who’d have thought that being stranded would have led us here?”
“It was one of the best days of my life,” I tell her as I lift her into my arms. “I had plans on going to a restaurant, those plans have changed. I’m taking you to bed and spending the night worshiping your body.”
She pulls in a ragged breath. “I’m not going to stop you.”
I laugh as I carry her to our bedroom.
Fuck. I’m going to be a dad.
Happy doesn’t even come close to this.
