The marching band played a triumphant flourish as the crowd around us erupted into raucous cheers and applause. Jake's face split into a blinding grin as he slipped the exquisite ring onto my trembling finger. Then he was on his feet, sweeping me up into his arms and twirling us both around in a dizzying circle, our tears and laughter mingling.
As he set me back on my feet, I gazed up at him with breathless wonder. This amazing, caring, incredibly romantic man was going to be my husband. The thought made my knees go weak with giddy happiness.
Jake must have seen it in my eyes, because he cupped my face in his calloused palms and kissed me deeply, passionately, putting every ounce of his love and devotion into that earth-shattering embrace. When we finally broke apart, I felt delirious, untethered, like I might float away were it not for his steadying hands on my waist.
And then our friends and neighbors were swarming us, hugging and congratulating and slapping Jake's back with proud affection. Hailey launched herself at us, wrapping her skinny arms around our waists as she danced and cheered with delight. I couldn't stop the constant stream of grateful, giddy tears streaming down my face if I tried.
It had been the most incredible, unbelievable, utterly romantic day. A surprise public, proposal filled with so much love, effort and community spirit that my heart could barely contain it all. I couldn't have asked for a better engagement, or a more wonderful, supportive group of people with whom to share this momentous occasion.
As the party kicked into full swing around us, I took a moment to simply breathe it all in - the music, the laughter, the sheer joy radiating from every face. I would never forget this perfect summer night as long as I lived, or the way this town had banded together to create such an unforgettable, heart-warming memory for Jake and me.
Then I turned to the love of my life, my forever partner, and melted into his arms once more. This was my happily ever after, with the most caring, romantic man a woman could ask for. And as his lips met mine in a searing kiss, the love in his eyes told me everything I needed to know.
That night, Hailey slept over at Amy's and Jake and I had the love nest to ourselves.
"So," I said, leaning back on the couch, a glass of red wine in hand. "How long have you been planning that proposal?"
Jake shrugged, his gaze warm and loving. "Oh not long just like a month or so."
"Really? A month?" I asked, my eyebrows shooting up.
"Yeah. I know, it's not like me to be all secretive and organized. But it was important to me, that it be special, that it was everything you deserved and more."
I felt my heart skip a beat. "That's so sweet. But be honest, were you thinking about me naked?"
Jake burst out laughing, reaching for his own wine glass. "Always."
"So," I continued, swirling the wine in my glass. "Would you like to see me naked now?"
He gave me a sly, sexy grin. "I thought you'd never ask." He abandoned his glass and ran inside.
I followed him to the bedroom where he had the sheets pulled down and the lights dimmed.
"Wow, a turn down service? How classy. What's the occasion?" I asked, sliding my arms around his neck and pulling him in for a slow, sensuous kiss.
Jake moaned against my mouth, his hands moving to cup my ass. "The girl of my dreams said yes, isn't that enough?"
"Hmm, maybe. Let me check the bathroom, I might need a bath."
Jake laughed, pulling me even closer. "Don't you dare."
I grinned, biting my lower lip. "I guess it will have to wait. We have more important things to take care of, don't we?"
His eyes darkened with desire, his voice low and husky. "Hell yeah, we do."
As we kissed, the world around us faded away. There was nothing but the heat of his skin against mine, the taste of his lips, the feel of his strong, muscular body pressed against me.
Jake's fingers trailed down my spine, my skin tingling, nipples hardening as his hands caressed around my curves and to my breasts, his thumbs moving teasingly over my nipples and making want more.
He trailed kisses down my neck, his tongue darting out to tease my skin. My hands roamed over his broad shoulders, his strong back, his muscles flexing beneath my fingertips. And I smiled as I thought about the ring that still felt foreign on my skin.
Did the metal feel cool against his skin?
I reached down, taking his thick cock in my hand, stroking him and making him groan with pleasure. I loved the feeling of knowing that I could bring him such pleasure with just a simple touch.
I couldn't get enough of him, my body aching with need. I wanted him, all of him. And I wanted him now.
Jake's hands gripped my hips, his eyes dark with desire as he lifted me off the floor and laid me on the bed. He settled between my thighs, the weight of his body pressing me into the mattress.
