I waited in the living room, opening and closing the little box I had brought with me from Austin. I toyed with the little blue box I had brought with me from Austin, opening and closing the lid as I waited. The ring inside had taken me forever to choose, mainly because I had had the dumb idea that Alice would actually be helpful with this kind of thing. The only problem was, when it came to Alice, her attention to detail knew no boundaries, and she had scouring the internet and every diamond shop in Austin for just the right one.
If Ashlyn says no, I’ll shoot myself.
I heard the front door open and close, and I quickly pocketed the box, flashing her a wide smile as she stopped at the living room threshold and glared at me.
“Welcome home,” I said cheerfully.
“Okay, Chance, let me try and say this as nicely as I possibly can,” she said, walking in and standing with her arms crossed over her chest, gazing down at me. “I love you. Very much. And the fact that you make the time to come all the way here and be with me is something I appreciate more than you can ever know. But –”
“There’s a ‘but’?”
She raised a hand to shut me up and sighed. “I have a lot of work to do this weekend. The order from Houston is driving us crazy, and we’re barely keeping up. I need to get stuff done, and I can’t do it if you’re going to keep getting in my way just because you’re bored.”
“I really am bored.”
“Chance, seriously.”
I slid off the couch and got down on one knee.
“What are you doing?” she asked, pinching the bridge of her nose, letting me know she was getting frustrated at my antics.
I pulled the box out of my pocket and opened it, looking up at her patiently. When she finally concentrated on what was on my hand, I smiled at the way her eyes slowly grew wide and her mouth dropped open.
“Chance?”
“Listen, I’m not known to be the kind of guy who settles down,” I said. “And quite honestly, I have no idea how to do what I’m doing right now.”
She smiled a little and I could see her eyes begin to water. “Timing is definitely not your strong point.”
I laughed. “No, it isn’t,” I said. “But what I am good at is knowing what I want, and what I want, Ashlyn Boone, is to spend the rest of my life with you.” I waited for a beat before I added, “And your flowers.”
She laughed, covering her mouth with her hands quickly as a tear rolled down one cheek. She shook her head slowly, as if in disbelief, and looked from me to the ring and back at me again.
“You’re insane,” she finally said.
“Is that a yes?”
She didn’t hesitate and fell to her knees in front of me, kissing me deeply. “Yes,” she whispered. “Yes, you idiot. A billion times yes!”
Bonus Scene: The Most Eligible Bachelor
Chance
The feeling of hot water on my body was great. The feeling of Ashlyn’s naked skin pressed against mine made it even better.
I couldn’t get enough of her. The way her eyes bore into mine, the way she smiled at me, how her hair fell across her face in locks that bounced whenever she turned her head. Just being around her had my head spinning, and right now, with the both of us in the shower, naked except for the ring on her finger, I couldn’t help but want her even more.
Her kisses were passionate, a little wild even, like she had been waiting to do this all day and had just needed an excuse. The water mixed with the feel of her lips, and her tongue did little dances across my mouth, as if she wasn’t quite sure which part of me she wanted to taste the most. Her arms were wrapped tight around my neck, her breasts pushed against my chest, and although the water was hot, the heat coming from between her legs was like a furnace.
I pulled her closer, feeling the heat of her crotch against my thigh. My lips traced kissed from her jaw, down to her neck and across her shoulder. She pressed her hips against me, rubbing herself against my thigh, her breathing intensifying. I felt her arms tighten around me, and her nails dug into the skin of my back. Her lips found their way to my ear, nibbling on the lobe as her breaths turned into soft moans. And all the while, she kept her hips moving.
I squeezed her ass, locking my lips onto hers as I breathed her in. With the water falling around us, it was almost as if we were merging with one another, our hands exploring, our bodies intertwining. It felt incredible, and when I reached down between her legs, my fingers gently grazing the inside of her thighs before sliding in between her pussy lips, she clung to me for dear life as her body shuddered.
“Chance,” she moaned.
My fingers found her clit quickly, and I gently squeezed it, sending more shudders through her body. Her nails gently scratched my back, and with her mouth against my ear, her breaths warm and heavy, I slipped two fingers inside her.
“Oh God,” she moaned, lifting one leg up and wrapping it around mine, giving me better access. I held her tight, balancing her in my arms as my fingers slid in and out of her, slowly at first before picking up speed. She began to buck her hips against me, meeting every thrust of my hand with her own. She was using my fingers as her personal dildo, and I was loving the look on her face, with her head thrown back and her eyes closed, the water falling across her breasts in torrents.
