“Good to know. That would’ve been an extreme way to ask me to move in with you,” he called back, a smile in his tone.
I removed the robe and draped it over a kitchen chair. With my spine straight and my shoulders squared, I slowly walked back into the living room. Towards my future. “I’m not asking you to move in with me, Ryan.”
He froze at the sight of me completely naked except for a pair of black strappy stilettos. “Holy hell, babe.” His gaze tracked from my face down to my breasts, the dip in my waist, my hips and the small strip above my mound.
“The question I have for you, Ryan, is far more important.”
He blinked and slid his gaze back up my body and to my face. “Ask me anything.”
“Anything?”
He nodded. “Anything.”
“I want you to be mine, Ryan. Mine in every way that matters.”
“I am,” he insisted but I shook my head.
“You are my best friend. My lover. My boyfriend?”
He smiled. “I like the sound of that.”
“Me too, but it’s a bit too immature, too temporary for what I have in mind.” My hands fidgeted with the chain around my waist, finally drawing his eyes to the jewelry.
“Persephone.”
I smiled. “That’s right, Ryan. You told me to let you know when I was ready to love you the way you loved me, and I am. This ring is how you love me, fully and completely. Perfectly.” I went to him with a smile. “I want you to be mine. Forever.”
“Done.” His hands went to my waist and removed the clasp of the necklace, grabbing the black band before it hit the floor. “You sure about this?”
“Damn sure. I love you and I don’t want to wait another minute to start or life together, Ryan. Say you’ll marry me.”
His hands gripped my waist and yanked me flush against his hard body. “I’ll marry you, Persephone. Whenever. Wherever.”
“Perfect,” I sighed.
Ryan smiled. “It is now.” He laid me down on the sofa and pressed his delicious weight into mine, giving me a glimpse of just what our future would look like.
Happy.
Deliriously happy.
Orgasm filled.
Love filled.
Friendship and love and forever. It was the perfect recipe for happiness.
THE END
