Mom rolls her eyes at Dad, and then gets teary-eyed. “We’re not going to keep you, but it was so nice and appreciated what Derek did for us today. To see our baby being proposed to.” She swipes at a tear. “And Tanner, that was a beautiful proposal…Welcome to the family.”

“Thank you, Mrs. McKenzie.”

“Lily.” Mom smiles.

Tanner nods.

“We’ll have a guy’s night out when you’re here. Welcome you properly into the McKenzie fold,” Dad states while Mom and I moan. He chuckles, “And I’m Michael… Your father is more than welcome to join us for New Year.”

“Thank you. I’ll pass that on.”

Dad nods and breaks the connection. Silence follows as I turn in Tanner’s arms. “We’re engaged,” I whisper, holding him close.

“Hmm.” He chuckles. “In years to come, I’ll be able to tell our kids how I proposed to you on Christmas Day while you wore pajamas covered in penguins.”

I gasp and smack him on the ass. “I’m not the only one in penguins,” I tease, raising a brow. “You look really hot though. Penguins on your legs, black T-shirt, morning hair, morning scruff…”

“Morning wood,” he whispers into my ear, tugging me with him toward the Christmas tree while I laugh, feeling so happy I could burst with it.

Tanner

Her breasts quiver under my teasing tongue while my body holds her down under me. Her breathing is heavy and her hands tremble in my hair. I slowly move and kiss the pulsing hollow at the base of her throat before moving my mouth over hers, devouring its softness.

Fondling a large globe, its pink nipple goes marble hard and Charlotte gasps, arching into my touch while I deepen the kiss.

My cock throbs for relief against her thigh, but I haven’t finished the slow loving I want to give her tonight. The first night as my fiancée.

Consum

ing her moans of pleasure, my hand sears a path down her abdomen and onto her thigh, gently creating a blazing trail of fire along her skin as she moans and writhes under my touch.

I dip my head to capture a taut, dusky pink nipple between my teeth, biting down gently as I explore her thighs with my hand, moving it slowly upwards to the heat of her arousal.

Pausing to catch my breath, I kiss her, whispering my love for each part of her as I gather her against my pulsing body. Instinctively, she arches toward mine, as she matches my urgency with her own lusty needs.

Unable to wait a moment longer to feel her slick sheath wrapped around me, I widen her thighs to accommodate my size and slowly push forward.

Charlotte arches from the bed, moaning, and arching closer to my groin until its flesh against flesh, man against woman. My body has her imprisoned in a web of growing arousal as I dip my head and brush my lips across the tight buds of her nipples.

“Tanner…so intense.” Her gaze holds mine as she gasps in sweet agony when I slowly rock my hips, my hands exploring the soft lines of her back, her waist, her hips.

“I want to touch you everywhere at once,” I mumble, slipping a hand around to her bottom, holding her still, sinking deeply into her body.

Charlotte cries out for release, urging me to move faster as her body melts against mine and my world is filled with only her...the woman I’ll love until my last breath.

Clinging to my arms, her eyelids flutter, and waves of ecstasy throbs through me. Unable to move my gaze from her expressive face, I watch as Charlotte explodes in a downpour of fiery sensation, tugging my own release from my body, in slow hard pulses.

She lies panting under me, her chest heaving, while small tremors tingle along my spent cock inside her warmth.

With huge reluctance, I slip free of her body and collapse beside her. She snuggles against me and our legs intertwine. Reaching for the quilt, I toss it over us and lie in silence, letting the night wrap around us.

We stay together like this for a while until Charlotte lifts her hand from the bed, letting her ring catch in the moonlight coming through the window. “I’ll always treasure today, Tanner. Not just the proposal. This ring. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to tell you what it means to me that you trust me with your mother’s ring.”

I kiss the curve of her neck and admit, “She told me to give it to the woman who will hold my heart until I take my last breath…and that’s you.”

I blink back the tears forming in my eyes in remembrance, but Charlotte knows and forces my gaze to hers. “She would have been so proud of you, Tanner.” She smiles. “Not just for finding me,” she teases, “but for the man that you are today.”
