Chase, stammering?

He took my hand. Playing with my fingers, he looked into my eyes. “I love you, Ivy. I want to spend my life with you.”

I searched for a glimmer of a smile, but he remained dead serious.

For some reason, I looked at the two rich heiresses, who I could only assume were loaded, going by their Hermès handbags. They kept gazing longingly at Chase. And why wouldn’t they? He was beyond hot. He was funny, warm, and a good listener. I’d been with enough men to know that it didn’t take much for their minds to wander.

“Yes” issued out of my lips. With my brain in party mode, my heart had taken control, and my soul was in the background, crying and smiling at the same time.

He lifted me off my chair, hugged me, and planted a warm, moist kiss on my lips. “You’ve made me a happy man.”

He dug into his pocket. “I haven’t had time to shop properly. But this belonged to my nanna.”

Even hearing him say nanna made my eyes water with the threat of a deluge. My heart was sobbing like it had just finished watching The Notebook.

I stared at the sapphire-and-diamond-encrusted ring. “It’s beautiful. I love it.” I slid it onto my finger. Wiggling my fingers, I looked up at him and shook my head with joyful surprise. “It fits.”

“It looks great.” He leaned in and kissed me.

I peered over his shoulder and noticed the princesses’ gaping mouths, wide enough to swallow a train. They were just as shocked as I was. Still, it gave me no end of joy to have someone from the scene witnessing what was the most special moment in my life.

Chase waved to the waiter. “Champagne. The best you have.”

The following day, I had to work in the shop. My heart hadn’t stopped racing. I was like a Ferrari on cocaine. That’s if cars did sniff. But confused metaphors were the best my blissed-out brain could imagine.

I smiled at all the customers and was rewarded with killer sales, despite running the shop alone.

It was miraculous how positive energy generated great outcomes.

Away on a business trip, my mother wasn’t around to witness this newfound zest that had me virtually dancing with the customers. No doubt she would have been impressed, though.

She didn’t know about Chase’s proposal. Nobody did.

Maybe I needed to wait and see if we were really about to tie the knot.

Tie the knot? Bound together forever?Gulp.

I couldn’t stop gazing down at my beautiful ring, as if it possessed magical powers. It felt like I could fly or conquer the Chrysler Building in one single bound.

Chase and I arrived in the Hamptons the night before, so that we could spend some time alone before that white colonial mansion by the sea was invaded by family.

I stretched out on the large bed, luxuriating like a contented feline. Crisp, cotton sheets caressed my skin against a backdrop of chirping birds, the roaring ocean, and an equally roaring hard-on rubbing enticingly against my butt.

“Mm…” I turned and was met by the sleepy and sultry smile of my husband-to-be, his waves all tousled and his warm, smooth skin smelling delightfully of faded cologne and sex.

Our bodies melted into each other effortlessly, and his hand slid over my skin, making it tingle. His fingertips seemed to possess electrical currents.

As his dick slid in, I felt a delicious burn and released a euphoric sigh. I could never tire of this, especially the pleasurable friction as he thrust into me teasingly slowly before building to a blistering tempo. That man was an athlete in bed. He may have had an aversion to jogging, but boy, he had stamina.

The more we fucked, the greedier I became. My throat hurt from moaning and groaning.

I moved up and down and gyrated over his big dick, which never seemed to go soft. He fondled my breasts, while his eyes smoldered into mine.

“You’re so fucking wet,” he said, sounding like he was about to erupt. His flexed sinewy muscles shimmered with sweat.

We stared into each other’s eyes and smiled, but our grins quickly dissolved into a primal type of longing the deeper and harder he pumped into me.

Chase had changed.
