Angela’s breath caught her in chest. “Oh my God!”
“Angela Trainor, I love you so much and I hope I haven’t royally screwed this up, so would you please do me the honor of being my wife? Will you marry me? And before you answer, know that I promise to be committed to you and only you to the day I die.”
“Oh, Daniel.” Angela threw her arms around him and began kissing him furiously on his neck, cheeks and finally his lips. When she lifted her head, she said, “Do you have any idea how I’ve longed to hear you say those words?” She cupped his face and in his eyes she saw the love she’d always known was there, but he’d been afraid to let shine. “Because I love you, too. And I have since Key West.”
“Since then?”
She nodded. “But I knew you weren’t looking for love, for marriage, for any of it. You’d shied away from it for years. You’re the media’s quintessential bachelor and you played up the role. But I thought if I showed you my love, with my actions, that you’d see it, feel it, know it.”
“I knew that night in Key West when we made love that something had shifted between us, that it wasn’t just sex anymore. But if I looked too closely I’d have to look inside myself to a place I’d kept hidden until now. I’m just so glad that I haven’t lost you, Angela. But you haven’t answered my question. Will you marry me?”
“Yes, I will marry you.”
Daniel pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
It was the kiss of her dreams.
Hot and demanding, his mouth claimed hers as he took and tasted all at the same time. His body pressed into hers and Angela welcomed him and the invasion of his tongue in her mouth. She wrapped her fingers around his head and kissed him back. They were possessing each other in a wildly passionate kiss on the blanket in the sand as red-hot desire pulsated between them.
At the contact of his rigid length against her, her nipples hardened and her stomach quivered as heat pooled in her lower half. Daniel hauled her on top of him, clutching her bottom as he molded her against him. She felt his hands on her top, pulling it up and over her head. Then he unfastened her bra and tossed it aside.
Before she knew it, Daniel was rolling her over onto her back, unzipping her jeans and pulling them and her panties off in one swift moment until she was naked. Then he furiously began tearing at his own clothes, eager to be as naked as she was. Neither of them cared where they were, only that they wanted each other and wanted to consummate their love.
It took Daniel only a few seconds to find a condom in his wallet, sheath himself and return to cover Angela’s naked body with his. Angela felt a surge of elation when he plunged deep inside her. Wrapping her legs around him, she abandoned herself to the thrust of his hips against hers. She clenched around him, taking him in and enjoying the glorious sensation of having him fill her completely.
He loved her.
He adored her.
It was sheer ecstasy.
She was consumed with happiness so it didn’t take long for her to float away as she reached utter satiation.

“You realize we’re both exhibitionists,” Daniel said as they lay naked, limbs wrapped around each other and fully satisfied, on the blanket between the dunes.
She smiled. “I guess we are, but there’s no place I would rather be.”
“I love you, Angela,” Daniel said again. Now that he’d said the words aloud, he couldn’t stop repeating them. “And I know it’s been a whirlwind romance, but I can’t wait to make you my wife. The sooner, the better. What do you think of a September wedding? Maybe we could go back to Key West?”
“What’s the rush?” Angela laughed, sitting up on one elbow and staring down at him. “If we rush into marriage, people might think we have to get married, that you’ve knocked me up or something.”
Daniel’s heart began to palpitate and he was a bit breathless when he asked, “You’re not pregnant, are you?”
“Of course not,” Angela replied. “You do recall how diligent you’ve been with protection, even just now.”
She was right. Despite how overcome with passion he’d been, he had reached for the emergency condom he always kept in his wallet. Of course, he wouldn’t need them for too much longer. He couldn’t wait for the moment when they were husband and wife and he could dispense with protection. He wanted no barriers between them when they made love.
