“Exhausting. James is leaving to take further studies and I’m just stressing because I don’t know how I’ll run that gallery without him. It’s the reason I haven’t started on the expansion.”

I turned her around to face me. “You’ll do just fine. Another person or more people can be hired and you’ll perform great. I believe in you.”

She smiled and I kissed her lips. She smelt of citrus scented soap and I wanted to just sniff her all evening. She deepened the kiss and I encouraged her by drawing her body closer into mine. I could feel my body begin to get excited by her body rubbing against mine.

“Are you trying to get me all excited?” I asked against her lips and she laughed.

“You started this; I’ll continue it.” She said and gently pushed me to the bed, which I fell onto and relaxed my body. She took the towel around her chest off, exposing her beautiful, naked body. I licked my lips like a thirsty man waiting for a drop of water from between her thighs.

She straddled me on the bed and continued with the kiss. Her lips teased, licked, and gently bit mine. I was already fully excited at this time. The warmth of her naked body on me was driving me over the edge. The towel on her head unwrapped itself and fell to our faces and we laughed.

I gently took it off and threw it to the side of the bed before continuing to devour her lips. She started the movement of undoing the buttons on my shirt, which I helped in. Next, the trousers and underwear came off.

I took my fingers between her thighs, parting her folds to feel the wetness there. Her body shuddered in response to my fingers between her thighs. I gently rubbed on her hooded arousal and her body tensed up. My fingers went back into her wetness, sliding into her. She moaned at the feeling.

The sound of her moaning against my ears did crazy things to my body. She started riding my fingers and it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen her do. The movements her exposed breasts made while she did her riding motion were a beauty to behold.

She suddenly stopped to steady herself before she fell off the bed and I held her with my free hand. My finger slid out of her and she protested with her facial expression. I smiled at her and lifted her up, carefully bringing her down into me.

At entry, she paused and held her lips tightly together from the pleasure. After a few seconds, she resumed her riding motion and I moaned into her lips. She kissed me and held onto me tightly as she continued riding me into ecstasy.

“Val, you’re going to be the death of me,” I whispered with my heart rate increasing as I felt my orgasm near.

She chuckled and responded, “Gladly.”

Both our bodies were in sync as we reached orgasm at the same time. I threw my back into the bed and she fell flat on my chest.

“Marry me,” I said and she looked up at me.

“What?”

“I had a whole proposal planned, but being here with you right now, I couldn’t help the emotions rising in my chest. I know in my heart that I want to be with you and build a family with you, so please, marry me.”

She smiled and lay back down on my chest. “Leon,” she said, tears in her eyes. “Yes, I’ll marry you, but I still want a ring.”

“You’ll get an expensive one, my love.”

VALENTINA

The words ‘marry me’ kept ringing in my head. Leon and I were getting engaged and I couldn’t believe it. Our love journey started out really shaky with many uncertainties but here we were, getting engaged. I stared at the large diamond ring on my finger and my eyes watered.

Leon was still on his knees and I helped him get up. We hugged and our entire family members surrounding us loudly clapped and cheered. Leon asked me to marry him after intercourse last week and today, he told me that we were going to a small party Lucian was throwing for Brooklyn to celebrate the birth of their son. Little did I know that it was our engagement party.

Ava escaped the arms of her grandfather who was playing with her and ran into the hug and everyone cheered with excitement. Leon lifted her off her feet and showed her my ring. She hugged her father tightly. The party went into full swing and everyone was happy, eating, drinking and dancing.

I thought about how far I had come after months in therapy. It not only helped me get over the trauma of the kidnapping, it also helped me become a better woman in so many other aspects of my life. I handled work better and my relationship with Leon was so good.

I had been unwilling to hear anything about Gerald’s case for a long time. Leon and our lawyers had long finalized the case and everything surrounding it and Leon promised not to mention it to me as long as I didn’t want to know.

After my most recent session with my therapist, I felt the need to know about him and finally let go, so I had the conversation with Leon. He told me that Gerald was found guilty and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

A part of me wanted to feel bad for him. He would spend the next 16 years behind bars, but I also thought about what he did to my daughter and me. He got what he deserved and I could finally move on from that episode of my life.

I saw Vivian standing over at the drinking fountain and walked up to her. “You helped Leon plan this, right?”

She smiled. “I was happy when he told me of his plans to propose.”

“We’ve spoken every day since last week; how did I not notice you were planning something?”
