Nash gazes down at me, “From what?”
“From myself. I was on a dangerous path. You saved me.”
He pushes the hair out of my face and stares at me, “We saved each other, Ivy. I don’t know how this happened or why. You should have been the one woman I stayed far away from. I couldn’t. I think there’s a bigger reason for it.”
“Like God?”
“Or my mom?”
He’s silent for a few minutes before adding, “I don’t really know. I just think somehow, someway this was meant to happen. We were supposed to save each other.”
EPILOGUE ONE
NASH
Three years later…
The last threeyears of my life have been beyond my wildest dreams. I sleep every night with a beautiful woman in my arms and wake up with her wrapped around me every morning. Today is Ivy’s twenty-first birthday. She wanted to spend the day painting, and she has, but that’s about to end. I’m not letting her spend the entire evening of her big day at home. Everything I have planned is a surprise.
I set out a dress, panties, shoes, and a bra for her on the bed. I don’t want her to have to think about what to wear tonight. It needs to be stress-free for her. She'd probably refuse if she knew how many people were coming to celebrate with us. Ivy deserves to be celebrated.
Walking into her studio, I take in her beauty from behind. Her long dark hair is in a tight ponytail, and she’s humming to herself, as she paints slow strokes in red, so stunning. When she senses me and turns on her stool, I hand her a wet towel, “Clean your hands.”
“I’m painting.”
I shake my head, “Be a good girl, and do what you’re told. Youwerepainting. Now you’re not.”
She blows a hair out of her face and cleans her hands on the towel.
“What’s so important?”
“I need to talk to you.”
Ivy nods, “Okay. I’m sorry.”
Nodding, I say, “The night I spanked you against the tree you changed my life. I became obsessed with you. As much as I tried to convince myself I’d stay away from you, deep down, I knew I wouldn’t. It wasn’t because you were hot, although you most definitely are, there was something in you that called to me. My pain recognized your pain. We healed each other. The night I took your virginity, I made you mine. I’m asking you now to be mine forever.”
I drop to my knees and pull her down to the floor with me, pull the ring out of my pocket, and say, “I need you to be my wife like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve waited three years for you to get older. It’s time now. Will you marry me?”
Ivy presses her face to my chest and cries softly. Suddenly, I panic. It’s too soon. She’s still only twenty-one years old. Today is the first day she can legally drink.
“Is it too soon?”
She pulls back and gazes at me, “It could never be too soon, Nash. I love you. Of course, I’ll marry you.”
I cradle her face in my hands, “Thank you,” and press my lips to hers, kissing her softly then slide the three-carat solitaire diamond ring onto her finger. She stares at it with pride, which is exactly what I wanted. I spent months picking out the perfect ring for her. I wanted something as beautiful as she is. This is the closest I could find.
“Your clothes are on the bed. Go get ready, we have plans.”
Ivy bats her eyelashes at me, “Wouldn’t you rather stay home and fuck your fiancée’?”
I sigh, “Probably, yes. We have plans, go get ready. I’ll have plenty of time to fuck my fiancée’.”
She giggles and gets up and runs off to the bedroom. I get up and clean her paintbrushes for her. I know she’ll be pissed when she realizes she forgot to take care of them.
Ivy comes in wearing the white dress I bought for her. It has a thin fabric covered in diamonds that lays over the white satin. It falls just below the knee with a slit up the side.
“You look stunning, Princess.”
