"In the past, you and I communicated our feelings by sharing songs, so I selected a special one for you. Wanna hear?"
"Of course," I say breathlessly.
With a smile, he sits back behind the Bösendorfer, and arranges his fingers on the white and black keys. His blue orbs connect with mine. "This one is for you."
Awestruck, I gaze at how he creates the absolute magical sound without even looking at the keys, and I place a hand on my heart when he suddenly sings the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, "I Am Yours" by Andy Grammer, while playing from memory. My lip trembles, and my vision blurs as I listen to how he brings these beautiful lines to me. From the bottom of my soul, I can say that I've never felt this special in my life. The moment the song ends, and he stands, I launch myself at him. With my arms around his waist, I glance up.
"You, Cole Walker, are by far the sexiest and most romantic man on this planet." He sends me an outrageous smile while taking both my hands in his. His eyes are like two rare gems. More beautiful with every blink.
"The moment my attention fell on a red goddess dancing in high heels in Six-Pack, her beauty mesmerized me. But I would never have guessed she would be the person who would change my world forever. But you did. You've taught me what the verbto lovetruly means. You're more than a woman with a sassy mouth and dazzling features. The way you looked past my prickly exterior and helped me bond with Samantha made me realize how special you are. Your gentle tenderness combined with your no-bullshit attitude awakened me."
Goosebumps travel over my skin as he places soft kisses on my knuckles without breaking our eye contact.
"You're an incredible woman, and I'm at a loss for words to describe the depth of my feelings for you, Alex. The thought of losing you, or not having you in my life every day, is unthinkable. I want the entire world to know that you're mine and that we belong together."
He lets go of one hand and slips it into the inner pocket of his jacket. I blink rapidly when he lowers himself to one knee and shows me a drop-dead gorgeous ring.
"Alisha Alexandra McQueen, will you marry me? Will you be my wife?"
I keep blinking while whispering, "You want to marry me?"
He comes back up, holds my chin and gazes at me.
"Absofuckinglutely. Is that a yes?”
I snake my arm around his neck and draw his face towards me. "Yes, I want to marry you." Our mouths collide, and my fingers glide into his hair as his tongue slides between my parted lips to meet mine. A deep moan escapes us both as the fire between us ignites.
"How long have you been planning this?" I ask.
"From the minute you woke up in the hospital." He tugs a strand of hair behind my ear. "You're it for me, Alex." He takes my hand, and I hold my breath when he slips the ring on my finger. "The beauty of it reminds me of you."
I gawk at the two-tone gold ring. It has a trellis of natural diamonds cascading downwards from either side, beautifying the shiny red ruby on top.
"Holy fuck, it's..."
I grab his face a second time and stare into his eyes while placing his forehead against mine.
"I love you. I never thought I would find a man that could tame me."
"You don't need taming. You're perfect as you are, Alex."
I smile. "You sure know the way to this woman's heart. And for that, I think it's time for me to present you withmygift." Without another word, I take two steps back and open my jacket.
Bulging eyes,check. Drooling,check. My eyes drop to his pants. Hard,check. I shed the coat and swing my hips sideways while gliding my palms over my body.
"Four weeks are up, and I have needs, Cole. Now, I can fix the problem myself, but you told me you would satisfyallmy needs," I say, slipping a hand between my legs and caressing my damp panties.
He moves and removes my hand, dominance radiating off him. "Mine."
With utmost care, he trails his fingers over my collarbone to the straps and follows them to where they connect with the bustier. "This is better than the wet dreams I've been having these past four weeks. And I had many."
I smile at his confession. "Good to know I'm not the only one with needs."
"This is the best present I've unwrapped in my entire life." He pulls on the lace ribbon, and the lingerie drops to the floor. His hand cups my naked breasts. "Damn. You're the dazzling completeness of beauty." Fingertips brush over my hard peaks, and my head falls back when he lowers his head and attacks my right nipple, swirling his tongue around the needy tip.
"Are you ready, my future Mrs. Walker?"
"Yes. I want you."
