I slid my hands up her waist, over her ribs. “I have other plans for you,mi cielo.”
“Mm. Is that so?” She swayed in my arms. “And were you planning to consult me about these ‘other plans’?”
“Of course. But I have a feeling you’ll like them.”
“You want me to take back my job with the Leatherbacks?” she asked.
“I never filled the position, but no. I had a different title in mind.” I released her and stepped back, my heart pounding.
“What’s that?” she asked, her eyes still on the Eiffel Tower as the lights started to flash.
I knelt to the floor, knowing it was time. Then I said, “Wife.”
Her eyes snapped to me. I was waiting on bended knee, and I opened the red velvet box to reveal a large oval-cut diamond set on a band of smaller pavé stones.
She held her hand to her mouth, her eyes wide. “What? What are you doing?”
I smiled. “Kendall, you are my everything. Say you’ll marry me.”
She blinked a few times. “Knox. I—” She shook her head. “I…Really?” It was almost a squeal.
“Yes.” I chuckled. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Say yes.”
Her answering smile was so fucking beautiful, just like her. And then she said, “Yes. Yes, of course I’ll marry you. I’m sorry, I’m just…” Her breath hitched. “I wasn’t expecting this. I figured when you mentioned marriage, you meant in the future.”
“You are my future,” I said, sliding the ring on her finger. “And I’m done waiting. Hell, if you wanted to elope right now, get married while we’re here, I would.”
She draped her arms around my neck, pressing up on her toes to kiss me. “I can’t wait to be your wife. But I want to celebrate with our family and friends. I mean…Emmy would be a little upset if I came home married.”
“Not your mom?” I teased.
“Nah.” She kissed me again. “She’d probably be happy.”
“Are you happy?” I asked.
She slid her hand down my chest, covering my heart. Her ring sparkled, and her smile was just as dazzling.
“So incredibly happy,” she said.
I covered her hand then held it out so we could admire the ring together.
“This ring is…incredible,” she said, her eyes wide as she studied the setting.
“I had it custom designed for you. I hope it’s not too much.”
She shook her head. “It’s perfect.”
“Good.” I pecked her cheek. “Champagne?”
“Yes, please.”
I headed for the kitchen, grabbing two glasses and a bottle of champagne. When I returned, she was lying on the bed, naked except for my ring. She crooked her finger, beckoning me closer.
I smirked and loosened the wire cage from the champagne before removing the cork with a pop. I took a swig and then carried it over to the bed, deciding to forgo the glasses. Now that I’d seen her, I had other plans.
“Open for me,” I rasped, my cock already hard.
She tilted her head back and parted her lips. I watched in fascination as she swallowed the champagne down. When some dribbled out of her mouth and down her cheek, I licked it clean.
