He pulled me into his arms and held me tight, kissing my cheeks that were now wet with tears. We remained that way for a long time, until the chef came out to see if we had finished our desserts, which we had barely touched. He quickly retreated back into the kitchen, leaving Owen and me in a fit of laughter.
He grabbed my hand and slid the ring onto my shaking finger, then kissed the top of my hand before kissing my lips gently and with great care.
“How did you know I love emeralds?” I whispered.
“Lucky guess,” he said with a wink.
“It’s so beautiful. I can’t believe this.”
I held the ring up to the light to get a better look, and I truly couldn’t believe it was mine. I couldn’t believe thatOwenwas mine, and I was going to be his forever. Whatever expectations I had for this vacation had just been surpassed by a long shot.
After finishingour meal and enjoying the last drops of wine in the bottle, Owen and I retreated to the couch in front of the fireplace, holding each other and cuddling up in a blanket. I threw my legs across his lap and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight.
“I love you,” I whispered into his chest.
He kissed my hair and squeezed me tight.
“I love you more.”
“Owen?”
“Yes?”
“Is this real life?”
“I’m afraid so.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re stuck with me. No getting rid of me now.”
“Like I would ever dream of such a thing.”
He pulled me closer to him so we were chest to chest and my knees were straddling him. He looked me deep in the eyes, and I felt my heart start to melt. He grabbed my face between his hands and pulled my mouth to his, immediately letting his tongue explore my lips and down my neck.
Without any hesitation, I pulled my sweater off over my head, and leaned down to him once again. Within seconds, my bra was being flung across the room, and Owen began working on his own clothes.
Finally naked and pressed up against each other, we pulled the blanket on top of us just in time for the chef to come waltzing out of the kitchen. I had honestly forgotten he was there.
“Au revoir,” he said as he made his way to the door.
“Merci,” Owen muttered.
“Au revoir,” I stammered.
We waited a moment, and then burst into laughter. Of all the people to catch us in a compromising situation on this trip, we never thought it would be a complete stranger.
“Well, we’re finally alone,” he whispered.
“I thought we were alone a long time ago,” I said with a laugh.
“Come here,” he groaned as he pulled me closer to him, running his hands through my hair.
He kissed me with intensity, and I had to pinch myself to remember this was real. I was going to get to enjoy him like this for the rest of my life.
I leaned forward and kissed his neck, which made his back arch and his mouth open wide. I ran my tongue down the front of it and to his chest, where I gently circled his nipple. He moaned as I teased him and played with every part of his body I could get my hands on. He was hard and ready for me, so I positioned myself on top of him so he could easily slide inside.
The feeling of him in me was intense and powerful. I rocked my hips back and forth, simply enjoying the sensation of riding him. He opened his eyes and looked up at me with a half-smile on his face.
