When we pull up to the restaurant, Willow looks at me, her eyes sparkling with joy as she bites her lip. She knows that drives me wild. “You know you don’t have to do anything fancy for me, Big Daddy.” She pokes my arm. “I’m happy to spend the night curled up on the couch with you.”
I wrap my hand around the back of her neck and pull her closer, kissing her softly and slowly. I rub my nose along hers as I pulled away from her. “I know, Little Bit. Let me spoil you. It’s our six-month anniversary.”
She twists up her mouth in a pout as I arch an eyebrow at her in challenge. I can see in her eyes she is going to relent in her argument. After a kiss on her forehead, I release her and then I’m out of my truck and around to her side to help her down. I love having my hands on her for any reason. She gets my blood pumping and no one else will ever compare.
Even though I know how this is going to go, pretty sure at least, dinner is a blur. I focus on my woman—the way she smiles, the way she enjoys every bite of her food, the way her eyes light up and the way I can make her laugh. It’s as if all the light in the room is absorbed by her.
When the waiter clears our dinner away, I wink at her. “How about we share something sweet?”
She grins at me and tilts her head. “I thought I was the only sweet thing you needed?”
She wiggles her eyebrows at me comically making me throw back my head and laugh. Even when she’s trying to be cute, she’s the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. I force myself not to look at the way her tits jiggle in her dress as she giggles with me.
“Come on, indulge with me,” I challenge her.
She gives a little shrug and I know I got her. I thought about doing the whole ring in the dessert thing but thought it might be a little cheesy. Instead, I order a flourless chocolate cake which I know is their specialty here. Axel told me Willow would enjoy it and I almost can’t wait to hear the little moans of pleasure she’ll make as she licks the chocolate off the spoon.
Just thinking about it makes my dick throb in my pants. I’m tempted to get the cake to go, but I hold off. For now.
I know it won’t take long for dessert to come, but I don’t think I can wait that long. I reach across the table and hold my hand out to my woman, palm up. She doesn’t hesitate to slip her left hand into mine. Her smile takes on a luminescence only I get to enjoy and bask in.
“What’s up, Lincoln?” She narrows her eyes at me. “You’ve been kind of far away all night.”
My eyebrows furrow together as a spark of panic rushes through me. I hate the idea of her not feeling the full force of my attention and love. She deserves it and so much more.
My woman giggles and gives my hand a squeeze. “I’m not complaining, you’ve been present, but also far away.” She scrunches her nose up, “Does that make sense?”
I take a deep breath and get myself together. As I look deep into my woman’s brown eyes, they pull me in the same way they did the first time; the same way they do every time. With one look all the nervousness evaporates.
“You’re so beautiful, Little Bit.” She gets a soft smile on her face, one which is just for me. Always has been. I give her hand a squeeze. “You’re the only woman who has ever owned my heart, owned me.”
“Right back at you, Big Daddy,” she says with amusement in her voice and her smile unwavering.
I shift enough to pull the ring out of my pocket and palm it in my hand. I flip her hand over and pull it a little closer. “Willow,” my voice breaks on her name. I want this to be perfect and I know the only way to go is to speak from my heart. I bring my hand up and start to slip the ring on her finger but not past her knuckle.
“Lincoln,” she gasps. Her eyes well up with tears, but I know they are happy ones. “Are you serious right now?”
“My Little Bit,” I look right in her eyes so she can see how serious I am. “There is nothing else in this world I want more than for you to be my wife and for us to always be together. I knew the moment I saw you; I knew you were my woman. I knew you always would be.” I shake my head self-deprecatingly. “With one look I was hooked, and I always will be. You’re it for me.”
“You’re it for me, too,” she whispers.
“Good, Willow. That’s good.” I push the ring a little farther onto her finger, but not all the way. Not yet. “Will you marry me?”
“Big Daddy,” she sighs.
My heart stutters in my chest and for a second pure fear sweeps through me. Is it possible I got this all wrong? Is it possible she doesn’t want to be my wife? Could she really say no?
“I would be honored to be your wife,” she breathes out.
I slip the ring on her finger and then I’m up and around the table as quickly as my legs can carry me. I pull her out of her chair and wrap my arms around her, plastering her curvy body flush against me. I kiss her hard, prying my lips open with my own so my tongue can play with hers.
Only when we need to breathe do I pull away from her. Her eyes are hazy with lust as she looks up at me. A slow smile grows on her face, and I arch an eyebrow in question.
Willow lets out a squeal. “I can’t wait for you to be my husband!” She blinks a few times and a tear streaks down her face, but I brush it away with the pad of her thumb. “My husband,” she sounds awestruck as she repeats herself. She shakes herself off as she looks up at me from underneath her lashes. “I thought I was going to be the one pulling out the big guns tonight.”
“What are you talking about, Little Bit?”
She grins at me, “Well, I won’t be the only one calling you Big Daddy soon.”
