Time is no longer moving… We’re suspended. And I’m just staring down at him, this man who used to be my father, and who is now so much more…

Kneeling on the floor and asking me to be his husband?!

It’s crazy. Completely ridiculous, the most terrifying and incredible thing I’ve ever heard anyone say.

But there’s only one response. There is only one word I could use to answer a question like this…

“Yes,” I croak, with tears immediately flowing down my cheeks. I couldn’t stop them if I wanted to. “Yes… Fuck yea, of course I’ll marry you.”

I launch myself at him.

My heart is soaring behind my ribcage, adrenaline making me all twitchy, my mind running a mile a minute. I’m only ninety percent sure this is actually happening.

But if it is a dream, I never want to wake up.

The man of my dreams just asked me to marry him…

And I said yes.

Holy fuck, we’re engaged!

James is chuckling, all sweet and sexy and nervous while I tackle him to the floor, kissing his neck and face, everywhere my lips can reach. I’ve completely forgotten for a moment that we’re naked, until I feel his dick twitching on my abs.

“Baby…” I sniffle, lifting to look down at him. “You really just proposed to me…?”

He beams, the smile of someone so desperately, almost stupidly in love, covering his face.

Okay, I lied. This is my favorite look on him.

“I did,” he hums, holding my face. “And you said yes.”

I bite my lip. “We’re gonna get married…?”

He nods. “Yea. We are.”

“Fuck…” I whimper, dropping my face back into his neck so he doesn’t see me cry like a total loser.

“We might need to wash out that mouth of yours with soap, kid,” he teases.

“Yea, probably,” I grumble to cover up the shake in my voice. “It’s done some pretty filthy things.”

He laughs out loud, lifting me up and forcing me to look at him. “I’m sorry…”

My brow furrows. “For what?? In case you can’t tell, I’m ecstatic.”

He grins. “No… it’s just… I didn’t plan on asking you like this. While we’re naked and sweaty… post-stupefying orgasm.”

I chuckle. “Were you carried away by the moment…?”

He nods. “Yes. Very much.”

I drop a kiss on his lips. But then I pause. “Wait, so you’ve been planning this?” His eyes sparkle up at me and he bites his lip. “You’ve been… wanting to ask me?”
