Lowering my head, I shook it, unable to explain why I was acting so stupid. “I don’t know. It was just something exploded inside me when I saw you together.”
She caressed my cheek with her hand and said quietly, “Baby, I don’t know how to convince you that you’re the only man I want. I can tell you a million times, but you don’t seem to believe me.”
I caught her hand and lowered it between us. Looking down at it, I said, “You’re not wearing your engagement ring. Why? Have you changed your mind?”
“Is that what this is about? Look at me and tell me. Is that it?”
I let my gaze travel up to hers and shook my head. “No. I’m fucked up. That’s it. I don’t know why.”
“Well, fucked up or not, you have nothing to worry about. Remember you left me for months? I don’t want anyone else, so let poor Varo have his job and stop thinking I want anyone else on Earth because I don’t.”
“I have a surprise for you.”
Sighing, she asked, “A good one?”
“A good one. Sit down and close your eyes.” She did as I said and I grabbed the box I’d picked up earlier that day. Kneeling on one knee, I opened it and held it in my palm. “Okay. Open them.”
I saw in her eyes the surprise I’d hoped for. In my palm sat a robin’s egg blue Tiffany’s box with a new ring. It was meant as a new start, even though I’d nearly fucked it up with my jealousy just minutes earlier.
“Another ring? Why? I loved the first one,” she said as she lifted the box up to examine it. “It’s beautiful, Tristan. But why?”
“Maybe we had bad luck the last time. And the time before that. I want this time to go right, so I bought this ring hoping that maybe this can change our luck. Marry me.”
“Of course I’ll marry you. You didn’t have to buy me another ring, though. I’d marry you even without one.” Leaning down, she kissed me sweetly on the lips and whispered, “You do this proposal thing pretty well, Mr. Stone.”
I pressed my forehead to hers as a sense of relief flooded over me. “Third time’s a charm. Isn’t that what they say? Put it on.”
Holding her hand up, she wiggled her fingers to show me how perfect it looked on her and grinned broadly. “Is it me?”
“It’s all you.”
“What are we going to do with the other ring?”
“I don’t know. Donate it to a charity. Get it reset in a necklace. Save it for our kids.”
Nina stroked her fingertips over my shoulder and down my arm. “I like this proposal best. You’re already half naked and on your knees.”
“Mmm…is that a proposition from you?” I teased as my hands slowly made their way over her thighs. Making quick work of the button at the top of her jeans, I tugged them and her panties off her body in one pull, leaving her wide open for what I planned to do.
“I like the way you think,” she said with a moan as I slid my finger through the folds of her wet and ready pussy.
“Lean back,” I ordered. She whimpered a tiny noise at the first touch of my tongue to her clit. Sucking it gently, I eased my middle finger inside her tight cunt. Her body clung to me as I slowly added a second finger.
I stared up into her face and watched a look of pleasure settle into her features as I finger fucked her, loving the moans that flooded my ears as I inched her toward release. I wanted to make her forget my stupid mistake from before so all tonight would be in her mind was the night I showed her how much I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
“God, Tristan…don’t stop. That feels incredible. God, don’t stop!”
Arching her back, she angled her pussy toward my mouth and I obliged, running my tongue up to her swollen clit. She moaned my name, and I thrust my fingers into her hard as I flicked my tongue over her tender skin, wanting her to come apart under my mouth. Her cunt tightened around my fingers, and I quickly pulled out, replacing them with my tongue thrusting inside her.
“Yes…yes! Oh, God…yes!” she cried, pulling on the back of my head to hold me as she rode the tremors of her orgasm.
When she finally finished, her thighs quivered uncontrollably against my jaw. Turning my head, I placed a light kiss on her left leg, loving the feel of her soft skin against my lips and the knowledge that I’d made her tremble.
She lay there, eyes closed and biting her lip as she waited for me to get rid of my pants and rejoin her on the bed. I hovered over her and rolled my hips forward to slide the full length of my cock through her drenched pussy, loving how her eyes rolled back in her head when it skimmed her clit.
