Tyler

I know she’s teasing but I can’t hold back the possessive growl and a soft swat to her ass. “Don’t tease a dying man, Princess. Which reminds me. There’s something for you in my front pocket.”
She rolls her eyes “Like I haven’t heard that one before.”
I narrow my eyes at her. “You better not be hearing it from anyone else. I’m serious. If I had any strength left I’d do it myself.”
Tentatively she reaches into the left and then the right pocket until she finds the ring box I slipped in there back at the house. “Tyler?”
I take it from her and open it up. “It was my grandmother’s. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to go out there today. I’ve had it in the bedroom safe. We can get something else if you don’t love it, and we might need to get it sized if you do… but… Sophie Dunlap, will you marry me?”
She leans down and kisses me lightly. “Yes, Tyler Carmichael I will marry you. And I love the ring.” She gently slips it on her left ring finger and I’m not surprised it’s a perfect fit. Now Sophie is spread out on my chest holding her left hand up where we can both admire it.
“Love you, Princess.”
“Love you too, Tyler.”
Epilogue
SOPHIE
Two months after we got engaged Tyler and I are planning our wedding from the upstairs balcony of our snug little house in the woods. He was only deployed on his last mission for a matter of days, in fact he never really got there. He was on the phone with me from his layover in the Dubai airport when he got the email that the whole thing had been canceled— seems the client had managed to work a compromise so his services were no longer needed. Or at least that’s as much as he was allowed to tell me. In any event he had to wait around for another day to get returning flights and then I was in his arms at the airport being swung around like a rom-com heroine. The very next day I went into the office and gave Dennis my notice. He huffed and puffed while I danced back to my desk wearing my favorite pair of jeans. What was he going to do? Fire me?
We’re both working out our long term career plans for what comes next. Tyler’s made no secret that making a baby is top of his agenda. And I know him well enough now to know that he’ll want to take care of that baby as much as I do when he or she arrives. For such a big tough guy he’s got an amazingly soft and gooey center.
Right this minute I’m wrapped up in my fluffy purple bathrobe sitting on Tyler’s lap while he’s stretched out in his favorite Adirondack chair. I’m trying not to spill the hot coffee I’m clutching between my palms while his hands are making exploratory forays under my robe.
He keeps trying to send me over to the railing so he can fuck me from behind but it’s too cold out to be bare-assed, no matter how much I love him. So he pouts and demands written IOUs from me before he takes me inside to fuck me in the warm bedroom instead. He’s collecting quite a bowl-full of those little slips of paper. Guess I know what we’ll be doing this summer!
