Sizzling Nights with Dr. Off-Limits
Page 18
Smiling, he nodded. “I was going to take you up in the Statue of Liberty, get down on my knee and ask you to be my lady forever.”
“I’m not sure if that’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard or the corniest.”
“I did have a plan B if that didn’t work.”
“What was that?”
“I was going to whisk you off to Paris and ask you at the Eiffel Tower. If that didn’t work, I’d come up with a plan C.”
“Seriously?”
He nodded.
“So, really there’s no incentive for me to agree.”
“Only that you’d get to put this back on my finger.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden band.
Emily’s breath caught. “You really want to get married again?”
“I do, and this time I want to do it right.”
“Right?”
“I want you to walk down an aisle to me with our parents and friends there. I want to take you on a honeymoon to wherever you want to go—”
“Even if I said Atlantic City?”
His eyes glimmering, he nodded. “Even if you said Atlantic City.”
“I don’t need fancy weddings or fancy trips, Lucas.”
His smile told her all she needed to know. He lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed her fingertips.
“Just fancy orgasms?”
“That and a fancy pediatric neurosurgeon husband. I’ll be the envy of all my coworkers. They think he’s pretty awesome. I agree.”
“You’ll marry me?”
She took his wedding band out of his hand and clasped it tightly in hers, lifting it to her heart. Rather than answering him, she rose from the sofa, went to her bedroom and returned with something she held out to him.
His eyes glassy, he looked at what she held, then met her gaze as he took the rings into his hand and closed his fingers around them.
“We’ve wasted five years being apart. I don’t want to wait a minute longer.”
“I can’t believe we’re even thinking this,” she mused.
“I can’t believe we ever let each other go.”
“Never again.”
“Never again,” he repeated, taking her hand into his and kissing her fingertips. “I know there will be ups and downs. There are in every relationship, but I’ll fight for you, for us, until my dying breath, Emily.”
As she stared into his eyes, all Emily’s old hurts melted away and happiness took their place.
Happiness that she knew was going to last ever after this second time around.
