The Valentines Day Proposal

by Bella Winters

  I grabbed the towel from him and slipped on my flip flops, taking his hand and leading him outside. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else with Nathan. Well, maybe I could, but that wouldn’t get us out in the sun. It had been a really long time since that loneliness that I had been experiencing had lifted, but as we walked across the street, laughing and flirting, I felt completely alive. Nathan filled a hole in my heart that had been there since my parents passed away, something that had grown larger and larger as the years passed. When his mother died, I felt like there was no one else in the world that cared. Little did I know that everything in life would lead me back to the Landers and ultimately, to Nathan.

  We walked down the ramp and into the cool sand, looking around at the empty beach. There was no one around since it was the middle of the workday, and that was perfectly okay with me. I loved being on the beach all alone, relaxing to the sounds of the waves, and taking in the warm California air. One day, I hoped to own a home right on the water where I could sit on my porch every morning and drink my coffee and then meditate every night to the surging tides.

  Nathan took my hand, and we walked along the beach in silence, just happy to be close to one another. He gripped me tightly, making me feel secure and protected, and I looked down at the sand flying from my feet with every step. I leaned down and took off my sandals, throwing them and my towel up the beach. He looked down at me and smiled his charming smile, sending waves of butterflies fluttering through my chest. We walked up and back the small strip of beach, stopping at the rock wall protruding outward.

  I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes, letting the energy of the moment take over. Before I could open them, I felt Nathan’s lips press softly against mine, and he tapped me on the butt and laughed as he walked back over to our stuff. He spread out his towel as I picked up mine and sat down, leaning back and breathing deeply. It looked like that relaxation attempt was starting to actually work on him. I looked around the beach and decided that laying out wasn’t really what I was looking for. I smiled coyly at him as he looked at me suspiciously. I tossed my towel down next to him and turned toward the ocean, running full speed toward the waves. As the cold water hit my body, I gasped and laughed, feeling my whole body awaken from the cold. I trudged outward into the surf until it was up to my waist. I turned back and waved at Nathan who was laughing and walking toward me. The cold water ran all over my body, making me feel like there wasn’t a care in the world. In reality, in that moment, there really weren’t. I was on the beach with this amazing man, and I was swimming around in the most beautiful surf California had to offer.

  I turned back toward the horizon and spread my arms wide, letting the waves crash into me. I breathed the salty air deep into my lungs and decided that these cool waters were going to carry my cares and fears away. There was no more headache for me, and I would decide who I let into my life, and who I threw to the side, no matter how long they had been there. It was time for the pain to be over.

  Chapter Fifteen

  Nathan

  I couldn’t remember the last time I laid on the beach, not thinking about work, not stressing over meetings, and not trying to get ahead of the game for the next week. I closed my eyes and let the sun beat down on my face, feeling the rays of energy pushing through my skin and healing me from the inside out. There had been so many hard moments over the last several years, but right then, all I could think about was how lucky I was to be there with Ronni. She was like this crazy ray of light shining over me at every turn.

  I opened my eyes and looked up at her as she giggled, holding her towel. She smiled coyly at me, and I squinted my eyes, unsure of what she was going to do. She tossed her towel down next to me and ran toward the ocean and right into the waves. I laughed as she kept going until the water was up to her waist, and the waves pounded into her. I couldn’t help but follow after her, walking slowly toward the waves and smiling at how beautiful she looked with soaked hair and the water glistening off her tan skin. She reached her arms out as the waves washed over her, looking like a goddess in the water. As she turned around, my eyes shifted from her beautiful smile to her tits. Her bathing suit, after getting wet, allowed her nipples to show right through. I could feel my cock hardening in my shorts, so before she noticed, I ran forward in the waves, struggling through until I could get to her. She laughed, splashing water at me. I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close.

  “What are you doing?” She laughed.

  “Making sure none of the randy surfers out here get any ideas,” I said, glancing down at her breasts. She looked down and ran her palms over her breasts, winking at me and pulling away. Immediately, I could feel my hardon getting worse, and I dove into the wave, letting the cold water wash over my body. Normally in temperatures like these, that bad boy would have shrunk right up, but as I watched Ronni dive forward, her ass cheeks bouncing up and down, it got even stiffer, and I could feel the ties start to come undone.

  I swam after her, determined to have a little fun out here all alone in the ocean. I wanted to feel her smooth wet skin against my hand and play with her out in the open like this. She swam forward until her feet could barely touch the ocean floor. I followed after her, standing up and pulling her arms around my neck. She pulled up and pressed her lips hard against my mouth, and I could feel my heart begin to beat faster. I ran my hands down her sides and across to the top of her bikini bottoms. I pushed my hand inside and grasped onto her pussy, massaging it lightly.

  “Nathan,” she said with a grin, looking around the beach.

  “There’s no one here,” I cooed, pulling her against my rock-hard cock. “Even if there were, they can’t see what we’re doing.”

  Slowly I pushed back, bowing my hand and pushing a finger deep inside her. She breathed deeply, pulling her body closer to mine. I dropped down to my knees, letting the water come up to our necks and allowing her to reach me better. The waves pushed us up and down through the surf, creating a motion against her pussy that brought the moans escaping her throat. She held on to my shoulders and hooked her feet around my thighs, keeping her body still as I pulled it out of the top and pushed the fabric between her legs to the side. I reached under her, pulling her close and pushing two fingers inside, wiggling them back and forth and listening as she moaned in my ear. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders and laid her face down, the noises coming from her chest rolling with the waves of the ocean. I could feel her getting closer and closer to orgasm, and I was determined to make her come.

  “I want to fuck you,” she whispered breathlessly.

  “Not until you come for me,” I said.

  I could feel her hips start to grind against my hand, and I moved it up and down fast and hard. I looked around to make sure we were still alone, the arousal of having sex in public almost intoxicating. She reached down and grabbed my arm, moving it up and down faster and harder. Her eyes clenched shut as she roared with ecstasy.

  “Oh, God,” she screamed out, fucking my hand hard and fast. “I’m going to come.”

  “Yeah, baby, I want to feel it,” I said, wiggling my fingers as she bounced up and down.

  She moved fast, her hair splashing around her and her tits bouncing up and down in the water. She dug her fingers hard into my wrist as she shoved my hand upward and held it there, grinding her clit against my arm. Her muscles tensed, and she took in a deep breath as the orgasm erupted through her body. Her hips kept moving, as did my fingers inside of her, and she tossed her head back, moaning over and over again as her pussy tightened and released around my hand. I could feel the gush of warm liquid as her body twitched and writhed in ecstasy. For several moments, she held on tightly, still rubbing her clit against my arm. It was hard as a bullet, and with every stroke, her body shuddered from the feeling. Slowly, her muscles untensed, and she leaned in, grabbing my suit and pulling it open. She looked me straight in the face as she yanked my hard, bulging cock out in
the water.

  “Now fuck me,” she commanded.

  I grabbed her around the waist and slid both hands down to her ass, lifting her toward me and wrapping her legs around my waist. She grabbed my shaft and pushed it against her pussy, biting her lip as I pushed it through her juices. She pushed her hips forward, jamming my cock deeply inside of her as she bit down on my lip and smiled.

  Slowly, she moved her hips back and forward, letting my cock rub her from one end to the other. As she pulled herself back down the shaft, she moved her hips like a wave against my body, grabbing onto my shoulders and leaning back. I looked around at the empty beach before reaching up and pulling her top to the side so I could put her round, succulent breasts in my mouth.

  I flicked my tongue over her hard nipples as I massaged her tits with my hands. She continued to fuck me, slowly coming up, but then fast and deep, going back down. As she rubbed her pussy against me, I could see the ripples of pleasure shudder at her body. She took it slow and steady, obviously wanting this to last for more than a few minutes. The water around us no longer felt cold, and I could imagine steam bubbling from the surface around us.

  I moved my hands down her sides and lifted my body up slightly so I could lay her across the water in front of me. She leaned back, rubbing her breasts as I took control of her body. I kept her hips just slightly under the water as I pushed inside of her, feeling the water moving all around us. My hand slipped up to her clit and began to rub in circles. She grasped onto her breasts and growled as I looked down on her sexy body floating in front of me. I pulled her in and pushed her out, watching the waves move over us. I grabbed her wrists and brought her forward as the waves got larger. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders as I picked her up and moved inland just a tad. The entire time, her hips ground hard against me, and my cock shoved deep inside of her. I took her toward a shallower area and looked around, making sure no one had come to the beach, but it was still empty.

  I laid her down in the shallow surf and climbed over top of her, wrapping her legs around my waist and diving back in. She screamed out as we sunk into the sand. Our bodies rolled through the pounding surf. I thrust harder and harder, grunting as I pushed deep inside, filling her to the brim before pulling back out and doing it again. Her arms spread out, grabbing handfuls of sand as our bodies intertwined, and her legs wrapped tightly around me and her hips ground hard against me. I pounded her hard, hearing the sound of water and skin colliding in ecstasy.

  I pulled out and flipped her over on her stomach, spreading her legs and fucking her hard. She groaned as I pulled gently on her ponytail, looking back at me and licking her big luscious lips. Her pussy was so tight and so wet, and I felt like I couldn’t get enough of it. She pushed herself up on her elbows, lifting her ass high in the air and pushing her bottoms to the side. I grabbed her cheeks and began to ram into her, slapping her ass cheek lightly as I pushed. As my need increased, so did my frustration as we continued to sink down in the sand. I pulled out and lifted her to her feet, grabbing her by the hand and pulling her over to the blanket. I laid down and pulled her on top of me, smiling as she bit her lip and looked around. I could tell she found this as sexy as I did, but at the same time, she didn’t want to get caught. In all reality, we could have walked across the street to the house and gotten crazy in her bed, but it just couldn’t wait.

  She stepped over top of me and dropped to her knees, pulling her bottoms back to the side and sliding her pussy down my cock. She moved her hips like waves against me before leaning forward and slapping her body up and down, feeling my cock move in and out of her. She reached back and rubbed the base before sitting back up and leaning backward, holding herself up on my thighs. I reached up and moved the fabric of her bottoms off her clit and reached up to her mouth, sticking my fingers inside. She sucked on them, moaning, and watched as I moved them back down and massaged her clit.

  She pushed her top to the side, and her tits bounced up and down as she rode me hard, burying every inch of my shaft inside of her. I turned my hand and pressed my thumb against her nub, pushing it in circles. She began to moan in short, high-pitched tones, her nipples standing at attention, and her pussy getting wetter and wetter. I could feel the desire begin to take her over as she bounced up and stopped letting me thrust my hips upward and pound into her hard and fast. She screamed out in a wavering tone as our bodies collided. I could hear the orgasm growing closer, and at that point, I didn’t care if anyone saw us or not.

  I grabbed her waist and held her still, slamming into her pussy over and over again, gritting my teeth at my own impending orgasm. She leaned her head back, screaming loudly as the waves washed up onto the shore. I knew it wasn’t long before we both gave in and exploded in ecstasy.

  Chapter Sixteen

  Ronni

  I could feel every inch of him as he pushed deep inside of me, the tide washing higher and higher until the waves crashed over our feet. I grasped on to his shoulders as our bodies connected, and I could feel the orgasm release, sending pulses of pleasure through my body. I moaned loudly, feeling him thrust deep inside of me before pulling out and rubbing his hand fast and hard over his cock. I could feel his shaft against my ass as he released his load, the warm wetness squirting out and all over my legs.

  He growled loudly, still stroking his bulging red cock, and I rolled to the side, pulling my bathing suit back over my breasts and breathing heavily. The cold water crept up the shore and over my legs as I watched him let go of his erection and pull his bathing suit over the bulge. He swished his hands in the water around him breathing heavily with his eyes still shut. Pleasure was still vibrating through me, but I pulled myself to my feet and walked out into the waves, washing his come from my body. I turned back and looked at him as he opened his eyes and smiled big. I shook my head, laughing, and pulled myself back through the waves and onto the sand.

  Nathan stood up and grabbed our soaked towels and started ringing them out. He rescued my sandal as it attempted to rush off with the receding waves. I laughed watching him fumble about, his legs weak and his balance off-kilter. I walked over and pulled his suit closed, tugging on the laces and tying it shut. As soon as my hands pulled away, laughter sounded from the other side of the dunes as several people started making their way onto the beach. I looked at Nathan with wide eyes before bursting into nervous giggling at the thought that we almost got caught. We walked up the beach a bit and sat on the rocks, looking out over the ocean.

  “What will you do?” I asked.

  “Honestly,” he said, looking down at me. “I’m considering walking away from the whole thing. The business, my father, Nick, everything. I’ve made so much money already on my own that I could be set for life, and with my name and my skill, I know I could find another job with no problem. The people that really know me know what kind of worker I am.”

  Nathan paused for a moment looking out at the ocean. The birds squawked wildly above our heads as we sat gazing out at the boats on the horizon. I didn’t like that he was talking this way, but I knew this wasn’t my decision.

  “I’ve given years to this family, building the business back up after the recession,” he continued. “Honestly, if my father doesn’t realize that and he wants to throw it all away over this, then good riddance. I have sat too long in his shadow, picking him up after Mom died, to sit there and be kicked around like this. We all know who is behind this, and if he wants it that bad, he can have it.”

  On one hand, I understood why he was feeling the way he was, but on the other hand, I couldn’t see him just walk away from everything he had built. When his mother died, his father fell into a deep depression, and he let the company go to shit before finally offering to let Nathan run it. Nathan had walked into a sinking ship and turned it all around in record time. Nathan was so young, but his work was legendary in the business world, and we even studied it in our classes. It was really difficult to watch this man go through this. It wasn’t fair, and I couldn’t help but th
ink that I was the cause of all of it. I never wanted to come between Nathan and his father, nor did I see any of this coming. I couldn’t let myself be the reason Nathan gave up, and I knew if I wanted this to be fixed, I would have to do it myself.

  We sat on the rocks for a little while longer before I stood up and pulled on Nathan’s arm. I smiled at him and leaned in, kissing him passionately. We went back to the house and fell into each other’s arms, twisting our bodies around each other and making passionate love. Afterward, Nathan fell peacefully asleep, and I smiled at how relaxed he was as I quietly pulled on my clothes. I needed to do something about what was going on, and there was no way I could with Nathan knowing about it.

  I jumped in my car and headed over to the Landers’s estate, extremely nervous to face Mr. Landers again. I entered the house and walked straight back to his office, assuming he would be where he always was. I greeted the house staff in Spanish and smiled kindly at them, thinking about my own days in their shoes. As I rounded the corner to the office, I stopped dead in my tracks, staring at Nick. He stepped sideways in front of the closed office door and crossed his arms over his chest.

  “It’s my turn to be in charge,” he said sternly. “And I don’t need you messing that up for me.”

  I shook my head, seeing the selfishness flowing over him. He had really been the reason for all of this. His incessant need to be important, to rule the roost, caused him to become a hateful and disgusting person. I really wasn’t shocked by this at all. I had just hoped that after all these years, Nick would have grown into a better man. I guess I was wrong.
