"You know I like going in together." I lifted an eyebrow at her.
"I do too, but we'll never get out of here." She swatted my hands away as I reached for her.
"Fine, but make it quick." I walked into the male locker room and took my time ensuring that everything was as it should be. "Perfect."
I made it to the long hallway before she did, or so it seemed. I glanced behind me and had a sense of déjà vu roll over me. Our reunion a year ago had been very much like today. The make-up sex played in my head and my cock twitched in my slacks, forcing me to consider the options available to us for the hour we had.
I wanted to get my hands on her supple skin, even if that meant only giving her a massage. Anything to show her how I felt about her. I thought about the ring back at the penthouse and decided it was time. I would burst if I had to keep the ring a secret for too much longer.
I walked through the massage rooms, not seeing her, but unwilling to call out and break the serenity. A calm settled over me and I moved into the last room as she glanced over her shoulder. "Ah... Mr. Harrington. Clothes off and get on the table please. You can leave your underwear on if it makes you feel more comfortable."
My lips twitched into a smirk and I shook my head. “No. I'm not at all shy. My girlfriend would tell you that."
"That really sexy minx I've seen you with?" She picked up a jar of oil and let some drip onto her palm as a shiver ran through me.
"Yeah, she's the hottest thing in the world. Believe me... I've been everywhere and no one even compares." I pulled off my t-shirt and slipped out of my jeans and underwear before crawling up on the table. I stayed on my hands and knees as I glanced up at her. "You okay? Your breathing... it's sporadic and needy-sounding."
"I've missed you," she whispered, her game over for the moment. We hadn't seen each other for two weeks because of some business I had to take care of in California. My flight that morning had brought me back to her only moments before we were scheduled to be there. "Lay on your back."
I did as she told me to, stretching out and turning my head until I could lay eyes on her. "I missed you too, baby. Get up here and make love to me."
"Not yet." She moved to the bottom of the bed, sliding her hands over my feet and pressing in deeply.
I let out a groan and closed my eyes, enjoying every touch, every firm sensation as she moved across my body. She stopped as she reached the top of the bed.
"Thank you, baby." I reached up and touched the side of her face, wanting to tell her so many things and yet still unsure of her reaction. She'd learned to trust me over the last year and I knew that she was in love with me, but she needed space, or so I thought.
It had been such an incredible ride with her and there was no doubt in my mind that everything that was supposed to happen for us would in due time.
"You've been so patient with me," she whispered as she leaned down toward me. Her silky hair brushed over my chest and I groaned before leaning up and capturing her lips in a slow, deep and lingering kiss.
"I'll wait forever, Lila. I'm thrilled just being with you." I sat up and moved to stand in front of her, covered with aromatic oil, naked and unmoved by anything but her.
"You don't need to wait." She touched the side of my face and smiled as tears filled her eyes. "I'm ready. I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone. I want to start a family, to grow our businesses and to live my life tucked against your side. Would you have me?"
I was shocked into silence as my heart swelled in my chest. "What are you saying, baby?"
She pulled something from her pocket and held it up as a soft chuckle accompanied her tears. "I've been waiting for you to ask, but you haven't... so I figured I would."
I glanced down at the silver ring between her fingers and couldn't believe what was happening. Was she proposing to me? And here I’d been waiting to propose to her.
"Will you marry me?" She took a step toward me, and I pulled her in tightly as tears filled my own eyes. Over the last year I'd changed significantly, becoming more the man I’d always dreamt of being, a transition I owed all to her.
"Yes. I want you forever. "
I was the man she made me.
I was completely hers.
