I gulped when she softly pushed me down onto the couch. Her breasts were exposed when she leaned down to me, clasping both of my hands to hers.

  “Only from you…” With that, I pulled her down to me, kissing her as passionately as I could. Her mouth was soft and sweet, and her kisses felt so wonderful. I let my tongue made its way into her mouth, tasting her, savoring the flavor of her lustful desires. And yet, no matter how hard I draw her in, I couldn’t get enough of her.

  I pulled away from her and got up from the sofa, earning her protesting gaze. I smirked, seeing how impatient she has become. Quietly, I scooped her up and made my way to my room, my mouth lingering on hers. When we arrived in my room, we were both breathless. I laid her on my bed and watched her pant.

  She smiled. “What?” she asked with her eyes wide.

  “I can’t believe that sex goddess five years ago was you,” I said, beaming.

  She raised a brow.

  “In that case…” She stood up and pushed me by the edge of the bed. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck, looking at me sexily. There was longing and sincerity mixed with lust and seduction in her kisses. I deepened the kiss, responding with the same intensity.

  I grunted when she ran her fingers through my hair. And when her hand traveled up and down my back, I felt my cock twitch under my pants. Oh, holy mother of God. She is the real deal.

  Scarlet jumped into my arms, wrapping her legs around my body. She planted a kiss on the tip of my nose then on my lips. “Let me remind you.”

  I grinned. “It would be my pleasure to be reminded.”

  I pulled her body closer to mine and squeezed her ass. I took a step back and sat on the edge of the bed, unbuttoning her pajama top and latched onto the bare skin of her shoulder. She broke contact for a brief second, repositioning herself so that I was lying on the sheets and she was on top, still straddling me.

  She got rid of her clothing, my eyes feasting on her body. Then I felt a hand traveling down my legs as the other unbuttoned my shirt. She was damned fast, and it was so fucking arousing. My hands moved and unbuckled my belt, helping her free myself from my clothes.

  “Let me,” she whispered before going down. Expertly, she removed my belt and unzipped my pants with her teeth. When I was down only with my boxers left, she teased me again, kissing my cock.

  “God, Scarlet…” I groaned. I was hard as a rock, and I wanted to take her so badly, right here – right now. But at the same time, I was enjoying the fact that she was reliving all of these sexual fantasies we had for each other all these years.

  “You like that?” she murmured, finally pulling out my cock out. I watched her closely, and the expression of her face was that of a little girl who had been given candy. She licked the tip and then the entire length. And when she took me into her mouth, I held my breath. Her mouth alone could send me to oblivion.

  How was that even possible?

  “Jesus!” I howled when she started sucking my shaft in and out of her mouth, her head bobbing. My toes curled at the sensations that were driving me crazy. Then she slowed her pace, almost making me cum.

  I gritted my teeth impatiently and took her by surprise. I pulled her down, hugged her then rolled her over so that I was on top of her. She giggled.

  “I am reminded, big time. Thank you. Now, it’s my turn.”

  With that, I devoured her mouth and trailed tiny kissed to each and every part of her body, my hands spreading her thighs as I positioned myself between them. I caught her hands and intertwined them with mine as I watched her stare at me full of anticipation.

  “Scarlet?” I spoke, rubbing my cock against the sensitive skin of her entrance. She moaned in response, tilting her hips upwards to try and get me to enter her, but I continued teasing her as her wetness coated my cock.

  “Nick… please… I nee –”

  “Marry me.” I surged into her without warning.

  “What?” Scarlet looked at me in bewilderment as she panted breathlessly.

  Gathering all the self-control I have left, I pulled out excruciatingly slow, earning her complaining features before slamming into her again.

  “Marry me, Scarlet.” She thrashed her head on the bed, begging me to continue, but I rocked against her.

  “Nick…” She whispered again as I kissed her roughly, biting her bottom lip and groaning when her seeking tongue slipped into my mouth. Then I started pounding into her, hearing her scream in pleasure.

  I could tell that she was getting closer to her peak. I could feel her walls quivering and tightening around me. So, I halted and pulled out of her, my cock just inches from her dripping entrance.

  “Nick?!” she yelled, glaring at me.

  “I asked you a question.”

  She tried to break my hold on her hands, but I made sure my grip was tight.

  “Marry you?”

  “And I need an answer,” I spoke in between heavy breathing.

  “You know what I’m going to say,” she whispered, looking at me lovingly.

  Excitedly, I filled her in with one thrust, cursing how good it felt to have her around me.

  “But I want to hear it. I want you to say it loudly.” I moved in and out of her, rotating my hips as she tried to match my pace. Her orgasm was nearing, and so was mine.

  “Yes,” Scarlet whimpered.

  “I didn’t hear you.”

  “Yes! I’m going to marry you.”

  “That’s it, baby. I want everyone to know you are mine and forever will be.” I pounded faster and harder until we came together, her legs locking tighter around my back. I took her lips in a passionate kiss.

  I felt her stroking my back with one hand while the other played with my hair.

  “What about Jynzl?” she whispered softly into my ears. She screwed up her face. “Did I just say ‘yes’ to your proposal?”

  I kissed her shoulder and nodded.

  “Why?” I asked, feeling uneasy.

  “You two were engaged. What have I done? Oh, my God!” Guilt flashed in her face as she turned pale. She averted her gaze, pushing me away and grabbed a blanket to cover her body.

  Instinctively, I gathered her small figure in my arms and made her face me. There were tears in her eyes, and the pain was obvious on her face. Damn. I should make everything clear now, or I would hate myself for always making her cry.

  “There was nothing between Jynzl and me. She hasn’t crossed my mind since I met you. The news was just her method to gain attention in the showbiz industry. But my assistant had already cleared all rumors even before I went to search for you. I didn’t want you to misunderstand anything.” I kissed her softly. “There was no one else but you, Scarlet. Only you, baby.”

  Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she nodded as she squirmed against me. I kissed her hair and reached for the small drawer of my bedside table, taking the small velvet box I had been keeping for almost a month now.

  I got up from bed quietly.

  “Where are you going?” she called, hugging the blanket over her chest and got up.

  Smiling, I lowered myself to one knee, opening the box.

  “Wait! Wait! I’m a mess.”

  “Shut up and let me propose properly.” This was not what I had planned. I always thought about a romantic dinner and fireworks. But a naked proposal wasn’t bad, either. Quite unexpected, I guess.

  “Scarlet Davis,” I started. Tears were already swimming in her eyes. “I want you to marry me. You are the one that brought life to my dull life. You kept haunting my dreams. I didn’t know how it happened… Maybe it was when the first time our eyes met or maybe even back when we met five years ago. I love you, and that’s the truth. Not seeing you drives me crazy. I am never letting go of you, even if you kick and shoo me away again.”

  She giggled, still crying.

  “I want to spend the rest of my life with you… with Ethan and the rest of our football team. It is an honor for me to have you as the mother of my child. Will you allow me to be your husband?” I pulled out a princess cut diamond engagement ring form the box and smiled at her, my heart racing as a tear escaped my eye.

  “You’re so cheesy.” She lowered herself and pulled me in for a tight hug. “I love you, Nick. I always have… and always will.”

  Always.

  Always sounded good to me.

  “You are the most beautiful that happened to me. I love you so much,” I whispered back.

  Epilogue

  Scarlet

  The engagement party had just started, and I already felt like going to bed. I never thought that Nick would go to such extent as to announcing publicly about our engagement. The first time I met his parents, I was sweating, knowing that we would have to tell them about Ethan. But when his father learned about it and met our kid, everything else went smooth. Even my future mother-in-law still couldn’t believe that she already had a small version of her only son.

  I wanted a simple celebration with only our friends and family. But my father, on the other hand, agreed with Nick, saying he would want everything to be special. So I didn’t have the chance to complain when Alice started asking me about how I want the parties to be prepared. To be honest, I had fun. In such a short time, I couldn’t believe that everything I had pictured in my mind was right in front of me.

  Perfect.

  Tilting my head, I looked at Nick, who was talking with a member of the board of directors in his company. I couldn’t understand what they were talking about, but I enjoyed meeting and learning about the people in his circle.

  After all, I was going to be Mrs. Nick Miller in four months. The party was held in the front yard of the Millers’ mansion. A huge tent was set up that covered a great area of the spacious lawn. There were about a hundred tables and chairs arranged, and flowers were everywhere – pink and white in color, in different varieties. At the very center where the dance floor was allocated, a big chandelier shone brightly. Candelabra helped with the illumination, making the reception cozy and elegant. I specifically pointed out to the party coordinator that I wanted it to look like Fleur and Bill Weasley’s wedding in one of the Harry Potter movies with a little modern twist. And I got what I wanted.

  Our attention was caught by the person standing on the mini stage. It was Shawn, holding out his champagne class. There was a silly grin on his lips.

  “This is for Nick, who will, unfortunately, tie the knot soon…” Shawn started, making the crowd chuckle. “And Scarlet, who will regret picking him, and not me,” he sighed. He raised his glass, and the crowd followed. “Cheers! Hope you will be happy building one messy family!”

  “Cheers!” the crowd cooed. But even before everyone could take a sip from their glasses, Kelsey and Jayden stepped on to the stage. They shoved Shawn away from the stand mic.

  “We’re sorry about that, everybody. This person is just jealous because he hasn’t met his true love yet,” Kelsey spoke over the mic giggling.

  “Congratulations to Nick and Scarlet! Marriage is wonderfully complicated. But it is fun! You’re gonna love it!” Jayden said.

  “Cheers!” the crowed howled, looking at us with genuine smiles.

  When the music started playing, couples took the dance floor as Nick and I led the crowd. My eyes widened when the band played You Look So Good In Love by George Strait. Nick smiled as he placed both his hands on my waist.

  “You look lovely, Mrs. Miller,” he whispered.

  I shuddered. Hearing those words from his mouth made my insides flutter. I could feel thousands of butterflies going wild in my stomach. Raising my head, I met his gaze and smiled seductively, licking my lips slowly.

  “I know.” Today I felt like I was the prettiest and luckiest woman in the world. How could I not? I would be marrying Nick Miller! The very man I had admired for so long, the same person a lot of women cried over.

  I watched Nick’s throat as he swallowed, staring at my mouth like he has been yearning for a kiss for more than a decade.

  “Can I taste that, too?” He pressed my waist, slightly pulling me closer to him.

  “Nobody said you couldn’t,” I teased, rubbing my chest against his.

  In response, Nick leaned down and nibbled my earlobe, his breath touching my neck, almost making me regret initiating the exchange.

  “I’m saving it for later,” he whispered.

  “So, what’s the plan?” I asked excitedly with an eyebrow raised.

  “I’ll fuck you hard like it’s the end of the world.”

  I shivered at the thought. Every time, my reaction was the same, if not stronger than the previous time. Nick has always been a man of his words – in taking responsibilities and in bed.

  Well, especially in bed.

  “Oh, come on, dear husband. Are you chickening out?”

  Nick blushed. I didn’t have to guess why. He obviously liked me calling him my husband.

  “If you can’t wait, I wouldn’t mind doing it here,” he murmured, grinning, pulling me closer to him so that my belly touched his crotch. My eyes widened. He was already hard as a rock. I pushed him slightly and looked around us.

  “You’re crazy,” I blurted in disbelief when his hand started traveling up my arms, his fingers doing his little dirty work, slipping in the neckline of my dress, caressing my cleavage.

  I held my breath, biting my lip.

  Slowly, he lifted my dress slightly, smoothly letting his hand trail between my legs. I moaned when his touch landed on my sensitive spot. I was wearing a thong, making it easy for him to touch my already wet pussy. Alarmed, I looked around and found an inexcusable relief.

  Just what the hell was Nick thinking?

  “Like this…” he whispered huskily, his fingers flicked my swollen clit.

  Oh, dear God! What we were doing in public at our engagement party was so wrong. Why did it feel so fucking good?

  I closed my eyes in pleasure, slowly rocking my body to feel more of his touch between my legs. But to my remorse, Nick removed his hand out of my dress like he did nothing wrong.

  I snapped my eyes open and shot him a deadly glare. But when the music changed, he pulled me closer again, and I leaned my head against his chest. I felt him kiss my hair, one of his favorite things to do, then release a deep breath.

  “God, Scarlet…” He kissed my forehead. “I love you so much.”

  “I know.” I squirmed in his embrace. I could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart as we stayed like that in silence for a couple of minutes.

  “About your football team…” I murmured when the band played another slow song, our bodies slowly swaying with the music. “I think that’s too hard of a task to fulfill.”

  Nick chuckled. “Don’t tell me you took that seriously?”

  I frowned. “You were so excited talking about with Ethan. How could I not take it seriously? I just want to make you happy.”

  He shook his head and cradled my chin with his thumb. “No, I will make you happy.”

  “When I’m pregnant, we can’t play in bed,” I said, stroking his back. I was trying my best not to let my voice shake, but it did. “I will have mood swings. I will get fat. I will be ugly. You might not want to look at me anymore.”

  The idea almost made me choke into tears. But I just wanted to hear directly from him that it didn’t matter – that he would love me no matter what happened.

  “What are you saying? Of course, I will be there for you. That is why I’m marrying you. I don’t care even if you get bigger than the house. I’ll just buy you a new one. I will still love you. You are the mother of my child, and our future children. I will love only you, Scarlet.”

  My eyes watered. Damn it. Why was I so emotional?

  “Promise?”

  Instead of saying a word, Nick sealed my lips with a kiss. “I promise.”

  “Then make sure you make me happy in bed until I can’t anymore.”

  “What are you talking about?” Nick frowned alarmingly. He pushed me a little, both his hands on my shoulder.

  “I mean, while you still can,” I corrected myself, wincing at the pain coming from his tightening grip. “That kinda hurts.”

  “I-I’m sorry. But I do not understand what you’re talking about.” He removed his hands from me and pulled me for a hug so tightly, making me unable to breathe. His voice shivered as if someone was going to take me away from him.

  I laughed. “Relax. Will you?”

  “How could I relax? You’re spouting nonsense.”

  “What I meant is that your football team only needs nine more people,” I muttered, pushing him. I stroked his face, wiping away the tear that formed in the corners of his eyes.

  Nick froze. He stopped dancing as his eyes widened while staring at me in confusion then surprise. When the information finally sunk in, he scooped me in his arms.

  “Oh, my God! Thank you! I am so happy! I love you!” He exclaimed joyfully, not minding the stares of the guests that were gathered around us. Nick put me back on the ground carefully and watched me with adoration before searing my lips with a long deep kiss. I could hear the crowd clapping. And I smiled when I felt teardrops touching my face.

  “I love you so much, Nick.”

  I wasn’t crying.

  They were Nick’s tears of joy.
