Page 76 of Losing Ansley

"That's one," I tell her. She grabs her purse and glances at me as I open the door.

"What number are you going for tonight?" She asks as I lock the house up. I bite my lip as I grab her hand and walk her to my car.

"Twenty-seven, of course." Her head snaps to mine, and I smirk at her as I open the car door for her. Instead of getting in the car, she wraps her arms around my neck, tipping her head up for a kiss. Like I could deny her. I lean down and kiss her soft and slow before pulling away.

"You know you're crazy, right?" She asks, and I smack her ass.

"Only for you, sweetheart." I remind her and kiss her hard.

BY THE TIMEwe arrive at the restaurant, I've given Ansley two more orgasms.

"I can already tell I'm not going to be able to walk by the end of the night." She mumbles as I wrap my hand around her waist and guide her to the back room I reserved.

"That's the plan, gorgeous," I reply, and she glances at me.

"I thought the birthday person was supposed to get spankings." She states, and I smirk.

"That can be arranged." She snorts as we walk into the room, and her friends bombard her.

"You have orgasm eyes," Caroline tells Ansley just as Dylan hugs her. Liv and Ansley burst out laughing at the expression on Dylan's face, and I give him an apologetic look. He walks over to me and bumps his shoulder into mine.

"You ready?" He asks. I share a smile with him.

"Yes. I said I would wait, but I don't think I can." He shakes his head and chuckles.

"I expected as much, so I went ahead and ordered some wine that should be here soon, and the servers know to bring in the champagne as soon as she says yes." I side-eye him.

"How do you know she's going to say yes?" He huffs.

"Because she's been telling you since she was six." We laugh together as I watch Ansley for a moment enjoying her friends. I didn't tell anyone else because I wanted this to be a surprise. When she makes her way back to me, I look at Dylan, giving him a slight nod. When she gets close enough, I pull her into my arms and kiss her. She wraps her arms around my neck and beams at me.

"This is great, Linc." She tilts her head at me, and I admire her for a moment. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her.

"Ans, I love you so much." I start, and her smile gets even more prominent.

"I can't think of a time when I haven't loved you in some way. You challenge me, excite me, and push me. I promised you that I'd marry you if you weren't married by the time you were twenty-six. I'm a year off, but I never break a promise." She gasps, and her eyes widen when I release her from my grasp and take a step back.

I grab the small box from my pocket and kneel down. Her hands come up to her mouth as she watches me. Caroline and Liv have noticed, and one of them says oh my god. Dylan gets everyone else's attention as he records with his phone.

"Ansley Marie Lawrence, will you marry me?" Ansley swipes furiously at the tears on her face and nods.

"Yes! A thousand times, yes!" I stand back up, and she jumps in my arms as I catch her and hold her tight. After a few seconds, I push her back slightly and put the engagement ring on her finger. She stares at it and then looks at me.

"It's beautiful, Lincoln." She gushes, and I have to kiss her again as I wrap my hands around her waist.

"Only the most beautiful ring for the most beautiful girl." She wraps her arms around my neck as I pull her in close. Her mouth goes to my ear.

"I need more than the panties." She whispers, causing my cock to harden.

"Fuck Ansley!" She chuckles, but before I can drag her somewhere to give her what she needs, Caroline and Liv come over to gush and offer their congratulations, along with Bailey and Bec. Dylan, Bass, Connor, and Julian are coming to congratulate me.

"Don't forget I get to be the ring bearer!" Dylan jokes, and Ansley claps her hand laughing.

The server comes in with some champagne, and the food I had preordered gets brought in, so we all sit down to begin eating.

Ansley moves her seat so she's leaning into me, and I wrap my arms around her shoulders. She glances down at her ring and plays with it.

"This was a total surprise." She tells me. I lean forward, putting my chin on her shoulder and kissing her neck.
