Page 36 of The Billionaire's Proposal

“Good because this is non-refundable.”

“I bet I could get a pretty penny if I pawned it,” I tease as I stare at the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen.

His knuckle gently turns my head to look into his eyes and in them, I see a love I never thought I would know until this man came into my life.

“I love you, Cameron.”

“I love you.” Our lips overlap, and our foreheads meet. “It’s gorgeous. Why a yellow diamond?”

He slides it onto my finger. “It’s the closest color to your eyes. Even when you’re asleep, it will remind me of your eyes. How vibrant and full of life you are.”

“In a state full of boat excursions, I’m glad you stepped on mine, and that you were an ass. If you were nice and followed directions, I may have never seen you again.”

We rise, and I thread my fingers through his hair.

“And I would have been miserable for the rest of my life.”

After making sure his employees are clear that they can tell no one, the employees offer their congratulations, and we drink the champagne once we dock.

Orlando pulls Winslow into a tight embrace, slaps his back, and says, “Take care of her. She’s the only mom I’ve ever known.”

I was only eighteen years old when I became Orlando’s Big Sister in a program for orphaned children. Orlando was ten, and ten years have passed. He has an apartment, a car, and our love for the ocean will keep us together.

“You’re important to her, which means you’re important to me. You’ll still be by her side every day.” Winslow glances at me. “You don’t have to work anymore, but I assume you want to.”

I drape myself over him. “Yes, but Orlando needs to get his captain’s license so he can still make money while we’re on our honeymoon.”

Orlando grabs me from Winslow’s grasp and squeezes me until I think I may pop. Kissing Orlando’s cheek, I look into his eyes. “I love you, O. I’m not the only one getting a family… you are too.”

“Thanks, Cam. I’ll leave you all to… celebrate.” He grabs his backpack, leaving us alone.

“It’s important to me to tell my family that I’ve found the person who makes me happy before anyone else finds out.” He presses a firm kiss to my lips.

“Can we call them now?”

Winslow calls his parents, siblings, and best friends and organizes a dinner tomorrow night. Then he calls Margie, and she says, “Hot damn. So proud of you, Winslow. Sometimes, it’s hard to make the leap, and you did it.”

I can’t help but think the only person I’m close to is Orlando. That I’m finally going to have a family, and I have a feeling Margie will play a key role in our life.

When it’s just us, we go underneath to the cabin for a naked celebration.

“I can’t believe I get to sink inside you every day for the rest of my life.”

With mischief in my eyes and on my brain, I say, “Promise me.”

“Promise.”

“No, promise me there will always be foreplay.”

“What if I want to fuck you against my office window, but we only have ten minutes before a meeting.”

“In that instance, I’ll forego the foreplay.”

He leads me to the small bedroom on the boat and undresses me slowly, laying me back on the mattress. His knees spread my legs apart before he licks through my slick folds, sucking my nerves. Then Winslow asks me to play with my clit so he can watch my ring shine while he brings me to orgasm. And for the first time, we make love while saying I love you over and over.

“Cameron.” His mom’s bright blue eyes are filled with joy. She doesn’t seem to think I’m a gold digger. I imagine she knows I turned down the million and then weeks later, I lost the ten million. “It’s a pleasure to meet you in person.”

“It all happened so fast. I’m sure you’re skeptical.”
