Page 66 of Finish Line

“Wow.” Awe shines in her eyes, and she throws her arms around me, hugging me tight.

We head over to the blanket and picnic basket.

“This is amazing, Luke.” She beams.

From our spot, we have a view of the valley, the ocean below, and the backdrop of Diamond Head in the distance behind us. I take out the items in the picnic basket: different types of finger sandwiches, loaded macaroni salad, and fresh fruit. For dessert, they packed us a chocolate cake.

I’m having a hard time eating because Shelby moans every time she puts food in her mouth. She has no idea what she’s doing to me.

I sit and watch her as she takes a bite of cake, closing her eyes and humming before she looks around. A breeze ruffles her hair out around her.

This is the perfect time. When her head turns away, I wipe my sweaty palms on my shorts and reach into the basket. Pulling out the ring box, I keep it hidden in my hand. I hope she likes this.

I take a deep breath and let it out, which catches her attention.

Her eyes narrow in concern at whatever she sees cross my face.

“I can’t tell you how gorgeous you are right now because words don’t do you justice. And I wish we could stay here forever and never let the outside world in, but that isn’t impossible. And even though things could get rough for us again, I want you to understand that I will fight to stay with you, no matter what. Even under Roger’s hypnosis, I was still drawn to you. I didn’t understand why, but I was.”

I shift to one knee. I’ve never been so nervous in my life.

She gasps.

“We are nowhere near ready to be married, but you’re it for me, Shelby. Nobody else will be able to make me feel the way you do. I love you with all my heart and commit myself to you. Will you marry me someday?” I raise my hand and open the box to her.

Tears run down her face as she stares at me before her eyes drop to the ring inside. The ring is a band with a tiny heart. The longer she stares at it, the more nervous I become.

She takes her time to say, “I love it, Luke.”

The air whooshes out of my lungs, causing her to let out a watery giggle. “Yes, yes, I’ll marry you.”

I pull the ring out of the box as she holds out her left hand to me. Sliding the ring on her ring finger, I take a second to let it sink in that my ring is on her finger. Bending forward, I kiss her finger just below where the ring sits before looking up at her with the biggest smile.

As she jumps on me, I let out an oomph, and she knocks me on my ass. Straddling me, she gazes at me. “Is anyone around us?”

“No.” I shake my head, my hands landing on her hips before sliding around and down to cup her ass.

“Good!”

She rips off my shirt and pushes me down onto my back before taking off her shirt and unties her bikini top. Rising off me, she pushes down her shorts and bikini bottoms to stand before me naked.

If I wasn’t turned on before, I sure as hell am now.

She kneels next to me, taking off my board shorts and revealing that I’m sans underwear. Her leg slides over my waist to straddle me, and she rubs her wet pussy over my hard dick, eliciting a groan from me.

My heart skips a beat as she leans down, pressing her breasts against my chest as her lips take mine in a sizzling kiss. Her arousal and the smell of sweet flowers around us combine into an intoxicating scent that drives me nuts.

She breaks the kiss to gaze into my eyes. “I love you. And while I can’t commit to you alone, I can say that you and the guys are it for me. We still have a lot of growing to do, but there is no one else I would rather spend my life with than you four.”

I cup her face with my hands. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

I meet her lips halfway and when they touch, our passion explodes. Our tongues battle it out, our teeth clacking together. When I nip her lip, just shy of drawing blood, she breaks the kiss.

“I need you.” She gasps before she rises, then slides down my hard dick.

“Aww, Christ, you feel amazing.” I moan as I grip her hips, thrusting up into her hard.

She doesn’t go easy, riding up and down on my dick, and the thrill that someone could walk up the trail and catch us drives me crazy.
