Page 71 of Unforeseen Love

Sienna walks up and wraps her arms around me, leaning her face on my back.

I turn around until we’re facing and reach down to cup her arse and kiss her forehead.

“How’s your new book?”

She smiles up at me. “It's so good, which I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough.”

I don’t bother denying it because she’s right. Besides, it’s kind of fun finding new things to try in and out of the bedroom.

I wiggle my eyebrows. “I hope there’s some good smut in it.”

Swatting my shoulder, she tries not to laugh, but there’s a blush on her cheeks that gives her away.

“You’re impossible,” she chides.

Leaning down, I brush her lips with mine. “Yeah, but you love me.”

“That I do,” she says before I cover her mouth with mine, teasing her lower lip. She opens up to me, our tongues colliding in an erotic dance.

The timer on the oven goes off, and I let out a groan as I reluctantly end the kiss and start plating up our breakfast.

“What can I do?” she asks, looking past me, bouncing from one foot to the other.

I shake my head. “Nothing, the table is all set. You can grab the Bucks Fizz.”

As she walks past me to the fridge, I slap her arse, and she lets out a soft yelp.

Sienna carries the bottle with her to the table, and I hear her let out a soft gasp as I follow and place our plates down.

“It’s beautiful,” she says, her eyes flicking to mine and then back to the table. “Aww, you even made placeholders.” She picks it up and studies it before sitting down.

I see the exact moment she sees the small velvet box.

“Oh. My. God.” She covers her mouth with her hand as I get down on one knee beside her and reach for the box.

“Sienna Morgan, I never knew love could feel like this. I’ve seen how in love my aunt and uncle are and just thought they were the lucky ones, and then you came back into my life and flipped it upside down.”

Her eyes begin to brim with tears, and I take hold of her left hand in mine. I hope she can’t feel how nervous I am.

“There is no other person I could have done lockdown with, and you’re the only person in this universe I would want to spend the rest of my life with.”

I reach up and catch a tear as it escapes the corner of her eye. She sniffs and takes a deep breath.

“Sienna, will you marry me?”

Opening the box with a click, her eyes widen as she takes in the black onyx, oval diamond halo engagement ring.

“If you don’t like it, I can—”

I don’t finish my sentence as she pushes out of her chair and throws herself at me. I drop the box and barely manage to catch her as I fall back onto my arse as her lips crash against mine and she straddles my lap.

“Is that a yes?” Theo asks, laughing as he cups my face, pulling back to study my face.

I nod and realise my tears are free falling. I never thought I’d cry if I was proposed to, and yet, here I am. “Absolutely, I’ll marry your arse.”
