Rising to my feet, I settle back down on my seat, seeing how she is still breathing heavily as she tries to catch her breath. There is a glazed look in her eyes when she gazes at me, like she is trying to decide what to do.

“Did you like it?” I ask her, feeling a little boost of confidence.

Her cheeks flush red and I can tell that she is trying to think of what to say, “of course I liked it. Why wouldn’t I?”

It feels good to me that she is as much entranced by me as I am of her but I also know that we are going to have to be careful, “don’t worry, I can promise you that there is more where that came from. Now that I have had a taste of you, I’m never going to be able to let you go again.”

“I want you, too.” She admits huskily, and there’s a darkness in her eyes that makes me think that there is going to be a lot more that happens, “but I do know for that part, I want to wait until we are married. That is the proper thing to do.”

“I can agree with you there.” I tell her softly, “I don’t want to do anything that’ll piss your father off and I’m more than willing to wait for you. Especially when I know that you are everything to me and I don’t want to let you get away from me.”

I couldn’t be sure if everything was going to be alright but I did know that I wasn’t going to let anything stand in the way. When it comes to Rowena, she is the light at the end of the tunnel and I wouldn’t want to get rid of it.

Not when she makes me feel this way.

Not when she is all that I can think about.

But I know what I’m going to do soon enough, and she will be mine.

Chapter Ten

Rowena

I can’t believe that Oakley had made me feel so good, the pleasure having built inside of me in a way that I couldn’t hold back. I couldn’t be sure what was going to come from it but I did know that I was going to enjoy it.

Every feeling has pulsed inside of me that was ready to erupt at any moment but I couldn’t be sure what was going to happen. I didn’t even know if it was going to be alright but I was okay with that.

I just want to do whatever I please and hopefully, it is not going to end up blowing up in my face. At least I can say that I’m trying but I’m not sure what is going to happen. I’m ready for more but I could only do so much.

Liccking my bottom lip, I watch as Oakley is staring at me from where he is sitting, this heated look in his gaze that is enough to make me feel a little odd but I was quite certain about what I was longing for. I wasn’t sure where this was going to take us but I knew what I needed.

And that is him.

That is all that I can think about.

“So,” Oakley murmurs, leaning forward in his chair and watching me intently, “what do you think is going to happen, Rowena? Do you think that we are going to be the perfect match?”

“I’d like to think so.” I agree with him, hoping that it is going to be fine, “truthfully, I don’t know what is going to happen but I do know that I’m okay with it.”

Every part of me is on edge right now and it’s like I have never wanted something as much as I want him right now. This pleasure makes me think that I won’t be able to hold back, and when I have finally gotten a taste of it, I know that I can’t let go.

I don’t want to, not when everything is finally going the way that I had wished for it to.

I just keep trying to decide if this is going to be alright or if I’m going to have to do something else. I don’t know but I do know what I’m craving.

And this is it.

“I just want to be one with you.” I agree with him, nervously gnawing on my bottom lip, “I don’t know if it is going to be okay but I do know that it is going to be fine. I just know that I want to marry you.”

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, this intense feeling erupting inside of me that makes me ache more for it all. I’m almost certain that this is going to be everything that I can do but I couldn’t be sure about what I want.

But now I am certain that I’m not going to be able to let go. I don’t WANT to let go before it ends up being too late.

But now I’m more than just a little ready for more as I think that maybe loving Oakley is where I’m going to need this to go.

So Oakley rises to his feet, watching me with an intensity in his gaze that is enough to make me feel like I’m going to go crazy.When he reached into his pocket, I knew what was going to come next from it.

Dropping down onto one knee, he gazes up at me with those beautiful eyes, enough to make me feel like I'm going to go crazy. It is almost too much, like I’m going to end up falling harder for him than I would have ever imagined.
