“Grow old with you.”

He stops in front of me. “Marryyou.”

He drops to one knee in the middle of my living room.

My heart is singing, and my eyes are prickling. “Are you being serious right now?”

“Deadly serious. Today has only proven how quickly life can change, and I don’t want to waste another second.”

“Lev.” I place a hand on my chest.

“I know I don’t have a ring yet, but if you’ll let me, Elle Conti, I want to give you the world.”

I can’t fight the tears that start to fall.

Only a few hours ago, I had been so sure that we would never get our happily ever after. And now, seeing Lev down on one knee, promising to give me the world, I feel like my heart might explode from happiness.

“Of course, I’ll marry you.”

The smile that breaks out across Lev’s face as he climbs to his feet is breathtaking.

I’ve never seen him smile like that, and I hope that it will be the first of many to come.

He stands up, and one minute, my feet are firmly on the floor, and the next, they’re wrapped around Lev’s waist as he lifts me in the air.

“Lev!” I cling to his broad shoulders.

“You have no fucking idea how much you mean to me, Elle Conti,” he murmurs against my lips.

“I could say the same to you. You’re going to be the most amazing husband I could have ever hoped to have, and the most wonderful father to our child.”

Lev rests his forehead against mine and closes his eyes.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” I press my lips to his.

I barely notice that Lev is carrying me through to thebedroom. All I’m focused on is the feeling of his lips on mine. Of the taste of him as I slide my tongue into his mouth in a way that has him groaning against my lips.

For the second time today, we shed our clothes. But this time, there is no looming threat hanging over us, so Lev does the honors of removing each item of my clothing, kissing along my skin as he goes.

By the time I’m lying naked on the bed, I’m so hot and aching between my thighs that I have to reach down and start rubbing my clit to try and bring myself some relief.

Lev’s eyes darken with need as he watches me slide two fingers along my slick pussy.

“Elle,” he growls as he tosses his shirt on the ground.

I eye the hard lines of his chest and stomach until I land on the prominent outline of his cock that is straining against his zipper.

“Lev…” My pussy clenches, so desperate for him to fill me.

“So impatient.” He chuckles as he starts undoing his belt.

By the time he’s standing naked at the foot of my bed, I’m so close to the edge that I have to force myself to remove my hand from between my thighs to prevent from coming.

I want him to be the one to finish me off, but it seems Lev wants to take a moment to enjoy the view.

He wraps his fingers around his cock and starts stroking his length as he eyes my glistening pussy. “So fucking beautiful.”
