“I had a special day planned for today. A huge surprise, but I moved ahead. What do you want to do?” He leaned over and kissed my cheek as the driver left the TAFE grounds.

I couldn’t stop staring at my left hand with the large ring on it. I hadn’t even told my brother about Derick and I. We’d also been holding off his larger family too. I hoped I hadn’t jumped into something too quickly. All I felt right now was happiness. I was going to bask in it.

Derick gently caressed my cheek before his fingers tilted my chin up so I looked at him. My heart skipped a beat, and I didn’t care about anything else. I was being selfish. I loved this man. He gave me so many things that I wanted—no, needed—and more. I felt looked after, safe, secure, and most of all, loved. I prayed for the first time I could remember that it was enough when the other shoe dropped, because I just knew I wasn’t this lucky. I needed to stay positive though, and my luck had changed.

“I’m happy as long as I’m with you.” It was true. I enjoyed the time I spent with Derick. “Hope is in daycare for another couple of hours before she needs to be picked up.”

“Mum and Dad are picking her up and taking her to my aunt’s, and then they’re going to watch a new Disney movie. So they won’t be back until late. They may even have a cousin sleepover.” Derick wiggled his brows at me, and I giggled. He trailed his fingers up and down my arm. I inched as close to him as the seatbelt would let me.

“I know what I want to do.” Gathering some of my newfound courage, I trailed my finger up and down his chest. He had just proposed, so surely, he’d want to make love to me. I’d never had that, and I wanted to experience it. I wanted passion. The goodbutterflies and feelings of bliss. “I want to make love. I want to go all the way with you today. I love you. I want you. I’m ready.”

I heard the unclick of the seatbelt just before his mouth took mine. I melted against him, eager for more amazing memories.

Derick

I’d been goingto surprise Ruby and pick her up from TAFE. I had planned a romantic evening where I was going to propose. To start off, I was taking her to a spa treatment, and the spoiling didn’t stop there. Next, she had her hair appointment booked into Divinity’s salon where she would also get her nails and makeup done. Lastly, she was going to an exclusive clothing boutique to choose whatever gown she wanted to wear out to dinner and dancing.

That plan had gone out the window when I saw her fall to the ground and the terrified look on her face. I had jumped the gun, so to speak, and proposed at TAFE in front of all her friends. I was damn happy she said yes and was a little surprised. Truthfully, I didn’t think she’d say yes, let alone be so open with me in front of her friends. Ruby surprised me and never did what I thought she would do.

Now we sat in the car, and she’d just blown me away by telling me she wanted me to make love to her. Holy fuck. I’d never made love to anybody. I wasn’t a virgin. I was far from the playboy my twin brother had been before he met Jade, but being a Silverman, I could pretty much have any woman. Most of the time, they threw themselves at me. I was fourteen when I lost my virginity to an older woman, but it had been sex, which was all I’d ever had, but I’d been dreaming of making love with Ruby.My dick was rock solid, but I wanted our first time to be for love and not just sex. I wanted her more than my next breath, and I wanted to start it now.

“Can I take you to my place—well, it was the place I lived before I moved in with Mum and Dad—to be close to you?” I asked.

We could easily go back to my parents’ house, it wasn’t far either, but I wanted alone time. I wanted a place of our own just for the two of us. I’d replaced the mattress the day after I’d met Ruby. I loved Hope, but she had been sleeping in our bed the last couple of nights, and I wanted us not to worry about being interrupted. My parents knew what I had planned and were happy to take Hope, but I knew if we went back to the house, Ruby would want to see Hope. I wanted to spend a night alone with just the two of us.

“What! How did I not know you had another place?” She nudged my shoulder.

Shrugging, I kissed her forehead. “It doesn’t matter, because I’d never live anywhere without you.” I cupped her cheeks. “You and Hope are my family. Where you and Hope are is where I will live, so my old place doesn’t matter.” I let my hands drop and rest on her hips. The car had stopped. “I kept it hoping we could use it for some alone time.”

Her eyes grew wide, and her lips turned up into a smirk. “I want alone time with you.”

The door opened, and I stepped out into the apartment garage. Holding my hand out, Ruby took it and looked around as her feet hit the concrete ground. I guided her to the private lift. Two guards entered and then the door closed, but my focus was on Ruby.

I gathered her into my embrace. “You’re so fucking perfect. I love you so damn much.”

I took her mouth to mine as the lift went straight to the top floors. Mouths still fused as our hands roamed, I lifted her and her legs came around my waist. She clung to me like she didn’t want to let me go, and it added to the high I was feeling. My woman said yes to marrying me and was ready for me to claim her in the way I’d been eager to since I’d first seen her. I couldn’t wait to sink into her heat and fill her with my cum. I wanted her to know who she belonged to. I wanted her to feel the crazy need I felt for her.

Grateful for my security, opening what needed to, and having a floor I shared with a cousin and the only ones with access to this lift, I wasn’t worried about anyone else seeing what we were doing.

Going straight to the main bedroom, I was happy that I still had cleaners maintain the apartment. I gently placed Ruby down in the middle of the bed. I stepped back and stared at her as I hovered over her. She was so sexy, with full, kiss-swollen lips, shiny and wet from our make out session. Her chest heaved, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were gold, portraying her desire.

“You’re so beautiful. So sexy. I love you so God damn much.” I leaned over and undid her shoes and slipped them off her, throwing them onto the floor.

She wiggled and tried reaching for me, but I had been imagining this for weeks now, and I intended to play out as many fantasies as she’d let me. She lifted her arse, and I curled my fingers into the waistband of her shorts, pulling them down and off onto the floor. Her panties were a black and green lace, and I was eager to see if her bra matched. Her fingers yanked on my shirt, and I helped her pull it off me, and it was flung too.

Leaning down, I kissed my way up her stomach as I undid the buttons on her blouse. I eased back to see the full image of my beautiful woman. She wore a matching lacy bra set, and shelooked better than I even imagined. Her breasts were spilling out of the bra, and they looked so much bigger. Ruby’s hair had fallen out of the ponytail she’d had it in and was in a sexy, messy halo around her. Bright gold, lust-filled eyes stared at me, as her full lips parted in an inviting smile. A healthy, pink glow showed on her cheeks. Ruby was gorgeous, with full, round, perky breasts, skin that was silky smooth and right now flushed with her need. There was no evidence that she’d had a child. Her stomach was flat, and there were no stretch marks on it.

I loved touching her. Her skin felt so good, it was so soft. Trailing my fingers over her exposed skin, I committed every inch of her to memory. “You are so beautiful, Ruby. I’m a very lucky man.”

She shook her head, her smile slipping, and then sighed. “I am the lucky one.” She huffed. “I’m also very eager to see all of you and touch.” She eased up on an elbow and reached for me, trying to pull me closer. But I intended to kiss every part of her before I took her mouth to mine again.

Shaking my head, I slid down on the bed. “I’m going to kiss every part of you.”

I took one foot and started kissing from her dainty toes up her calves and thighs, then I repeated this with the other. The higher my kisses got, the more she wiggled and moaned. I was taking my time. We had all day. I wasn’t rushing this.

Ruby

Closing my eyes,I concentrated on the sensations spreading through me, building a need I had only been able to give to myself before I met Derick. His hands left trails of tinglingdelight, warming me and building a fire within me. He made me feel amazing. I’d never felt sexy before, but Derick had my libido skyrocketing.
