When we break apart, both breathless, I take a moment to just look at her.Her cheeks are flushed, her lips swollen from our kiss.She's so beautiful it almost hurts.

"I love you," I murmur, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face.

Clodagh's eyes soften."I love you too, Emmanuel.So much,” she says thickly.“I need you,” she groans as she pushes me down onto the bed and straddles me.

The feel of her pussy against me is almost enough to make me lose my head.Fuck, I need her.I press my lips against hers as I free my thickening cock from my pants.Our kiss deepens, becoming frenzied.The moment I manage to get my cock freed, I’m pushing aside her panties and plunging deep into her pussy.

God, there’s nothing better than being inside of her.Not a fucking thing better than having her pussy fit my cock like a glove.

She begins to move, and my hands roam over her body.I’ll never get enough of her.She’s perfect for me.She rises off my cock before slamming back down, grinding as I bottom out inside of her.

I groan when she grinds again.Her cheeks are flushed, her head thrown back, her hands on my shoulders as she gives into the pleasure and rides me.Her body moves over my cock like a sensual siren.Her lips part as she moans low in her throat.

Yeah, I’ll never get enough of her.She’s been mine since she was too young to be.I’ll cherish her for the rest of my life.I can’t wait to fucking marry her.

“Fuck, beautiful,” I grunt as she slams down onto my cock.

“Yes,” she hisses as she continues to move.“Oh, Emmanuel,” she whimpers.“I’m so close.”

I slide my hands down to her hips and hold on tight as I thrust up into her, helping her reach the heights she so desperately seeks.

“Yes,” she cries out, not once stopping as she fucks me as hard as I’m fucking her.“So close.”

I grit my teeth and hammer into her, my strokes heavy and painful, my cock about ready to burst, but never without her.

“Emmanuel,” she cries as her body tightens, her eyes close, and she detonates, her pussy walls contracting around my thick cock.Her head lulls forward and she rests it on my shoulder.

I thrust into her again, and again, and again.My spine tingles and my balls tighten.There’s no holding back.I thrust deep inside of her and spill my cum into her pussy.“Christ, Clo,” I grunt.

She lifts her head and smiles at me.“I love you so much.”

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of hearing those words come from her.“I love you too, baby.”I slide my hand into the pocket of my pants and pull out the box that’s been nestled there for months.“Marry me,” I say thickly.

Clodagh's eyes widen in shock as she stares at the ring box in my hand.For a moment, she's completely still, her mouth slightly open.Then, slowly, a smile spreads across her face, her eyes filling with tears.

"Emmanuel," she whispers, her voice thick with emotion."Are you serious?"

I nod, my heart pounding."I've never been more serious about anything in my life, Clodagh.I love you.I want to spend the rest of my life with you.Will you marry me?"

She lets out a sound that's half laugh, half sob."Yes," she says, nodding vigorously."Yes, of course I'll marry you!"

Relief and joy wash over me as I slip the ring onto her finger.It's a perfect fit, just like us.Clodagh stares at it for a moment before throwing her arms around me, peppering my face with kisses.

"I can't believe this," she says, pulling back to look at me."I mean, I hoped, but...God, Emmanuel.I love you so much."

I cup her face in my hands, kissing her deeply."I love you too, baby.More than anything."

Fuck yes.This is everything I want.She’s all that I want, and soon she’ll be my wife.God, I really am a lucky bastard.

I’m brimmingwith excitement and nervousness.Today is my last day of exams before the Christmas break.Once they’re finished, I’ll be heading home; packing a bag and driving to Dublin.I’m so excited that I’ll be spending Christmas with Emmanuel, Tammy, and Lisa.Which means it’s time to tell Lisa about Emmanuel and I.

As I leave the exam hall, I can't help but glance down at the engagement ring sparkling on my finger.A smile spreads across my face as I think about Emmanuel and our future together.But first, I have to face Lisa and tell her the truth about us.

I know she’ll be upset and hurt, but I know I did the right thing.I needed to give Emmanuel and me the time to focus on our relationship, just as she needed with Maverick.I’m so happy for my girl.She’s in love and happy.Not only that, but she too is engaged.She called me not long after he proposed.The guilt I felt when she told me hit me hard.She’s been so open and honest with me about her and Maverick’s relationship and yet I’ve hidden mine for the longest time.
