The server nods and leaves, and I turn to look at Liam.
“Are you crazy? It could be a five-thousand-dollar bottle of wine.”
“It’s worth it. We’re celebrating tonight.” Liam leans to press his lips on mine when the server arrives with a bottle and two glasses. We place our orders and watch the crowd of people flow in. Liam made a reservation. I’m positive he picked a table away from everyone. He scoots me closer to him and wraps his powerful arms around me. I carefully swirl the ruby colored liquid around my glass before taking an aroma-filled sip. The richness of the flavor spreads over my tongue like velvet, and I can tell this is an expensive bottle of wine.
His hands trail up the slit of my dress, sending warmth to my center. His hand moves higher and higher until it loops into my underwear. I gasp when one thick finger inserts into me, then another.
“Liam,” I moan. Clawing my nails into his collar and resting my head on his shoulder, my body shakes as he goes deeper and faster.
“I love to see you come undone with just the tip of my finger, baby. Come for me, Sophie. I want my fingers dripping with your cum.”
Holy guacamole, this man is going to give me a heart attack.
Thank goodness we’re sitting far away where no one can see. He hits the right spot, and I come undone. Fuck.
Liam pulls out his finger when the server arrives with our food. He licks and sucks his dripping finger, savoring it.
“A sample, my love, until we get home.”
Who is this man? He’s hot as fuck.
Liam orders spaghetti and meatballs, and I order fettuccine. The unexpected orgasm made me hungry.
“This is fantastic,” I moan into the creamy pasta. “How’s yours?”
He’s been a little quiet since the food arrived. I’m not sure if it’s because he feels uncomfortable—working in law enforcement does that to you. You always have to watch your back.
“It’s good, but the damn meatballs are huge.”
“Not as big as yours,” I blurt out.Jeez Sophie.
Liam throws his head back in a roar of laughter. Well, at least I made him laugh.
“Good to know, Sophie.” He wipes his mouth with the cloth. “I’ll take that as a compliment. I love that mi bella has no filter.” I grin and take a sip of my wine.
The server returns with a sample platter of desserts. My breath hitches when I see it. A black velvet box. Liam takes it and kneels.
“Today marks a year since I had my first kiss, and I’m glad I never gave it to anyone else. Asking you for one crazy thing ended up being the best thing in my life. I never thought I was capable of falling in love, but you made it seem so effortless to do so. You’re my soulmate, my other half, and I want to spend it with you for the rest of my life. I want to grow a family. I want it all with you by my side. Will you marry me, Sophie?”
Tears of joy run down my cheek. I wasn’t expecting it.
“Yes, Liam, I’ll marry you.”
He slips the beautiful ring on my finger.
His mouth crashes into mine, taking control of my lips with possessive thoroughness. The noise fades around us. It’s only us in our moment. The most unexpected things that occur are the most powerful ones. I never expected to fall in love so hard, so fast. I never expected to find my soulmate. I never expectedto be loved right.
We pull away, panting and desperate for more. “Let’s get out of here, baby. I need to fuck my fiancée.”
“I like the sound of that…fiancé.” Liam tosses cash on the table and grabs my hand.
“Me too, baby, but I’d like wife more.” Goosebumps spread throughout my body.Wife. Oh, how I like it.
We leave the restaurant in a frenzy. When we get to the house, and the door slams shut, Liam pins me to the wall, our bodies melting into one. Anxiously, I strip down from my dress, needing to feel the warmth of his body. Liam grinds his erection on me, bruising kisses from my lips to my neck. His hands roam in all the right places. Fireworks pop in the night sky behind the door.
He whispers, just as he hooks his finger in my pussy, “I’ve heard if you kiss a confident woman at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, it’s a sign of good luck.”
I smile, remembering how he said this to me a year ago. “Tell me, did it bring you good luck?”
