Page 84 of The Billionaire's Secret Intentions

“What I’ve wanted to do for a while now.” He places a hand in his pocket and whips out a tiny red box. My head spins. Trisha’s squeals of delight fade. I’m vaguely aware of the sound of the camera flashing.

“Ian…”

Light bounces off the diamond in front of me.

“Will you marry me?”

Whoa.

“Yes.”

The word rolls easily off my tongue, and my vision blurs. I blink back the tears and laugh, extending my left hand. Ian’s face beams as he slides the ring on my finger. Laughter bubbles out of me. Rising from the floor, he holds me and plants a sweet lingering kiss on my lips. The camera flashes, and I’m suddenly surrounded by words of congratulations.

“I can’t believe it. We’re getting married,” I whisper, looking up at Ian. His eyes are aglow as he stares at me.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. You’re the woman for me – the only woman.” He presses his forehead against mine, peering into my eyes. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Oh, Ian. I love you so much.”

He grins, and warmth floods me. Just like him, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.

The End.
