She shrugged and said, “I think I was kicked out of Margo’s place today, I guess I started putting lumps in her couch. I found a place downtown that I’m thinking about renting…” Jake put his fingers against her lips to stop her from talking.

  “Don’t even think about it. You’re coming home with me. You won’t be leaving my sight unless absolutely necessary.”

  Lexi was hoping he was going to say that. “My bags are packed, lead the way handsome.

  Jake made her close her eyes all the way to his house. He wanted his residence to be a surprise. He couldn’t believe his life was fully complete now. He had his girl and there was no way in hell he was going to lose her now.

  He parked in the driveway and cut the engine of his new Land Rover. He couldn’t help himself, he loved his Jeep but he wanted a little upgrade. Lexi seemed to like it a lot because when she slipped into the passenger seat she gave him a look that was full of lust. Yes, his night got ten times better.

  When he pulled into the driveway, he put the car in park, ran around to the passenger side and opened the door for her. “Keep your eyes closed.”

  “Jake, I don’t understand why this is such a big deal.”

  He didn’t answer her but instead pulled her in front of the house. He stood behind her and held onto her shoulders. He leaned down so his lips were pressed against her ear making her shiver. “Ok baby. Open those beautiful baby blues of yours.”

  Jake knew the moment she opened her eyes because he heard her gasp as her hands went directly to her mouth. She spun around in his arms and looked at him in shock. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She shook her head and then kissed him, gently.

  “Jake, you bought the beach house.”

  He gripped her hand and brought her into the house that now felt like home since she was with him. “Yes, I did. It held too many amazing memories not to have it in my life, just like you.”

  She just kept shaking her head in astonishment. “I can’t believe you bought it.” She walked out to the sliding glass doors that spanned the whole back wall and opened them up. The sea breeze filled the air and all the memories they had together over their winter break flowed through his mind all over again.

  He slid up next to her and wrapped his arms around her. They both looked out at the ocean and soaked up the atmosphere that once was their winter haven but now will forever be their home.

  “This is so amazing.” He kissed her temple and twirled her around in his arms so she was facing him.

  “You’re amazing. The most amazing person I’ve ever met.” He kissed her on her nose and smiled brightly at her. “I love you so much Lexi and want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you, making more memories in this house. You’re moving in with me, right?”

  Her bright smile eclipsed his heart. “I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. This is seriously, the most romantic thing ever.” She playfully swatted his shoulder. “You’re scoring major points, big guy.”

  Laughing, Jake placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I just want to make you happy.”

  “You do, every damn day of my life.” She kissed him again and whispered in his ear. “I love you so much, Jake.”

  “Music to my ears, babe.”

  In that moment, Jake didn’t think he could be any happier. He had the life he always wanted, a successful career and the girl of his dreams. He was waiting for someone to pinch him because he wasn’t sure if it was all real.

  Lexi led him into the house, pulled off her blouse and threw it on the floor. Yes, he was the luckiest man in the world. Life didn’t get better than this.

  She wiggled her little finger at him and said, “I have a couple of months to make up to you for treating you so terribly and I have a couple of ways on how to do so in mind. Follow me big guy.” She sauntered off to the bedroom and Jake quickly followed her while pulling each article of clothing off his body as he trailed after her. He was so damn lucky.

  Epilogue

  He was engaged. He couldn’t believe he actually did it. He pulled the trigger and finally gave himself over to one woman, the woman of his dreams. Mason looked up at Brooke as she straddled his lap and worked him up and down. She was gorgeous with her brown locks flowing over her shoulders, greens eyes piercing his soul and slight body that starred in his sexual fantasies. She pretty much rocked his world.

  Never did he think he would be ready for marriage but after she worked with him all through the summer after graduation, gave him massages and helped him reach his dreams of becoming a starting wide receiver for the Denver Stallions, he knew it was time to make her his…for life.

  Asking Brooke’s dad for permission to marry his daughter was beyond nerve racking but the rich fucker didn’t seem to mind too much that Mason wanted to whisk his daughter away. The man was a massive prick but also could give two fucks about what really went on with his daughter, as long as she was happy and supported.

  Mason was now making a decent paycheck so he was able to get them an amazing apartment looking over the Denver skyline and it was close to the stadium which was convenient for Mason. He was starting a new life and he just made sure Brooke was a part of it by asking her to marry him.

  She continued to gyrate her hips up and down, driving him crazy. Sex had always been amazing with Brooke. She was conservative on the outside, thanks to her rich upbringing, but she was crazy in bed. She did shit to Mason that he didn’t think women ever wanted to do which was another reason to tie her down. She loved to please her man.

  “Fuck, babe. That feels good.”

  “I’m going to fucking come, Mase.”

  She was also very expressive in bed which Mason appreciated. He liked to know he was doing a good job, well…she was doing all the work at the current moment but still, it was his dick that was applying the pressure.

  Brooke gripped his chest, dug her fingernails into his skin and threw her head back in ecstasy. Her inner walls contracted around Mason’s cock as she continued to slam down on him. His balls tightened from the sensation pouring through him and he finally found his release. He felt every last drop he had to offer explode into Brooke’s center. She was on birth control so using a condom never crossed his mind and he was grateful for it because he couldn’t get over the feeling of being wrapped up without any barrier in her sweet, moist center. It was amazing.

  “You are so damn good.” Brooke said as she rested her head on his chest. “Plus, you’re damn fine.”

  “Thanks, babe. I would also like to say that I’m an attached man.” He kissed her ring finger to remind her of their impending nuptials. “When do you want to get married?”

  She didn’t respond right away so he thought that she might have drifted off to sleep until she lifted her head and stared down at him.

  “I don’t know. We’re in no hurry.”

  What woman wasn’t in a hurry to get married? Now that he thought about it, he would have thought she would have already set a date, booked a venue and already picked out a wedding dress by now. Her lack of excitement was a bit concerning.

  “You want to get married, right Brooke?”

  She sat up but still straddled him. “Of course. Mrs. Brooke Dashel. Has a good ring to it, don’t you think?”

  Smiling up at her, he agreed. “I think so. You sound good with my name attached to yours.”

  She shrugged her shoulders and then got off of him to go to the bathroom. He watched her beautiful ass sway back and forth as she sauntered off to the connecting bathroom.

  Their room was made up of plush carpets, neutral tones and a massive four-post bed in the middle. Brooke loved being tied up and Mason loved doing it at the same time. They were making a home for each other and Mason had to laugh at himself because he never thought he would see the day when he would be shacking up with a girl, proposing and thinking about actually starting a family.

  Brooke came out of the bathroom, fully clothed and hair brushed to perfection. She put on her shoes and grab
bed her purse.

  “I’m heading out to hang with some friends. I’ll catch you later, Mase.”

  “Wait? What?” Mason sat up in bed, completely confused as to what the hell just happened.

  “I promised some friends I would meet up with them.”

  Friends? When the hell did she make friends?

  “Ok, but I thought we were going to hang out all night. I was kind of looking forward to tying you up and then banging the fuck out of you.”

  She walked over to him, patted his face gently and said, “Don’t wait up.” She kissed his lips gently and then left him alone in their bed.

  What the fuck? Her nonchalant attitude was a little frightening.

  He wanted it all; the job, the wife, the family…everything. He wanted it all with Brooke, he wanted a life with her and a family. She was it for him even though she might currently be acting a little strange.

  The minute he saw Brooke for the first time, he knew he wouldn’t be able to shake her. She was a bit of an addiction for him and even though recently she had been acting strange, he loved her. He loved her so damn much that he would be lost without her. Asking her to marry him was one of the best decisions he ever made.

  Or so he thought…
