He thrusts back in, his pace the hardest it’s ever been. I moan as the pain morphs into something delicious, the budding heat already beginning to expand. He leans forward, pressing his flexed abs against my stomach as he threads his fingers through mine.

The new position allows him to drive in deeper, the sensation making the pressure grow.

But then something cold wraps around my finger, sending a shiver down my arm.

I snatch my hand down and examine it, my heart fluttering when I realize what it is. Attached to my ring finger is a massive pear-shaped diamond, with a halo of smaller diamonds around it.

Immediately, my eyes well with tears, the overwhelming feeling of euphoria clogging my throat.

Adrian moves my hands and presses a soft kiss to my lips. “Marry me, Bambi?”

A warm tear streaks down my face. “Oh, my God, Adrian. Yes. So many times, yes.”

I wrap my hands around his neck, letting my fingers dive in his hair and pull him closer. Our kiss is greedy, and as hungry as ever, while we devour each other.

It isn’t until later, when we’re both out of breath, satiated beyond words, that we finally come down. I’m resting in the crook of his arm, tracing idle shapes on his chest, staring at the gorgeous ring reflecting hues of blue on his skin. His free hand strokes my hair, and I almost think I’m purring, I feel so good.

But just when I think there’s nothing more perfect than this moment, his whisper proves me wrong.

“Fourth of July, little prey.” He shifts and kisses me on the temple. “You can hunt me then.”

My heart soars as I climb on top of him, peppering him with sweet kisses and nips of joy. “I freaking love you.”

Adrian chuckles, allowing me a few more seconds before flipping me back over. “I love you more, Sam.”

The End.
