“Mia, are you sure you want to join me on this spectacular adventure?” He brought me in for another hug. “No pressure, but the right answer is—”
“Yes.” I squished my face against his firm chest.
DRAWING THE TWO LONG STRANDSof red ribbon toward Mia, I wound them around her body, securing her to the enormous crystal chandelier above. I’d stripped her naked and she stood with her arms raised above her head and her feet barely touching the ground, balancing on her tiptoes.
One with the chandelier.
I stepped back to admire my handiwork and my stunning lover. She emanated tranquility, her inquisitive gaze focused on my every move.
I stripped off my clothes, thinking it felt right to be so exposed within Chrysalis. With no secrets between us and nothing to hold us back.
Stepping forward, I lifted her chin and kissed her tenderly, her mouth soft and yielding as it opened to mine.
Bowing my head, I sucked on her left nipple and it beaded between my lips, a soft moan escaping her. I moved to the other and her areola tightened as I drew it into my mouth lovingly. I caressed her breasts, lavishing her with affection until her body trembled.
Kneeling at her feet, I ran my thumbs along her sex to ease her apart, licking and kissing her clit, worshiping her with the tantalizing tip of my tongue until her soft groaning echoed around us…her scent bewitching.
After she’d trembled through an orgasm, I rose to my feet and wrapped my hands around her waist, lifting her up. With a gentle shove, I buried my cock inside her and slowly moved deeper until we were perfectly one.
Rocking into her leisurely, below the grand chandelier’s prism of light, I spoke the words my heart yearned to say.
“Mia Lauren,” I whispered, “I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.” I pressed my lips to her throat and held the kiss.
“I want to be your wife,” she said softly. “I love you so much, Cameron.”
“I will cherish you, protect you, love you, worship you and make you the happiest woman in the universe,” I promised, grinning at her.
She moaned and it sounded like a plea.
We climaxed together, me pumping into her hard with her legs trembling around me, her muscles clenching possessively, our groans echoing around us.
Eventually, I untied her and carried her to the spa.
We took a shower together and got dressed, ready for an afternoon of fun.
Leaving Chrysalis in the late afternoon in my convertible Bugatti, I drove us to The Sunset in Malibufor a late lunch. We enjoyed a view of the ocean from our table. Her hand stayed in mine, and we were constantly glancing at each other with affection. From our vantage point, we watched the yachts drift by as we sipped iced tea and shared a warm chocolate tortino, our spoons playfully clashing for the last bite, our hysterical laughter threatening to disrupt the other guests.
I took Mia to one of my favorite places in the city, Amoeba Music, and we strolled around rifling through the massive collection of vinyl records, searching out those rare finds.
We ended up in Santa Monica, where we left the car parked for the night and rented two bicycles. Mia and I cycled alongside the ocean all the way to Venice Beach. Sitting next to each other on the sand, we sat looking out at the sea with no words needed between us.
When the weather turned chilly, we gave up the bikes and walked the short distance to my beachfront property. I’d had it prepared for our stay.
The two-story house was filled with flowers, and Mia ran from room to room in awe of the beauty surrounding us.
“I wanted to make it special for you,” I told her.
“Everything always is with you,” she said breathlessly.
We made our way upstairs and tumbled onto the king-sized bed, our limbs entwined.
“Happy birthday, Mia.” I pressed my lips to her forehead.
When she looked up at me questioningly, I added, “I put this house in your name. It’s yours now. You’ll always have a safe place to come home to. And it just happens to be my all time favorite.”
She snuggled against me. “You’re my home, Cameron, and you always will be.”
I let out a sigh of happiness.
