“Yes, Sean. Yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Thank fuck for that, because my knees are killing me. You’re not the only one getting old, love.”
I’m laughing as he slides the ring on my finger and stands up, pulling me into his arms.
“Do you like the house?”
“It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect.”
“Good, because I've already put the deposit down.”
“You have not.”
“I have. Moved my stuff in and all. It’s vacant, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to spend a few nights here.”
I slap him playfully. That’s the cocky man I know and love.
He spins me toward him and pulls me close so our bodies are pressed together.
“Well, this family isn't going to make itself. We’d better get started, especially as you’ve just pointed out that there’s not a moment to lose.”
“Sean, we can't do it here. This isn't our house.”
“It will be soon. But you're right.” I squeal as his scoops me up into his arms. “I’d better take you to the dunes.”
I'm a big girl and he staggers, making us both laugh.
“Do you want me to walk?”
“No. A man should be able to carry his future wife.”
I giggle as he sways and lurches under my weight. He’s panting hard when we reach the beach, and we both collapse onto the sand laughing.
It's a quiet cove with a handful of houses surrounding it. There’s no one around, but he pulls me into a dip in the dunes where no one can see us, just in case.
He kisses me then. It’s a full and passionate kiss awakening a deep yearning inside of me. Our bodies may be a bit older and creakier and our hearts a little scarred, but that just adds to the deep love we feel for each other.
Sean pulls his t-shirt off and lays it on the sand like a blanket. We tug off each other’s clothes until we’re both naked, enjoying the feel of the sun and cool sea breeze on our bare skin.
I straddle him and take my time sliding him slowly inside of me. As I sink down onto him, I feel a sense of peace that I haven't felt in a long time. I can finally put the past behind me.
He clasps my cheeks in his hands and we look into each other’s eyes, really seeing each other.
“I love you Gina, and this time I will never let you go.”
“I love you too, Sean.”
We make love slowly with the sound of the ocean breaking around us and the salt air gently skimming our bodies until we’re overcome with our needs, panting together until we both reach a climax. My nails dig into his shoulder as I try not to scream and give away our position in the dunes.
Lying on the sand afterwards, I feel something else I haven't felt in a long time. Hope. Hope for our future together, hope for this exciting adventure that we’re going on.
I’m opening my heart for the man that I love. That comes with a risk, but you don’t get anything in life without risk. And this time, I know we’ll make it.
