Chapter 10
Yes. Everything was going to be okay. Eric just had to make sure that he kept Ryan close and not leave him alone. Eric had been planning something. He and the rest of the gang were planning the proposal. Eric had decided it was time to finally marry the one he loves.
It was just a week after Ryan's kidnapping and it was also the day Eric was going to propose.
Ryan was getting ready for a romantic dinner with Eric. Eric was going to take him out to dinner and then a movie. After that, Eric promised to take him to see Eric's castle. That's right, Eric owns the castle as soon as he marries and has an heir. That means the he technically isn't a king yet only a prince. The only way he could be king is if his heir is born. Eric still calls himself king, though, because Ryan was carrying his baby.
They went to Olive Garden and went to see How To Train Your Dragon. Ryan had been waiting for forever to see that movie. Eric then drove them to the castle.
Eric opened the door for Ryan when they arrived and held his hand all the way to the castle doors. The guards all bowed low to them and Eric led Ryan all the way to his room. Ryan was curios as to what Eric lived in as a child. The room was huge with a four-poster bed in the middle and the walls made of waterfalls. There were French doors leading to the balcony. Ryan ran to the balcony looking at the view. It was amazing. The castle was on the beach. Ryan was so loving this room.
"God Eric! I am so loving this room. Why did you wait so long to show me this place?"
"I wasn't sure if I was ready to commit to a life long relationship but now I am sure Ryan." Eric grabbed Ryan's hand. "Come to the beach with me. I have to show you it. I know you would love it."
Eric dragged Ryan to the balcony and lifted up a small door on the floor. Ryan gasped. He had never seen anything like it before.
"Is that a trap door? Oh my gosh that is so cool. Where does it lead to?" He asked.
"There are different trap doors and tunnels throughout the castle. They are all hidden so I don't know where all of them are but I could show you some time. Anyways this one leads down to the beach so let's go."
The tunnel was dark and Eric kept his hand wrapped around Ryan's waist and stomach the whole time. They only had a torch to light their path.
"This is so cool Eric. I am really glad you showed me this place." Ryan said once they reached the end of the tunnel.
"I am glad you like it baby." Eric brought them to the center of the beach and took Ryan's hands in his and got down on one knee.
"Ryan, Remember how I said I was ready to settle down with you, well I wasn't lying. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my long life with you by my side as Ryan Delko. Will you marry me my beautiful Ryan Jake Wolfe?" Eric took out a velvet box with the most beautiful ring Ryan had ever seen. It had both emeralds and diamonds and rubies. "I picked that one because rubies are your birthstone and the emeralds match your amazing eyes and the diamonds are really pretty like you."
Ryan smiled and said, "Oh of course I will marry you Eric."
Eric jumped up and kissed Ryan with so much force that he almost knocked them to the floor. Wile he was kissing Ryan senseless he slipped the ring on Ryan's finger.
"I love you and our baby so much Ry."
All of a sudden they heard cheering behind them. Everyone from the castle and all of their friends and family were out there cheering. A month later Ryan Wolfe became Ryan Delko.
