**Gwen's POV**

My eyes were filling with water. I wanted to answer him but I was still in shock. The ring was so beautiful; he must have been saving for so long for it. A smile spread across my face. Finally I was able to choke out an answer.

"Y-y-yes! Of course I'll marry you!" Duncan smiled up at me. He put the ring on my finger; it fit perfectly. The small diamond sparkled in the dimming sunlight. Duncan stood up and rushed me into a hug and spun me around in a gentle embrace. I was trying to choke back the sobs that kept trying to burst out of me hoping but Duncan heard me and looked in my eyes with a look of confusion and worry across his face.

"Gwen, what's wrong? Why are you crying Sunshine?" The gentleness in his voice was so heartwarming it made my heart want to burst.

"I-I'm crying because I've never felt happier in my entire life." Duncan's face became full of love and relief. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into slow, passionate kiss, his hands cupping my face then working their way down my shoulders, one hand going down my back with the other hand grasping my hair. Gasps escaped between our lips as my hands weaved around his neck. The kisses were growing more rapid and rougher. I'd never really seen this side of him. He was demanding and wild and I loved every second of it.

We continued kissing as we fell to the ground with him on top of me. We broke apart for air staring deeply into each other's eyes. Then in one move Duncan rushed down pressing his lips to my neck. The sensation was making me moan in delight. But I knew I had to stop him now or I wouldn't be able to care enough to try later.

"Uh, Duncan, please...wait." I was finally able to moan out.

"Why? Why not now? I love you, and I want you…right now." His voice was so seductive it made it feel harder for me to resist him, especially since I wanted him like he wanted me.

"Don't you think we're rushing this a little? I mean, we just got engaged." He sighed staring in my eyes. A smile spread across his face. It was one of his sweet smiles, the ones that showed his soft side.

"You're right, I'm sorry if I was rushing you and…if you want to wait then I respect your decision, because I don't want to mess things up with the first woman I've ever really loved."

"Thank you; let's go home we better start planning the wedding." With that Duncan climbed off of me and took my hand as we walked back to the car now under the starlight.

**At home later that night**

**Duncan's POV**

I stared at the ceiling lying next to Gwen who'd already fallen asleep. I just couldn't sleep, I was too damn excited. But this was different than how I'd expected it to feel, I'd expected a sense of lust and surrender of free will like my older brother used to tell me when he tied the knot. But with Gwen I felt true love. After what seemed like an eternity I finally fell asleep.

**The Next Day**

"AAAHHHHHH we're so excited for both of you!!"Our mom's replied in unison. Both Gwen's mom and my mom pulled us into a death grip. Our dad's on the other hand just clapped and stared at us with approving smiles. I tried to remember WHY we wanted to tell both of our parents together, because I felt the breath seeping out of my lungs. Gwen was the first to speak up.

"Um, Mom, Mrs. Carter, not that we don't love you but…"

"WE CAN'T BREATH!" Our moms let go immediately.

"Sorry honey, we're just so excited!" My mom looked like she was going to explode with happiness. "So what have you two got planned for the wedding so far?!"

"Mom, I just proposed last night! All we know is we is we want to have it this summer at the beach I proposed at."

"Awww, sweetie that's so cute, and romantic," my mom said pinching my cheek. I loved my mom but she sometimes made me feel like a damn two year old.

"MA!" I complained getting more agitated by the second.

"Okay, okay … oh we all got to go we'll see you two later." Finally they all left, THANK GOD, Leaving me and Gwen alone to plan the wedding, and our future.
