"So, can we get out of here and celebrate your successful book tour in your hotel room?" She eye sexes me with a perfectly sculpted high eye-brow.
"I think that's a great idea. But there's somewhere I'd like to go first."
"How mysterious of you," she narrows her eyes at me.
"What can I say—never boring."
And now I know exactly what we're going to do to start our week together—I'm going to propose to her on top of the Empire State Building…
Chapter 50: The Proposal
EmilyPOV
After I freshen up as best I can at the bookstore, we grab a cab to the Empire State Building. I'm really nervous but I don't know why—I know she's going to say yes and it's going to be one of the happiest, most cherished moments of my life!
She senses my nerves, "Hey, Em, is everything all right?"
I take in a solid breath and say, "Yeah, I'm just overwhelmed that you're here, but in a good way."
She squeezes my knee, "I hope so."
I lean towards her and kiss her lips softly, "There. Better?"
"Much."
She can't resist a little eye sex which drives my adrenaline up a notch.
"I love you Maya."
"I know beautiful, I love you too." I tingle whenever she calls me that!
The taxi pulls up to the curb to let us out. Maya hands him his fare plus a tip and we're ready to recreate one of our most treasured moments together. We ascend to the rooftop, this time it's a warm summer night. No need for a jacket. I have on white skinny jeans, light brown wedge sandals and a scoop neck beige woven tank top. Hey, I was here to sell books and my arms are looking pretty toned from lifting a one year so whatever works! And Maya looks amazing in her black heels and jeans rolled to her ankle with a sheer white button down barely shielding a black lace bra underneath. Her hair is long and sexy just how I like it and her eyes—oh her eyes are lashed perfectly!
She stands with her back to me inhaling the night air before she peeks over her shoulder giving me the 'come here' motion with her finger. It's like I'm floating over to her on a cloud. She has this innate ability to cast a spell over me time and time again.
My hands are in my pockets as I reach in cradling the small navy blue velvet box in my hand. I walk over to her wrapping one arm around her as the other stays clutching the symbol of my love for her.
She snuggles back into me.
"You remember don't you?" I ask already knowing the answer but needing her to say it out loud.
"I'll never forget."
"Oh really."
"You took out your phone to take pictures when someone asked us if we would like a picture together. We turned our backs to put the city sky in the background then I wrapped my arms around your waist and you wrapped your arms around me with our cheeks pressed together."
"I guess you do remember."
"I told you I'll never forget."
"And then this kind man asked if we wanted one more picture so we turned towardseach other looking into each other's eyes and it just sort of happened, we kissed ever so gently as the camera flashed. It was just a small kiss that sent tingling sensations throughout my body."
"Tingly sensations, ey?" she winks.
"You know you do that to me, then and now."
"What else do you remember about that night?"
"The kiss just needed to happen and when it did it felt right," I kiss her temple lightly.
"Hmm, then he said we made a nice couple," she nudges me.
"Yeah and you thanked him and said you thought so too!" I squeeze her kissing her temple.
"He said it was nice to see two people so in love. Aww."
"I remember thinking that I liked that he thought that," my lips caress her again.
"Well, the kiss was the most natural thing to do at that moment," she says exactly what I'm feeling.
"I felt the same way."
"We hadn't even know each other that long but it felt so right," she places her hand over her chest.
"Mmm, it did feel right."
"Just like now with your arms, or should I say arm around me. Where's the other one? I want me surrounded by you."
I whisper in her ear, "You are My, you are."
She looks over at me, "I still want it."
I smile as she looks out into the night once again. This is the moment. I remove the box from my pants pocket. I put that arm around her. I flip the box open with my other hand and bring it into her view of the skyline.
Her hands cover her mouth. She doesn't say a word but I can tell she's getting as emotional as I am.
I take the ring away from her line of sight and when she turns around to face me I'm down on one knee, her hands still covering her face.
"I love you so much Maya. I love you with all my heart and body and soul. I want to be with you. I want to raise our family together in more than just spirit. Maya, I want you to marry me. Will you marry me?"
I nestle the ring box in one hand and rest my fingertips on the top of the box with the other hand, anticipating in silence while onlookers wait enthusiastically for her answer.
She nods her head. She removes her hands from her face.
"Yes, yes I'll marry you!"
Everyone on the observation deck cheers.
"Yes. You will?"
"Yes! Oh yes!"
I stand up hugging her and she's hugging me!
We look into each other's eyes and kiss a soft, sweet kiss just like that very first time we stood here! We smile and giggle with people cheering for us to kiss a defining moment kind of kiss!
Our eyes widen and our lips touch. Our eyes close and our lips seal firmly, but with a little added space, building the passion between us.
As the applause subsides, our kisses return to pecks on the lips over and over.
"Hey, I got so excited that you said yes I forgot to put the ring on your finger."
With eagerness in her eyes, I slide the ring onto its rightful place. It's a perfect fit!
I kiss the ring and her hand.
She holds it up to the sky, "It's absolutely beautiful. I'm never taking it off."
"It looks amazing on you."
She kisses me, "Ya know, I always thought it would play out the other way around. But I guess you beat me to it."
"I figured you had the baby so I'll get the ring."
"Haha! Well okay then I can deal with that!"
We hug some more and kiss some more and she snuggles up in to me just like the evening started.
"It really is perfect Emily. I love you."
"I love you too, more than I ever thought possible."
And we sway in the night air until the last elevator ride descends to the ground floor. We walk out onto the sidewalk and hail a cab to pick us up. We're both emotionally drained, but I feel a second wind coming on, one that will last throughout this memorable night…
The Hotel Room…
I slide my key card through the slot and when the green light goes on we push through needing to celebrate our engagement immediately. I grab the handle before it shuts so I can place the 'do not disturb' sign on the other side of the door. I lock it securely with the swinging latch and when I turn around, Maya lies in wait, wearing just her panties and bra, on the turned down bed. Damn! She got out of those clothes with lightning speed!
She's on her side, with her elbow bent, resting her head in her hand, while patting the mattress with her newly ringed one, encouraging me to join her. I, for one, need no encouragement. I slip my tank top over my head, kick off my sandals, and shimmy out of my skinny jeans, stepping on them so I can free my legs completely. I leave them in a pile on the floor, crawling onto the bed. I lie down on my side facing her. She glides her hand over my hips pressing me closer to her.
"I love you," she purrs. I feel all warm inside when she uses that tone of voice!
"I love you too."
We kiss. Her head falls onto the pillow and her fingers run through my hair, as she keeps my lips against hers. My body falls gently over hers while her leg bends, leaning into me. My hand caresses her thigh tenderly but her scent consumes me and my actions besiege her.
She tries unsuccessfully to de-clasp her bra with one hand so I give her a quick assist and while she flings it off I undo mine forming a new pile of clothing on the floor. Our breasts squish into each other's and our nipples embed into one another's flesh. I rub up against her body needing to feel her. We moan small approving moans as my hand slides under her panties slipping on her wet lips. I like that she's so ready, it turns me on, exciting me to dive my fingers into her. She bucks and shrieks as I push deeper and deeper, over and over until her walls swell and she gushes onto me!
I pull my hand from her panties licking and swallowing her stickiness, so sweet, so decadent! I need to taste more of her and she knows it! As I rise up to change positions she pushes her panties off her ass to her knees then I drop them down to her ankles and throw them onto the floor. My face smothers her pussy taking long slow licks, mmmming as I suck her deliciousness! Her clit firms up from the flick of my tongue and I can feel her body begin to react. I hold my mouth steady as her orgasm flows through her body making her legs shake and making all of her quiver!
Her chest heaves as she catches her breath and my lips kiss up her torso to her nipples, taking a moment to appreciate their awareness of my touch. Her skin so soft, so smooth, her nipples so silky, so spiked! Maybe, I take more than a moment, as I'm enjoying the way they feel in my mouth.
My lips journey to her mouth, kissing her with a smile, a great big smile. I look into her eyes and see the beauty of Maya's soul dancing in the golden flecks of her irises. She blinks, drawing me out of my trance.
"What is it beautiful?"
"It's," I caress her flawless skin, "it's just that what we have, I feel, is so much more than love."
She tilts her head to the side, "What more is there?"
"Respect, honesty, reliability."
"That last one sounds kind of boring," she laughs as she takes a strand of my hair sliding it between her fingertips.
"I guess it's this feeling that I don't think I could live without you," I brush my lips against hers.
"Aww, Em, I know that feeling. I have it too."
I smile shyly.
"Look at you all blushy. I'm the one who should be blushing after what you just did to me."
"I love loving you."
"And I love loving you," her eyebrow cocks.
"Something tells me it's your turn."
She rolls on top of me, "Oh yeah. It's definitely your turn—to feel…"
The covers have joined the clothes on the floor. We lie on our backs dampened by our celebration.
"Damn, Maya, I think that ring gave you sexual super powers!"
We laugh tempestuously!
"It wasn't the ring," she eye sexes me.
We laugh some more.
We turn on our sides looking longingly at each other. I take her left hand in mine, admiring this brilliant symbol of our love.
"It is beautiful," she says.
"It's even more beautiful on your finger."
We kiss delicately.
"This is really happening isn't it," she extends her arm admiring the diamond.
"It really is."
"Em?"
"Yeah My?"
"Do you ever wish you never cheated on Ryan?"
I'm surprised by her question.
"Umm, I'm not sure where this is coming from but I think I wish there was less hurt."
"Mm, me too."
"I was completely thrown off. I wanted to ignore the feelings but at the same time I wanted to feel those feelings. Does that make sense?"
"Yeah. I never felt any need to seek comfort in another's arms while Josh was away. But with you, with you I wanted your comfort. I wanted you."
"Did you feel it right away?"
"Well yeah. I mean we kissed at the top of the Empire State Building after only knowing each other for, what, three days?"
"Was it that soon?"
"Something like that."
"And when we got home and hopped into the hot tub I thought for sure you were going to…"
"Unfortunately I was interrupted."
"So," I say playfully, "what would you have done with me if we weren't interrupted?" I bite into my lower lip waiting for her detailed verbal illustration.
"Isn't it better to keep wondering?"
"No! Tell me, please," I give her pleading doe eyes.
She takes in a breath, "When your bra strap slipped down your arm and you were about to fix it…"
"You put your hand over mine and said, 'leave it'."
"I meant it. I was going to kiss those pouty lips and make them want me."
Now I'm the one taking in a breath.
"I was going to slide closer to your body. I was going to reach behind you and unclasp your bra. I was going to slip both straps down your arms and take it completely off of you."
I'm feeling lightheaded.
"Then I would've gotten up and knelt between your legs. My hands would've caressed your thighs and my lips would've caressed your nipples."
Shit.
"I would've tasted you until you were so aroused that you wouldn't notice me slipping your panties off. And then I would've leaned into you capturing your jaw dropped mouth while I cupped your wet pussy with my hand."
"Maya. I'm like all tingly from just your words."
"Once I made you cum, I knew you would be back time and time again."
"You knew that, huh?"
"We would've fucked a lot sooner and a lot more often. You would've been in my bed every second that we were left unattended."
"Oh my god Maya. You are so damn confident," I say admiringly.
"That, my dear, is part of what drew you to me."
"You're right. The way you carried yourself, especially like you weren't doing anything wrong."
"Well, I wasn't—at first," she winks with those extra-long lashes.
"The whole time you wanted me in your bed?"
"I think so. You ignited something inside of me, something I needed to experience and hold on to."
"I was afraid it was just us being bi-curious."
"Call it what you want. There was nothing bi-anything about it."
"But you still made love with Josh."
"And you with Ryan but my mind was definitely elsewhere."
I smile, "Mine was too. Every time Ryan and I had sex I was wanting it to be you."
"Oh yeah. You knew right away that I'd be good in bed, is that it?"
"Well—you do have a very…"
"Very what?" She props herself up leaning on her elbow.
"A very—an 'I know what I'm doing in regards to sex' mouth."
"What!" She gasps!
I need to dig out of this one but quick!
"I mean, your mouth is very sexy. Those lips are very seductive."
"You realize, I'll be covering my mouth wherever I go now, don't you!" She puts her hand over it.
I pull her hand away and kiss it, then kiss those seductive lips.
"No, don't. They're beautiful. They're a part of who you are."
"A seductive sex machine?"
I laugh, "No! Not at all! You, Maya, showed me what my life was missing."
"Nice redirect Em."
"It's true, your mouth and lips are a bonus."
"A bonus?"
I smother her with my body, "You are that unexpected extra that my heart yearned for."
"Nice recovery."
"Ya think?"
We pause for just a moment as we take in this idea that we are about to be forever.
"Hmm," she exhales, "What are my mouth and lips telling you now?" She dares.
I smile at the challenge, "They're telling me you know what you want and you've always known."
She smiles back, I think, liking my answer.
"I have. I wanted true love and I finally found it when I met you."
My eyes widen with irrefutable elation. Our lips touch and our eyes close.
"I love you Maya St. Germain," I say against her lips, "and you, too, are my true love and my only destiny."
Our lips collapse into a searing, hungry kiss.
That jaw unhinges, opening her mouth widely, surrounding my lips, creating this impassioned exchange between the two of us...
Our hearts beating against each other, while our love permeates our souls, we silently promise to love honor and cherish…
