Tears spilled down my cheeks and my face broke out into a huge smile. I could hardly believe my eyes. This was everything I’d ever dreamed of and now that it was happening, I was completely speechless. There was nothing I could say that could convey how truly grateful and happy I felt in that moment.
“Remy,” Griff started again with a grin as he held out the ring for me in the traditional stance for proposals. “You’re the only woman I’ve ever loved and I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life without you. I know I’ve made mistakes, but I want to try and make it up to you. I want to make you happier than you’ve ever been and I vow, I’ll never let anything come between us ever again. With that being said, Remy Nelson, will you do me the honor of marrying me?”
I blinked back tears and began nodding. “Y-yes. Yes, of course, I will!” I cried in excitement.
Griff smiled even wider and slipped the ring back on my finger. Somehow, it felt so much better now. He stood up once more and wrapped his arms tight around my waist before pulling me close for a heated kiss. It was a desperate embrace and as his tongue pressed inside my mouth, I lost the will to care about the people surrounding us. I gave in to my unbearable desire for Griff and kissed him with every ounce of the love I felt for him.
When we finally pulled apart, Griff pressed his forehead against mine. “This is the type of proposal an incredible woman like you deserves, Remy,” he whispered to me in his deep, husky voice. “Not some kind of matter-of-fact proposal at a business dinner. I’m sorry I had it all wrong before. I didn’t understand how important you were to me – I didn’t want to understand – but I do now and I promise I’ll make it all up to you starting now.”
His words caused warmth to rush throughout my body and I held him closer. I’d never been happier and I couldn’t wait to start my brand-new life with the man of my dreams. Everything felt so overwhelming and I had no outlet. All I could do was smile back at him and hope he understood how happy I was.
“How are you feeling, Remy?” he asked me. “You’ve been unnaturally quiet.”
I laughed. “I... It’s all so much, Griff,” I confessed. “I just... I want this – I want you – and I’m so happy that this is finally happening, but I also...” I trailed off and paused for a moment before leaning in close to his ear. “I also want you to make sweet love to me and I can’t wait much longer.”
When I drew back, I noticed that Griff’s expression had turned darker. His eyes were fixated on me and his fingers grabbed hold of me a little tighter and harder. It was clear that he wanted it to and I was suddenly regretting how far away the hotel was.
“Come on, let’s go,” Griff barked as he grabbed me by the elbow and dragged me back inside.
“Right now?” I asked, surprised by his demanding behavior all of a sudden.
“You can’t say something like that to me and expect me to act like nothing happened,” he said as he crowded in close to me. “I’m going to take you home and fuck you better than you’ve ever been fucked in your life, Remy. Remember, you asked for it.”
I gulped. Was it normal to feel scared and horny at the same time...?
The journey back to the hotel was frantic and rushed. Griff hailed a cab for us, but even that wasn’t enough to satiate him. He couldn’t keep his hands off me in the back of the taxi. We made out like horny teenagers who were barely aware of their surroundings. When the driver pulled up outside of the hotel, I’d not even realized the car had stopped. I was so wrapped up in Griff that I wasn’t sure I would have noticed even if a bomb had hit us.
Griff gave the driver a big tip and practically carried me inside. Even in the elevator, Griff was getting a little too handsy and eventually, he just pressed me up against the wall and began kissing my neck like he was starving for me and I couldn’t blame him. I felt like I needed him desperately and I wouldn’t be satisfied until he was laying me down in bed and pressing deep inside me.
Griff fumbled with the key as I kept kissing him while he tried to unlock the door, but eventually, he managed to unlock it and we stumbled into the hotel room with a laugh. Once the door was closed behind us, Griff practically jumped me and began pulling at my clothes in an urgent attempt to get me naked, but now that we were here, a thought occurred to me.
