Forever.
Taking Reid’s hand in his, he stared into his best friend’s aqua-blue eyes and smiled.
“I used to make fun of Caden and Blade whenever they said they couldn’t live without Lucas or Ace, or that they had to make a quick phone call, just so they could hear their voices. It used to make me want to slap them and check to see if they still had their balls.
“But ever since you came back into my life, I find myself doing the same thing. I’m pretty sure that if you check, I no longer have balls between my legs.”
“Just as long as you still have that monstrous cock, I think we’ll be okay,” Reid added, reaching across the table and giving his hand a squeeze.
Nikolai nodded and blushed.
“Yes, we both know how obsessed you are with my dick. It can’t be helped.”
Niko glanced up at Reid and swallowed hard.
Why was he so nervous? This was his love. His best friend.
Because Reid could always say no…
“Basically, what I am trying to say is that even though you annoy the fuck out of me, with your constant snoring and the dirty tricks you play on me?—”
“Hey! You’re the one who made me wear the hoochie shorts while out jogging!” Reid chuckled. “I still owe you back for that one!”
“Yes, one day I will let you outsmart me. What I am trying to say is that I can’t imagine my life without you. You have always been there for me, fought for me, even broken your ass trying to take this humongous dick of mine.”
“Hey. Okay, now you are starting to get a little too cocky for me, babe,” Reid interjected once again.
“Will you stop talking and let me propose to you?”
Reid’s mouth dropped when he realized what Niko was trying to do. His mouth slammed shut, and he nodded, eyes wide, enthusiastically.
“Jesus, you never shut up,” Niko huffed, taking a sip of his champagne before looking back at the suddenly sober man practically vibrating out of his skin.
“Okay, so where was I? Oh yeah.”
Reaching across the table once more, Nikolai took Reid’s hand in his and began caressing the skin between his thumb and forefinger.
“Before I met you, I didn't realize what love was.”
Pulling his other hand from his pocket, Niko slid the purple velvet box across the table. He slowly lifted the lid, revealing the white and yellow-gold engagement ring he had purchased for Reid before they left New Mexico.
“Reidsexy-assMiller. Will you do me the honor and spend the rest of your life putting up with my stupid-ass shit?”
Reid jumped from his seat and rushed around the table. He threw his leg over Niko’s thighs and straddled him, crushing his dick in the process.
Arms wrapped around Niko, Reid stared into his hopeful eyes and smiled. “Of course, I’ll spend the rest of my life helping you out with your stupid-ass shit.”
A flood of relief crashed over Nikolai. He’d never been so happy to hear those words.
Without wasting another minute, their lips crashed together as they promised to commit their lives to one another. Grabbing the back of Reid’s head, Niko devoured his lips, moaning when his fiancé ground his ass into his lap.
The man was fucking delicious.
Jerking his head away, a panicked look quickly spread across Reid’s face.
“Shit! The ring! Let me see the ring!”
Niko burst out laughing. He pulled the ring from the box he still held in his hand and gently slipped it onto Reid’s finger.
