"Yep. You're an incredible person, T. Talented, loving, gorgeous, sexy, and a wildcat in the sack."
She laughs. "Don't tell anyone that last part."
"Fuck no. I don't want anyone to know that shit or they'll start chasing you harder than they already are," I scowl.
She rolls her eyes. "No one is chasing me, you dork."
I sigh. "Don't even try. I get the low down from Carter. They all try to get your attention. You just don't notice."
She shrugs. "I don't. No one matters like that but you."
My heart thumps harder. "Good answer."
"It's the truth."
I grab the shampoo and start lathering her hair. "Christ, you have a lot of hair."
"Mmm, that feels good."
I massage her scalp.
"So, if it's the truth that I'm the only one you notice and I'm the one you're in love with," I begin, then turn her so her back is to the water again and begin rinsing her hair, "then I think it's only right that you say yes."
Her brows furrow. "I'm not doing anal, Xan. I said maybe someday—"
I laugh, cutting her off. "While that's a really intriguing thought, that's not what I meant."
"Huh?"
I finish rinsing her hair then start putting conditioner in. She turns to rinse and I hold her shoulders. She meets my gaze.
"Tera."
Her eyebrows raise.
"Marry me."
Her mouth opens, closes, opens, and closes again.
I hold my breath as I wait.
She forgets herself and steps under the spray, water and hair conditioner getting in her mouth. She snickers as she rinses her mouth.
I'm turning blue. I'm sure of it. I'll die of oxygen depravation.
Her hands cup my cheeks, pulling me down to her so our eyes are level. "Yes."
I blow out the breath I was holding. "Yes?" I squeak.
She laughs and nods. "Yes. Yes, I'll marry you. I'll be your wife and it'll be you and me together for as long as we both shall live."
I hug her tight to me. "You don't even know how happy I am right now."
"I’m getting an idea," she teases when my hardening cock presses against her.
"Ignore it. My cock can't help itself. It loves you, too."
"And I love it… and you."
