“Only if you behave.”
She bites her lower lip as I pipe the final dollop. “Just how I like it.” She leans in to take a bite, and I pull it out of her reach.
“It’s not ready yet.” I slowly set edible rose petals on top in a perfect design.
“Now?”
I shake my head. “One final touch.” My hand slips into my apron pocket. Cold metal presses against my fingers.
“Just for you, baby.”
Her eyes follow my hands, and I watch her as I push the bottom of the ring into the mountain of icing, the diamond glinting.
Her gasp fills the condo and the notifications for my live go wild.
“Shay, will you marry me?”
She nods, laughter and tears mingling. “Yes! Oh my God, yes!”
“Yes?”
“Yes!”
I scoop her into my arms, spinning her—careful of the cupcake, careful of the ring.
“We’re engaged!” I tell the live.
The comments explode:
SHE SAID YES
CHEF + SHAY = heart
Naked baking forever!!!
I press a kiss to her temple, holding her close, and whisper, “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I slide the ring onto her finger, icing slick between our hands.
“It’s beautiful.”
“You’re beautiful.” I bring her finger to my mouth and lick the icing.
She gasps, then grins wickedly.
Before I can react, she scoops a swipe of frosting and smears it across my bare chest.
“Shay—”
She licks it off slowly.
The chat absolutely loses its mind.
OMG! They’re so cute!
CHEF + SHAY = UNSTOPPABLE
