Chapter 10

Chapter Ten

Rowena

I can’t believe that Oakley had made me feel so good, the pleasure having built inside of me in a way that I couldn’t hold back. I couldn’t be sure what was going to come from it but I did know that I was going to enjoy it.

Every feeling has pulsed inside of me that was ready to erupt at any moment but I couldn’t be sure what was going to happen. I didn’t even know if it was going to be alright but I was okay with that.

I just want to do whatever I please and hopefully, it is not going to end up blowing up in my face. At least I can say that I’m trying but I’m not sure what is going to happen. I’m ready for more but I could only do so much.

Liccking my bottom lip, I watch as Oakley is staring at me from where he is sitting, this heated look in his gaze that is enough to make me feel a little odd but I was quite certain about what I was longing for. I wasn’t sure where this was going to take us but I knew what I needed.

And that is him.

That is all that I can think about.

“So,” Oakley murmurs, leaning forward in his chair and watching me intently, “what do you think is going to happen, Rowena? Do you think that we are going to be the perfect match?”

“I’d like to think so.” I agree with him, hoping that it is going to be fine, “truthfully, I don’t know what is going to happen but I do know that I’m okay with it.”

Every part of me is on edge right now and it’s like I have never wanted something as much as I want him right now. This pleasure makes me think that I won’t be able to hold back, and when I have finally gotten a taste of it, I know that I can’t let go.

I don’t want to, not when everything is finally going the way that I had wished for it to.

I just keep trying to decide if this is going to be alright or if I’m going to have to do something else. I don’t know but I do know what I’m craving.

And this is it.

“I just want to be one with you.” I agree with him, nervously gnawing on my bottom lip, “I don’t know if it is going to be okay but I do know that it is going to be fine. I just know that I want to marry you.”

I can’t believe that I’m saying this, this intense feeling erupting inside of me that makes me ache more for it all. I’m almost certain that this is going to be everything that I can do but I couldn’t be sure about what I want.

But now I am certain that I’m not going to be able to let go. I don’t WANT to let go before it ends up being too late.

But now I’m more than just a little ready for more as I think that maybe loving Oakley is where I’m going to need this to go.

So Oakley rises to his feet, watching me with an intensity in his gaze that is enough to make me feel like I’m going to go crazy. When he reached into his pocket, I knew what was going to come next from it.

Dropping down onto one knee, he gazes up at me with those beautiful eyes, enough to make me feel like I'm going to go crazy. It is almost too much, like I’m going to end up falling harder for him than I would have ever imagined.

But when he looks at me, it is like he is seeing someone that he has loved his entire life. And loving him is enough for me because I know that we are meant to be together.

And I don’t think that I’m going to be able to stop this feeling any longer.

I’m trying to think of the right thing to do but I already know what I want.

“I like you a lot,” Oakley tells me, the diamond ring in his hand that makes me feel really odd, “and I can promise you that I’m going to always treat you well and you will NEVER have to worry about being alone. Not on my watch, Rowena.”

His promise is enough for me, and it makes me smile, reaching out and holding his hand like it is nothing I have ever felt before. I hold out my hand.

“Yes, I will marry you.” I tell him softly, like everything is perfect in a way that I could have never dreamed about, “I care about you so much, Oakley.”

This feeling is erupting inside of me, tempting me to do more as all I can think about is what is going to happen next. I don’t know if it is going to be fine but I did know that I wasn’t going to be able to stop it.

I didn’t WANT to.

I just want to make sure that we are going to be okay.

He slips the ring onto my finger before he cups my face in his hands, softly kissing me as our lips move in perfect sync. I feel perfect, like I’m never going to be able to hold back nor do I want to. I can’t bring myself to care either, realizing that I’m enjoying everything he is doing.

But now I’m certain that no matter what I do, it is going to be with me by his side. I’m going to continue to love him and I’m never going to be able to stop it.

Especially when I know that he is the one person that I have to keep by my side.

That I’m never going to be able to stop loving.

Something tells me with him by my side, I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to. I just don’t know if he is going to feel the same way before it is too late…

I don’t know but I do know that it is going to be fine.
