“I told you earlier,” I say. “You deserve only the best.”

“But… where the hell did you find those massive light letters?”

“Trust me,” I laugh. “It wasn’t easy.”

“Do we get to keep them?” she questions.

“If you want,” I smile. “We can put them in the living room.”

“Deal,” she laughs. “You know, I’ve always known this is where our relationship was heading and when I told you I didn’t want you to ask until after graduation, I didn’t expect you’d do it literally the very next day.”

“What can I say?” I laugh. “I’ve been waiting years to do it and now that I finally could, I wasn’t going to wait.”

She shakes her head in exasperation. “I should have known.”

“You’d think after eight years together you would be able to figure this shit out by now.”

“You’re an idiot,” she tells me.

“And you’re fucking stunning, especially with that ring on your finger.”

Tora throws herself off the table and into my arms, catching herself around my body. Her arms lock around my neck as her legs attempt to wrap around my waist, but the long silver dress makes it a bit hard. “How did I ever get so lucky?” she asks.

I shrug my shoulders as I walk over to the massive window, looking out over the view of Broken Hill. “It’s because you’ve got a nice ass,” I grin.

“Shut up,” she laughs before sighing as she takes in the view. “This is beautiful,” she tells me. “All of it. The flowers, the balloons, the letters. It’s all perfect. I can’t wait to tell Jesse and Brooke.”

“They already know,” I tell her, grinning as her brows draw down in confusion. “Who do you think set up this room while we were at dinner?”

“Are you serious?” she questions.

I nod. “Jesse wasn’t too impressed about filling up all these balloons with helium, though I don’t doubt he would have sucked in half the tank in the process,” I tell her, recalling the whining I had to deal with yesterday when we went over the plan.

“What do they think?” she asks. “About us getting married?”

“Well, ‘about time’ was uttered a lot.”

“Oh, geez,” she laughs, wriggling out of my arms. I help her to her feet and watch her as she stands before me. “Do you have to work tomorrow?”

“Are you nuts?” I scoff. “You think I’m going to go in to work the day after I ask you to marry me? No way in hell.”

“So… we can stay up until the early hours of the morning doing whatever the hell we want?”

“Well, we wouldn’t want this room to go to waste,” I tell her, reaching out and trailing my fingers over her shoulder and playing with the strap of her dress, knowing it would take just the slightest flick of my fingers to slide it down her arm.

She catches my fingers and brings them to her lips, gently kissing them before letting my hand go. It falls to my side and I watch as she steps back from me with heat in her eyes.

She takes the strap of her dress and flicks it just the way I wanted to, before doing the same with the other side. But watching the dress fall to the floor in a silver heap with her eyes burning into mine is so much better than doing it myself.

She walks forward in nothing but black heels and a black thong and without a doubt, I’m the luckiest man on the planet. “Take me to bed,” she tells me, taking my fingers and leading me towards the bed. “First, I want you to kiss me like you’ll never kiss me again, and then I want you to make love to me until the sun comes up.”

How could I possibly say no?

Chapter 5

We wake in the morning after having about two hours sleep. Just as Tora had requested, I made love to her all night, until we physically couldn’t go any longer. The sun was just starting to peek over the hills when I told her to sleep.

Little does she know, it’s going to be another huge day. After all, now we have to tell the world that she said ‘yes.’

She’s probably exhausted. The last few days have been massive. She’s had to pack up her home, had her graduation, she’s moved back to Broken Hill, and I sprung a proposal on her yesterday. Anyone would be exhausted, but she just needs to make it one more day. After this, she can sleep until the cows come home.

It’s a perfect day and I can’t help but walk over to the massive window to take in the incredible view before me. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. No matter what the room cost, it was definitely worth the money of having such a spectacular view, but the best view in the room is the one I take in when I turn around to see Tora looking back at me, wrapped in nothing but the white sheet of the bed as her hair cascades down over her.
