“Oh, my god,” Hanna gasped, stopping to watch.
Alex’s hand moved to her mouth, and I couldn’t hear the words, but tears slipped down her cheeks, and she was nodding even before Erik got the box open.
Cheers erupted, and Hanna clung to my arm, her own tears sliding down her cheeks. I wiped them away and licked them from my finger. They stood, and Erik snatched her up and vanished from the room.
“Lucky bastard,” I grumbled as Hanna tugged me back in her arms.
She looked up at me with zero remorse, stepping close and sliding her hips back and forth. “Do you want to get married?”
She dropped her gaze to my neck after asking the question, and I tugged her chin back up. “I do to you,” I said before kissing her softly. “But, let’s not steal any more thunder tonight.”
She bit her lip and stepped back.
“I’m ready to go home now.”
“It’s about fucking time.”
Similar to every time we pushed our needs to the last minute, we never made it home. Instead, I fucked her in a shadowed corner, promising her forever.
