We reach Matt’s apartment and head up in the elevator. Matt seems to be getting more agitated by the second.
I can’t ignore it any longer. “Come on, spill it,” I say.
He shakes his head. “When we get inside.”
Oh God, this is it isn’t it? It was all an act. His mom has told him to get rid of the pauper. We get out of the elevator and I step into Matt’s apartment with a lead weight in my stomach. The second he closes the door I whirl to face him. “Okay, out with it,” I say.
He nods and takes my hand, leading me out onto the balcony.
I start to calm down a little bit. Who takes someone onto the balcony to dump them? Maybe Sebastian told him something work related that he’s worrying about. Matt turns to face me and he smiles and the worry floats away.
“I was just looking at you and thinking of how beautiful you are, but then I realized something was missing,” he says.
“Missing?”
He nods solemnly. “Yes. I have one more gift for you. One I really hope you’ll accept.”
He reaches into his pocket and brings his hand out.
His fist closed so I can’t see what he’s holding.
“I love you, Callie. More than I ever thought it was possible to love another human being.” He drops to one knee and I gasp as he opens his fist and reveals the little box there.
He opens the box and shows me a diamond ring that matches my other new jewelry. “Would you make me the happiest man in the world and agree to be my wife?”
I can hardly see for the tears that blur my vision. “Yes. Yes, of course I’ll marry you!”
He pushes the ring onto my finger. It’s a perfect fit, just like Matt and me. He gets to his feet.
I lift my hand, smiling as I see the ring there. “I love you so much, Matt.”
He pulls me into his arms and as our lips meet, I know for sure that this is forever. I have found my prince, my knight, my soul mate. And I have never been happier than I am in this moment.
Epilogue
Callie
I clap my hands in delight and spin around the second the door closes as the porter leaves.
“Oh Matt, it’s perfect,” I say, looking around the room I’m standing in.
“You sound surprised,” Matt laughs.
I laugh with him and shake my head.
“No. I’m not surprised that it’s nice. I’m just excited to even be here,” I say.
I still can’t quite believe this is happening to me. When Matt told me he had booked us a surprise romantic get away, I expected a couple of days in Paris or something similar. Instead, we’re spending two weeks in Dubai.
I move across the room to Matt and he pulls me into his arms. I look up into his face and he looks back down at me, his eyes shining with love as he looks at me. I am so happy, I feel as though I might burst and I still have to keep pinching myself to make sure this is all real. There’s still a little part of me that is convinced that I’m going to wake up and find out that Matt and me, our moving in together, all of it, has just been a dream and I’m still single and alone.
I squeeze Matt a little bit tighter, needing to make sure he’s real and that he’s not just going to float away from me at any moment. He smiles at me and leans down and rubs his lips over mine.
“So what do you want to do first?”he asks.
I move out of his embrace and go to sit on the edge of the large bed.
“I thought maybe we could start with an early night,” I say. Matt grins at me and I bite my lip to hide my own grin and then I go on. “I’m pretty tired after all of that travelling.”
The grin falters slightly on Matt’s face as I add on the last part.
“Oh. Right. Ok. Yeah,” Matt says, seemingly unable to put a full sentence together through his disappointment and even though I bite my lip again, I can’t stop myself from laughing this time.
“I’m joking,” I say, patting the spot beside me on the bed. “Get over here.”
Matt doesn’t need telling twice. He closes the gap between us as I scoop backwards on the bed. Matt gets on the bed with me and our lips touch again. This time, it’s a long, passionate kiss that makes my insides swirl and my pussy tighten. Within moments, our clothes have all been shed and I can feel Matt’s hot skin against mine. The feeling of his naked body touching mine sends me wild with desire and I want him so badly.
I reach down and wrap my hand around his hard cock, rubbing it up and down. Matt moans, his breath warm against my ear. He kisses down my neck, sending shivers of desire through me as his fingers probe between my lips and find my clit. We work each other simultaneously, our breaths becoming ragged together. I can feel my climax creeping up on me, and I want to come so badly, to get the release my body needs to bring me fully to life.
I press myself against Matt’s fingers, pressing onto them hard and moving back and forth across them. Heat spreads through my body as my clit tingles deliciously. I stop moving my fist although I don’t release my hold on Matt’s cock. I am consumed by the pleasure that’s starting to assault me, barely even aware that I am still now.
Pleasure courses through my body, a wave of ecstasy that catches me off guard in its intensity, pushing me over the edge with a force that leaves me breathless. I can feel my whole body coming to life, fireworks of tingles exploding throughout me. I
