Kara
3 months later…
Reid and I have been living in a perfect little bubble since not long after we confronted Molly. I asked him to move in with me and he’s been here ever since. He still sees Jason and Liam, they’re always coming over or asking us to double date. It’s good seeing them so happy together. They’re the perfect couple. They got engaged two months ago, and I for one cannot wait for their big day. I know it’s going to be beautiful. Reid and I keep joking that we should help them plan a big gay wedding, but they laugh us off and say they’re going to wait a while before actually getting married. They want to do it on their anniversary next year, and though they said they wouldn’t start planning just yet, I’ve seen the scrapbooks lying around the house whenever Reid and I visit. Plus, Liam has a scrapbook he thinks I don’t know about at work. I catch him staring at it when he doesn’t know I’m around. I’d say I’ve learned the art of stealth pretty well.
We’re going out tonight and I’m taking a shower after making love to my man. I’m stood here under the water with my eyes closed, remembering how it felt. I had multiple orgasms at the touch of his hand as well as his cock. I’m getting aroused just thinking about how good he felt as he spread my legs and licked me before finger fucking me and toying with my ass with the help of the wetness he coaxed out of me. I’ve never let a man touch me there before, and Reid and I are only just starting to venture into those kind of things. He’s so amazing when he has his mouth on my clit, one hand playing me like a fiddle and the other just dipping in and out of my ass in rhythm with the first hand.
I let my head fall back against the tiles as I cup my breasts before dipping a hand down below to pleasure myself.
A cough brings me from my reverie and I see Reid’s eyes focussed on my hand. I leisurely dip a finger inside myself and close my eyes.
“Open your eyes, baby,” he demands.
I obey and make eye contact with him. My one hand caresses my breast and pulls my nipple taut while the other dips in and out of me, making me moan quietly.
Reid joins me in the water and dips his head to kiss me. I allow him access to my mouth, then he nibbles along my jawline and places feather-light kisses down my throat. He kisses down to the swell of my breasts before cupping them and sucking each nipple in turn. We’ve just spent the last couple of hours making love, yet here I am, ready to go again, and it feels like Reid is too if his erection pressing against me is anything to go by.
Suddenly, his strong arms sweep my feet from under me, and my legs are wrapped around Reid’s waist. He claims my lips with his as he thrusts into me. I squeeze my walls around him and he moans into my mouth. Holding my hips tight, he builds an almost punishing rhythm. This isn’t slow, languid love making, this is pure sex. In an instant, he changes our position again, this time I’m facing the wall of the shower and bent over with my ass on display to him. I spread my legs to gain a better stance as he pushes himself slowly inside me. Inch by delicious inch he fills me again, and I’m soon moaning out his name as I reach my climax.

At the rate we were going, I never thought we’d make our reservation in time, but here we are at The Olive Grove anyway. It’s such a beautiful place. It’s only been open for a few months and it’s good to have somewhere to go instead of Madison Avenue. Not long after we confronted Molly, she handed in her notice and we haven’t seen her since. But we stay away from the place now as much as we can. Liam and Jason had their engagement party there, but that was the last time we were there.
We’re seated in a booth by the window that overlooks a gorgeous back terrace. There are delicate fairy lights strung up, and sofas that look large and comfortable. It looks like a little peaceful oasis. The waiter arrives with our menus and asks if he can get us some drinks. Reid orders a bottle of prosecco—we got a taxi to the restaurant so we could both drink—and the waiter returns promptly with a bottle and two glasses.
We order our food and talk about Thea’s christening next week. Zoey and Brock decided to get married in the New Year and booked her christening first. Her dress is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen. Zoey and I searched a multitude of stores before she found ‘the one.’ She asked both Reid and I to be godparents in the end. Her asking Reid to be Thea’s godfather shocked me, but she said she doesn’t know a man she trusts more than him other than Brock. So that was it…although I’m not sure if he agreed more for her sake or mine. I’m just glad he did it at all.
The food was divine. I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed steak as much as the Chateaubriand I just ate. It was tender and lean, cooked medium, and coated in the most delicious sauce. I’m sure I could eat here every night of the week and never get tired of their food. After our plates were cleared, we decided to share a chocolate dessert. It was like a piece of heaven.
Now we’re sat outside on the terrace and it’s just as wonderful as I thought it would be. Reid is sat next to me, but I don’t think he’s as comfortable as I am because he keeps fidgeting. I could quite happily curl up and go to sleep, it’s that comfortable here.
“Kara,” Reid says, drawing my attention to him. “You know how much I love you, right?”
“Of course I do.”
“You mean the whole world to me. You’re my light in the dark, the sun to my moon. I will love you until the last breath leaves my body. I want to keep loving you for all that you are, all that you have been, and all you have yet to be. I belong to you, Kara, from now until the end of time. As the days pass by with you by my side, I couldn’t ask for a better person to be my wife…will you marry me?”
Tears well in my eyes as I gaze down at the beautiful ring he’s holding out to me. I see a rich purple heart-shaped stone and am already in love with it without having to see the rest of it.
My heart swells in my chest as I see the love shine in Reid’s eyes.
“Yes, ohmygod a million times yes!”
He takes the ring from its box and places it on my finger. I hold it up to gaze at it some more. It has an infinity symbol on each side of the heart, but with the added beauty of the top loops being shaped like hearts too.
I’m lifted off the ground and twirled around. I hear a champagne cork pop and Reid places me back on my own two feet so we can each accept a flute of champagne from the waiter.
“To my beautiful wife-to-be,” Reid toasts as he raises his glass and clinks it with mine.
“To my handsome husband-to-be,” I toast in return.
“I’m the luckiest man on the face of the planet,” Reid whispers as he circles an arm round my waist and draws my back against his chest.
He moves my hair to one side and places feather-light kisses down the side of my neck and across my bare shoulder. I feel butterflies take flight in my stomach as he kisses his way back up and whispers sweet nothings in my ear.
I never thought I’d see the day when the man of my dreams would become the man of my reality, and that one day he would ask me to be his wife. I couldn’t be happier than I am right now. I probably have a grin on my face that would rival that of the Cheshire Cat.
