Drive Me Wilde (Breathless 6)

bsp; I smiled and looked around the place. It was beautiful, with acres and acres of land for as far as I could see. On a portion of that land was a house that was moderate, to say the least. I couldn’t believe his family owned this much property, but then looking at his success story, I could. He walked around to the back of his motorcycle and pulled out a basket.

“I hope you’re hungry,” he said, laughing.

I shook my head, total disbelief on my face. “You are way too much,” I said. I moved closer to him and wrapped my fingers around his neck. I pulled him down into a kiss and I couldn’t get any more love for him if I tried. This was going to be an amazing date, I could just feel it.

As we ate, he pointed out various parts of his grandparent’s farm, places that he liked to hang when he was growing up. We sat on a blanket, next to a pond, where he told me that his sister taught him to swim and his mother taught him to fish. Everything was refreshing and romantic. I didn’t want the day to end.

We finished our picnic and loaded everything back up in the basket and I turned to him. “You said, you wanted to discuss something with me?” I started.

He nodded, and his face went a little solemn. I tensed up, because the look he gave me was a little unsettling. “I want to discuss your job as my babysitter.”

That came from out in left field; wasn’t exactly expecting that. “My job as your babysitter? Is something wrong?” I asked with a slight frown.

He nodded slowly. “You see, I don’t really think it’s working out. I mean, Cody likes you and all, but I just don’t think you’re babysitter material.”

I stepped back and stared at him. After such a great time, was he intentionally trying to piss me off? “I’m not babysitter material? Are you kidding me? It’s been months and, if I do say so myself, I think I’m the best darn babysitter you could ask for.” I was riled up and when I noticed his smirk that made me even more fired up. “Are you really firing me from being Cody’s babysitter?”

He shrugged. “I’m sorry, but I have to. You see…” He moved closer to me. My eyes stayed on his, even though I had half a mind to punch him. “I have a much bigger job in mind for you.”

My eyes swooped down to his lips, as they curved up into a smile. “What? I’m not following.”

He snickered and then right there on the blanket, he knelt down on one knee. “You can’t work for me as his babysitter, when I want you to be his aunt…my wife.” He reached into his pocket and retrieved a box. I narrowed my eyes to the box and stared at the beautiful diamond ring. “Will you marry me and make Cody and I the two luckiest men in the world?”

I laughed, mostly in shock from the realization, then nodded. “Wow! Of course, I’ll marry you.” He pulled the ring from the box and slipped into my hand and then stood to his feet and picked me up in his arms. He twirled me around, with me laughing as I gazed down at my engagement ring.

He put me down and my lips went to his. As it deepened, I thought about him, Cody, and how my life was about to change in so many ways. I couldn’t wait for it all to begin.
