t the bag down and walked outside. Rob had a screened in patio that we ate dinner in a lot and it was gorgeous tonight. There were vases of light colored roses placed on the tables and it smelled beautiful, something like vanilla in addition to the fragrance of the flowers. “Rob?” I called out as I looked around.
He didn’t answer and I walked to the door to look into the backyard. He was by the barbeque making something and I licked my lips at the sight of him. He was more gorgeous every time I looked at him and I just stared for a few minutes.
He must have felt my gaze because he turned towards me and grinned. “Hey, baby.”
“Are you trying to burn down the house in here?” I teased him as he shrugged and pulled something from the grill.
“I thought we’d have a romantic dinner tonight. It’s the weekend and you have it off, for a change.” He approached me with a big plate of meat and vegetables, leaning over to brush his lips against mine briefly.
We finally had a weekend off. The girls were great at the cafe and since Noel baked for the next couple of days, we decided to relax. There were no real plans yet but I could just stay in bed with Rob all weekend and be completely content. I watched as he went into the house to plate the food and carry it out to the patio. I grabbed a bottle of wine from the fridge and opened it, pouring two glasses. I joined him and took another look at the room as I placed the glasses on the table.
Rob pulled my seat out for me, kissing me when I approached him. There was something different in this kiss, something more urgent and it took my breath away. I was just melting into him when he pulled away, his eyes dark and hungry. “Let’s eat.”
I licked my lips that were still tingling and nodded, taking my seat. The sun was starting to set and we could see it well from where we were, so I sat down and looked at my plate. He’d fixed some salmon and grilled broccoli, along with a fresh salad. “This looks so good.”
“I want to get some practice in for the summer. With your folks moving here and mine visiting, we’ll be doing a lot of entertaining.” He smiled and I gazed at him. I picked up my fork and broke off a piece of the fish, moaning as I tasted it. “Good?”
“Amazing,” I replied as I grinned. “You can be my personal chef anytime, handsome.”
“I’d like to be more than that,” he said as I blinked at him, still chewing the fish.
“What do you mean?” I asked as I stared at him.
Rob cleared his throat and stood up slowly, moving to drop down before me. He stared into my eyes as he reached out to take my hands. “Molly, I have gone through my entire life at the speed of light. I was only focused on work and getting ahead to reach the end, and I never let anyone inside. I never thought that moving here would change all of that, but the morning I walked into the cafe and saw you…everything changed. I think I fell in love that day but I was so unsure. I didn’t think we’d make it or that I was good enough for you.” I sucked in my breath as he stayed there. Understanding was setting in and I felt my heart begin to pound. “Will you give me the rest of your life so I can love you? Will you marry me?”
“Rob,” I whispered as tears slid down my cheeks. “Yes, I want to marry you so badly. I love you so much.” He stood up and pulled me into his arms tightly, holding me as I cried happily.
“I was going to wait until after dinner and take you outside when the sun was just going down over the horizon, but I couldn’t wait.” I laughed and looked at him as he pressed a kiss to my lips. He reached into the pocket of his slacks and revealed a beautiful ring with a delicate stone in the center and tiny diamonds on the band, taking my left-hand to slip it on.
“It’s so pretty,” I said, appreciating the candlelight as the ring shimmered in the warm glow. “Thank you.”
“Let’s eat because we’re going to Marta’s for dessert. Just a random thing,” he joked as I laughed and wrapped my arms around him.
“Everyone knew but me?” I guessed as he nodded and kissed me softly.
We stayed there for a long time and ate cold food, but it didn’t matter. I was going to marry him and live my life with Rob, the man of my dreams.
The End
Deleted Scene 1: The forest
I walked through the forest with Rob in the morning, not up for a run. I’d heard so much about what he called beautiful backyard and wanted to see it for myself, since I had the morning off. It really was gorgeous and I looked over the meadow with a hundred types of wildflowers as he walked ahead of me, looking around.
Rob turned and came back to me, pulling me into his arms for a deep kiss as I moaned. The sun was warm as it beat down on us and my skin responded to him easily, my thighs aching with need as his tongue swept against mine. “C’mere,” he said as he walked backwards, kissing me again. I laughed and followed him through the trees to a soft blanket that was spread out on the ground and I realized why he dashed out of the house earlier, claiming that he was getting something out of the car. Rob walked right to the center of it and dropped down on his back, pulling me over him. I wore a skirt today since it was already so warm, and the hard ridge of his jeans brushed against my clit as I bit my lips.
“Are we alone out here?” I asked as he nodded.
“I’ve never seen anybody out here on any of my runs.” He reached up and pulled my head down to kiss me firmly, his hand sliding into my hair. “I’ve always thought of us out here, in nature doing what the animals do.”
“Oh, my God. You’re terrible,” I said before he kissed me again, claiming my mouth this time. His tongue slipped between my lips and I pressed against him and forgot all about where we were.
Rob kissed me senseless and I felt him roll me onto my back, so he was between my legs and kissing my neck. I spread my thighs open, feeling the breeze on my legs as the skirt rose. Rob drew my skin between his teeth as I cried out, thrusting my body up against him. I wanted him and I didn’t care where we were.
Rob unbuttoned my shirt and tugged the cup to my bra down, sucking a nipple into his mouth before he slid a hand between my legs. He moved aside the material to my underwear and stroked my clit as I fought the urge to scream. “Rob,” I moaned as he slid a finger inside of me and curled it, still teasing my swollen nub. He knew that this would make me come and I dropped my head back.
Birds chirped around us and I blinked as he dragged his finger against my sensitive spot. Oh, fuck. I was already so close to the edge and as he pressed my clit I shook with my release. Rob eased his finger out of me and told me to get on my knees, and I reached up for him to help me.
Once I was positioned and ready for him, Rob smacked my ass making me jerk forward. I cried out, losing all my inhibitions as he pressed his cock into me and gripped my hips. “I am going to fuck you now, Molly.”
