“Not now!” I hiss. The men nod in agreement, amused, but I’m serious because Randy recently introduced me to the free use lifestyle. Basically, he’s allowed to have sex with me anytime and anywhere he wants. My body’s available for his “free use” and to be honest, the fetish suits us. I’m hardly ever not in the mood, and dancing has taken his libido to new levels. My boyfriend needs it constantly these days, and I’m more than happy to provide it for him. If anything, the pregnancy makes things even hotter.
With that, the conversation continues, lighthearted and smooth. It’s great to be among such wonderful new friends, and I’m glad we even have an old friend here to round out the group. Suddenly, Randy claps his hands and we turn to him, expressions quizzical. He looks gorgeous with that chiseled physique clad only in blue swim trunks, with his black hair swept back from his bronzed features. I shiver, knowing that it all belongs to me.
But then, Randy strolls over to me, and takes my hand before dropping to one knee on the cement.
“What?” I gasp, eyes wide. “Randy?” I whisper shakily as he pulls out a beautiful diamond ring, the gem sparkling in the sunshine. His expression is serious and worshipful at once.
“Samantha Monroe, you are everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman and more,” he begins in a low tone. “We’ve been through some insane times together, including that which shall not be mentioned. But I’m crazy for you, honey, and this is the perfect time to proclaim my love in public. Will you, baby girl? Will you become Mrs. Randy Sterling and make me an honest man?”
I gasp with tears streaming down my cheeks. Just a few months ago, I had no idea what I was doing with my life, and no idea what I wanted to do with it either. Then this man came into my life and it was as if blinders were removed from my eyes. My future became clear. I want to be his. I want to be his wife, and the mother of his child. I want to have a family, and now, my newfound dream is becoming permanent.
“Yes, Randy,” I sniffle, nodding my head quickly. “Yes, yes, I’ll marry you. I would love to.”
The handsome man lets out a relieved laugh and slides the ring onto my finger before standing up to pull me in for a kiss. Everyone claps and cheers, hooting and hollering loudly as the two of us hold each other close. After all, Randy’s right: we have been on a wild ride, from our meeting by the dumpster to this latest career development. Yet I’m sure that this is what I want, and without him, it would all be pointless.
“I love you,” Randy whispers in my ear as people continue to cheer. “More than you know, sweetheart.”
I look into that brilliant blue gaze as my heart melts.
“I love you too, Randy Sterling,” I whisper in return. “You are the one for me.”
With that, our lips join ecstatically because this is how things were meant to be. Life has twists and turns, and throws you curveballs when you least expect them. But with the right person by your side, trials and tribulations can be navigated so that you come out happy, satisfied, and stronger together as a couple than ever before. I’m blessed to be with Randy Sterling, and thank my lucky stars that we met.
THE END
