He pressed me up against the cool tile wall and my legs gave out slightly.

He kissed me hard, and I returned the favor. His hands moved down my body, stroking me. He started to build me up again. But before I could return the favor he stopped kissing me.

I looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”

“I need something.”

I reached down to stroke him.

“No, not that.”

“Okay…?” I dragged the word out.

“I want to give you a gift.”

“Right now?” We were soaking wet. Unless he planned on giving me a used shampoo bottle, there was no way he could give me anything at that point.

He placed his hands on my shoulder. “I wanted to thank you for the collage you gave me yesterday. So, my gift is in my sock drawer.”

“You want me to go get it right now?” I asked.

“Would you?”

I stared at him, incredulous. But he was serious.

I moved the glass door aside and stepped out onto the mat. The cool air struck my naked, wet body. I shivered, but I didn’t want him to see how upset I was. What the hell did he need right that second? Did he have a special soap he wanted to give me? Why couldn’t he get it himself?

I shoved my dripping wet hair over my shoulder, and the slapping sound mixed with the river of water running down my back made me cringe.

I opened the drawer, expecting something to come out at me right away. Instead, the only thing I saw other than socks was a small black velvet box. My hand hovered over it, but I didn’t touch it. My breathing stalled and when my brain caught up again, I sucked in a sharp breath through my teeth.

“Sienna?” Parker called from the bathroom. “Did you find it?”

“Yeah!” I called back and scooped up the box in my hands. I carefully held it out in front of me. Was this what I thought it was? My body buzzed with a mix of terror and excitement.

I walked back into the bathroom and Parker was standing in the shower with the door open, staring at me.

“I’ve been carrying this around since the first week we got together, wanting to find the right moment to ask you….”

My heart started to race like the beating wings of a hummingbird.

“But I realized, every moment is special with you. And I don’t want any other barrier between us. I want you, Sienna. For the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”

My jaw dropped open as I lifted the top of the box. Inside was the biggest diamond ring I’d ever seen. “Parker. Oh my god. Wow.”

“Is that a yes?”

I lifted the ring from the box and held it between my fingers. It was the most beautiful piece of jewelry I’d ever seen.

“Sienna?” he said.

I placed the ring back in the box then put it down on the counter. I got back into the shower and reached up to hold onto his shoulders. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist so we were eye-to-eye. “Yes, Parker. I will marry you.”

I pecked his lips and then wriggled out of his grasp so I could stand next to him, feeling how well our bodies molded together. The heat of the water felt so good against my skin. Tingles rippled down my spine.

Parker held me against him and we held onto each other, sealing this moment for the rest of our lives.

He chuckled, the sound vibrated in his chest.
