“My
mom wants you to come for Christmas,” he said as he ran his finger up and down
my arm.

“I
would love that; I miss your family.”

“I
talked to Peyton and if it’s ok with you, we’re going to spend Christmas Eve
with her and Henry and then Christmas day at my mom and dads, unless you have
other plans?”

“That
sounds perfect to me and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

It
was the day before Christmas Eve and we were heading back to New York first
thing the next morning. I got out of bed and started a pot of coffee. Connor
emerged from the bedroom with his hand behind his back.

 “What
are you hiding Mr. Black?”

He
smiled and kissed me on the lips, “A present for you.” He handed me the
beautiful white box with a pink satin bow. I opened it and pulled out a
beautiful white, spaghetti strap sundress.

“Oh
Connor, it’s beautiful,” I smiled as I held it up to me.

“You’re
going to wear that tonight for dinner.”

I
cocked my head to the side, “You’re taking me to dinner?”

“Don’t
I always? But tonight will be our last dinner in California for a while so I
wanted to make it special.”

I
put the dress down and wrapped my arms around his neck, “Thank you, I love it.”
It didn’t take long before he picked me up and carried back to the bedroom for
our routine morning lovemaking.

We
walked out the door and there was a Limo waiting for us.

“A
Limo? How classy Mr. Black.”

 He
smiled and opened the door. I slid in and gasped when I looked at the driver,
“Denny what are you doing here?”

He
turned and looked at me with a smile. “It’s good to see you Ellery.”

Connor
slid in next to me and shut the door. “Why is Denny driving us in California?”
Connor just smiled.

“I
need to blindfold you.”

I
looked at him and smiled, “Don’t you think that’s a little kinky with Denny
here?”

He
lightly laughed and shook his head, “Trust me, we will be using this in the
bedroom, but for now, where I’m taking you is a surprise and I don’t want you
to know till we get there.” He took out a black cloth and put it over my eyes.

 “Are
you ok?”

“Except
for being incredibly turned on, yes.”

The
limo stopped and Connor took my hand and helped me out. He stopped and told me
to take off my shoes. My heart was racing a mile a minute with excitement. As
soon as my feet touched the sand, I stopped and listened as the waves crashed
to the shore. Connor reached over and took off the blindfold.

“I’m
guessing you know where we are.”

I
stood there; my feet softened by the sand as I look out and see a white canopy
sitting in the middle of the beach.

 “Is
it just us here tonight?” I asked.

Connor
smiled as he kissed me softly on the cheek, “Yes baby, I rented out the entire
beach for us.”

He
took my hand and led me down the beach to the white canopy. Inside the canopy
sat a round table draped in white linen, white roses and two chairs covered in
white fabric. I was speechless at the beauty of it all. The best part was that
the sun was going to set soon and we’d be here to watch it.

“Connor,
how and when did you do all this?”

“Do
you like it?”

“I
love it, you are so amazing.”

“Dinner
will be here soon, so I thought we could take a walk along the water.”

 He
took my hand as we walked along the edge of the shoreline; the water hitting
our feet. He stopped and pointed to the sky, “Look the sun is starting to set.”
I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort at that moment. Connor took
my hands and held them as he faced me taking in a deep breath.

“Ellery,
from the moment I saw you I knew instantly I needed you in my life and I set
out to make sure that happened. You kept calling me a stalker and you were
right, I did stalk you, but for good reason.”

I
smiled as he continued. “You are different from anyone I have ever met. You’re
strong, kind, good-hearted, forgiving and loving. And you’re also stubborn, a
smart ass and very independent and that’s everything I love about you. You have
certainly given me a run for my money since I’ve met you. You’ve challenged me
and brought out a man I thought I never could be. You’ve shown me things I
never would have seen if you weren’t in my life. You have filled the void in my
heart and soul that I never knew existed until you weren’t by my side.” Tears
started to fall down my face.

“I
was simply a man with no meaning until I met you and I’m proud of whom I’ve
become because of you. We have been through a lot together and we will continue
to go through a lot, but we’ll conquer whatever life throws our way. I want to
thank you for being my best friend and my lover.”

Suddenly
he got down on one knee and pulled a small velvet box from his pocket. The
tears wouldn’t stop flowing down my face. “I want to be more than just your
lover, I want to be your happily ever after, your best friend, your husband and
I want you for my wife; will you marry me Ellery Lane?” He opened the box and
took out the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.

I
looked at him, crying as I shook my head, “Yes Connor, I will marry you.”

He
put the ring on my finger and stood up, hugging me and twirling me around. We
kissed passionately and then looked up at the sunset.

 “I
wanted to do this here because I figured you’d want your mom to be here with
us.”

I
was touched in so many ways by this man. We stood and watched the sunset over
the ocean waters wrapped around each other and never wanting to let go.

He
led me back to the table as we ate dinner and talked. “I saw the tape your mom
made for you; last night when we got back from the club and I slept on the
couch. I turned the TV on and it was playing. That had to be so hard for you
watch.”

“It
was at first, but then it was comforting at the same time. It was amazing to
see her and I regret not getting the contents of that safe deposit box sooner.”

I
kept looking at my ring that gracefully sat on my finger. It was a 4 carat
platinum princess cut diamond with smaller diamonds going down the band.

“A
beautiful ring for a beautiful woman,” he smiled.

He
stood up and took my hand and led me a large white tent that was filled with
fluffy pillows and blankets.

A
huge grin crossed my face, “Sex on the beach?”

He
shook his head, “Yes, sex on the beach.”

He
walked over to me and slid the spaghetti straps off my shoulders allowing my
entire dress to fall at my feet. I stood there in only my white lace panties as
his tongue traveled across my neck and up my jaw line before meeting my mouth
with his.

“I
want to make love to you all night, first here and then at home in every room.
When you walk tomorrow you’ll be reminded of our passionate night, one I never
want you to forget.”

I
braced myself for the amazing hot sex that was about to take place. After all
it has been a while and I craved him like chocolate. He laid me down on the
soft pillow and watched me as he took off his shirt and removed his pants and
boxers. Every time I look at him it amazes me how blessed this man was in the
“goods” department. He bent down and laid on his side propped up on his elbow
as he softly stroked my breasts, paying special attention to each hardened
nipple as he twisted them in his fingers. I ran my hand through his hair and
brought his head closer for a kiss. Our lips grew hot as our tongues were
reunited with each other. With finesse, he moved his hand up and down my torso and
into my lace panties feeling my wetness and my ache for him.

“Christ
you are so wet,” he moaned. His lips broke from mine as he kissed each breast,
making his way down to my belly button and kissing me softly inside my inner
thighs. He gently inserted his finger in me and feeling the wetness before
inserting another. I gasped at the pleasure and arched my back for him to go
deeper. His tongue ran circles around my swollen area forcing me to release my
pleasure to him. He quickly placed his mouth where his fingers had been,
sucking lightly and licking every sensitive area. My heart was beating rapidly
as his erotic moves were scorching my skin. He brought his mouth up to mine
giving me a taste of what he loves so much. I reached down and took him in my
hand, stroking the length of him with long soft strokes. Groans came from the
back of this throat as his mouth was lightly licking behind my ear.

“Connor
I need you inside me now, please I need to feel you.” He moaned and before I
knew it I was flipped on my stomach as he entered me slowly from behind.

Is
this how you want me?” he asked.

“Yes,”
I whispered.

He
sat up and moved fluently in and out of me. He reached his hands around and
grabbed my breasts, squeezing them and pinching at each nipple before moving
his hand down and rubbing my aching spot.

“Don’t
come yet baby, I need you to come with me.”

“Harder
Connor, fuck me harder, right now!” I demanded.

I
was never usually that vocal, but something inside me snapped and I wanted him
hard and fast. He took in a sharp breath as he moved faster in and out of me.
He was bringing me to orgasm quickly as I screamed his name and we both felt
each other’s release. “Fuck,” he said as he pushed himself deeper into me
releasing all his pleasure into my body. He proceeded to kiss up and down my
back before collapsing on me. I could feel his heart rapidly beating as he was
trying to catch his breath. I wrapped my arms around his neck and stroked his
hair.

“I
love you,” I whispered.

“I
love you to Ellery.”

We
spent a couple of more hours in the tent, drinking wine and talking. Then as
promised, we made love in every room back at my apartment.

Chapter 43

 

Before
we left for New York, we stopped by Mason and Landon’s apartment so I could
give them their gifts and show off my gorgeous ring. They made us some Mimosas
and an elegant breakfast before we headed to Connors plane. Denny was there
sitting in a seat when we arrived. I ran to him and gave him a hug.

 “You
knew didn’t you?”

 He
smiled and kissed me on the cheek, “Of course I knew and congratulations.” We
arrived in New York and back to Connors penthouse.

The
Christmas holiday was beautiful and well spent with family and friends. Connor
and I spent New Year’s Eve hosting a party at the Waldorf Hotel with about 200
people. We rented a room for the night and made passionate love. He wrapped his
arms around me as I laid my head on his chest.

“What’s
wrong babe?” he asked.

I
looked up at him, “Nothing, what makes you think something is wrong?”

He
lightly smiled and ran his finger across my lips, “I can tell when something is
bothering you.” I sighed and laid my head back down.

“Talk
to me Ellery; tell me what’s on your mind.”

I
ran my hand lightly across his chest, “What if this trial program doesn’t help
me?”

“It
will help you.”

I
sat up and turned towards the edge of the bed letting my feet hit the floor.

“You
can’t be so sure of that Connor.”

He
sat up and clasped his hands on my shoulders, “I can be sure because I have
faith Ellery. It’s a new year and a new beginning for us, for our future, and
nothing is going to take that away. You will get better and we’ll be married
and have the rest of our lives in front of us.”

I
wasn’t so sure and I was scared. “There’s something I want to talk to you
about.” The seriousness of his tone made me uneasy. I turned to face him as he
pushed my hair behind my ear.

“I’ve
made an appointment with my doctor to have my vasectomy reversed.”

My
eyes grew wide. “What? Connor, no you can’t.”

He
looked at me with a surprised look. “Listen to me; I want this because I want a
family with you and if we can have our own child that would be amazing. I’m not
saying it will work, but there’s a 50/50 chance and I think we should try it.”

I
sighed. “But my genes suck and you know it.”

He
laughed and planted a kiss on my forehead, “Your genes are beautiful.” I smiled
as he took me in his arms.

“I’m
just scared.”

“Don’t
worry baby, everything will be fine, I promise.”

We
stayed in New York for a couple more weeks so Connor could tie up some business
deals then headed back to California for my last round of injections.

“Well,
this is it Ellery, are you ready?” Dr. Murphy asked.

“As
ready as I’ll ever be,” I smiled.

 Connor
took a hold of my hands and planted them firmly against his shirt. I smiled as
my hands began clutching the fabric with each burning injection.
