“If that’s what you want, yes.”

“It seems like we have stuff to talk about, stuff I didn’t know you’d had on your mind, but for tonight…can we just be together?”

Eden’s forehead creased when she realised what Aster was saying. Did she…think they were breaking up? Oh, God. Not in a million years. “Hey, I’m not ending this with you.”

“Really? Because it feels that way,” Aster said quietly, picking at an invisible spot on her pants.

Eden got to her feet, lowering the hidden zip to the side of her dress. When Aster looked up, confusion in her eyes, Eden simply smiled. “What I’m saying,” Eden paused as her dress gathered at her feet, “is that I want more in our future.” She curled her fingers under Aster’s chin, bringing her gaze back to her. “I want it all, Aster.”

Aster’s eyes widened when she caught the white lace lingerie Eden was wearing. Sitting back on her hands, a grin spread wide on her mouth, those dreamy eyes pricked Eden’s skin as they travelled the expanse of her body. “Y-yeah?”

“Mmhmm.” Eden straddled Aster, surprised when Aster suddenly flipped them and settled on top of her.

“Do you have any idea what you do to me when you wear lingerie like this?” Aster’s fingertips brushed Eden’s cheekbone, the gentlest of touches caressing her skin. “I mean, you’ve got my head up my arse with everything you’re saying, but you’re definitely not breaking up with me, right?”

“Never.” Eden curled her hand around Aster’s neck, pulling her into a kiss. “Aster…” Eden said, whimpering as Aster pressed her thigh between her legs. Eden lifted her head and took a swipe up Aster’s ear with her tongue. And then she whispered, “They’re crotchless.”

Aster lowered her head to Eden’s shoulder. “Sweet. Fucking. Jesus.”

“And I’m so wet for you.”

Aster lowered her hand down Eden’s stomach, her eyes fluttering closed as she was, in fact, met with hot, wet heat. “Shit, babe. You’re too much.”

Eden braced herself for what she knew was coming. Aster seemed to have a thing for her in sexy underwear. The issue was, Aster was still fully clothed, and that wouldn’t do. “I need you naked with me.”

“Oh, you’ll get me naked. Right after I’ve fucked you good.” Aster grinned, holding herself up on one elbow. When she pressed a finger to Eden’s clit, Eden cried out, arching into Aster. “I can’t wait another second to have you. And this…tonight…isn’t ending anytime soon.”

“No?” Eden smirked, her eyes holding Aster’s.

“Oh, no.” Their lips met, gentle but so demanding. “Where do you want me?”

“I-inside.” As Aster lowered her hand and teased Eden’s entrance, Eden gripped her wrist, her heart bursting with unimaginable joy. “Marry me.”

“W-what?”

“Marry me.” Eden’s heart leapt up into her throat. Perhaps right now wasn’t the time to propose. She didn’t even have a ring to offer. Shit!

Aster’s confusion turned into a heart stopping grin, her soft fingers gathering Eden’s wetness. God, that look, the intensity of Aster’s eyes as she stared down at Eden…incredible. “Yes.”

“Y-yes?”

Aster eased two fingers inside Eden, moaning when Eden’s walls contracted. “Fuck, I’d marry you right now.”

Satisfied that they would have the perfect ending to a perfect day, Eden relaxed and gave herself over to Aster entirely. But as Aster buried her face in Eden’s neck, smiling against her skin, Eden’s heart swelled. This woman…was her world.

Aster pressed her thumb to Eden’s clit, moving slowly inside her. The love, the care, was mirrored in her every move, and it only encouraged Eden’s first of many orgasms. “Aster, I-I…”

“You feel so fucking good,” Aster whispered as she curled her fingers. “And you’ll feel even better as my wife.”

Aster’s voice, her words, tipped Eden over the edge, her orgasm crashing through her as she cried out Aster’s name. Those incredible fingers slowed, and then Aster eased out, wrapping Eden up in her arms.

“I can’t believe you’ve just asked me to marry you.” Her voice broke as she buried her face deeper into Eden’s hair. “I can’t believe just how lucky I feel this evening to have someone like you in my life…wanting to spend forever with me.”

“I want a life with you,” Eden paused, her own arms wrapping around Aster. “I want a life and a family with you.”

“Yeah?” Aster lifted her head, tears slipping down her face.

“Together.” Eden searched Aster’s face, the love shining from her eyes stealing her breath.

And then Aster leaned in, kissing her slowly, their foreheads pressed together. “Forever…”
