His throaty chuckle consumes me before the lights dim and the movie begins. He intertwines his fingers with mine as we watch the scenes unfold in front of us. When the first sex scene comes up on the screen, I bury my head in his shoulder. I remember clear as day filming this scene, and a dull ache forms between my legs. I cross them and squeeze my thighs tighter. He kisses my head, and his body vibrates as he laughs as he watches me shift.
This movie needs to end already!
After about two hours, the lights come up and we’re free to go. Sam and Tait left before the movie ended, and I wish we had done the same. All eyes are on us, and a few people have tossed winks or thumbs up in our direction. I’ll pretend it’s because the movie was so amazing, and not because we had sex several times on screen.
Caleb and Quinn’s car arrives first, and I hug her tightly before she slides into the car. She promises me she will stop by soon so we can get moving on her wedding plans; after all, I am the maid of honor for the event. She’s told me I can have free rein on designing, and I already have ideas floating around in my head.
We slide into the back of our car, and Brad puts the divider up, encasing us in our own private cocoon.
He hovers his lips over mine. “You were such a good girl tonight, Elle. Good girls get surprises.”
“Oh, yeah? What kind of surprise?” The smile hasn’t left my face.
“Only the best kind.” He takes my hand and places it over his bulge. “Watching us on screen was like watching the movies we’ve made together. I wanted to press you over a chair and have my way with you, but I couldn’t. Plus, knowing you have nothing on under that monster dress kept me like this most of the night.
“You’re going to ride me until you come, and you’re going to stay quiet. If not,” he pulls my panties out of his pocket, “I’ll be forced to make you stay quiet. Understand?”
I nod and gather my skirts around my waist as he pulls himself free. The pure lust in his eyes has me wet in seconds, and I sink down on him, letting my head fall back in pleasure. I know we don’t have that long before we’re home, so this has to be fast. I reach my hand down between my legs to help get me there as he holds my hips.
I moan and ride him faster, wanting to get there so he can finish, too.
“I told you to be quiet, naughty girl.”
He stuffs my panties in my mouth and clamps his hand over it, muffling my sounds. I tap his shoulder so he knows I’m about to come, and he thrusts up into me, chasing his release. I lay my head on his shoulder, letting my heart rate return to normal, then pull my panties out of my mouth. We fix our clothes, and when the driver pulls up, get out as if nothing happened.
We shower and change into pajamas, getting comfortable in bed. “Better get to bed. We have to be up early tomorrow. I’m taking you on a hike.”

We go backto Escondido Canyon Trail and Waterfalls from time to time, so I’m thrilled when he chose this one. It’s still early, and there aren’t a lot of cars in the lot. We hike to the upper falls, and he is a few feet in front of me. When I finally reach the landing, Brad is down on one knee in front of me, holding a beautiful ring. I place my hands over my mouth as my eyes water and my emotions take a hold of me.
“Elena Bethany Conners, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”
“So, that’s where it was hiding,” I murmur only loud enough for the wind to carry my words away.
“Huh?” He tilts his head to the side and laughs.
“Yes! A thousand times yes, Bradley!”
He stands and slides the platinum sapphire and diamond ring on my finger. I wrap my arms around his neck, playing with the short hairs under my fingertips, and pull him toward me for kiss.
“You were snooping last night, weren’t you?” he asks as his lips are pressed against mine.
I giggle and pull back, shaking my head. “No. The box fell out of your pants pocket when I was trying to find my purse. Not my fault you tossed them on top of my bag. Although, I wondered why it was empty.”
“Remind me to give you a spanking when we get home for looking through the box.” He pulls me back to him for a knee buckling kiss.
Tonight, tomorrow, and forever. He’s mine.
