Virgin for Sale

Let them watch.

All I care about is this man. The love of my life and the future we’re going to make with each other.

“I’ve got to tell Kerry,” I say.

“She knows.”

“What?”

“I already told her I wanted to marry you, and she gave me her blessing, not that it would stop me. I fucking love you, and nothing was getting in my way.”

I can’t help but chuckle.

In a matter of minutes, I’ve gone from feeling so afraid to joyous that I’m his. I belong to him, and no one is taking him away from him.

“Your meeting,” I say, remembering we’ve got responsibilities that don’t include making out or marriage proposals.

“Make them wait. I’m kissing my fiancée, and I’d much rather be doing that than sitting with a bunch of men.”

He pushes me to the desk, and I wrap my arms around him, holding him close as his kiss consumes me.

This is what I’d been hoping for, and never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen.
