“Sara Balfour - will you be my wife? I love you and I already love Carly too” The love once more filled her as he talked about the small girl. “I promise to be the best husband to you and the best father to her” With a strangled sob, she nodded her head, throwing herself into his arms.
“Yes...yes I love you so much” His arms held her so tightly against himself, his kiss full of the love he felt. Rising, Darius swept her into his arms, Sara chuckling as she clung to him, her mouth kissing along his jaw, feeling his smile as he strode with purpose to the bedroom.
He dropped her gently on the bed, his eyes full of desire, before he stood back “You must be tired, I should let you rest”, his voice husky. Sara rose to her feet, standing on the bed. “Yes you should”, her tone seductive, as her fingers slowly began to remove her own clothing, her eyes holding his as she removed everything, Darius clutched the end of the bed until she was finally completely naked. Pulling the bobble from the back of her head which held her long hair away from her face, she allowed it to cascade around her body, his eyes closing as a small shudder ran through him.
“I am trying to be a good and considerate fiancé here Sara”, his words strained, almost inaudible as she dropped to her knees and crawled to where he stood. Rising still on her knees, her hands slid along his shirt, her eyes flicked to his lips she moving close to him allowing the tip of her tongue to slide against the crease of his mouth. “Then be a good fiancé and make love to me”, her tone seductive. This was all he needed, as his hands wrapped around her and flipped her onto her back. “Yes ma’am...but just remember I offered to let you rest”, he laughed, stepping back slightly as she laid watching him, his hands pulling his own clothes from his body before he joined her.
As the two made love it was slow, gentle, each taking their time to tantalise and tease the other. When neither could take it any longer, Darius laid over her, his body moulding with hers, their eyes locked, the love flowing so fiercely between them as together they climaxed, each clinging to the other. Sara’s last thought as she momentarily felt the earth shift with the intensity of their orgasm had been crying his name and declaring that she loved him. Complete contentment filled her. She loved him and he loved her.
Lying in bed, the glow of happiness surrounded them both, Darius was playful, fingers entwined within her left hand, staring at her ring finger, “I wish I could whisk you away right now and find the biggest diamond so that everybody in the world knew that you are going to be my wife” Sara chuckled, her eyes meeting his so bright, “Anybody who can get adoption papers signed in one day can do anything he sets his mind to” Darius gave a return laugh, nodding sheepishly. “Well...I might have been a bit...insistent”, he admitted ruefully, Sara laughing even louder. “Oh my God...poor Board. No wonder they signed...they must have been terrified”. He pulled her back in for a kiss, such depth in his eyes. “Well...they were upsetting my future wife...and daughter” Sara smiled softly, the sound of those words once more sending electric tremors through her.
With a frown she flicked her eyes thoughtfully to the ceiling. “With everything that was going on I forgot to ask...why do you have a hotel room next door to the hospital?” Lifting himself to lean on the palm of his hand he looked down dreamily at her, his finger tracing her jaw and neck. “Because...you needed to eat and we needed to talk...somewhere quiet where we would not be interrupted but close enough that you could get back to Carly quickly if she needed you”
Sara felt her already full heart swell even further at his thoughtfulness as he added more gently, “That plus...I couldn’t sleep last night without you beside me...so I figured if I was close to you it might be better” She stared up at him, her look so full of the love she felt. “I love you Darius Garelli”, she whispered, his own lips curling as he repeated the words, “I love you” back. Looking at his watch he gave a deep sigh.
“It is getting late...we should shower and get you back to the hospital” Sara grinned, rising and moving into the bathroom, her look sensual and seductive. “Now...remind me again how you share a shower with someone...I seem to remember the last time you did I was left feeling a little...unfulfilled”. Pushing the covers from himself he grinned, “Well now, we really can’t have the lady feeling that way”, quickly reaching her as she squealed happily.
An hour later, hand-in-hand the two entered Carly’s room, the small girl still sleeping, her small hands clinging to the teddy bear Darius had bought for her. He sat down with Sara on the comfortable couch that lined one of the walls. She pulled her legs up, curling them under her as she snuggled into him, the two talking softly.
