He knelt and slipped the rings back on her waiting hand.
“I’d ask you to marry me if we weren’t already so,” he choked. “I love you so
much.”
Tears brightened her eyes. “Ask me anyway.”
“Marry me, Jocelyn? Please? Live with me forever as my wife
and a friend?”
“Of course, my darling Hugh,” she whispered, lifting him to
his feet. “A woman would have to be a fool to not to want to spend a lifetime
with you.”
They undressed each other and climbed into bed to make love
for the last time that night, sharing soft laughs and teasing until the deed
was done, leaving them tired but satisfied and content.
“Good night, my dearest Ian.”
“Sweet dreams, my lovely Bella.”
And wrapped in each other’s arms with the bells of London
faintly ringing in the distance, they slept.
Raised in the Southeastern United States, Cecily French grew
up loving books, classical music and the theater. When not writing sensuous and
erotic romance, she enjoys reading, going to the gym, taking care of her
devoted canine companions and wishing she could afford to hire a gardener. She
currently resides in Tennessee, where she works as a therapist.
