Chapter 38: Yes!
Liz
I can’t begin to describe how happy I am to be here with Zander. I love that he didn’t just take me to any random destination. This place is special to him and his family. And I am honored
to be here with him.
The villa is absolutely breathtaking, and it has an uninterrupted view of the ocean, I can see myself retiring in a place like this. Zander shows me around the villa, and the more I see, the
more I love it here. We dropped our bags in our room, before we went for a walk, so he could
show me the grounds.
“This place is amazing, Zander. I can’t wait to explore the town.” I said while we walked along
the beach, holding hands and he smiled. “I am really glad you like it. We can start e exploring
tomorrow. Tonight, we can dine in.” He says and I nod. “Ooh, I didn’t give you your gift.” I say.
“You can give it to me later. Let’s just enjoy the day, that’s the best gift.” He says and kisses
me softly. When we were done with our stroll, we headed back to the villa. “Why don’t you take
a nice relaxing soak in the tub before dinner? You must be tired from the flight,” Zander says.
“I am actually tired, and a soak will help. Do you need any help with dinner?” I asked him. “No,
I have everything covered. I will run you a bath, wait here.” he says. He goes into the bathroom
and I start packing our things away. When he comes back out, he doesn’t look happy with me.
He picks me up and throws me over his shoulder and I giggle. “Why are you working? We can
do that later.” He says and carries me to the bathroom. When he puts me down, he helps me
get undressed and get into the inviting water. “This is so romantic, thank you Zander.” I say
and he smiles.
“It’s the day for love, is it not?” he asks, and I nod and smile. The tub is filled with bubbles and
rose petals. He even lit scented candles and I saw there was a glass of champagne waiting for me too. “Are you joining me?” I asked. “In a bit, you relax first. I will be back in a few minutes.” He says and pecks my cheek before he leaves the bathroom.
I lie back and close my eyes and savor the moment. This man is so romantic and sweet. I can’t remember when I last celebrated Valentine’s Day properly. I would always cook a grand
meal for Kyle, but he always came home late. The only thing he did do, was buy me flowers. Though he always just left it on the counter and told me about it afterward.
I don’t know how long I lay there, but I felt Zander lift my foot out of the water. I open my eyes

and smile when he starts massaging my feet. “Join me.” I say. He gets undressed and gets in
opposite me and takes my other foot and massages it. “Come over here so I can massage your tense shoulders.” I say, and he chuckles and moves to sit in front of me
I massage his shoulders while he groans. “That feels so good,” he says, and I smile and continue to massage him. I made sure that he was relaxed and feeling as good as I did. When we were done, we dried off and went back to the room. I handed him the gift I bought him, and
he smiled when he saw the box. “You really didn’t need to get me anything.” He says.
“Just open it. I hope you like it,” I said. He opens it and smiles when he sees the cufflinks. I had his initials engraved on them. “It’s perfect, thank you love.” He says and kisses me softly. I
wanted to look decent for dinner, so I put on a dress. While I was getting dressed, he
disappeared for a while. When he came back, he took my hand and let me out to the veranda.
The whole area was decked out with fairy lights and lanterns, and it looked so pretty. There is a table set for two overlooking the ocean. The sun is setting soon, and I am sure it’s going to be amazing to see. “You did all this for me?” I ask and he smiles. “Why wouldn’t I?” he asks, and I can’t help but kiss his cheek. “Everything looks perfect. Did you set it up yourself?” I ask.
“I had help,” he says, smiling and holds my hands.
*Liz, I wanted to do this here, because this place has always been special to me. I know you
have been through a lot over the past few years, and you aren’t used to someone putting you and your needs first. But I need you to know that I will always put your needs above my own. I
cherish every moment we share together. I love our banter and teasing. I love your sassiness
and your sense of humor.
I love your kind heart and joyful spirit. I love coming home to you every day. I love that your
face is the last thing I see before I go to sleep, and the first thing I see when I wake up in the
morning. I want all those things for the rest of my life.” He says, looking deep into my eyes.
He doesn’t give me time to answer, as he goes down on one knee and takes a ring out of hist
pocket, and I gasp and look at him with wide eyes. I was not expecting this, though it was
inevitable. I can’t see myself spending my life with anyone but this man in front of me.
“From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew my heart had found its home. Then you
were taken away from me, and my heart just wasn’t the same. I thought it would never be
whole again. But then the stars realigned to give us this second chance. I won’t waste it,
because you are my today and all my tomorrows. I want to spend the rest of my life loving
you. Elizabeth Ferley, would you do me the extraordinary honor of becoming my wife?” he
asks.

“You are all my tomorrows too. Zander Yes, I will marry you” I said through my tears. He smiles that sexy smile 1 like, and slides the beautiful ring onto my finger. Then he gets up and pulls me into his arms and kisses me passionately. I poured all the love I could into that kiss.
need him to know how much I love him and how happy he makes me
when we break the kiss, he cups my face and rests his forehead on mine. “I love you, my Liz Thank you for being mine.” he whispers “And I love you, Zander” I whisper and close my eyes and savor this moment. “That was one hell of a proposal,” I say when he lets go of my face. and he chuckles
* just spoke from my heart and I meant every word. I can’t picture my life without you in it. If I could, I would’ve proposed to you that first day you came knocking on my door. You would’ve probably run for the hills, so I am glad I didn’t.” He says and I chuckle. “I am not so sure that I would’ve run. I would never run from you.” I say, and he smiles and kisses me softly, before he pulls out my chair and I sit down. “Who cooked?” I ask him.
“We have a chef that will stay here for the duration of our stay. I want you to relax and enjoy this break. I don’t want to see you in the kitchen at all.” He warns and I chuckle. “Don’t think because I agreed to marry you, you can boss me around.” I say teasingly. “I would never dream of bossing you around outside our bedroom.” He says with a smirk and I giggle.
I look at my hand and I can’t stop smiling. “This is a beautiful ring.” I say. “It’s a family heirloom. My mother gave it to me when I turned 21 and told me that I should give it to the woman I love. She would’ve been so happy I ended up giving it to you.” He says. “Do you think she would’ve liked me?” I ask. I really would’ve loved to meet her.
“I told her about you, and she convinced me to ask you out. She also helped me nurse my broken heart when I failed miserably.” He says chuckling. “She must’ve hated me then.” I say frowning. “No, she blamed me, and she was right. I was the only one responsible for my broken heart. I should’ve told you how I felt earlier,” he says.
“Maybe things were meant to happen this way. Maybe we were meant to meet each other later in life. When we have both grown and experienced more. It makes this time around much more special.” I say, and he smiles and nods, before he takes my hand and kisses it gently.
We enjoyed our meal and watched the sunset. It really was magical. Everything was perfect and so is Zander. When we went back inside, he led me straight to our room. He hands me a gift bag and smirks. “Your Valentine’s Day gift. If I must be honest, it’s more a gift for both of us,” he says and shrugs.
I give him a look with one eyebrow raised and he chuckles. I opened the bag and took the

contents out. A bottle of lube, a vibrator, very sexy and revealing lingerie, a blindfold and fuzzy handcuffs. I can’t help but giggle as I look at the handcuffs. “I want a redo of our time on the jet. I promise to behave this time and keep my hands to myself.” He says and I smirk.
“I think we can manage that, my fiancé,” I said. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me
fiercely. “What was that for?” I ask when we break the kiss. “I just loved to hear those words
coming from your sinful mouth,” he says. “Then I will make sure to call you my fiancé every
day until I get to call you my husband.” I say and he smiles and kisses me again.
“Let me go change into that scrap of lace you bought.” I say, and he chuckles and lets me go. I
quickly changed into the lingerie, and when I came back out of the bathroom, I saw he lit all
the pillar candles around the room. The mood in the room is really romantic and sexy, with
soft music in the background. I will be sure to give him exactly what he wants and then some.
I sauntered over to him and pushed him down on the bed. “You promised to behave, but I think
we can make use of these handcuffs.” I said. I cuff his hands to the headboard, and he allows
me to, but not before he bites on my n****e that is nearly in his face.
