“Are you just going to stand there?” Alex asked without looking up from the paper in his hand.
No, she wasn’t. Fliss rushed across the room and straddled his lap, knocking aside his neat stacks of paper. She grabbed the sheet out of his hand and tossed it behind her.
He frowned at her. “I was working. You know that, right?”
“I know. Don’t be grumpy.” She nibbled his neck. “It’s eight o’clock. We’ve worked enough today. Speaking of, did I ever thank you for casting me as Farrah?”
“Pretty sure you cast yourself, but you’re welcome.”
Chuckling, she made her way to his mouth and leaned in for a soft kiss. “I have a confession to make.”
“What?”
She grinned when his hand landed on her hip and slipped under her skirt to massage her bare thigh. “You were right. About us.”
“I know.” His hand slipped higher.
“No, you misunderstand me. I’m ready.”
His hand stilled. “Ready for what?”
“For everything. I want us to be us with no reservations. No more hang-ups about not being able to predict the future. About not being able to trust my gut. You don’t have to be patient anymore.”
His hand tightened on her leg. “Do you mean that?”
“With everything in my heart. My gut has been screaming at me to listen to it for the longest time. You’re it for me. I finally realized it’s not what you say but what you do. You’ve shown me over and over how much you care about me and how much you get me and love me for me. You’re what I’ve been looking for my whole life. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’m sorry I made you wait.” She met him halfway for a lingering kiss she hoped would be the first of many.
“You’re the love of my life,” Alex murmured against her mouth. “If you let me, I’ll spend the rest of my life proving to you how much you mean to me.”
Fliss settled back on his hard thighs. “Is that a proposal?” she asked with a teasing grin.
“Yes.”
She gasped when he reached into his pants’ right pocket and pulled out a black ring box. He opened it to reveal a dazzling diamond ring.
She blinked rapidly at the stunning piece of jewelry. “You just happened to have that in your pocket?”
“No,” he said, his voice quieting. “I’m a planner. I’ve been carrying it with me every day. I was waiting for a signal that you were ready to accept it.”
Wow. Her heart leaped out of her chest and went splat right at his feet. Tears blurred her vision. “I am,” she said simply.
“Good. Felicity Marie Chambers, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife and my partner for the rest of our lives?”
She cupped his cheek, bliss cascading through every pore in her body. “Absolutely.”
She leaned in for the most perfect kiss of her life. Sweet. Passionate. Loving.
When it was over, her eyes fluttered open to find the man she loved watching her with the most carefree smile she’d ever seen on his face. She matched it with a grin of her own. “Is this the part where we agree to live happily ever after?”
“As you wish.”

MORE ROMANCES BY JAMIE WESLEY
One-On-One Series
Two radio show hosts. One show. Who will come out on top?
In a moment of restlessness, Tate Grayson sold his multimillion-dollar company and spun his love of sports into a radio talk show. Life, and love, is too short to take seriously—a fact he enjoys rubbing in uptight radio host Noelle Butler’s face.
After the death of her parents, a tragedy she blamed on herself, Noelle vowed to live a controlled, focused life. Now a psychologist, she channels her need for connection into her radio show. But when the arrogant sportscaster next door tells listeners men shouldn’t get married, she’s all too happy to yank the silver spoon out of his overprivileged mouth.
Their heated on-air arguments are a hit, but when the station director forces them to do a joint show for two weeks, Tate and Noelle object. They can’t stand each other, despite the attraction sizzling beneath every interaction. But if they can’t pull the struggling radio station back from the brink, they’ll lose their jobs. Or worse, their hearts.
