KANDY

It’s been eight weeks since Cane and I got back from Belize

Eight weeks since I screamed the word “Yes!” while Cane was perched on one knee in front of me

As a little girl, I used to dream about hoould ask me Of course, back then I was delusional, and he had no idea that I loved him so deeply, but still—I alondered how the Quinton Cane would ask a woman to marry him

Would heto one knee? Would he look her in the eyes? Would he say so deep and sweet, or quick and simple?

I got the answers to all of those questions that night in Belize, and it was one of the best moments we’ve ever shared

“Things like touching you here,” he said, his lips above mine

“What else?”

He adjusted his body higher, sliding two fingers inside ers,” he rasped onyour wet pussy come all over them”
