The elevator doors closed and I turned to Walker. He pulled me to him and said, “You didn’t know a famous singer was fixin’ to rock your world tonight, did you?”

I laughed and pushed his chest. “That was terrible, Walker Reed Moore. Your parents would smack you upside the head if they knew you just did that.”

Walker threw his head back and laughed. “Nah, Dad would high five my ass right now, and you know it.”

He leaned down and picked me up as the elevator doors opened into a small hallway. Walker walked up to the door and placed the key card in front of it. He pushed it open and we walked into a massive room.

We both whispered, “Holy shit.”

Walker slid me down and placed me on the tile floor. Looking around, there was nothing but windows. The view over Austin was amazing. I walked around the room. It had a contemporary Texas décor. The dark wood and white crown molding added to the elegant feel. There was a flat screen against the wall that separated the living room from the bedroom. I went into the bathroom and gasped. It was the most luxurious bathroom I’d ever seen. The granite vanity was huge, and it included a lighted makeup area. When I saw the oversized, walk-in shower, I pictured Walker taking me up against the tile wall. One more slight turn had me staring at the biggest soaking tub I’d ever seen. You could fit at least four people in it and still have extra room.

I walked into the bedroom. Walker was still standing at the windows, naming all the places he could see from where he stood. I smiled when I saw the giant, king-size bed. When I pulled back the beige comforter, the silk sheets made me moan.

“You can see everything from up here!” Walker called out.

Giggling, I rolled my eyes. I stripped out of my clothes and put them on a chair that was tucked away in the corner of the room. Pulling my hair out of my ponytail, I let it fall over my shoulders. I placed my hands on my stomach and whispered, “Okay baby girl, you’ve been good and not made mommy sick all day. Keep it going, okay?”

Walking into the living room, I saw Walker still peering out the window. I leaned against the doorjamb and cleared my throat.

When Walker turned around, his mouth dropped open and his eyes roamed over my body. He swallowed and whispered, “My God…you’re so beautiful.”

I peeked over at the bag Walker had carried up with us and blushed. I asked, “Are you going to show me what’s in the bag or do I have to beg?”

MY HEART HAD never beat so fast in my life as I looked at Liza standing before me naked. Her carrying our child made her already beautiful body even more beautiful. I wanted to be buried so deep inside her that she’d feel me for the next few days.

I looked inside the bag. The handcuffs were right on top, but what caught my eye was the blue velvet jewelry box. I smiled and turned my back to Liza as I pulled the handcuffs out along with the box. I pushed the box into my pocket and turned around, holding handcuffs. When Liza licked her lips, my dick jumped. When she’d hinted to wanting to play more in the bedroom, I’d known exactly what I wanted to do. Tonight was going to be a learning experience for both of us.

Liza’s eyes were filled with desire as I started to make my way closer to her. She bit her lip so hard I could see it turning white. Stopping right in front of her, I reached up and pulled her lip from her teeth.

“The only person who is going to bite that lip tonight is me,” I said.

Liza closed her eyes and moaned. I placed my hand on her cheek and pulled her closer to me, bringing her lips to mine. The moment our lips touched, our bodies ignited, and our kiss quickly turned passionate. We couldn’t get enough of each other. Our tongues danced in circles as we let out one moan after another.

I whispered against her lips, “I’m going to make you come so hard you’ll be screaming my name.”

Her chest was already heaving from our kiss. She was practically panting. “Yes, please,” she whispered back as she licked her lips.

I took a step back and took off my T-shirt, slipping it over her head. She gave me a confused look. I laughed and said, “I can’t concentrate with you naked.

My T-shirt fell to the middle of her thighs—it had to be the hottest damn thing I’d ever seen. I took her hand, leading her onto the balcony. The view of the Colorado River was breathtaking. Liza’s hair caught the wind and her eyes were even bluer against the sky.

Liza gasped. “Oh wow, it’s so beautiful up here. Look at the river. It’s amazing.”

I’d set the handcuffs on the coffee table on the way out here. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out the blue box. I got down on one knee and opened the box.

“Wh—what are you doing?” she asked as her eyes filled with tears. She placed one had on her stomach and the other over her mouth.

Swallowing hard, I started to speak. As soon as my mouth opened I completely forgot everything I was going to say. I shut my mouth and closed my eyes. Shit. Shit. Shit. I’d had this whole thing planned out.

Opening my eyes, I looked up at her. “Liza, I had this whole speech planned to tell you how much I love you and how I can’t wait to be your husband. I was going to tell you how much I’m looking forward to being a father, and watching your stomach grow bigger. I wanted to tell you I can’t wait to watch our children grow up. To sit on the porch and watch the sunsets together every night for the rest of our lives. But my mind has gone blank.”

She giggled and wiped her tears away. “Walker, you just said it all.”

I made a face and laughed. “Yeah, I guess I did. I wanted to make this special for you, but all I really want…is you, Liza. I know I’ve already asked you once. But, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

A sob escaped Liza’s lips and she nodded her head quickly. I took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger.

Liza was about to say something when she stopped. She shook her head. “Oh God. Oh…oh…not now, baby girl.” She pulled her hand from mine and covered her mouth.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

She began pushing me away but I grabbed onto her. “Liza, what’s wrong.”

“I need…to…”

She tried to push past me, but I brought her in my arms. She looked pale. “You’re scaring me, Liza. What’s wrong?”

“Walker, please, let me go I need…”

Her eyes filled with tears. Oh God. Is she regretting saying “yes” to me? I let go of her as she slid the door open and ran into the room. I followed her as she dashed into the bathroom. I grabbed her before she got in there and spun her around. I was just about to beg her to tell me what was wrong when she threw up all over me.
