Chapter 26: New Years

It's been months since David's death and even though I no longer needed a body guard Liam claimed he would always be mine and insisted I move in with him. Where he surprised me by turning one of the guest rooms into an art studio.

Erika runs the gallery for me so that I can have more time working on my own art pieces and making love to Liam who retired from field duty so that he can spend more time at home with me. But really I think he just wanted to constantly pester me to re create the clay scene from "Ghost".

Now it's New Year's Eve and the party is in full swing at the gallery. I rigged my crystal Phoenix to drop like the ball in time square for the count down.

With an hour to midnight I find Liam across the room near the stage as if sensing me his eyes lock on mine and I gesture towards my office.

By the time I reach my office door two strong hands reach around me and we almost fall through the door. Not letting go Liam uses a foot to close the door peppering the back of my neck with kisses.

Liam: Ive been wanting to get alone all night baby.

Keeping the lights dim I turn with out a word pushing him down on the couch. I unbutton his shirt trailing kissing down his bare chest to his formed washboard abs.

In seconds I have freed his long hard erection. Teasing the tip with flicks of my tongue while stroking the shaft with my hands.

Liam: oh god babe.

He moans and jerks as I take his full length into my mouth.

Just before he is about to com he lifts me quickly spinning me around and bending me over my desk throwing my black dress over my hips and ripping off my red soaked silk panties.

He runs two finger through my wetness, circling my clit before sliding up my back side. Both hands pass over my breasts freeing them form my dress and squeezing them as he plummets deep inside me.

I reach out gripping the edge of the desk. His hands follow tightening over mine pounding harder and harder till our body's are trembling with waves of our climax.

With heavy breaths he rests over top of me nipping at my ear.

Liam: you are mine and I am yours.

We freshen our selves up and re join the party with moments to spare. I Stand with Erika and Tom who started dating shortly after the job was over when David was killed.

Erika: What is he doing?

I follow Erika's gaze to see Liam heading up to the stage. The band stops abruptly and Liam takes the mic.

Liam: Willow Grayson

His eyes fix on mine as he holds out his hand. I slowly saunter my way to him through the crowd.

Once on stage Liam is looking deep into my eyes with such compassion it steels my breath away.

Liam: Willow you are the roots to my foundation, you are my heart, my soul. My world.

He goes down on one knee and pulls a small black velvet box from his pocket exposing a beautiful diamond ring.

Liam: Willow I love you more than anything , i will spend everyday for the rest of our days showing you how much.

Tears threaten to leak from his eyes and mine.

Liam: Will you Mary me.....

I eagerly nod my head holding out my trembling hand.

Willow: YES

Liam slips the perfectly fitted ring onto my finger and lifts me into a spin before crashing his lips to mine.

The world around us falls silent as the Phoenix has dropped and poppers litter everywhere bringing in the New Year.
