“Yes, boss,” they both reply, making Enzo chuckle.
I move on to the fiber transceivers, stacking them on a table, and when I start unpacking the cooling fans, it suddenly goes quiet.
I glance over my shoulder, and when I notice the men file out of the room, I frown. Checking the time, I see it’s five p.m., and I pout while grumbling, “Where the hell did the day go?”
Enzo walks toward me, shaking his head. “Fine, you can work for two more hours, but then we’re going home.”
“Yasss!” I fist bump the air, then grabbing another box and opening it, I grin at him. “This isn’t work. It’s actually very relaxing.”
“I can see that. You’re even glowing.”
He leans back against the table and crosses his arms over his chest, his eyes tracking my movements as I remove more cooling fans from their boxes.
When I move to the next table, Enzo follows me and again watches as I begin unpacking fingerprint readers and biometric scanners.
The next box I pick up feels a little too light, and I frown as I open it. Seeing another smaller box inside instead of equipment, I say, “They sent me a dud.”
“Really?” Enzo asks.
I open the smaller box, then my jaw practically hits the floor as I stare at a diamond ring.
Instantly, my heart sets off at a crazy pace, and my chin begins to quiver.
“Rosie.”
I shake my head, not taking my eyes off the ring because I’m too overwhelmed and need a second to process what’s happening.
“Look at me.”
A choked-up sound escapes me as I slowly glance at Enzo, and seeing him down on one knee, sobs burst from me.
He takes the box from my hand and pulls the ring out of the velvet pillow, then grips my left hand and locks eyes with me.
“Rosie, I don’t deserve you, but I hope with all my heart you’ll give me the chance to show you how much I love you.”
I’m already nodding, and he hasn’t even asked yet, which makes an emotional smile tug at his lips as he takes a deep breath.
“I’m going to ask you properly, even if you’re already giving me your answer,” he says, his tone deeper than usual. “Because you deserve every word.”
More tears spill over my cheeks, and I nod again because I can’t stop.
“Rosellina La Rosa, you are the love of my life. I want every tomorrow I’m given to begin and end with you. I want your name bound to mine and every child we have to know they were born from a love strong enough to survive anything.”
My chest aches so badly I can hardly breathe, but I don’t look away from him.
“You’re my heart, bella mia. My peace and quiet. My calm. My sanity.” His fingers tighten around mine as he holds the ring between us. “Will you do me the honor of marrying me? I vow to be the husband you deserve and to spend the rest of my life loving you with everything I am.”
“Yes,” I cry, the word breaking out of me. “Yes, Enzo. Yes!”
He pushes his ring onto my finger, and my knees go a little numb from how perfect the proposal is.
As he rises to his full height, I fall into his arms and cling to him as his mouth takes mine in a profound kiss that seals our futures together.
Enzo lifts my feet off the floor and carries me to one of the few desks that’s not covered with equipment. When my butt hits the black-stained oak surface, he unbuttons my jeans and makes quick work of tugging them down my legs.
“We’re baptizing my command center?” I ask, grinning from ear to ear.
“That, and I need to be inside you.” His voice is rough with need as he unbuckles his belt. When he pulls the zipper down and pulls out his cock, I scoot to the edge of the desk.
Enzo remains standing a couple of steps away, and just as I’m about to ask what he’s doing, his fist moves up and down his shaft, which looks like velvet wrapped around steel and muscle.
My eyebrow slowly lifts as my lips part and heat pools in my core. There’s something very hot about watching him stroke himself.
I sit, entranced by the erotic sight, then shake my head and say, “I’m about to spontaneously combust.”
He lets out a predatory chuckle as he steps closer, and gripping my jaw, he forces my head back and takes my mouth in a filthy kiss that makes all my brain activity cease right then and there.
I groan, and desperate to feel him, I wrap my fingers around his cock and position him at my entrance.
Just like before, he keeps the thrusts short, giving me time to adjust, but actually just torturing me until needy whimpers spill from my lips.
