eyes widened, and she smiled, “Right here?”
He picked her up and carried her to the Jeep as she laughed and held tightly to his bulging biceps.
He drove t o the dorm in silence. He rubbed her hand with his the entire time. When they arrived he jumped out. He opened her door and took her hand. The ride to his floor was a silent. The elevator door opened, and they walked quickly towards his room. Tessa closed her eyes, she was worried and even for a moment thought he was going to tell her he wasn’t sure about them anymore. That he was going to fuck her and then confess that there was more that she didn’t know about Jenny or maybe even more girls. She was afraid, terrified-- that her insecurity, her weakness for him, made him look at her different, like she was no different than Sadi or any other girl that his whole life had given him whatever he needed, wanted just to have him. Afraid that he would treat her the same way he had Sadi. That for the rest of her life she was going to be hurt because like everyone, she had failed Lucas.
He sat her on the bed. He took a box out of the desk drawer, and knelt down.
“Tessa Ross I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to wake up to you every morning and go to sleep next to you every night, I want to raise a family together, and love you forever. Baby , will you marry me?”
She stared down at him and searched his eyes. She looked at his beautiful face, and his perfect lips, his green eyes that sparkled when he looked at her.
“ You’re sure? I mean …” Lucas closed his eyes and his browse knit together, “Of course I will. Yes Lucas-- I’ll marry you.”
Lucas took her face in his hand and kissed her gently. Everything about him was gentler now. His kiss, his touchy, and the way he looked at her.
He rubbed her gently spreading her as he kissed and nibbled down her throat. He gently took her nipple between his lips as his tongue teasingly licked her.
“God, I love you,” he whispered as he raised his body over hers and held himself rubbing gently against her wet warmth.
He pushed in tenderly. His teeth clenched, eyes shut tightly, breath hissing as he pushed into her over and over and over again.
When they finished he lay beside her and kissed her.
“I am the luckiest man on the planet Tessa Ross. I love you.”
Tessa laughed, “Lucas Links, you ’re so sweet, I love you.”

As they drove towards home, Tessa was looking out the window deep in thought.
“ Lucas you know you didn’t have to do that because I’m pregnant,” Tessa looked at the ring.
It was beautiful, much like the last one but bigger and shinier.
“Tessa, the ring has been in my drawer for two weeks now” he laughed. “I was going to wait until Christmas Eve or the day we moved into our new apartment, which by the way we’re going to see now.”
“Hold on wh at did you just say?”
“I found a place, that’s available on the fifteenth of December, it’s a safe neighborhood, and it is beautiful Tessa. Please don’t be mad,” he grabbed her hand.
She didn’t pull it away. S he had more than her to worry about now.
“Did you already g et it Lucas?”
“Would y ou be angry if I did?”
“I wouldn’t say angry, annoyed possibly,” she said sti ll admiring the ring and smiling. She was so happy she was wrong, he did love her and she couldn’t doubt it again—it hurt too much.

He pulled in and parked in front of a row of townhouses. He jumped out and opened the door.
“Come look , Baby,” he was so excited, like a kid on Christmas Eve.
She took his hand and couldn’t help but smile. Lucas smile was contagious and could change the wor ld, she was sure of it, it changed hers.
They walked in the front door into a small foyer. There were hardwood floors throughout, the kitchen was in the back, and straight ahead to the left was a den and the right a dining room. It was bright and new and freshly painted. Off of the kitchen was
