Hunks Pulled Over (18 page)

“Well, I guess I have to do something to prove to you how serious I am about you.” Easing his hand away from her, Chance took a step back and then got down on one knee.

Gasping, Emerald’s hands shot up to her mouth as tears poured down her face. “What are you doing?”

“If you don’t know then we both are in a lot of trouble,” Chance laughed as he pulled a ring box from his pocket. “How about you let me give this a try and see what happens, okay?”

Too choked up by her tears all Emerald could do was nod. She couldn’t believe this was happening to her.

“Emerald, for the longest time I was living my life like it was a race. I wanted to move faster and faster because I thought the world was going to pass me by. I never knew the reason I was like that until you came in my life.

“I was looking for something that wasn’t there and when I didn’t find it I rushed on to another woman hoping she might have the uniqueness I needed in my life. However, they never did until I walked into the medical examiner’s office and saw you standing there.

“Sweetheart, all other women left my mind when you looked at me. I’m so sorry. I hurt you when I was younger, but please find it in your heart to forgive me and become my wife. I love you more than anything in the world.”

Flipping open the black box, Chance revealed a huge oval cut ring with tiny diamonds around the side. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid her eyes on. Emerald could barely get her mouth open to give Chance an answer.

“Yes, I’ll marry you,” she whispered as she lowered her hands. “You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

Emerald blinked back tears as Chance removed the ring from the box and slipped it onto her finger. “It’s so beautiful,” she whispered, staring down at the sparkling ring on her finger.

“No, you’re the beautiful one.” Standing up, Chance brushed her tears away with the pad of his thumbs. “I’m just glad you’re heart was open enough to look over my past sins to the man I’ve become.”

Pulling Chance’s head down to her, Emerald brushed her mouth across his. “I didn’t know it back in college, but I know now that you are the love of my life and I can’t imagine another moment without you.”

Recapturing her mouth with his, Chance gave her a kiss filled with love and promise of a future together that she only thought happened in fairy tales or the movies. Emerald had found her hunk years ago, but she didn’t realize it until now.
