Harlow got the water ready and got it to the perfect temperature. She stripped down and got inside the jacuzzi, naked. She laid her head back and closed her eyes, enjoying the heat of the water against her sore area.

Antonio walked into the room, rolling a cart with him. His heart skipped a beat seeing the beauty before him with her eyes closed, relaxing in the jacuzzi. He pushed the cart over to her and stopped to open the bottle of champagne. Hearing the pop of the cork, she opened her eyes and smiled.

"Sorry it took so long; I was making sure everything was moving along smoothly around here. I also wanted to pick out the best strawberries," he said, pouring her a glass and handing it to her.

"No worries, I was just relaxing anyway."

He dipped a strawberry into the whip cream and sat down on the edge of the jacuzzi. He smiled while biting into the end of the strawberry, and leaned forward to her mouth, wanting her to take it. While biting into the strawberry, she started tingling below and as she took the strawberry from his mouth, she left behind some whip cream on her lips. He chuckled and pulled her closer to him, licking off the cream after she ate the strawberry, giving her a long passionate kiss and licking all the cream off her lips.

He stood and poured himself a glass before taking his clothes off and climbed in with her. "Ohh... this feels nice," he said as he sat next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"It does, it feels really nice."

He grabbed her glass and handed it to her, holding onto his, he clinked his glass against hers. "To us," he said smiling.

"To us," she said, smiling back. She took a sip before setting the glass back down, then looked at him and grinned. She thought he was being romantic and wasn't sure what she did to get all this attention from him.

He reached up for another strawberry and dipped it into the cream. A smile crept up his face when he turned to her and slid cream over her bottom lip, then leaned forward slowly licking off the cream. She moved over onto his lap, straddling him when he began sucking on her bottom lip, creating sparks of electricity jolting throughout her entire body.

Her kiss became more demanding, dominating his mouth. He groaned while pulling away and began devouring her neck as she tilted her head back, giving him better access and causing her insides to throb harder than ever. She tilted further back into the water while his lips moved down her body and over to her breasts, kissing and sucking her nipples.

His one hand moved behind her back lifting her back up to him, kissing her hard while massaging her breasts with his other hand. His cock was growing harder for her and the temperatures between them were also rising.

After feeling his hardness pressing against her pussy, she adjusted herself over him. A groan escaped his mouth and pulled away, biting onto her neck and feeling like an animal, he attacked it. He had to pull away to take a breather and to look at her. "You're driving me absolutely wild."

She smiled and lifted her body up, then wrapped her hand around his cock and slowly lowered herself onto him, taking him all the way in. The way she slowly took him inside her, had him gasping. "Harlow..." he moaned.

"I may not know what I'm doing, but I'll try," she said quietly, as she slowly moved up and down. She felt nervous and her heart raced faster when she started wondering if she was doing it right. All she knew was, he felt good inside her and tried her best to relax, wanting to enjoy every second of what she was doing. He could see she was concentrating hard and told her to relax.

"Let your mind go free..." he said quietly, trying to get her to relax.

He placed his hands on her hips and helped guide her. They both were new at this, both learning and were enjoying every bit of learning together. She started relaxing the more she got used to it, along with how Antonio was helping her. The more she felt relaxed, the more enjoyable it was for her and exciting her even more.

She pressed her lips against his, kissing him passionately while taking control of her movements, wanting nothing more than to satisfy him. She pulled away from his lips and moaned. She could feel her orgasm was nearing and began twitching.

She wanted him to release and moved herself harder and faster on him, after she felt him pulsating inside her. His moaning and groaning became louder, more aggressive and pulled her to his lips, kissing her hard while colliding his teeth against hers. "Oh fuck," he moaned loudly, while releasing himself.

"I never thought sex could be so fucking amazing and I couldn't imagine sharing my body with anyone else," she said, holding him tight while placing gentle kisses onto his lips. "I'm just so glad I saved myself for someone special, especially it being you."

"I have a confession to make," he said quietly, smiling as he kissed her back.

Her stomach dropped and pushed herself back to look at him, worried he lied to her. "What? You're not a virgin, are you?" she asked, sounding and looking disappointed.

"What? No..." he said, not wanting her to think he lied and cupped the side of her face, turning her towards him. "Of course, I'm not anymore," he smiled. "What I meant was, I promised myself I wasn't going to give myself up, until I knew it was with the right person, and the one..."

"Oh..." she said, feeling relieved.

"What I'm getting at is, you're that person. I can honestly see myself married to you, us having kids and being with you forever. When I first met you, I knew... I just had this crazy feeling that you're the one. The one person who I could see myself spending the rest of my life with."

She smiled, she never had anyone say such loving things to her and could feel he was being sincere and felt the love she had for him growing even stronger. She knew exactly what he was saying, because, she too was feeling the same way about him and didn't want to say anything, worried he might have thought she was the type to fall in love too easy. And here, he was the one who was confessing his love for her.

"Is it true when you meet your match, you just know? Because I feel the same way as you. It just seems so early in our relationship to confess how you really feel for one another, when we barely know the other person," she asked, looking at him curiously.

He pulled her in for a kiss, passionate, yet full of hunger. He was so in love with her, worried to tell her how truly and madly in love with her he really was. His love for her was so strong that he thought about her every minute of the day that they weren't together.

"Harlow..." he whispered, "I honestly believe when you know, you just know..." he says pausing. Here it goes he thought to himself, he just wanted her to know how he really felt and decided to finally tell her. "I love you; I love you so much, that it hurts.... never in my life have I ever said that to anyone... well, with the exception to my parents. But never have I ever, said I loved a woman, until now."

Her heart melted, hearing those words come out of his mouth, had her insides feeling as if someone lit a match inside her. She pressed her lips against his, hungrily kissing him, then pulled away to breathe and looked him in the eyes, as tears formed into hers. "I love you too, I'm just afraid this is all just a fling and that you'll be gone in no time."

He looked at her, cupping each side of her face and stared into her eyes. "Hun, I'm telling you, right now, I'm not going anywhere and I'll be there for you until the end. I'm yours forever and I can tell you right now, nobody else will ever steal my heart. If you feel that this is only a fling, I'll put a ring on that finger right now and will prove to you that I mean everything I'm saying to you."

She didn't say anything and stared deeply into his big blue eyes that were growing darker, studying him. His words hit her, melting her heart even more. She knew everything that was coming out of his mouth, he meant. She smiled and stood, pulling him up with her.

He picked her up and over the jacuzzi, placing her on the ground, then stepped out and picked her back up, carrying her over to the bed, laying her down. He climbed over her and looked her in the eyes. "I know this isn't official, and a little too early to say it, but I want to say this to you anyway.... Marry me..."

She reached her arms around him, pulling him down on her, smiling. "When the time is right and you ask me the right way, my answer will be, yes."

*******

Months have gone by since they declared their love for each other and the love they have for each other couldn't be any stronger. Antonio's business was growing bigger and was becoming one of Montana's most desired attorneys.

Antonio was in his office, going over a client's file and was beginning to get frustrated with the case when nothing was adding up and needed a break. He grabbed his phone, wanting to hear Harlow's voice and just as he was about to hit her number to call her, he pulled his finger back when he heard a knock at the door. Dammit, he muttered, setting his phone down.

"Come in," he called out.

The door opened and Ethan peeked his head in. "Are you busy?"

Antonio smiled. "No, come on in... what's up?"

"I was on my way to check out a property that's for sale and thought I would come by to see if you wanted to go check it out with me."

"Sure, I can do that. What kind of property is it?"

Ethan walked over to a chair and sat down, smiling. "It's an apartment complex, about five hundred units. An older couple owns it right now and said they've had enough and are ready to retire."

"Sure, I'm game. I need a break from this shit anyway. Nothing is adding up and if I'm going to win this case, I need to take a step away. Who knows, maybe it'll come to me later."

"I also stopped by to see what you were doing tonight."

"Why, what's going on tonight?"

"It's my birthday," he chuckled. "I'd rather hang out with you, than with my trouble making friends and I also don't feel like spending the night in jail."

"Oh yeah, your sister would have your nuts," he laughed. "I did tell you once, if you felt like drinking like that, to drink with me. At least I would make sure you wouldn't be getting arrested."

"Exactly."

"This should be fun." Antonio said, widening his eyes. "Is Harlow invited?"

"That's up to her, I'd love to see her get drunk."

"Me too, me too," Antonio said chuckling.

Antonio left with Ethan to check out the property for sale. As they looked around, the more Antonio liked the place. It was well kept and he liked seeing they kept receipts and files for everything they did to the place. When they showed him the numbers for the profits, he liked it even more and made an offer they didn't refuse.

Later that night, Harlow drove Ethan over to Antonio's. "You're getting drunk tonight." Ethan said, getting out of her vehicle.

"Oh, you think so huh?"

"Damn straight you are! It's about time you take a step back, have fun, let loose and be loose," he said, grinning ear to ear.

Harlow opened the door and walked inside with Ethan. Antonio walked over to the doorway and grinned before pulling Harlow in for a kiss. "Nice to see you, my love."

"Hey, where's mine? It's my birthday, not hers." Ethan said, pushing his way in between them and puckering out his lips.

Antonio laughed, shoving Ethan to the side "Get away from me."

Harlow smacked the top of Ethan's head and gave him a playful shove. "You just knock it off, before I start wondering about you."

"You relax, I was only trying to be funny," he said, rubbing his head with a smile.

Antonio walked them downstairs and over to a table that he had set up for them. "Not sure if you two play, but I have a pool table over there, or, we could always play cards. I'm open for anything," he looked at Ethan and nodded. "It's your birthday, you decide."

"I'll play pool, but first... let's do some shots. My goal is to get Harlow wasted," he said, looking at Harlow with an evil grin. "How about it sis?"

"My goal is, to get you wasted, so I don't have to listen to you for a while," Harlow hissed.

"Good luck with that," Ethan laughed.

Antonio poured all three of them shots, grinning as he handed one to Harlow. He himself wanted to see her drunk, since he's never witnessed her drink before, except having an occasional drink here and there.

They held their glasses together and Ethan decided to say a toast. "To the beautiful couple that are sitting beside me. Never sweat the petty things, but always pet the sweaty things."

Antonio laughed and Harlow shook her head, holding her smile back. "Jesus, Ethan," she said, before swallowing her shot. "Holy shit, that burns," she said, choking.

Ethan laughed and looked at her. "Have another one, the burning will go away," he said, looking at Antonio, chuckling. "Pour her another one."

They did a few more rounds of shots and began playing pool. Harlow's head was beginning to spin, but was determined to witness Ethan pass out before her.

It was her turn to shoot and Ethan got a chuckle at how she was holding the stick. "You better learn how to handle a stick before you disappoint Antonio," he chuckled.

"You better keep your mouth closed, before you find this stick up your ass," she grinned. She pushed her stick towards the ball, hitting the ball underneath and making the ball jump into the air, hitting Ethan on the forehead.

Her hand covered her mouth and laughed. "Oops."

"I deserved that," he said, rubbing his forehead.

Antonio laughed and walked over to Ethan looking at the red mark on his forehead. "That'll leave a mark."

"Just for that, she's doing another shot," Ethan says, grinning.

Ethan poured them another shot, which put her over the edge. She couldn't stand anymore and kept running into things. Antonio grabbed her and sat her on the couch, then laughed when she leaned back, closing her eyes. "I think she's done for."

"I knew she wouldn't last."

Ethan and Antonio finished their game and decided to sit and talk for a while. Antonio then decided to pour his heart out to Ethan about Harlow. "I have to tell you something and you'll have to promise me you won't repeat anything, especially to her."

"I promise," he said, holding his fingers up. "Scouts honor."

Antonio looked over at Harlow, making sure she was out before he said anything. "I'll be right back." Ethan says standing up "I have to use the little boy's room," he grinned.

A few minutes later, Ethan came walking down the stairs and tripped, falling down the stairs. Antonio laughed as he ran towards him. "Are you okay?"

"Yep, yep. I'm alright," he laughed. "I think that's the fastest I've moved in years."

Antonio helped him up and walked him over to the table. "Are you sure you're okay? You came down those stairs pretty fast."

"What's a couple more bruises?" Ethan laughed. "So, what were you saying?"

Antonio pulled out a box and held it in his hands. "Promise me you won't say anything."

"I swear, I won't say a thing."

Antonio placed a black box on top of the table and opened the box, showing Ethan a ring. "Awe, Antonio, you shouldn't have... Harlow will be so jealous you gave me a ring," he smirked, wanting to look at the ring.

"You putz, I ordered this a couple months back and it finally came in today. What do you think?"

"She definitely will like it, when do you plan on asking her?" He picked up the box, whistling as he looked closer at the ring.

"I haven't decided yet. But I had to show you that I'll be asking her soon, very soon."
