His Secret Obsession
Chapter 82

(Emery)

After that whirlwind of a morning..I didn't know what to think..I feel like it was all finally hitting me as I glanced down at my engagement ring sparkling in the sun. Asher followed my gaze, his arm reaching down as he gripped my hand and lifted it up to his lips, feathering soft sweet kisses along my knuckles, making me giggle. "My fiancée is so gorgeous." He mumbled against my skin..making me giggle even more..I was helpless at this point.

I was Asher McNeal's fiancée..his freaking fiancée!! It all happened in a damn blur too but the moment he got down on one knee, I knew my answer. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, I just couldn't quite speak..which I think was freaking him out a little. But once I did..I saw the most beautiful expression fill his face..one so full of love and happiness. I will remember that look for the rest of my life because it showed me that this is just as real for him as it is for me. It showed that he meant every single word he ever said..well I guess asking me to marry him kind of displayed that too..

After everything settled down, I called my dad and told him the news. Asher apparently asked him for permission to marry me before we left and my dad said yes..so that was even more reason I felt like I made the right choice considering my dad approved. My uncle on the other hand wasn't too thrilled..he said something about a long engagement and having a getaway driver if needed..yeah, he still has some warming up to do. Carson didn't seem shocked whatsoever..I guess Asher showed him the ring and everything before they left. And I thought he couldn't keep a secret!! He did say he almost blurted it out like twelve times and thinks he might have given himself an ulcer. Poor Carson..I give him props though, I thought he would have caved. I guess if I had any inclination and asked him he might have..but I never would have guessed in a million years.

We were on our way now to the surprise Asher set up for us. He told me to wear a swimsuit and cover and I picked a pretty turquoise bikini and a black sheer coverup to go over it before twisting my hair up into a bun. My hair was down to my mid-back now and the humidity has made it even wilder..so I don't even know what to do with it half the time. After we got dressed, Asher pulled out a small bag that he had packed for us. I didn't even realize that was hiding in the closet the whole time..I'm so freaking clueless around here I swear.

Asher pulled me close to his side as we walked towards the ocean. We hadn't explored this part of the villa yet so it was all new as we passed by a couple of shops and walked down towards a dock.

I glanced up at Asher, wondering what it was he had planned as the biggest smirk pulled on his lips as he glanced over at me.

"Nope, not telling you yet..those puppy eyes won't work on me.." He declared, causing me to huff as he stopped abruptly, making me almost trip and fall flat on my face.

Before I could, he pulled my hand back and slammed me against his hard-toned chest..how does this guy stay so fit?! You should've seen him at the buffet..I'm talking plate after plate of food and then he even finishes off mine afterward..I guess his stomach matches his height.

"Baby, you are going to replace out soon enough..I already ruined one surprise..it's going to be so disappointing to tell our grandchildren we got engaged in a bathroom.." He grumbled before looking away, making me laugh as I reached up and brushed the hair out of his gorgeous eyes. How he talked so casually about our future made my stomach flip as I stared into those silver orbs.

"I like that you proposed on the whim..it felt more real..like you couldn't last another minute without me being yours." I smiled, that was how I saw it and it was so romantic..I wouldn't change a single thing..well, maybe I would put on some underwear..yeah that might have been better..but I guess I was naked two seconds later when Asher took me on the damn bathroom sink counter...

"Well, that is true..I couldn't go another minute without you wearing this ring..now everyone knows to stay away..especially that bartender from last night." He grumbled, making me roll my eyes as I wrapped my arms around Asher's waist and stared up at him. "Baby, he just asked what I wanted to order..he was doing his job." I reminded him sweetly, making Asher frown.

"Yeah if saying you are the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in spanish is in the job description I'm sure he is doing a great damn job." He hung his head, giving me just enough space to reach up and plant a kiss on his lips.

"I'm pretty sure it is in the job description, that's how they get more tips." I added, making Asher sigh before deepening the kiss, his hands reaching up and tilting my head back, granting him better access as he plunged his tongue inside of me, tasting me with a deep moan that I swallowed hungrily.

"Come, let's go, we don't want to be late." He finally said, leaving my head spinning as I gasped for air..goddamn this boy can kiss. I fought the urge to reach up and touch my now swollen lips as they tingled from his touch.

After a few more minutes of walking, we were now on the dock, and my excitement began to rise higher and higher as I looked into the water and saw dozens of tropical fish. I had never seen anything like it..they were all just swimming around the coral that resided on the bottom. I guess you can pay to feed them but Asher seemed determined to keep moving as he pulled me closer and closer to a small yacht.

"Okay my love, are you ready for the surprise?" He whispered close to my ear, making me swallow hard before nodding my head and looking at him with big eyes.

"This is where we will be sleeping tonight." He beamed, making me blink up at him as I followed his arm to see where he was motioning to..yep..he was pointing at the big a*s yacht at the end of the dock..what the hell!

"Asher! You rented a freaking yacht for us?" I blurted, feeling like this guy must be in debt at this point..seriously! I mean, I knew Asher was wealthy, but I never really guessed how much. I know his mom comes from old money but other than that I was clueless about it all. I guess it doesn't matter but I still feel guilty that he has done all of this..I have to make it up to him. I guess there is only one way to do it, and it's something we both enjoy. Oh god, I am such a pervert now.

"Yeah, I told you this would be the trip of a lifetime..I wasn't lying baby." He said in a serious tone before pulling me closer and kissing me passionately.
