“You always wore that tungsten ring.”
The black, metal band that caressed his middle finger slipped off, and he plopped it on the middle of his palm.
“I always told myself that once I’m sure that I’m ready to commit to a woman, I’d immediately move it to my ring finger,” he said.
I tilted my head in wonder as he gently raised the ring and slipped it on his ring fingers, his icy eyes never leaving mine. Oh, help me, if I was ice I’d be melting under that scorching gaze that somewhat makes me wonder how he takes up all the space in my mind.
Those blue eyes . . .
“It’s you and me,” he whispered, leaning forward until our noses nearly touched. “Just you and me against the world.”
And for a moment my world stilled. A storm could siege through, but I wouldn’t being afraid. As long as we’re holding onto each other. Would it always feel like this? Would it be as if you’ve been held and loved for thousands of years until he drops you? Would it feel like my world is ending the minute he tells me it’s not worth it?
He slipped the silver band in my ring finger, and I’ve never felt righter and surer than I do now. I want him. All of him.
“This doesn’t even show a fraction of how much I love you,” he muttered against my hair as his arms wrapped around my shoulders.
And then I woke up.
