The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 53

Fifty-Two: Popping the Question

Mykayla

Dustin has been acting strange the last week. I feel like he is hiding something from me, and I am terrified of what it might be. I am getting ready in Mykenzie’s room. She and Kylani are helping me. Jordyn and Xaydyn are on the floor playing. You can tell they are cousins. They fight each other one minute and then are best friends the next. I am wearing a gorgeous sheer emerald green dress that Kylani got for me. One of them has picked my jewellery for me while the other does my hair and makeup. They finally let me look in the mirror. I can’t believe what I see. I don’t recognize myself. I want to cry, but I don’t because it would ruin my makeup.

“You look perfect,” Mykenzie says.

“Dustin is gonna be speechless when he sees you,” Kylani says.

They help me walk down the stairs, so I don’t fall. I see Dustin waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He has his back to me. I see Rye’s mouth drop open, and that’s when Dustin turns around. Damn, he looks fucking sexy in his suit. I have to say my man cleans up well. I give him a smile, and he just stands there and stares. I start to worry when he doesn’t move, but then a huge smile breaks out on his sexy face. I get to the bottom of the stairs, and he takes my hand and kisses the back of it. We walk out to the car holding hands. He opens the car door for me, and I slide into the passenger's seat. He closes the door and walks around to the driver's side. The drive to the restaurant is nice. We talk, and he never takes his hand out of mine. I am still worried that this might be our last dinner as a couple. I know we are mates, but he has been acting so secretive that I am worried that he might have decided that I am not what he wants. We pull up to the restaurant, and the valet comes and helps us. Dustin hands them the keys, and we walk into the restaurant. We are shown to our table, and he pushes my chair in after I sit. That’s when I notice that we are in a private room. We order dinner and drinks, sit there, and talk about everything. I am really starting to get nervous now. I finish dinner, and dessert is brought to our table. I don’t remember ordering dessert. I go to ask Dustin, but he is in front of me on one knee when I look up. I gasp when I realize what is going on.

“Mykayla, I knew you were the one when I saw you sitting in the cafe that day. When you walked into my office I knew I was in trouble. This last year and a half have been the best in my life. You have given me happiness and an amazing son. Would you please do me the honor of being my wife?” Dustin asks.

I can tell he is nervous. Then it hits me that this is the reason why he has been acting as he has. I look at him, and I can see he is scared of what my answer is.

“YES,” I yell.

He smiles at me and slides the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen onto my finger. I pull him into a kiss and wrap my arms around his neck. He has his hands on my hips. I break the kiss, and he gets back up and sits down in his chair. He has the biggest smile on his face. I look at the ring. The band is platinum. The centre stone is a huge diamond in a princess cut with several small emeralds running down the sides of the band. The ring sparkles as I have never seen a ring sparkle.

“Do you like it?” Dustin asks.

“I love it. It is so beautiful.” I tell him.

“Not as beautiful as you.” He says to me. I look at him and am so in love with this man.

I can’t imagine what my life would be like without him in it. I am so glad that I moved the three of us here, and I am so glad that Dimitri talked me into taking the position at Dustin’s company. I can’t even remember what my life was like before now. I was so sad for so long, and now I am beyond happy. As soon as I get my man home, I am going to get him naked and make him scream my name.

Dustin

I wake up to Mykayla’s head on my chest. We went to dinner last night, and I asked her to marry me. She said yes, thank god. I have to admit there were a few moments when I thought she would say no. It took her a while to answer, but she said she was in shock and then said yes. I look down, and I see her beautiful face. Her hand is on my chest, and I look further down, and her naked body is covered by the comforter on our bed. I lay there with my eyes closed, just taking in her being this close to me, when I feel a hand sliding down until it wraps around my half-hard dick. I let out a groan, and she started stroking me, adding a twist. This causes me to harden fully. I feel her kiss my neck, and I slide my hand down and grab her ass. I hear her let out a soft moan. I surprise her by flipping her over, so I am on top of her. I kiss her hard and deep and wrap one of my hands around her perfect breasts and give them a squeeze. She arches into the touch. I start kissing down her neck and nip at her mark. She lets out a gasp, and I can smell her arousal. I slip a hand down her sexy curves, slide one of my fingers between her slick folds, and start rubbing her clit.
