When he rose from the depths of ecstasy, two fingers gently brushed the wet strands of hair around his face to the side.
As he opened his eyes, dark brown ones returned his gaze. “Welcome back.” Her smile was soft and... “I love you, too.” With one hand she raked his hair from his eyes. “I fell in love with you years ago when you overpaid the grandfather for the emeralds.” She waggled her finger in front of his face. “I know about the children you sent to school in America. It just made me love you even more.”
He grabbed her hand and turned it so he could see the ring. “So you like this one, do you?” He wrapped her hand in his. “Then I hope you like the diamond I bought at the same time.” He flattened her hand over his heart. “You have been right here all the time. No matter what I’ve had to do for my job, to stay alive, you were the only woman I ever wanted in my bed. Marry me, Melina. Wear the Colombian diamond I bought for you the same day I bought this one. You are like that diamond, a rare and precious find.”
“I take marriage vows very seriously.”
He understood the warning in her carefully chosen words.
“So do I.”
The embarrassment on her face told him everything he needed to know. She would never need to make him jealous again.
“Fresh start,” he suggested. “Were back in the United States and to be honest, were getting a little old for the cloak and dagger game.”
Her hopeful smile was encouraging. “I saw an opening for a South American analyst. I think I’ll talk to human resources about it on Monday. How do you feel about settling down in the D.C. area?”
“As long as it’s with you, I’ll move almost anywhere in the world…except back to Columbia.” He leaned over and kissed her. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Of course I’ll marry you.” An evil grin crossed her face. “But since my dad is long gone, you’ll have to ask Austin for my hand.”
“I’ll go ask the Pope himself if that’s what it’ll take to get you to marry me.”
