Chapter 58

I've never seen Nik look so shell shocked in my life. I can't help the chuckle that escapes me. 'Oh, so you think it's funny to shock me within an inch of my life twice in 24 hours?'

'Well now that you mention— '

I don't get to finish because he cuts me off by carrying me to our bedroom. I giggle along the way, loving being in his arms and riling him up.

We get to our room and it's no longer a cave, the electric blinds are up, and the room is brightly lit up by the beautiful orange sunset view from the balcony. Instead of throwing me on the bed like I expect him to, he deposits me softly, being careful of my head.

We're both laying on our sides and staring at each other. Me with a cheeky smile on my face and Nik with a serious expression, that has my heart thumping hard in my chest. 'Why are you looking at me like that?'

He doesn't answer me straight away. 'I'm not happy you beat me to the punchline, but as usual you like to pull the rug out from underneath me.' He shuffles around in his pocket for something, when he gets a hold of it, he pulls it out. My heart goes into overdrive; it can't be what I think it is. When he pulls out an emerald princess cut diamond ring I nearly let out a squeal. 'Nik you— '

This time Nik puts his finger to my mouth. 'Hush, if I don't get this out now I never will.'

He takes a deep breath and stares into my eyes, like he's reaching out and holding my heart. 'I love you, Jasmina Lovic. I've loved you since the first moment I met you, but I didn't want to admit it to myself because I didn't want to destroy my friendship with Stevan. But I've realised life is too short to not have you in it with me. Will you make me the happiest man alive by marrying me and being stuck with me for the rest of your life?'

I leap on him damn near choking him. 'Yes, yes, yes!'

He chuckles, 'Woman I can't breathe, release me.'

'Never, you're all mine.' I laugh like a maniac.

I get up straddling him and compose myself. I thrust out my right hand to him and stare at him expectantly, 'Well, what are you waiting for?'

For the first time, I stare in shock as Nik breaks out into laughter. I've never seen him actually laugh this much or this carefree. 'Honestly there's never a dull moment with you.' He wipes a stray tear from the corner of his eye and then slips the beautiful emerald diamond onto my ring finger.

I stare at the ring for a good while, letting the reality of it wash over me. Suddenly, Nik pulls me, and I fall toward him staring at him from his chest. 'Hey, you're not thinking of running out on me, are you?'

I raise my eyebrow at him, 'What, don't be ridiculous. You're stuck with me now.' I kiss him tenderly on the lips to drive my point home.

He grabs my bum holding me close so I can't escape. 'Good, because I've already organised to have the remainder of your stuff removed from, you're place and ready to be put into our house tomorrow.'

My mouth hangs open, I recover and smack him on the chest, 'How presumptuous of you. I could've rejected your proposal.' He stares at me like I'm full of shit, because I am.

'Now that I'm your fiancée you've gotta start consulting me before you make these big decisions.' I huff out, pretending to be mad. I can't just let him do whatever he wants and go unchecked, even if I'm secretly happy.

He rolls his eyes.

'Hey that's ru— '

He cuts me off with a deep and passionate kiss. I'm winded when he pulls back and smirks at me, 'You were saying?'

I can't bring any two brain cells together, so instead of responding I pounce on him and hold down his beefy forearms as I restrain him. 'I was saying that it's time for you to do your husbandly duties.' I waggle my eyebrows at him as I pull down his pants.

He chuckles, 'Gladly kiska.' Once we're both naked he pulls me on top of him. He checks that I'm wet enough and thrusts up into me in one quick move. We both groan, and stare at each other. 'Finally, you're all mine. I love you forever Jas.'

I pant, the sensation from our connection driving me to distraction. I finally manage to find the words, 'And you're mine, forever. I love you Nik.'
