Kayla reached for a tissue and started wiping Dean’s face, feeling such overwhelming love for the man it was scary. She took another tissue, moistened it with a little water, and then proceeded to wipe at Dean’s eyes, making him laugh softly.
“Thanks,” Dean whispered.
“Pleasure. So…do you forgive me?” Kayla asked.
“Do you?” Dean asked right back.
“You really think I would be wiping your tears, just to make sure those idiots out there don’t tease you when we finally get out of here if I hadn’t forgiven you?” Kayla drawled, then paused to frown at Dean. “Unless of course, the guys are not here…are you here alone?”
“Everyone is here except Kyle and Ty,” Dean said hoarsely.
“Thought so. Now your turn. Forgive me?”
Dean shook his head. “No.”
“What?” Kayla looked incredulous. “What do you mean, no?”
“Exactly what it means my love. I will only forgive you on one condition.”
“Ow come on. You’re not being fair.”
“Marry me, Kayla,” Dean said softly. “You know I love you, baby. And I know you love me too. I want you to marry me not because I’m asking you to, but because you want to be with me for the rest of your life, just as much as I want to be with you. Please say you’ll be by my side for as long as we both draw breath. Kay…”
“I will,” Kayla said softly, cutting Dean off. She never wanted to go through not being by his side, in his bed, in his arms for even one more day. “Yes, I’ll marry you.”
Dean looked shocked. “Do…do you me…mean that?” Dean stammered.
Kayla laughed, nodding her head and wiping fresh tears from her eyes. She had never been more content as she was that very moment. She felt like she was finally home…with Dean…where she rightfully belonged. Because wherever Dean was, was home to Kayla and she knew it.
“Thank you,” Dean whispered, not knowing what else to say. “Thank you, Kay.” He hugged her fiercely. “You have no idea what that means to me. Thank you, my angel.”
“Pleasure is all mine, my love.” Kayla laughed softly. “I love you. So much.”
“I know, baby.” Dean smiled, pressing a kiss against Kayla’s swollen lips. “Now let’s go spread the good news.”
Kayla laughed, looking around for her panties. “Can’t wait to tell everyone huh?”
“Can you?” Dean laughed, zipping up.
“No.” Kayla shook her head. “Where the fuck are my panties?” She asked, looking around.
“It’s in my pocket.” Dean chuckled. “I destroyed it. Sorry.”
“Ow come on, Dean,” Kayla whined. “How do you expect me to…”Kayla trailed off when she felt a wet clothe between her legs.
She looked down and saw that Dean was cleaning her up with a handkerchief he’d obviously moistened when she was busily looking around.
“I’m sorry. Better?” He asked softly.
“I’m good. But you have to take me home soon. I need to get out of these clothes and have a cold shower.” Kayla said, allowing Dean to bring her down from the Island.
Dean kept his arms around her when he noticed that her wobbly legs wouldn’t hold her up. “Are you okay?”
Kayla nodded against Dean’s chest. “What did you expect after fucking me like that?” She laughed softly, leaning against Dean as they headed towards the closed kitchen door. Kayla stopped abruptly when they got to the door. “Oh my God, do you think they heard us?” Kayla’s cheeks were pink with embarrassment now that reality was about to intrude.
“A little too late to think about that don’t you think?” Dean drawled, and then leaned down to press a kiss against Kayla’s pouty lips. He sometimes forgot that Kayla had actually been a virgin till not too long ago. “They already know we fuck, Kay. Do you think they don’t know how that baby got in there?”
“Yeah, but…” Kayla trailed off when the kitchen door opened from the outside. When she saw Briana’s smiling face, her face heated up even more but she was also relieved.
“Don’t worry, I kept them away.” Briana beamed. “But damn, that was hot…”
“Oh my God, please tell me you were not there the whole time.” Kayla gasped and promptly groaned when she saw Briana nodding her head slowly with a knowing smile on her face.
“How do you think I kept them out?” Briana laughed when Kayla buried her face against Dean. “Congratulations by the way.” Briana reached out to draw Kayla into a tight hug. “Can I be your maid of honour please?”
Kayla laughed as Dean groaned. “Who else is hot and classy enough to rock a fabulous Valentino dress?” Kayla purred, bursting into laughter when Briana squealed with excitement.
“They finished fucking yet?” Chris bellowed from the corridor, making all the guys, who had rushed out of the den on hearing Briana’s squeal, burst into laughter.
“They’re getting married,” Briana screamed.
“Dude, that was a record-breaker.” Matt laughed. “What the fuck did you tell her to get her to agree to sell her freedom so quickly?”
“More like what did he do to her…” Damon chuckled, making everyone laugh.
There were hugs all around and Dean, who couldn’t stop beaming with joy, wouldn’t even let Kayla out of his sight.
“Dude, relax,” Cole growled. “She’s not fully yours till you pay a fine for knocking her up first.
And even as the friends laughed and argued amongst themselves, there was a general feeling of delight for the newly engaged couple.
