like that, Jill. You know I can make it happen,” he said with a grin.
    “You know what I mean, Will. This is just so wonderful. I honestly can’t remember the last time I was this relaxed.”
    “Well, my darling, I do aim to please.” He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her neck, making her giggle.
    “Stop, I’m going to drop my cup.”
    “We wouldn’t want that now, would we?” he said, grabbing her cup and putting it on the table behind them. “There, you’re suitably unencumbered. Where was I?” He pulled her close to him again, and resumed kissing her.
    “William, if I didn’t know any better, I would say you’re trying to take advantage of me,” Jilly said in mock seriousness. William chuckled into her neck and nipped her collarbone lightly with his teeth.
    “I’m just getting started, my love. You haven’t seen anything, yet.” Jilly felt heat rush to her stomach with his words. William pressed a button on the side of the hot tub and a voice came over the intercom,
    “Yes, Mr. Morgan?”
    “Miss Proctor and I would like total privacy on the top deck. Everyone should remain below,” William responded.
    “Understood sir, just let us know if you need anything.”
    “Thank you.” He grinned at her and undid the tie on her top, letting it fall into the water.
     

     
    After their hot tub antics, they decided to take a nap together below deck. They woke up two hours later and went their separate ways to get ready for dinner. William had planned a nice dinner on the top deck for them, and Jilly was excited. She finished getting dressed and joined him upstairs. He was standing with his back to her, resting his elbows on the railing. Jilly put her arms around his back and enjoyed the sunset with him.
    “Thank you for a wonderful day, Will. This has just been amazing.”
    “The best is yet to come, Jill,” he said with a wink and led her to the table. The waiters brought out their dinner. The chef had prepared fillet mignon with a wine sauce and mushroom risotto.
    “You need to give that man a raise; this was the best meal I’ve ever had.”
    “I know, he’s getting a bonus for sure. He really outdid himself, today.” The waiter cleared their plates and told them dessert would be out, shortly.
    “Come over here with me,” William prompted and they walked over to the railing. His hands were sweaty and he wiped them on his pants a few times before taking her hand. The moon was full, shining on the water on front of them. William held her hand to his lips and brushed a kiss across her knuckles.
    “I feel like my life is finally beginning now that you’re in my life. I want to spend all of my days with you. Jill, will you marry me?” His voice came out thick with emotion. William dropped to his knee and presented her with the ring. He knew he had made the right choice by the look on her face.
    Jilly’s hands covered her mouth in shock. Tears formed in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks.
    “Are you serious? This is really happening?” She wiped at her eyes.
    William laughed. “Yes, I’m serious Jill. Are you going to answer my question?”
    “Of course I’ll marry you, Will! Did you ever doubt that?” He stood up and slipped the ring on her finger. She held her hand up to the light, enjoying the way it sparkled.
    “Are you happy?” he asked.
    “I’m ecstatic! I can’t wait to tell Car and Em.”
    “Well, Caroline already knows. She went with me to pick out your ring,” he said sheepishly with a sly grin on his face. She laughed.
    “You are so sneaky.” The waiter came back up with their desserts and they sat back down. “I don’t think this day could get any more perfect, Will.”
    “That was the idea, love,” William said and kissed her lips.
     

     
    After William dropped her off, Jilly flew up the steps and went straight up to Caroline’s room.
    “I’m engaged!” she screamed as she burst through the door. Caroline jumped up from her bed and screamed. They did an
