Chapter 158
I’m ready, and I want to say I feel sorry for Eros over what I’m wearing, but I’m not. At all. The dress is elegant and stunning, but I know the front alone will taunt it.
The skirt of the dress is short at the front. Both straps go over one shoulder. One side has a sleeve, the opposite is sleeveless, but it’s taunting enough.
Walking out of the room, I watch Eros turn to me. His eyes widen. That’s a win for me.
“Where do you find these dresses? It’s elegant enough not to get you questioned in the most high–end places, but somehow is more taunting. and erotic than you’re short ones,” he says while his arm wraps around my waist.
My body is pulled into his, and he kisses me.
“This might be ripped later,” he whispers into my ear, and I laugh.
“No it won’t, it’s beautiful dress, don’t rip it,” I argue.
“Well, you better ensure it’s off as soon as we go in the room tonight.” his words are whispered, and he bites against my neck lightly.

“Tempt me, and I will take it off now.” I said while smirking.
“Don’t do that. Behave,” he says before stepping back and guiding me outside. Stopping by the car, he opens the door for me. I climb in, and he joins me.
“So, we’ve been out a lot on dates, but tonight, we need to talk about the way forward,” he states, and I laugh. He looks at me, shocked.
“Sorry, I was just waiting for you to pave the path for me like you did with getting me to move in with you,” I joke.
“If you don’t want to live with me, you can leave. Just say,” he replies.
“No! I do. I was just saying you decided that for me, so I was ready for you to decide the next step.” I explained before leaning forward and kissing him.
Soon I find myself sitting in the restaurant and I know he is waiting for
me to start.
“All I want to know is what you want the next step to be, Alexis,” he says, and I shrug.
To be fair, choosing the next step isn’t going to work. There’s too much to consider.
“I think rather than choosing the next step, we need to decide if we

want to get married or have kids. Then we need to decide on a time frame. I’m basically thirty, and you’re already in your thirties, so that needs to be considered,” I explain.
He looks at me and is clearly confused.
“Eros, if we decide the next step is to get married, what happens if we decide we don’t want to get married for ten years? By that point, there is no step after that, as I will be too old to have kids,” I explain..
“So you want to discuss time frames?” he says, and I nod. “Is that you agreeing you want to have kids and get married?”
I hadn’t exactly considered that, but I know I do. “Yes.” I decide to just say yes before I back out.
The waiter walks over and takes the plates, and Eros sits looking at me. I glance around the restaurant, unsure of where to even look. His hand reaches out, and he grasps my chin, so I have to look at him.
“I love you, Alexis,” he announces, and I smile.
“I know, and I love you as well, Eros,” I reply. We’ve already said we love each other, but this time, it seemed out of place.
“That is good to know. Now, I need to know something else,” he says as the waiter comes over and stands beside us. Eros keeps his eyes on me as he looks at me. “I knew from the moment you spoke to me that you were the one, and each time I spoke to you, your stubbornness and

fierceness pulled me deeper. I don’t rush into things Alexis, I take time. I plan and I spend years perfecting that plan,” he says, and I nod. I know he docs.
He told me he never rushes into anything; he plans it, tests it, and then plans more.
“So, this relationship is nothing like me. I didn’t try to plan it: I just went for it. I didn’t plan for you to move in; I just did it, which is why now I want to know. Will you marry me?” he says, and I release my chin.
He takes something from the waiter and holds it out, my eyes go to the puppy with the ring hanging fron it. I look back at Eros, and he sits waiting.
This was planned. He said he didn’t plan it, but clearly he did. Maybe not for months or years, but he planned it. I bite my lip and stare at him.
Slowly, my head nods. “Yes,” I whisper. He leans forward and kisses me. He pulls back
y and takes the ring from around the puppy
before placing it on my finger.
“My queen,” he whispers, and I glance at the puppy. “He’s yours.”
I look at Eros, he got me a puppy?
“We were brought up with a dog. My mother has always had one. I like

the idea of our kids growing up with a pet dog.” He explains, and I pick up the puppy and cuddle it.
It’s too damn cute.
“You don’t have a garden, Eros; actually, you have no outdoor space and are hundreds of floors up,” I state.
“That’s going to be solved tomorrow; don’t worry about it,” he explains while smiling at me. God, I’m engaged again! I glance down at the ring. Yes, I was hesitant, but I wanted to marry him.
Today, tomorrow, or next year, I want to marry him.
