Four or Dead

Chapter 58

Emma

A silence falls over Zane and me as I try to take in exactly what I'm looking at. He isn't proposing I know that, but it's just as big a shock to be presented with a ring like this. I mean I know we are technically engaged, but this...makes it real. If I accept this ring I am announcing to anyone who sees it that I belong to Zane Dalton. When I had thought about getting married I wanted my boys to be the ones asking, and now I feel like the specialness of being proposed to might be lost for good

He wants more I know it, but I can never let him touch me that way again. But how long can I keep him away? .' I

He starts to move forward so that our faces are close enough that he could kiss me, but at that moment a knock comes at the door making me jump back. Zane growls in frustration and pauses for a moment closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths. When he opens them again his cool calm facade returns and he stands. He straightens out his suit and walks gracefully over to the suit door and pulls it open

"Sir I have a new dress here." A woman's voice says nervously

"Yes, bring it in." He says firmly before closing the door a little too harshly behind her

She looks young and scared, so I try to offer her a small smile. She returns my smile with a small one of her own but keeps her head low and holds the garment bag out to me
