Chapter 69

It was date night again in the Steyn household and my husband had taken me to a private beach dinner. Leave it to him to always top everything.

When I got home I found a box and a note at the very top of it that read: Be ready by 7:00 and wear this. I think it will bring out your eyes.

He had gotten me a couture evening dress that hugged my body perfectly and gave my chest area that needed push up. I loved it. And when he walked in he had all but gaped at me.

His exact words were, ‘I don’t think we will make it to that dinner reservation.’

There had been times that I worried that the connection we had would fade away. I had worried that he could stop being attracted to me. I had seen the kind of women he attracted. They were stunning. Supermodels and royals alike.

Yes, I said royals. The man had princess’ panties falling to the floor.

But it was in moments like these that I realized that it didn’t matter whose eyes were on him because his eyes were always on me. Always.

It didn’t matter who was surrounding him. Even in a crowded room, his eyes would find mine and that alone gave me the security that I needed from him.

He had candles lit all around us in the sand and a small table with red roses littered all over.

The moon hung high in the sky and the waves crashed into the shoreline creating this peaceful and tranquil area.

“Did I tell you that you look stunning?” He grabbed my hand from across the table. “How did I get so lucky?”

“Luck had nothing to do with it Mr. Steyn, you played the long game with me.” I winked at him, getting him to smile. “To be honest, it was a little stalker-ish of you, I must say.”

“You still said yes.”

“After you conned me.” I laughed.

“But aren’t you happy?” he teased. “Did you not get the happily ever after you dreamed of for so long?”

“Okay slow your roll buddy boy,” I squeezed his hand in mine, “It wasn’t sooooo long.”

“It was.”

“No, it wasn’t.”

“It was too.”
