Taleela's POV
In the evening, Karanos proposed to me; I wasn't expecting it. I had just been coming down the stairs for dinner when I found him down on one knee with a plush red box that was open and had a diamond ring sitting on it.
I had nearly toppled down the stairs when I saw him in that position, and it had him bounding up the stairs in sheer panic.
We had both erupted into laughter, and I had kissed and kissed and kissed him, bursting into tears as he took a second kneel before me.
It's a memory I will never forget in a rush. The slow s*x we had after his proposal, how he handled me gently, how he made me feel like the most special woman in the world.
For the first time in my life, I felt a rush of love I had never felt for so many people.
We had kept the marriage propos
