Falling for my boss ✔️

Chapter 50 - Cuddled up

♡

Michael's POV

Sara shushed me into the shower, then went down to take care of the dishes I had left behind downstairs.

Moments later the sounds of the house were silenced by the running water. I let the warm water run down my naked skin, soaking in the warmth and felt my hard muscles relax as the water hit them. I let the hard day be washed off my body, shut my eyes and enjoyed the silence thoroughly.

Deep breaths, in and out. Five or so, before I reached for the shampoo and scrubbed my body clean. I gave my hair a quick wash and then got out the shower after a quiet, blissful eternity.

Sara wasn't in the room as I got out. I let my towel drop, tip-toed over to my suitcase and rummaged around for some boxers. This was a bad habit of mine; I was so used to traveling constantly that I never unpacked my suitcase. My fingers touched the bag with the rings.

My heart started beating rapidly. I glanced to the door and quickly opened it.

The rings shone back. Beautiful. Elegant. There. Still there in the box.

Good.

Good - the rings were still there.

I looked at them for a long time until I caught myself doing so. What if she saw?

I did my best to quickly hide it again and slipped into my boxers. I barely got up when the door opened and Sara stepped back inside again. She gave me a big smile.

"Sorry I took so long, Esi and Adri and wanted me to tuck them in", Sara danced over to me and nuzzled into my arms and took a deep breath. "You smell sooo good!"

"You and your sensitive nose", I laughed, pinching her 'dog nose' as I called it. I barely managed to stifle a sigh of relief. Had I looked at the rings any longer, then she would have caught me and that would have ruined the whole surprise. "Let's lie down", I suggested.

Sara crawled on top of me the moment I laid down and showered me in kisses. I leaned back, crossed my arms behind my back and let my girl shower me in affection. Oh I enjoyed it thoroughly already!

A kiss on my eye, then on the other eye, my nose, my lips, my cheeks, my forehead, my other cheek, my dimples, my beard. "My handsome man!", Sara swooned before I received two firm smooches. Her hands cupped my face and kissed the side of my nose. "Mine!"

"Yours", I agreed, puckering my lips. She fulfilled my wish and kissed me several times on my lips.

I smiled into the kisses. Sara leaned back and scanned me with warm eyes, brushing my face lovingly.

You know Victor, this morning when you asked me if I was serious about her? I am. I don't need to be with her all the time, but when I don't see her I catch myself getting grumpy. I like being around her. I like doing nothing and everything with her. Even if we are in the same room doing nothing I'm content because I'm with her. The thought of being with her, my best friend and love of my life, for the rest of my life excited me, didn't scare me at all. I would develop even more with this woman by my side for plenty more years. Play plenty more pranks on her. Tease her more and more. Hold her as long as I can.

"I love you", I told her. "I felt right at home as I saw you."

"I love you too", Sara leaned her head on my chest. "And this is your home silly."

"My home is now with you. This is the place I grew up in", I corrected her, slightly raising my head to look at her.

"Don't let Marthe hear you", Sara laughed with a happy smile, her arms wrapping around me.
