Because of Us (My Best Friends Brother)

THREE | You Sure.

POV | Landon

I smiled down at my phone, drawing small circles on the screen knowing the vibrations were shooting straight to my princess.

Imagining her legs trembling while holding her lip between her teeth, trying to hide the pleasure that was building from the hidden toy. I felt myself throb in my pants at the idea of pushing her over the edge knowing she was trying to sit still at the Nail salon.

Of course, I made sure not to take it too far knowing she was with Zoe. I didn't want to ruin her day, just make it a little more exciting.

Over the past year she had been open to more of the things I wanted to try with her. Though we were taking it slow, she let me take more and more control. Not that it bothered me. In my mind, we had all the time in the world to explore all the things I had in mind.

I would wait years to try things like bringing her pleasure in public to the table. But my princess, as always, was quick to let my ideas come to life. Not that she would admit it to me, but I knew how much the unknown excited her.

So much so that I knew putting 'Bob' on that list would be something she wouldn't deny. Sure enough not even an hour after I had left I saw the notification letting me know she was slipping the toy inside her warm core.

Changing my pattern I began drawing jagged lines. Knowing the toy was going to now pulse sharply against her sweet spot. Soon enough my phone was buzzing with a message from Belle.

Belle

Pleaase La.don... I'm beging yuo..

I chuckled to myself at the fact she could barely type out a message. At least my plan to make sure she thought about me today was working. Releasing my finger from the screen I powered down the device. Leaving her with a stable hum as she sat through her nail appointment.

"Are you going to help or torture her all day?" Ryan yelled from across the room.

He was stood on a ladder securing the light hanging in place while I spotted him. Slipping my phone into my back pocket I placed both hands back on the wood, holding it in place while he screwed the base into the ceiling.

"Mm torturing her all day sounds more fun" I flashed him a smile.

Ryan and I had been setting up the 'surprise' all day. Installing lights, moving furniture, and preparing the garden outside. I wanted it to be perfect before tonight.

Stepping down from the Ladder Ryan folded it under his arms as I walked towards the light switch. Flicking it on I smiled as the soft red glow filled the room. It was a small detail but one that I'd hoped would bring on the desired effect when she saw it.

"Argh you're a lucky man" Ryan groaned as he headed out into the hall.

This room was the one most nerve racking to me. It was something I hadn't ever explained to Belle, but one I had always wanted for us. To be free, to explore.

Despite my doubt I had a feeling that tonight... It was going to come in handy. Flicking off the switch I followed behind him with a chuckle "I know"

Gripping the mattress that lent against the wall I began dragging it towards what one would call a master bedroom. Discarding the ladder Ryan soon joined, gripping the end helping me with the dead weight of the king sized object.

As we reached the double door entryway we both lifted it from the ground, carrying it over the carpeted floor before it onto the large wooden frame. Picking up the sheet behind me that rested on a quilted ottoman I threw it over the bed.

Ryan stood on the other side tucking the fitted sheet under the corners, following my actions as I did the same.

"You sure you wanna do this?... It's a big step" Ryan questioned.

Turning around I reached for the duvet, flipping over the bed while he grabbed the pillows. I watched as my vision came to life. The bed's duvet was a dark velvet grey, matching the dark wood. You might say I was inspired by the room I had been living in the past year at Ryans.

Belle had commented in the past how she liked the sleek look, saying she felt it fitted the man she loved. I took pride in that and wanted to recreate the feeling. Though the room was still quite bare. Decorating was something I wanted to leave to Belle.

As everything I was working on was hers as much as it was mine.

Finally once the bed was made I turned to Ryan. My mind had been made months before I made the decision. I wanted this, for me, for Belle. The next step in our relationship.

The past year has been more than I could've hoped for despite our busy schedules. Only proving to me that she completely and utterly owned my heart. I was never going to make the mistake of letting her go again.

This was just a way of saying be mine without asking the actual question. I couldn't live with the idea of having her far from me anymore.

She was the one I wanted to come home to every day. So that's what I was doing. Giving us a place to call home. I just hoped with all my heart she would say yes.

As Ryan and I walked from the room I smiled down the empty hallway before finally giving him the only answer that would ever leave my mouth. "The only thing I've ever been more sure of, was asking Belle to be mine a year ago under that gazebo"

"I don't even know why I bothered asking" He laughed as he headed down the staircase.

This was a secret I had kept from her for months, but one that I had my heart set on. Tonight... I was going to ask the love of my life to move in with me.
