just an FYI: i am now on ff.net, and have posted this entire story there. i can be found under the penname "pandorama".
Luka
As we leave the restaurant, I notice the sky is clear and starry. The perfect night for a walk. I take her hand in mine and wordlessly head towards the river, our favorite place to just wander. She lets me pull her close, wrap my arm around her, and her head rests against me as we walk. The night is balmy and we stroll slowly, an easy silence between us. I feel her shiver a little, and I automatically take off my coat and drape it around her shoulders. She looks up at me and smiles, appreciating the action and knowing better than to argue. I kiss the top of her head and she snuggles in close to me as we approach a foot bridge. I lead her to the railing and we stand on the bridge, looking out at the water. I stand behind her, gently trapping her between me and the rail. I wonder if she can hear my heart pounding in my chest as she leans back into me and sighs. One arm around her waist, one in my pocket, gripping the little box. I take one deep, shaky breath...and another...and another. I’m nervous, not of what I’m doing, but of how she’ll react. Part of me is afraid I could lose her if this is too soon, but I know that this is what I want, and I think she does, too. I squeeze my eyes shut and take one last deep breath before I lean down and rest my chin on her shoulder. I kiss her cheek and swallow, my throat dry and scratchy. “Abby,” I whisper. She turns her head a little, and I look her in the eye as I take the little box from my pocket and open it. “Marry me.”

Maggie- Pandorama, After reading these lines, I waited a little before answering! I am just sitting in front of my comp, and enjoying something very rare and beautiful: Total bliss! You are such a great writer for erotic scenes ( you have known that for long!) but, here, there isn't much to add! It's all about silence and mutual comprehension!! No words are needed to express this!
MERCI MAGGIE, I'm just grateful!

just one more after this...
Abby
We stand looking out at the dark water, his body behind me, pressing up against me. I’m caught between him and the railing, but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. His arm is wrapped around my waist and I lean my head back against his chest. The night sky is full of stars, twinkling overhead. The perfect end to a perfect day. I can hear him take a few deep breaths, probably enjoying the cool, sweet spring air as much as I am. He rests his chin on my shoulder and kisses my cheek softly. God, this is romantic, and I’m surprisingly happy with that. Romance with Luka isn’t corny or melodramatic, it just...is. He whispers my name, and I turn my head a little. He’s looking straight into my eyes, and I feel my pulse quicken as he gazes at me intently. The way he looks at about that look tells me he’s about to do something...something that makes my heart jump into my throat. “Marry me,” he whispers.
Oh god. I feel lightheaded, all the blood seems to drain from my body and I feel cold all over. Panic rises in me. He’s proposing. He’s proposing to me. My head spins. What do I say? My first instinct is to say no, that we’re not ready, but as I try to think of a reason to say that, I draw a blank. We are ready. There’s nothing I can come up as a reason not to marry him. I love him, I love him in a way I never expected. He’s a good man, he’s good to me, we’re good together. I can’t think of a single reason not to spend the rest of my life with him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and as much as it terrifies me, I can’t tell him no. I want to marry him...oh god. I want to marry Luka. My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest. My mouth falls open a little as he holds up a velvet box with a ring. A diamond engagement ring. He’s really asking. He’s really asking me to marry him. Jesus, how do I answer? I know what my answer is, but my voice seems to have disappeared. I close my mouth and look into those deep grey eyes, full of sincerity and love and promise. Words are still failing me. I nod, slowly, and finally my voice comes back to me. “Okay.” It’s all I can force out of my throat, and even that comes out hoarse.
He looks at me, to be sure I’m serious. “Okay?”
I nod again. This time I’m more sure of it. I want to marry him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. “I’ll marry you.” His face breaks into a smile and he takes the ring from the box and slides it onto my finger. A perfect fit...like the two of us. He turns me around to face him and takes my chin between his thumb and forefinger, tilting my head up as he leans down to kiss me. I’m in a daze. He proposed. He proposed to me and I said yes. I’m marrying Luka. Despite everything in me that wants to laugh at myself for this, I feel a few tears in my eyes. When did this all happen? When did I leave my demons behind and let happiness sneak up on me? When did I let love in? As we pull apart and a few tears slide down my cheeks, I realize the answer. When I opened the door to find him on the other side that night, after the Congo, after the hospital, after so many bad days and weeks and months and years, it all came down to him. I didn’t want to be rescued, but, in the end, I was. He came and rescued me and I suppose I rescued him right back.

PERFECT!! Maggie, you're such a talented writer, while reading your stories I'm so involved (don't know if it's the right word) I can't almost breathe. Great. I loved all the scene. Ah, of course...Karma for you!
