After that rather intense episode we just cuddled for a while as Angie's tears wet my shoulder. Then she pulled away a bit and brought her tear-streaked face to mine for another, gentler, kiss,
"Shower?" she asked with a rather watery smile.
I glanced up at the clock on the wall,
"Yeah, we'll just have time to do that and get the next bus to town."
"Bus?" Angie queried.
"It's a pain to park in Exmouth. We'll go down on that open-top bus service. If we can't find anything in Exmouth we can jump on the train to Exeter cos it's a pain to park there too."
"I like it." she grinned at me, "Come on. Let's get moving."
We made our way to the bus stop and managed to get the last two seats upstairs. After getting off in the town centre we started our search.
"I just want to say something before we get to looking at anything." Angie started.
"OK.!" I replied, a little worried.
" Don't look so down." Angie said, "It's just that you know I'm not much into jewellery and I don't normally wear any. I really want this ring though, but I don't want anything big and flashy."
"If that's all you are worried about, then I'm sure we can find something you will like." I retorted, "So let's go looking."
I took her hand and we set off into the main shopping area.
We got lucky in the second store we tried where we found a white gold ring with three small diamonds in a row. The motherly looking assistant had produced a tray of rings after Angie described what she wanted.
"That's it!" Angie squealed, going straight for a ring that was, more or less, in the centre of the tray. She held it up to the light, then held it out to me, "Try it on me." she whispered.
I slipped it on the correct finger and it fit perfectly.
"I think that's a sign that this is going to be amazing." Angie quavered as the tears bubbled over again.
The lady behind the counter was looking a bit damp around the eyes too as she reached out with a pair of scissors and snipped the thin cord that attached the tag to the ring.
"If you want, you can keep it on." she said
Angie turned her wet face to me,
"Please?" she whispered
By way of reply I pulled out my wallet and gave my credit card to the assistant.
After putting a large dent in my credit card we wandered back out into the sunshine and headed towards the bus stop. Angie turned me into a delivery entrance and pushed me up against the wall. She wrapped her right arm around my neck to pull me in for a fierce kiss. Her left hand forced its way past the waistband of my jeans and into me boxers,
"I don't know if you can feel the ring rubbing on your cock," Angie murmured in my ear after pulling out of the kiss, "I just want you to know it's there and always will be."
"I can feel it." I whispered back, " I love feeling it and will always want to."
Angie removed her hand from my jeans and said,
"We need a drink to celebrate."
So, we headed off to find one. It didn't take us long to find a pub that looked good. We wandered in and although it was fairly busy there were several empty tables.
"Go and grab one of those tables while I get drinks." I said heading for the bar.
I was standing there for a while before I got served and when I turned round, I could see Angie across the room, sitting at a table with another couple. She looked up and waved me over,
"This is Lou and Craig." she said, "Meet my brand-new fiancΓ©, Ian."
"Brand new?" queried Lou.
"Just been to a jeweller and put this on me." Angie answered, showing off her hand.
"Nearly as new as us then." Lou said, "We got the ring just before we came here for this holiday."
We toasted our new status and got into the usual small talk about jobs and where we all live etc. It turned out that they were from Birmingham originally but were now in South Wales as Craig had got a good job at the Aston Martin factory. Lou was a legal secretary and had found a job locally as well.
The subject came around to the local beaches and we said we had been to the nude beach the day before.
"We've been talking about that." Lou said, "We think we might give it a go."
She had a great figure clad in just a bikini top and short shorts so I remarked that she would look great there. Craig immediately replied that Angie must have looked great too and I happened to mention that we rarely wore anything in our caravan.
Craig looked at Lou and asked,
"Would you like to try doing that?"
"At our place or theirs?" Lou retorted.
"I'd love for all of us to be naked together if you would like to?" Craig said to us.
Angie and I just looked at each other and nodded.
"Sounds like fun." Angie said with a big grin on her face.
They had a holiday let apartment near the seafront so we headed there. As soon as we got through the door Lou started to strip and the rest of us shrugged and followed suit.
Lou then walked up to me and wrapped herself around me,
"Is this what you wanted to see?" She asked, looking at Craig.
