California's 48th has been red for as long as most people can remember but Sam runs a good campaign on the issues and tries his best to deflect everything his opponent throws at him. There's the usual mud-slinging, most of which is fixated on the fact that Sam had once accidentally dated a call girl and then not-so-accidentally continued his friendship with her after he knew her chosen profession.

He thinks it helps that Ainsley's by his side. She makes an excellent candidate's partner and while she's still just his girlfriend, he has a ring in his pocket that's burning a hole and he thinks tonight is the best time to do it. He'll propose to her now, before they call it, and no matter what happens, hopefully she'll be with him through it all.

"Ainsley? Could I borrow you for a moment?" Sam pitches his voice a little lower, just enough to be audible above the excited din of the ballroom they've rented out to hold their party in. It's getting down to the wire, with the votes, and he's still deadlocked with the republican candidate. It might come down to the last few precincts before one or the other of them pulls away.

"Away from the cameras and the people? There's something I wanted to ask...talk to you about."

Ainsley leans up to kiss him as she works him free of his shirt, taking special attention to undo his pants next, walking Sam backwards until he's standing in nothing but his boxers and she's got her hands all over that body of his that belongs to her now, exclusively and in the way that thrills her. "We should get you an op-ed, with Vanity Fair, or some other puff piece that'll talk about the wedding and give you a chance to air your opinions."

"Like a yachting enthusiast," is her reply, because she can absolutely picture him in a Ralph Lauren commercial, though she supposes that she has her place there too and shouldn't talk so loudly when the finger can be pointed right back at her. She grins and slides in to kiss him, up on her toes as she winds her arms around his waist.

"Sam," she says, voice a touch husky, "take me to bed."

"You're very handsome when you look like a yachting enthusiast," she teases, leaning up to kiss him and having to strain now that her heels are off and the height difference between them is as far as ever. She knows she doesn't want to just be a wife, knows she wants to be more, but she can't help worry that she's going to get pigeonholed into it.

There'll be time to worry about that later, though.

Ainsley shifts her stance and laughs brightly when she realizes what it is Sam means to do. "Well, aren't you just a regular gentleman," she says with a delighted grin, leaning up to kiss him. "I think you and I should consummate this engagement before the night gets away from us and you start getting phone calls." The last thing she needs is Josh Lyman interrupting this to gloat and praise.

If Josh interrupts them, Ainsley is going to have to inform him that his friendship with Sam is on probation. She eases back onto the bed, stretching out comfortably as she kisses him, taking small joy in the feel of the engagement ring sliding over Sam's bare skin. "I really like the ring," she says, into the kiss.

"I like that you won," she replies, sprawling back on the bed as she stretches her arms above her head, wiggling her hips as she gets comfortable. "And I like that tomorrow, I get to meet with your team and talk them through strategy and maybe media training. Somewhere in there, I'm sure we'll have to hire a wedding planner," she concedes.

Sam is one of the few people in the world that can capture Ainsley's attention whole-heartedly. She's not thinking about anything else once he starts to kiss her like that, and it always throws her for a loop, but she's so stupidly in love with him that she can forget his politics.

Wiggling back a little more, she peers up at him curiously. "We're still using protection, right?"

"Protection," is all she says with a firm nod. "Which isn't to say I don't want a family with you, Sam, because I do, but we're going to be so busy with career and personal lives that the last thing we need is a little Seaborn interrupting everything because you need to become President," she informs him. "Which means a little time in office getting your feet wet."

As usual, she's started to ramble in a way that's distracted from what they're doing.

"If we're planning to get me to run for president, we need to start working on my groundwork," she says, which isn't to detract from him or the moment, but it definitely means a lot more planning needs to happen. Ainsley takes advantage of the moment to sprawl back and grin as she watches Sam.

"I understand why so many women fell at your feet when I look at you like this," she praises.

"You always know how to say the right words," she praises as a thrill rushes through her. "I almost know why you used to be a speechwriter, Mr. Seaborn," she teases with a smirk, eagerly staring at Sam as she moves her fingers up and down his hips slowly. "Come on," she coaxes softly. "Enough talk."

Ainsley tries to keep as close to him as possible, as if she's trying to merge them both together, desperate for more touching and proximity. "Sam," she breathes out happily, already feeling all the tension from earlier and the worry bleed away. Everything is perfect. Sam's won, they're engaged, and they're on the right path.

She doesn't think her life could actually be better, right now.

Ainsley curls her fingers into his so they twine together, a dazed look on her face from the kiss that segues into bliss as she leans back and sinks back into more kisses and touching, waiting for Sam to make the next move.
