Alana
I think I’ve been afraid enough in my life, It’s time to let go.
I leaned up the rest of the way and pressed my lips to his, the first intimate action I have done in almost five years and let me tell you it felt good.
Ray was so careful with his movements, maybe afraid that'll I'll freak out any minute but he was wrong because I've never felt this touched by something for a very long time.
Our lips moved against each other in a perfect rhythm as I slowly raised my gloved hand and brought it to his cheek. The kiss was sweet but aggressive and I don't even know how these two things mixed up together but they did.
I felt Ray's left hand settle on my lower back while his right one came to the side of my neck and he started running his thumb back and forth on my jawbone.
Alana I never thought I'd say this but I actually miss seeing Ray. It's been about a week since that talk we had in his house and ever since he hadn't contacted me in any way. It was either Nathan or Ethan calling Malia to tell her about the wedding preparations but never Ray. And here I was reading the same paragraph from a contract that I should've signed about half an hour ago but Ray freaking Dalton kept popping up in my head. I have to talk to him. Yep, enough with this bullshit. I got up, straightening my black canvas pants which matched with black blazer I was wearing, just my usual professional clothes. Malia, who was almost working in my office everyday now because she was the head of the marketing campaign I decided to make for the new company we were going to be partners at. 
Raymond What was her game this time? Fallon always loved to play games ever since we were little so what game is she playing today? Or even worse, what game is my real mother playing this time? "Oh, Ray didn't tell me he had a sister." Alana said but she was looking at me for help but I was frozen. Fallon should leave. Now. "We've been away from each other for a long time so I wouldn’t blame him for not telling you." Fallon's fake smile was even scarier than her normal one and I needed her or Alana gone, I don't need her with the same room as Fallon so how am I supposed to-- Malia. I picked up my phone and clicked on Malia's name and sent a message: Please, call Alana and tell her she needs to come to you and I'll explain later I swear.
Raymond I'm a bastard and I know it. Taking advantage of Alana because I was in the hospital was such a tricky move for me to do but I mean let's be honest, if Alana didn't want to move in with me she would've never agreed even if I was dying in front of her. But does that mean that I'm not happy? Heck no. Having her around me, in my house felt amazing to just think about let alone actually happen yet, here we are. We are standing in the place that was my bedroom before but now I made it become Alana's because it was the place that suited her most. Alana is a woman that should be worshipped every singl
AlanaI stormed inside the mansion and my anger didn't give me space to even respond to Andrew's greeting when he opened the door.Ray and the twins were all in the gaming room as I barged in and threw my purse across the room which caught everyone's attention."See I hate a lot of things and people but do you know what I hate most?" I paused and looked at all of them until Ethan moved his head in a way of asking me 'What?'"People who think I'm a fool or insult my intelligence and you… Raymond Dalton caused both of these two to be done to me." Now I had his attention when he placed the controller on the table in front of him while getting up with his borrows furrowed in confusion.
AlanaMy body felt like it was on fire.I could feel that my body was getting aroused by the second and all of that because of Ray. What was he doing to me?This was wrong on so many levels, well, for me at least but Ray looked like he was enjoying this, all of it.The little push and pull between us. The cat and mouse game that we are both apparently are taking a big liking to.My mind was so foggy with need, my body was now awake after years of being put to rest from any of these acts and my heart, that's a story for another time.We were still kissing, roughly alm
AlanaWe were now in Ray's red Bugatti on our way to the Dalton Manor to have dinner with them because well, they are going to be my parents in law for one year after all. One Year. If I already got used to seeing Ray every day, how will I get used to never seeing him after a full year?I already like Ray, hell I may even love… NO.No, I can't love anyone, not anymore because I know that at the end of the day, I'm the one who'll be left with her heartbroken, just me.I needed a distraction so I leaned forward and pressed randomly on the screen just so something could start playing and pull me out of my ocean of thoughts."Everything Black" By Unlike Pluto started playing, forcing a smile to be drawn on my face. Ray sure does have a taste in music which gave him a point from my side because this song was planted to its roots in my brain as it was my only enjoyment during the Daniel thing."What's the smile for?" Ray asked, his eyes darting to me for a second
AlanaIf there was anything I was good at then it was provoking people by my cold and careless act which was my tactic now."I'm the one who slapped your daughter." I gave her a grin and I could hear both Ray and Nathan trying to hide their chuckles after hearing my response while I could see that Renee and Leonard were surprised by my bluntness. Who could blame them?"And you're not even afraid to say it right to my face?" Dina, that's her name which I didn't figure out from the media but from a friend of Malia's who got us all the info we needed.I only sighed in fake frustration as I leaned against one of the chairs. "I mean why would I be afraid? She wronged me, my fiance and my soon to be brothers in law so… No, I'm not
RaymondI was officially in love with Alana Steel.I love her so much it hurts but like who would I be kidding if I said that I didn't love her, especially after she told me about her and that bastard.Everything has changed ever since because I expected Alana to close herself around me again but on the contrary, she became more comfortable with having me around, the little touches and kisses I gave her.Now of course we delayed the wedding another week because her parents were out of the country plus, the wedding venue wasn't fully prepared yet which brought me to where I am now, watching it after it got fully prepared for our wedding that will happen tomorrow with Alana's hand in mine.
