I know my book isn't as fast paced as some of the others on GN. I don't write about what a room looks like. I'm more focused on emotion. how the ML or FL is feeling. When I do this, I try to write more in the chapter. we are told 600 to 1000 words are best. I try and write more if I'm talking a lot about emotion. How else can you explain how they fell in love. Thank you for sticking with me and the readers who read all my books. I think I have grown as a writer and it's by your support. Love Billie
“Wife.” What the hell did he mean by that? The Ryan she knew didn’t do ‘commitment’. She couldn’t have agreed to be his wife last night, surely. Tally didn’t want to let him know she didn’t remember last night.Until she remembered, she would keep that little titbit to herself. She wished she hadn’t drunk so much last night so it wasn’t a blur.After figuring out it was him in bed with her, she had been thrown one curve ball or another. First the amazing sex which had put her back to sleep and then the comment about being his wife. She needed to get away from him so she could think and then hopefully remember.Scrambling out of the bed so he didn’t come back and find her there. Tally found a robe in the wardrobe, throwing it around herself as she moved to join him in the bathroom.He had his hand in the bath water, checking the temperature. “Perfect.”He moved to stand in front of her, reaching down to untie her robe. Tally put her hands over his. “I can do it.”He smiled down at her a
They spent most of the weekend in bed. Much to Tally’s amusement. Ryan didn’t seem to grow bored with exploring every inch of her body. As she was laying in a half exhausted slumber Sunday morning. The memory of the Friday night Christmas Party came back to her. That moment on the balcony when he had confronted her.Ryan took a step closer still, putting a hand under her chin, turning her face back to his. “That person would be who, Tally?” His breath washing over her face in a light caress. Cooling her hot cheeks.She giggled. Walking into Ryan’s body, allowing her breast to push up against his hard chest, her nipples instantly hardened. She watched as her hands ran down his arms before taking them back up again over his shoulders, then she sunk her fingers into his lush hair. Her blue gaze meant his intense amber eyes. Tally went onto her toes as she brought Ryan’s head down so her lips were a hair’s breath away from his. “You have to know you are every woman’s wet dream.” She whispe
On the way to the office on Monday, Tally and Ryan sat together in the car. Tally reflected on their activities the previous day. They had visited Tally’s place to collect her clothing for today and the upcoming days.Afterward, Ryan proposed the idea of arranging movers to transfer Tally’s belongings to his house as soon as possible. However, Tally insisted on packing her personal items herself, which required some convincing on her part. Ryan found it difficult to comprehend her decision, but Tally believed that most men wouldn’t understand her reasoning. Woman were private about their things.Tally felt almost giddy with how fast things had moved between them. She still had some doubts regarding him falling in love later, but she knew he would never cheat on her. She frowned. That could happen even if theirs was a love match on both sides. Marriages fail all the time and not just for one or both parties cheating. Theirs had a good chance as any.“You’re very quiet. Is everything ok?
“Twas the week before Christmas.” Tally grinned to herself as she said it out aloud.She had been putting the last things from her wardrobe into Ryan’s walk-in wardrobe off the master bedroom. They were getting married tomorrow. Tally stood back and looked at her clothes hanging next to his. She couldn’t help but feel excited by it all.The last week had been a whirlwind. No one at the office was aware of the change in Ryan’s and her relationship. She just wasn’t ready for that yet.Tally couldn’t believe so much had happened in only a week and tomorrow she would be Mrs. Tally Hawkins.Arms went around her waist from behind. Ryan kissed the top of her head. “You’re in a happy mood.”Tally twisted around in his arms, circling his neck with her hands, running her fingers through his hair. She grinned up into his face. “I’m excited about the wedding and it’s Christmas in a week.”Ryan ran his hands down her sides. “Is there anyone you want at the wedding tomorrow?”This made Tally frown.
Tally felt a little melancholy dressing on her own. Wishing her mom was with her today. Tears stung her eyes, but she couldn’t cry. The makeup artist and hairdresser had just left.There was a knock at the bedroom door. Ryan had taken himself off down the hall to dress. It had been his idea, so she didn’t think it was him. “Come in.” She called out.The door opened, and Ryan’s mom, Brenda, popped her head around the door. Her face broke out in a huge smile on seeing Tally. “Oh my god, you do look beautiful.” Brenda stepped all the way into the room, closing the door behind her.Ryan had arranged for the top wedding fashion house to come and see her last Monday night. She may be buying an off the rack dress, but he wanted it to be the best. The owner and designer had made the call personally and after fitting Tally with the stunning creation she was wearing. The dress only needed a very slight alteration in the bust area. Giving her room to breathe. Tally returned Brenda’s smile. Please
Tally watched as Ryan and his best friend, Noah, raised their glasses in a toast to Ryan’s newly married status. They both took deep sips from their glasses, seemingly enjoying the moment. Noah then turned to Tally, a wide grin on his face, and said, “You don’t know how happy it makes me that you have taken Ryan off the market, Tally.” His infectious grin spread to the rest of Ryan’s family, who seemed familiar with Noah’s playful nature. “Because now us normal guys have a chance to be pursued by women. Because beforehand, when Ryan enters a room, it’s game over for the rest of us.”Tally chuckled at his joke, but couldn’t help but wonder why Noah considered himself a “normal” guy. He was undoubtedly good-looking, but in her eyes, he didn’t compare to Ryan. Noah was also wealthy and successful. He would tick boxes for a lot of women. Tally could imagine Ryan and Noah going out together during their university days. The thought made her smile.Ryan’s quick wit came into play as he respo
Tally and Ryan stood by the front door, waving off his parents. His arms circled her waist. Once they could no longer see his parents’ car. Ryan led her back inside.She started to head towards the kitchen. Before she got there, Ryan caught her spinning her around into his arms. “Where do you think you are going?”Tally gave a surprised sound at his movement and pushed at his chest. “I’m going to clean up.”Ryan smiled down at her. “Not tonight, you are not. I have a cleaning company coming in the morning. Who will deal with everything?”Tally frowned. “But it won’t take long.”Ryan turned her towards the stairs. Giving her a little push in the right direction. “I don’t care if it takes 5 minutes. Go up to bed. I’ll lock up and join you. I want all night to make love to my wife.”She blushed at Ryan’s words, feeling the anticipation of their lovemaking to come. She couldn’t help but be thrilled by his possessiveness and the thought of a night filled with passion. As she ascended the st
At Tally’s words, Ryan’s grip on her hips tightened, showing that he had heard her and understood. However, he surprised her with an unexpected revelation. “Thank god. Because I have loved you for a while now,” he confessed.As he continued to thrust into her, Tally observed the intensity in his beautiful face, his desire evident. The pleasure from their passionate encounter still coursing through her body. She involuntarily clenched her inner muscles around him. This was enough to send him over the edge. Ryan collapsed into Tally’s arms, their bodies still entwined. Joined together.The room was filled with a comfortable silence, the only noise their breathing, the air heavy with the aftermath of their passion. Tally nestled against Ryan’s chest, feeling safe and loved in his embrace. She knew she had questions to ask. Just not yet.With a contented sigh, Tally closed her eyes, knowing that she was exactly where she belonged - in the arms of the man she loved, Ryan. Tally felt herself
