KENDRICK'S POVWho would’ve thought she’d fall asleep before we even got home?Yesterday, even in her unconscious state, she clung to me, refusing to let me go.Mumbling so many promises.Even agreed to be my wife—just so I wouldn’t leave her in the dark.She may not remember... but I do.Imagine holding back your arousal so you don’t take advantage of a woman who does'nt realizing just how much she affects you.And now she wants to run off?Impossible.Rebecca Belmont, you are mine.“If you touch me again without my permission, I’ll rip that hand off your arm. Got it?” she frowned, flinging my hand off her face.Whenever she went to work, she always pulled her hair into a tight bun. But today she didn’t—and it looked incredible.Tempting... but not in that kind of way.More like the “I want to run my fingers through your hair” kind of feeling.But then again, could you really blame me?After my wife forced me to hold her throughout the entire night, my only option was to play with he
REBECCA'S POV"Miss, no real estate company wants to work with you. They all say the same thing," Alyssa mumbled, and my face hardened.What was this nonsense trying to ruin my plans? All I wanted was simple—just a little place I could call home, somewhere to escape from everything. But now, it seemed like even that was becoming impossible to find.I exhaled, running a hand through my hair. "What did they say?""They all said that housing isn’t available for now… not until next year."I pinched my brows together. "How am I supposed to survive until next year with all of this?"My teeth sank into my jaw, biting down hard. But wait a minute…If I remembered correctly, I had purchased an apartment yesterday for Alyssa because of little Derek. So why couldn’t Alyssa do the same?Could it be that the universe didn’t want me to leave the Reyes apartment?Screw that. I didn’t believe in anything called fate. After all, this wasn’t the first time I had done the extraordinary."Miss Belmont, w
REBECCA'S POV"You are out of your goddamn mind, Reyes." I groaned, trying to push his hand away, but he just held on tighter.What the heck was his problem?"Let me go, you psycho." I hissed."That's funny because you were so unwilling to let me go yesterday." He pouted, moving his shoulders in the process like he was a toddler. "You even begged me to stay because you were scared of the dark."Fuck, did I tell him that?I really need to stop drinking.I bit my lip, watching him chuckle without a single care. He was enjoying this a little bit too much, and it only fueled the fury within me.Finally, I pushed his hand, my fist curled up in the air, ready to punch that smug grin off his face, but he caught my wrist and pushed it behind my back, moving forward until my back hit the bed and his huge body covered mine.His hair fell right out, some strands already teasing my skin. That was when I noticed his hair must have grown out a little longer these past weeks.He tilted his head, rel
REBECCA'S POV"Hmmm," the low moan escaped my lips as I snuggled closer.Something smooth and incredibly soft pressed against my cheek. The scent that surrounded me was so familiar, yet it pulled me in even more.My eyelids were already burning slightly from the sun slipping into the room, and the cool morning breeze, combined with the freshness, made everything feel peaceful.Then I felt the slow and gentle rake of something moving through my hair. I hummed, loving the sensation as it twisted and turned gently across my scalp.It brushed against my ear, and a smile spread across my lips.I didn’t think I wanted this to end."If you like this that much, then I won’t mind coming into your bed every night."My body froze when the words sank in. It was close. Almost too close.My eyes snapped open.Wait... wait a freaking minute.That voice.I sat up so fast, I almost knocked myself out on whatever the hell was behind me. My hands flew out to steady myself—but they didn’t land on my shee
KENDRICK'S POV"Don't you dare try to come close to me or I'll bite you," Becca warned when she noticed my steps moving toward her.The urge to scream and just break something filled my mind.These nosey people won't see this part where she was the one preventing me from even coming close to her.How the fuck was I supposed to help someone that doesn't want me close?I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and then I crouched down.Becca’s chin was over her knee, her legs were slightly exposed because of the length of her dress. I could spot male prying eyes already trying to feast on what was mine.I teeth gritted as I pushed my jacket off my body and tossed it over her."You... I don't need anything from an evil man like you," she barked.My hands picked her off the floor as she continued to struggle within my grip. I tossed her over my shoulders. Her ass was literally right in my face, but I turned my eyes away, making sure that her gown didn’t ride up even more over her thigh."P
KENDRICK’S POV“Explain why the heck your lips are smudged with lipstick?” Jessica snapped. “You couldn’t possibly just be wearing one and swiped it off, huh?”This girl… wasn’t she the one who was so hyped up about wanting to help me with Becca?“Jessica, I—”“Let her go, you freaking perv,” she half-yelled, and my eyes snapped shut from the impact of her words.She tried to come closer, but I held Becca backward, my eyes locking with Lewis so he’d do something about this situation.“Umm, Miss Reyes, don’t worry. My boss will take care of Miss Belmont,” Lewis said quickly.“Nonsense!” she lashed out. “He’s taking advantage of her. Mom will have to hear what kind of son she raised!”I pinched my temples, shaking my head. “Little sis, I spent most of my life abroad, so technically they didn’t raise me.”“You…” Her breath faltered as she scoffed.I gave her a small wink, signaling Lewis to handle my sister so she wouldn’t interrupt my night.It was already hard enough to get this close
