LOGINI absolutely loved how peaceful and breathtaking the place was. It was the perfect backdrop for our romantic getaway.I reached into my back pocket, pulled out my phone, and checked the time. It was almost 4:00 p.m. Smiling to myself, I quickly dialed my mom’s number. She picked up on the second ring.“Hello, my sugar,” she answered, her voice warm and full of love. “How is everything going?”“Everything is going so well,” I replied happily. “We just settled in. How is everybody over there?”It took her a moment before she answered. “We’re all good. We just hope you’re having a great time.”"I am," I said with a smile. "Is everything okay? Hope nothing happened?” I asked, growing curious about her hesitation.“Oh no, Payton, nothing is happening,” she said with a light laugh. “Just enjoy yourself. You deserve to be happy, my love.”“Thank you so much, Mom. I love you so much.”“I love you too, my baby girl.” We both burst into laughter, the familiar sound warming my heart.“Alright th
That same morning, after saying our goodbyes to my family, Teddy and I set off for our little getaway. I was behind the wheel of my brand-new car — still barely able to believe it was actually mine — while Teddy sat in the passenger seat, giving me directions with that calm, confident voice of his. The roads stretched out ahead of us, winding through sun-dappled trees and open fields. I had never been this happy in such a long time. Pure, bubbling joy filled my chest until I felt like I might float right out of the driver’s seat. Please, God, I prayed silently, let this feeling last forever. Teddy was everything I never knew I needed — patient, thoughtful, and full of the most wonderful surprises. I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him. The way the sunlight caught his features, the easy smile that played on his lips whenever he caught me looking… I was completely smitten. I felt so lucky to know him. Even luckier to love him.After a couple of hours, we finally pulled up to a stunni
Payton's POVI woke up the next morning feeling... extraordinary. Sunlight filtered softly through the curtains, warming my skin as I stretched lazily beneath the sheets. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had slept deeply and peacefully. A contented smile tugged at my lips when I reached out, expecting to find Teddy’s warm body beside me. But the bed was empty. He was gone. But I knew he didn't want to disturb my sleep since I was so into it that I didn't realize when he left. He is so sweet.I took a slow, deep breath, my heart still fluttering from the memories of last night. God, it had been perfect. He had been so gentle, so attentive, treating my body like something precious. Every touch, every whispered word, every lingering kiss had made me feel cherished in a way I’d never thought I would experience again. I’d never imagined I could be this happy, this loved once again.I let out a small sigh before climbing out of bed. After getting dressed, I quietly slipped o
“Oh my God!” She burst into surprised laughter, playfully pounding my shoulder. “You are so naughty. Get off me.”But I didn’t move. Instead, I held her gaze with that slow, heated stare I knew always undid her. “But you like it,” I said, my voice rough with want. “I know you like it.” I murmured against her lips before kissing her deeply, passionately. She melted into me, kissing me back with equal hunger, her hands sliding up my chest.I caught her wrists gently, still kissing her, and wrapped her arms around my neck. My hands roamed down her body, sliding under the hem of her dress. I caressed her smooth thighs, moving higher until my fingers brushed over her panties. She moaned softly into my mouth as I rubbed slow circles over her clit through the thin lace.“Teddy… what are you doing?” she whispered breathlessly, eyes wide with a mix of shock and arousal. “My family is right out there…”“Which makes it even more exciting, doesn’t it?” I replied, my voice thick with desire as I p
That morning, I slipped out of Payton’s room quietly, leaving her still sleeping peacefully. I made my way to the backyard and sat at the large wooden table, staring off into the distance as thoughts swirled in my head. The peaceful quiet didn’t last long.“Hello there,” a warm voice greeted me.I turned and saw Grandma Jane approaching. I immediately stood up with a respectful smile.“Good morning, Grandma,” I said, pulling out a chair for her. “Please, have a seat.”“Oh, Teddy. Good morning.” She sat down gracefully, and I returned to my chair beside her.“What are you doing out here by yourself so early?” she asked gently.I exhaled slowly. “I’ve just got a lot on my mind. I came out here to think.”“Is it about my granddaughter?”I nodded. “Payton… She's really wonderful. I want to do right by her.”Grandma Jane smiled softly, her eyes kind and knowing. “I understand. Payton doesn’t need much to love. Just try and be yourself. I think that will be more than enough.”Before I could
She kept pressing soft kisses to my cheeks, then my neck. When her warm mouth latched onto my neck and sucked hard, I moaned deeply, my hands instinctively gripping her hips.“Stay still,” she whispered seductively into my ear.Then she bit my earlobe, licking and sucking it relentlessly. The overwhelming pleasure made my vision blur. I nearly passed out from how good it felt—intense, electric sparks shooting straight down my spine.“Oh baby…” I whispered hoarsely.She continued her slow descent, kissing and biting her way across my chest. My breathing grew ragged and heavy. Every muscle in my body was tense, wired from her touch. I wasn’t used to just lying back and receiving like this, but fuck… it felt incredible. Almost too good.Her lips closed around one of my nipples. She sucked hard, then bit down gently while her fingers teased and pinched the other. “Ahhh… oh my God,” I groaned, eyes squeezing shut as waves of pleasure crashed through me. I was losing my mind. My thoughts s
Months later, I was in my study, buried in paperwork with my morning coffee steaming beside me, when Payton slipped in. She looked flushed and radiant, a soft glow about her that made me smile despite myself.Ever since that rainy day incident, she’d come back to life—brighter, lighter. She hummed
We sat in silence in the tub, her back pressed against my chest, my left hand resting on her waist. Too many thoughts crashed through my mind. Why would Peyton train in the rain? Even if she was hurting, I was hurting more. I had to do everything to make sure she was okay—and she didn’t even seem t
I stepped out of the bedroom into the living room. The house was pitch dark except for the moonlight pouring through the glass windows, bright and silver, falling straight across the sofa where Payton lay curled up.I smiled softly and walked over, then crouched in front of her. My fingers brushed
Months had passed, and it felt like Payton was finally beginning to heal. I was relieved, yet every time I thought of Mia—our baby—the guilt still clawed at me. I had to stay strong for both of us.That Monday morning, I was in the living room on a business call with investors.“Mr. Pascal, I’m tru
