Raymond slowly pulled away and Tessa frowned immediately.

The kiss had completely thrown her off balance, and if she was being honest with herself, she wanted more.

Anyone in her position probably would have.

Watching the huge upheaval of his chest, she knew he wanted more too, so she didn't understand why he was stopping now.

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 67 - Dangerous Woman

    The shrill ringtone cut through the quiet room, making both Tessa and Raymond stirr at the same time.Tessa groaned softly and reached for the bedside lamp, blinking against the sudden light. The clock beside her bed read 5:02 a.m.Raymond pushed himself up on one elbow and frowned."Babe, who's calling by this time?"Tessa shrugged."I wish I knew."She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and glanced at the screen.The moment she saw the name, she paused."Derek."Raymond saw it too.His expression changed instantly.Tessa was surprised about the call coming in that early and almost laughed at Raymond’s expression alongside.The jealousy was becoming easier and easier to spot.She answered the call and immediately placed it on speaker."Hello?""Hi, friend."Derek's cheerful voice filled the room. He was too active for that time."Been a while."Tessa smiled."Thank you. Is everything okay? Did you sleep at all? Why are you calling so early?""Haha… So many questions. Yeah, everyth

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 66 - Secrets

    Raymond tried to chase after Tessa as she stormed into the bedroom.But she didn't look back, neither did she slow down nor acknowledge him.Instead, she walked straight into the closet and shut the door behind her.The loud bang echoed through the room stopping Raymond in his tracks.For a moment, he simply stood there, staring at the closed door.Then he cursed under his breath.He hated this.More than anything, he hated knowing that he was the reason she was upset.The first time Danielle reached out, he had wanted to tell Tessa.He really had.But then he had looked over at her sleeping peacefully beside him and changed his mind.She looked so calm, safe and happy.And the last thing he wanted was to drag Danielle's chaos back into her life.So he had convinced himself he would handle it.He planned to keep Danielle away, deal with the threats and protect Tessa from the stress of it all.At the time, it had felt like the right decision.Looking back now, it felt like the stupides

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 65 - Danielle Again

    Tessa was sitting on a hammock in the background that cool evening, a book was open in her hands, but she wasn’t reading it. Her eyes kept drifting to nothing in particular, her mind racing somewhere between calm and uneasy.Raymond had been with her earlier, talking lightly, kissing her forehead before stepping out for a work call.“Don’t move,” he had said with a smile. “I’ll be back soon.”She had laughed and then protested weakly“I’m not your hostage.”He grinned and kissed her softly.“You kind of are.”And then he was gone.His second phone had been left on the table beside her and she hadn’t paid attention to it at first, until it beeped.She ignored it at first.Then it beeped again.Something in her paused and urged her to check it out.Slowly, she reached for it, she hesitated for a second and then picked it up.The screen lit up that instant and another message came in from an unknown number.And another.Her brows slowly tightened as she started reading.Tessa’s breath sl

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 64 - The Threat

    "OMG! Raymond, you have to see this!"Tessa's voice echoed from the bathroom.Raymond practically ran in, nearly stumbling over his own feet."Jesus, woman. Don't give me a heart attack. What's wrong?" He exclaimed, his eyebrows raised in concern as he took in Tessa’s position… Hair dryer in one hand, phone in another, and an astonished look plastered on her face.Tessa grinned."Guess.""Girl, I’m literally clueless.""Come on, at least try.."Raymond folded his arms."Fine. Your blog got a new subscription?"Tessa burst out laughing."Wow. That’s actually a very horrible guess… Of all things."Raymond smirked and raised a shoulder in defiance “I mean, I told you na”She handed him her phone.The moment he read the headline, his eyes widened."Wow."Tessa nodded.The headline was bold and impossible to miss.Danielle had reportedly lost one of her biggest sponsorship deals with a leading global fashion brand. The article cited the controversy surrounding the allegations against her,

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 63 - Home II

    Tessa had barely stepped through the door when she froze.The apartment looked… alive. Too alive. Everywhere was bustling in colours and sweet smells of fresh roses. The faint smell of dinner drifted through the air, warm and intentional, like someone had been cooking for hours. The dining table was perfectly set. Plates arranged neatly. Cutlery aligned like it had been thought through, not rushed.And then there was Raymond.He was standing there like he had been waiting for her arrival his whole life and staring at her as though she was another dessert that he badly wanted to consume.Tessa blinked slowly.“What is going on?” she asked, taking a step further inside. “Why does it feel like I just walked into a surprise party I wasn’t told about?”Raymond smiled.That slow, easy smile that always did something inconvenient to her chest.“Well…” he said simply.Tessa narrowed her eyes.“That is not an answer.”He shrugged slightly, walking toward her.“What other answer do you need?

Raymond’s heart started to beat a bit faster as her large eyes trained on him."Why did you stop?"The question escaped before she could stop it.A smile tugged at the corner of Raymond's mouth.Then he pressed a kiss to her forehead."Trust me, babe," he murmured. "There's nothing I want more right now than to take you right now, in the most unfashionable way possible… and show you just how much I love you."His eyes remained fixed on hers while his thumb grazed her face slowly.."But I can'

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 45 - Caught in the Middle

    Tessa had convinced herself that once she was back home, Raymond would simply settle her in and leave. But Raymond did not retreat. At least, this version of him didn’t.He had quickly stepped down and crossed to the other side of the car to get the door for her and as soon as the car door clicked

    Tessa didn’t leave her apartment for the rest of the week. Not for frequent early morning run or even to pick up the meals she ordered… she simply opened the door, grabbed the tray, and shut it again like she was afraid the hallway might bite her.At first, she told herself it was because she didn’

    Tessa stared along cluelessly first at the boy, then back to Raymond who was already shutting the door after giving what appeared to be a nod to him.“You are not answering my question, Tessa. Who’s the damned man sending you flowers?”Tessa was furious and she was unable to hide it much longer. “H

  • When Obsession Wears a Ring   Chapter 42 - I Will Wait for You

    Tessa woke up the next day in the arms of an unclad Raymond. She wasn’t clear on how they landed there. The last thing she remembered was going to bed hungry and alone. She was fully dressed and didn’t remember any other thing happening. Of course Raymond still had some trace of decency left.She wa
