When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 50 - Mine for the Taking.
The event went off pretty well, with Raymond and Tessa being the highlight of the evening. Tessa noticed Raymond’s presence around her throughout. He never left her side for a second. Even when people tried to take him aside to discuss something, he would still hold her tight. It did make her feel a tad bit important, but something about her guards was still up.Her heart was clenched for a good part of the evening, as a part of her half expected the other woman to show up. She would occasionally make out figures that looked like her, only to realize it wasn’t when they came closer.It would not have been unusual for her to show up if she eventually did. She was already high-profile and always followed Raymond to events like this. Tessa was a bit relieved, embarrassingly so when she discovered at the end of the evening that Danielle didn’t show up. She tried to hide it to preserve her nonchalant aura around Raymond while beaming inside. But something told her that Raymond had already
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 49 - She's All Mine
Shortly after, they arrived in New York, and after settling into their hotel, Tessa had to push away the distractions as she began her beauty preparations. This would be her first night out with him and for GTO!Man, she was nervous but tried not to show it as the designers, makeup artists, and stylists got to work. Raymond walked in occasionally to check on her and crack a few jokes. She had never seen that side of him before. It was strange to realize that you could be married to someone for years without knowing they even had a sense of humor.Tessa watched again as he strolled in, holding a saucer with some cake on it.“Do you want some? You haven’t eaten anything since we landed.”Tessa shook her head. Her stomach was clenched, and the nervousness that enveloped her wouldn’t let her take a bite of anything. She feared she might throw up.“If you say no, then I might have to feed you myself,” Raymond said, nudging the beauty team around her to leave, until it was just the two of t
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 48 - Right Here With Me
The next day, Tessa walked into Raymond’s private jet as they prepared to depart for New York. She almost cried as he held her tightly and guided her up the stairs and into the jet. This would be the first time she had traveled with him to a public event. She had had the man of every woman’s dreams all those years, but never had a chance to publicly claim him as hers.As though he noticed the sudden sadness that enveloped her, he pulled her into a warm hug that melted it all away.“I’m going to make it right, I promise,” he said cutely.Tessa almost laughed at the expression on his face. Did he actually think she was sad about the exposure?He noticed the new expression on her face and made to ask, but Tessa shook her head and said, “You know, I was just thinking about how this would be my first time flying with you on a trip this big. It’s just a bit weird,” she finished with a chuckle, noticing the shift in his expression almost immediately—like a child who suddenly regrets their ac
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 47 - Trust Me
Tessa awoke to the soft, gentle brush of fingers through her hair. For a moment, she thought she was still dreaming. Then, the warmth behind her eyelids anchored her: she could feel hot breaths blowing on her face. She opened her eyes slowly, and the world came into focus in fragments: the soft morning light spilling across the room, the faint scent of coffee lingering in the air, and most arresting of all, the steady, warm gaze of Raymond, bent slightly over her.His eyes held something she hadn’t seen before: a mix of concern, desire, and something protective, almost desperate. Memories of the night before flashed unbidden… his hands on her, the sharp, thrilling intensity of his kiss. He had carried her all the way to the bedroom, his hands were roaming around her body and just as he was about to lift the hem of her night dress, she whispered “no,” and he stopped… but the fire behind his restraint had scorched itself into her mind.Raymond’s lips moved now, brushing gently against
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 46 - Mine
Tessa could see Derek’s frame as she moved closer, wide-eyed, disbelief etched into every line of his face. “What the… what the fuck are you doing here?” he demanded, staring directly at Raymond as if he had just walked into some twisted fever dream.Raymond didn’t budge. Not an inch. Not even a flicker of hesitation. “I should be asking that. You’re not coming in by the way. Go back to wherever you are coming from,” he said flatly, his frame solid, immovable. His hands were tense at his sides, but his eyes were locked on Derek like he could melt him with a look alone.“I… I can’t believe this man,” Derek stammered, disbelief mingled with a trace of anger. “After all this… after everything… you’re just back? In her apartment?”Raymond’s jaw tightened. “Even worse, I live here now. And I’m staying.” He leaned slightly forward, the kind of lean that didn’t threaten Derek physically but suggested that crossing him would be catastrophic.Tessa’s mind raced. She tried to step forward, hand
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 behind her, Raymond’s hands were on her shoulders, steadying her as she swayed slightly from the lingering dizziness. “You okay?” he asked, voice calm, but his eyes sharp, scanning her like she was a delicate artifact that might break if he blinked the wrong way.“I… I’m fine,” Tessa muttered, brushing off the concern as if she could wipe it clean with the back of her hand. But Raymond wasn’t buying it.“Do you need me to carry you up?” He probed further. Tessa laughed when she saw the small crease on his face.“Hell no, Ray. I can absolutely walk by myself.” He nodded and put his hand across her waist, guiding her slowly to the entrance, and stairs.He helped her up the stairs, slowly, car
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 44 - You Again
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’
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 43 - Who Sent the Flowers?
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
When Obsession Wears a Ring Chapter 41 - No Distance in Love
Raymond turned slowly to stare at her as she entered the room and smirked slowly when his eyes went to the knife she held out. He could see her trembling hands and all he wanted was to stand up and melt into her arms, but no, he would take his time, else he would scare her away.“Hi,” he said when
