~Devin~
“You good?” I asked her when she dared to look into my eyes.
~Ren~Cali was bugging me all night for details about my stay with Devin. She won’t believe me that we didn’t do the deed, so here I am in front of the food truck, in need of too much caffeine on a Monday morning.
This chapter is R-18*******************~Ren~The week almost went on in a smooth flow. Devin’s kind gestures towards me and his employees continued to excite everyone. They actually congratulated me - that wasn’t necessary - one way or the other. The attention being given to us by my co-employees was starting to feel usual to me. Although, sometimes I still feel that I don’t belong in Devin’s perfect world.Devin called me to his office by Friday morning.“Did you need anything?” I was a little puzzled because Friday was a lean day for him.“Come here, Babe” that endearment he uses towards me is getting familiar as the day goes by. He motioned me to sit on his lap but I didn’t do as he asked. “Here” he patted his lap, but I shook my head.“We’re in your office, Devin” I bit my lip. His offer was tempting. However, I need to stay in my place.&
This chapter is R-18*******************~Devin~Soft lips were caressing mine, warm hands were tracing my jaw and torso under my shirt. I knew it was Ren. A smile tugged my lips.If waking up beside her would be like this every day, I’d ask her to move in with me then.When I opened my eyes, her lips were still kissing me and I kissed her with equal fervor. She crawled over my body, her legs on both sides of my waist. My hands were drawing circles on her bare legs. I like that she wore the silk nighties I bought for her, but she just couldn’t let go of her obsession with sweatshirts.“Babe” I groaned when her core rubbed above my growing erection.“Hmm?” her eyes flicker with desire, her lips left my mouth, and placed soft kisses on my neck. I like what she’s doing, but I know that she isn’t ready for me.I held both of her wrists and pinned her back on the bed. She yelped in sur
~Devin~Have you ever felt an itch in your back that you can’t reach? The kind that even if you bend your hand upward or downward, you still can’t reach to rub that itch? Gross analogy, but that’s what I’m feeling right now.

~Ren~Greece is really pretty humid, but beautiful. I didn’t even know that Devin’s family owns an island. An entire freaking island!Whew. Crazy rich people.After his private jet landed in Athens, we boarded a chopper for another thirty minutes; I got a glimpse of the beautiful island the Mávros owns. Miles of clear blue water surround the island. Through the glass walls, their family mansion reflects the vast, powerful ocean. Waves and waves as far as the eye can see were being mirrored by the chalk white walls, emanating the light blue shade of the house. Each whistle of the ocean breeze made the tree leaves sway in tune, allowing me to feel a good connection with nature.The interior of the mansion was even breathtaking. The glass wall allowed the
~Ren~Two pairs of the same green irises, the same shade looking back at me when I look in the mirror, stared back at me. “Ren,” my sister broke the long awkward silence as I stared blankly at them.Everything ceased to exist. The classical piece from the orchestra matching the theme of the event, the low chatter and laugh of the guests, the clutter of the glasses and silverware, gone… just like that. All I could focus on is the rapid beating of my heart.I can’t believe Cali didn’t tell me that they’ll be here. She knows how I detest seeing Mr. Reed. She knows that I would never go to any gathering where he is on the guest list.“I need a drink,” turning my back on them, Devin caught my arms before I could walk away. His
~Ren~ The colorful sparkling decoration of the Christmas tree we put up earlier is dancing in my husband's and son’s eyes. Devin lifted Griffin by his waist, our son held the star in his hands as he reached up and put it on the top of the Christmas tree. “Now, Mama,” Griffin said, giving me a convincing nod. I was holding the plug of the Christmas tree, connecting it with the outlet, the lights came to life and the star above the six-foot tree twinkled with different luminous colors. Griffin giggled as Devin peppered him with kisses on his cheeks. “Can I?” our son asked for the twentieth time today. He’s very excited to open the present Devin has for him. It’s not that we don’t celebrate Christmas before, but this is Griffin’s first Christmas with his father. “Can’t wait after midnight, buddy?” Devin ruffled Griffin’s hair, setting him down on his feet. Griffin pouted, looking a little thoughtful before he answered. “I can, Pap
I’m so sorry about the delay in my update. Please enjoy this additional chapter.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~Devin~ “Are you happy?” Ren mumbled after I made her twirl on our first dance as husband and wife. “Of course,” I grabbed her waist and pulled her back in my arms as we continued to sway on the tune of Shane Filan’s Beautiful In White. “Why wouldn’t I be happy. You’re wearing mom’s ring and my name is now yours.” She giggled, leaning her face on my chest as she wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. “I love you.” “You’re mine completely, you don’t have a choice but to love me,” I teased her and she squeezed me with her light force. “Cara is here.” I looked at my visionless artist friend who was dancing with Klaus. “Yes,” Ren looked over Klaus and Cara. “I met her the day before we left Manhattan. Did you know I got jealous of her?” Cara is a fifteen-year-old girl who lives next door to my place. We became friends when I helped
Hey Babes, I’m so sorry about the glitch. Before reading this one, please check the previous chapter. Thank you so much for staying with me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devin~I watched Ren and Griffin walk on the shore, barefoot, hand in hand as I grilled the fish I caught earlier. They were picking up shellfish in front of our beach house in Barbados, the sound of their laughter was mingling with the waves crashing on the shore.Ren waved at me while Griffin held a starfish in his hand and showed it to his Mama.We came here yesterday and Ren hasn't greeted me happy birthday yet.I’ve never celebrated my birthday, I had no reason to. Mom and Eve were the only people who greeted me on my birthday until I was recognized by the public as one of the youngest business tycoons in the world. People started sending me gifts, greetings, wishes, but none really mattered to me since they didn't know the real me. I thanked them, but the love I was longi
~Devin~Ren’s recovery is faster than what I expected, she’s going back to her usual routine around the house within just three days. Even with the bandage still around her shoulder, she helps Mrs. Kelvin in the kitchen in the morning and prepares food for Griffin and me.Who was I to object when the girl I love prepares food for me and our son? Although I am worried about her condition, I can see that the spark in her eyes is back. Those glints that were missing when she first opened her eyes in the ambulance. It scared the shit out of me, seeing how pale she was, slowly losing life. It’s a nightmare, a horror I wouldn’t dare challenge to come to us again.“Papa,” Griffin was rubbing his eyes, standing beside me while I was watching Ren silently from the entrance frame of the kitchen. My son opened his arms so wide, a gesture he does when he wants me to carry him.He’s a big boy now, not a baby anymore, but I&rsq
~Ren~Am I dead? I guess not. My body hurts like a bitch everywhere. Even my pinky is aching. They say that death is peaceful, like an endless emptiness. I’m sure that this isn’t it.The ambulance and police sirens are so loud, people chattering around me. My eyelids were heavy, as if they were glued together and won’t let go of the other. Stupid eyelids.“Ren… please…” I heard his voice. Why is Devin sad? Is he crying? “Ren, hang on.”Something must’ve slammed shut, a door perhaps and I felt warm hands enclosed mine. I knew it was Devin, his scent lingers in the air overpowering the foul smell of blood. Trying to squeeze his hand back, I groaned when I f
~Devin~Watching Ren Sleep in my arms peacefully is my favorite time of the day, except for those ‘practice’ things we do of course, and spending time with Griffin.I’d never get tired of admiring her beautiful features, her long brown wavy hair draped over the sheets of our bed and my arms. Tucking away some mischievous locks that surround her face, I trailed my fingers along her cheeks to her jaws and brushed my thumb over her pinkish full lips. These lips that I can’t get enough of.“I love you,” I fondled my lips over
~Ren~“Mama,” Griffin climbs on my lap as Natalie and I listen to a few singers who are aspiring to make a break in the music industry.My son requested for me to write his name with his father’s surname and he’s been pretty busy shading the paper with incoherent patterns while I work.He’s excited about it, ecstatic even. He jumped high and low when we told him about the news, both he and his father were fairly excited to see the papers even if Griffin couldn’t understand them yet.
~Ren~My heart aches for Devin. Hearing him say that he isn’t worthy of becoming a father is making my heart clench.I can’t help but blame myself for adding fuel to the doubt he was feeling right now. As I watched him sleep peacefully, I reached for his hair and twirled a few locks in my fingers. His hair is longer. It gives him more of that bad boy vibe and I like it so much. He really is the older version of Griffin. Their full lips, their blue hues and long thick lashes, even their nose were very similar. I bet my son would be such a charmer when he grows up like his father.
~Ren~“Why?” was my stupid response. This is not what I was expecting to hear from Devin.I’m happy, don’t get me wrong, ecstatic even, but I think he’s making irrational decisions. Lightning-fast decisions that could either make us or break us.“I love you,” he held my face in his big warm hands, electric shocks flowing through my whole body. “And I want to be with you for as long as I live, Ren.” His eyes looking straight into my green ones.
