--Warning Mature Content--Ryker's POV'I think I'm going crazy.'What happened at the lagoon keeps replaying in my mind like a boomerang. My body and mind are still stuck with that scenario. I immediately drank the beer I was holding."Are you not going to tell me where you two were earlier?"I just glanced at Russell. "Ryker brought me to a lagoon," Claire said."Lagoon? Is there a lagoon here?" Russell said, shocked."I thought you'd moved on? Why did you come back to that place?" Daniel asked.Russell turned towards her husband. "And you know there is a lagoon here?" She glanced at Claire. "That is unfair! How come I didn't know?""I told you I've moved on," I said, and then I drank beer again."But what are you doing there?" Daniel asked."What happened at that lagoon?" Russell asked."Baby, that's where Alice ended her relationship with Ryker.""Seriously?"I stated, "I just want to go there to prove to myself that I'm over him.""You saw each other the last time, didn't you? Yo
Ryker's POVThe next day, a knock awoke me. I turned to my side, and Claire was no longer there. As soon as I remembered what had happened, I immediately sat on the bed and pulled on the comforter, where I saw a blood stain."Shit!" I put on shorts right away because all I had on were boxers. Someone keeps knocking on my cabin's door. I held my head up and looked around.I blew some air. Claire's away. Why did she leave? I went right to the bathroom to see if Claire was there, but she wasn't there.'Oh, crap, what have I done?'"Dude, are you awake yet?" it was Daniel's voice.I quickly covered the bed with a comforter and went to the door. As soon as it opened, I saw Daniel. He was alone. I was relieved because I thought Claire had already left and didn't say goodbye to me because of what had happened."Did you get too drunk last night and wake up at noon?""Claire? Is she okay? Is she with Russell? "Daniel scowled. Daniel stared at me, and then his eyes grew bigger. "Shit, dude, di
Ryker's POV'Who the hell...' I thought.I frowned when I saw the man's hand on Claire's shoulder, but she seemed okay. I can't believe she left me after our intimate night for this guy. This guy isn't even half as good-looking as I am, and he seems to know nothing but arrogance and nothing about beds. I looked at the man from his feet to his head. His clothes are nice, but I can't take my upset away from him."What are you doing, Ryker?" asked Claire."I would like to talk to you, but who is this man?" I asked."Ah, he is the..." Claire started, but the man next to her spoke up."Her boyfriend. I'm Heiji." The man even reached out his hand to me, but I just slightly tapped it away."Ryker," I said. "Are you kidding me? Claire isn't dating anyone."The man turned to Claire. "Really?" he asked."Ahm, you should go inside first, Heiji. We'll talk," Claire said to the man."Wakatta, demo kiwotsukete. Aitsu wa kigengawarui mitaida ne." Heiji whispered. I scoffed because he still whispered
Ryker's POV"What? We can take action against that. Claire wasn't drunk when that happened, and you didn't make her, so you can't be charged with r-pe. You will win this case."Daniel and I sat on a bar stool at the resort where he and Russell stayed. Daniel said Russell was tired and sleeping when he left her in their cabin. I went there so I could talk to someone. It's because Claire doesn't want to get engaged to me. He doesn't want to marry me because she just said she would care for her father and wouldn't say bad things about me anymore."Damn it!" I drank what was in my glass, and the bartender filled it up again. "It's annoying because I feel like a woman chasing her after what happened."Daniel chuckled. "So that's how women feel when we suddenly leave them after we've tasted them. Damn, it seemed hard.""Dude, that seems silly. You know she's the v*rgin, but I'm the one who seems offended by her. What a terrible insult she made to me! She also liked what we did." I finished
--- Warning Mature Content--Ryker's POV'That guy is bothersome. It looks like I need to keep an eye on Claire.' I thought.I took a deep breath as I looked at the door to Claire's room. I was going to knock, but then I thought I could open the door. I grabbed the door handle and turned it gently, and it surprised me when it opened. I scowled.'Haist, she never closes her room door when that man is still around? What if that man came in here while she was naked?' I thought.I tightened my jaw while thinking about that. I finally turned the doorknob, and it opened. I peered in a little first, and when I was sure it was safe to go in, I pushed the door open and went inside. I looked around the room. It was the first time I went into Claire's room. I chuckled as I looked around. The room's thick white curtains contrast with the pink walls. Behind the glass wall, there is a big telescope.'I didn't know that she was interested in stars. Russell never told me anything about this.' I thoug
Ryker's POV'Damn.'I took a deep breath after I closed the door to Claire's room. I can't calm down yet. After she reached the limit, she lost consciousness sooner. I was scared because his head almost hit the sink. Luckily, I was able to support her. He doesn't seem to remember anything that happened. Maybe he thought she was dreaming when it was all real. But that's fine because I don't want her to think that I took advantage of her weakness a second time."I'm also a man and know what you did to Claire."I looked at Heiji, standing a meter from where I was. I was facing him."I do not know what you are saying.""Don't let her marry you if you don't want to," Heiji said. "I've known Claire since we were kids, so I won't let you treat her like this.""How can you say you know him? Are you with each other every day? Do you know what she likes and dislikes? Who was she with when she got her period for the first time? Do you know who her first kiss was with?" I noticed that Heiji was s
Claire's POV'Earlier, I was so thrilled that I thought I would pass out from joy. Oh, Ryker, why are you messing with my feelings?'When Ryker dropped me off at my house, he also took off. I immediately went to my room. I quickly got into bed, covered my face with a pillow, and screamed what Ryker did, keep coming back to haunt me like a boomerang. The thing between my thighs was throbbing from the memory of Ryler's wet tongue.'Damn.'I closed my eyes as my mind went back to what had happened in the bathroom. I knew it wasn't a dream. I was sure of it. If it were just a dream, my body wouldn't remember the rhythm of Ryker's fingers and tongue on my skin and flesh. My body warmed up when I thought about that, and my hips moved slightly."I liked what he did," I said after I sat down. "Whoa, what was he thinking? Was he interested in me because I was naked and..." I held my breast in both hands. "Did he like touching this?"I frowned and took off my sandals. Then I sat in the Indian s
Ryker's POV"Tss, he can't possibly do the pegging."I took a deep breath and continued to walk. I had just gotten to the door when I remembered that I needed to call Claire. When I took my phone out of my pocket, I frowned when I didn't see a message or even a missed call from Claire."Tsk, why won't she answer my calls and texts? What the hell is that guy doing?" I started to get annoyed.I called the number Mama gave me. It was Heiji's number, and since Claire didn't have her phone, I had to call that man. Several rings also went by before the man answered."Moshi moshi!""Hello, this is Claire's fiancée. I want to talk to her.""So it is you. How did you know my phone number?""Mama gave it to me. I need to talk to Claire. Can you give her the phone?""Why should I do that?"I cocked my head. "I need to talk to her, so please, can you...""Your time's up. She's mine tonight, so sleep and wait for your turn.""What did you say?" I even heard him smirking on the other line."We're b
CLAIREAs the excitement for our second wedding grew, a question remained in the air. Russell asked, “Are you still feeling nervous about the honeymoon?” He wanted to know if there were any worries left.Russell and I were sitting next to each other, and our eyes were locked for a moment. A tiny baby was in her arms, and she was holding it perfectly. Ryker and Daniel were busy with other young investors and businessmen in the distance. My husband Ryker and I’s wedding reception is over. There weren’t many people there. Professor Alice and her husband, Alex, were there, along with Daniel’s friends and past coworkers. After what happened to Russell, which Ryan caused, these people had become like family.There’s been a secret growing inside me for four months now. My condition’s symptoms have failed to appear despite time. Russell’s body is now back to how it was before. A feeling of envy came over me as I looked at her. Her beautiful curves and toned muscles on her body made her look st
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTRYKER"Ugh! F-ck!" I cautiously inserted my finger and felt her essence wrap around it, warm and moist.Claire's groan of frustration echoed off the walls as I stubbornly continued to trace circles over her breast and pull her n-pple softly into my lips. She started swaying her hips in time to the rhythm of my touch as I stretched my finger towards her."Love!" I exclaimed, "You're making me so horny!" I stopped the tender stroking of her n-pples as I carefully removed my finger from her. I kneeled at the foot of the bed and helped her legs rest there. Instantly, I opened the space between her legs and explored her slickness with all my enthusiasm."Aaaah, Ryker!" Claire's back arched.I pressed my lips against her wetness and kissed her labia. As Claire's hips raised, my hands immediately sought to cradle them. Her hips floated effortlessly in the air as I continued devouring her. With a burning yearning, I started to enjoy her with the intimate contact of my
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTRYKER"I love you, love!"Claire's forehead felt the soft pressure of my lips as they traced a path of tenderness down to her nose. Then, as if pulled by some unseen magnet, our lips locked in a passionate, beautiful kiss. After a passionate exchange, our bodies heaved with tiredness, and our breath was ragged and laborious as we lay entwined. My finger lightly stroked her face in a sweet, sensitive gesture.I softly whispered, "Hey, love, how about we get married again?" My voice was unsure. "While still your baby bump is hidden."Claire screamed, "What?" with genuine amazement in her voice. The words floated in the air, an inquiry loaded with doubt. "But wait, aren't we already married?"When I finally got off of her, I curled up next to her with my arms around her and kissed her. She laid her head on my chest, and I let her take in the sound of my heart beating."But you still use your birth name, right?" I murmured, a note of exasperation in my voice. I tri
RYKER"Dude, it's too late!"Both Russell and Daniel were making noises that we could hear in the background. Suddenly, Claire looked at me again."Love, it looks like Russell is in labor; he won't make it to the hospital. Make an appointment with the doctor right away!" Claire's voice filled the room."What? Is Russell having a baby?" I was shocked. "Wait, it's my phone." I was just quickly searching through my car, my eyes darting around from one spot to another. I freaked out when I couldn't find my phone. "Hey, do you know where my phone is?" I asked, with a blank expression on my face, as the words just slipped out."We're using it, Ryker," Claire said.Suddenly, Russell yelled, "Hey Daniel, the baby is on its way! Get ready to catch him!" You need to be ready to catch him!" Russell, clearly upset, yelled loudly in the background."F-ck!" The voice that could be heard all over the room belonged to Daniel.After a while, Claire and I got scared when we heard the sound of a baby cr
RYKER“Are you sure about that?” I casually asked Claire, acting like I already knew the answer. You don’t like pineapple, right?”As we were strolling through the grocery store, it was pretty obvious that we had picked up almost every type of fruit they had for sale. Fruit is becoming Claire’s favorite food!“Smooth-textured dragon fruit?” I raised an eyebrow in shock and said, “Seriously?” I raised an eyebrow as I asked the question.Clare nodded. “Yeah,” she said, “I prefer yellow-skinned dragon fruit.”I kept looking at Claire and studying her carefully. Where can I find dragon fruit with that yellow and smooth texture?Intrigued, Claire said, “Why do you appear to have such a peculiar appearance? Are you not going to find me a dragon fruit?” Claire’s expression furrowed as she spoke. She pouted her lips to show her displeasure. Midway through our chat, Claire voiced her dissatisfaction, her tone laced with pain. She said gently, “You promised to give me everything, my love,” her
RYKERMom’s voice trembled as she spoke, “It’s fine, I understand.” My mother-in-law spoke, her voice echoing through the room.Food was brought by Claire’s parents. Uncertain of Claire’s preferences, I find myself unable to determine whether she will enjoy the dish.“Wasn’t Claire affected by Heiji’s drug? No one knows that she’s pregnant.” Dad’s voice echoed through the room.“There is nothing, the doctor stated. However, the doctor suggests we let Claire’s blood and everything else be tested so we can be sure. Even so, Dad, I want to be certain.”“I want to sue Heiji for his actions,” Dad said. “I won’t let him just walk away, even if it’s claimed that he didn’t touch Claire that evening, but your mother.” A hint of irritation tinged Dad’s voice as he cast a glance at Mom’s direction. “Just accept it as is. She seems not to care about my daughter at all.”“My daughter Claire is also mine. It doesn’t mean I no longer care, even if I disagree with your desire to sue Heiji. I consider
RYKER“Are we back home?” Her eyes darted around, taking in her immediate surroundings while the question lingered in the air. A feeling of uneasiness pervaded the air as if she were waiting for confirmation.Claire’s eyes shifted to mine as I cautiously undid her seatbelt. “Yeah,” I said with a simple nod. “How was you sleeping?”We decided to go back to the familiar surroundings of Manila after a few more days in the picturesque town of Sagada. I was tired and weary after the long drive. My limbs, too, were weighed down by throbbing pain. To be sure Claire was okay, I drove very slowly and steadily.There was a palpable feeling of hurry when the safety belt was undone. Quickly, I extended a hand to help her out of the car. I took her hand in mine, my voice full of worry as I pleaded, “Please, my love, be careful.”At Claire’s teasing chuckle, I couldn’t help but look in her direction. She reassured me that there was no need for me to offer my help and that she was well on her own.M
RYKER“But... she’s bleeding. Wasn’t she having a miscarriage?” I asked in worry.The doctor informed the patient that bleeding during pregnancy is normal, especially for a few weeks into the pregnancy. The bleeding was not serious, and the faint spotting and occasional bleeding were harmless until the bleeding became excessive. There's no need to panic. That means...“The baby is safe.”I exclaimed, “Shit!” out of excitement. My voice rang out. With a quick movement, I looked at the doctor instead. I said, “Sorry,” and then my eyes returned to Claire. My voice was barely audible, so I wasn’t sure whether she heard me apologize. I proclaimed, “I am going to be a daddy!” with a massive smile. As I look at Claire, an overwhelming sense of happiness floods me.“Your wife mentioned that you reside in Manila. Therefore, I suggest you return to Manila first, even if your wife’s health is fine.” The doctor stated, “I noticed that the wife is a little weak and, if I’m not mistaken, that she h
RYKER“Love!”When I stopped the car in front of the house, I felt a burning need to escape it. I ran faster as I made my way to the front door. My attention was focused entirely on Claire. I didn’t even look at Manang Greta once. Instantly, the door opened, and I quickly looked around the room for Claire.“Miss Claire is in your room.”I quickly went up the stairs because I was eager to get to our room as soon as possible and didn’t wait for Danica to answer. As the door opened, I yelled throughout the room for Claire.“Love!”Regrettably, I found out that she wasn’t in the room. Although I was walking down the hallway, a strange sound caught my attention. It seemed to be coming from the bathroom’s direction. Because I was interested, I turned toward the noise source, and as I walked, my steps became more thoughtful. I felt like I needed to act quickly, so I didn’t knock any further and promptly turned the doorknob, which let me see what was in the bathroom.“Love!”“Oh my god, what
