Reno watched Loraine as she slammed her fist on her thigh, clearly angry. He wished he would have known sooner about her parents; he wouldn’t have invited them then. They were going to ruin everything! He just hoped they wouldn’t sway her decision to stay.

“How much of a fuss are they causing?” he asked turning back to Allan.

“They wanted to come on the yacht here with us and take Loraine away. But I kept them off and Ruiz is going to make sure they don’t get off the island. I wish you’d called and asked me about inviting them before you did it.”

Reno took a deep swig of his beer. “Well it won’t matter. Loraine has made a commitment not only to me but also to Tyler. She won’t break it.”

Allan chuckled. “It’s going to be interesting seeing how it all goes down. We should probably head back and handle it before tomorrow. Oh, the lawyer and the notary arrived just as we left.”

Reno nodded. “Good. I’d like her to sign them and have them filed as soon as possible just in case Georgia decid

    “What?” Her mother spoke for the first time, standing slowly from the couch. Since she’d walked in, she looked absent, her eyes void mechanically speaking and moving. But now, she actually looked like she had life in her though she looked like she was in pain.“What did you say?”Loraine chewed on the insides of her lips, the urge to cry consuming her. But she wouldn’t do that. She wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing her loneliness her desperation to be loved unconditionally again. She would give herself that. She had Reno and Tyler to give her that, and she didn’t need it from them anymore. The years of taking the scrapes they offered were over!“Come on, mom. Ever since you let them turn you into this,” her hand pointed from her mother’s meticulously styled hair to her low pumps, “you haven’t showed me a morsel of genuine affection.” She turned to her father. “And you, ever since grandmother and grandfather told you loving your wife and child was so not done in high societ

    Reno watched as Loraine led her mother upstairs. He had been shocked when the woman spoke for the first time, though it had been only one word. When they’d met at the resort, she’d been polite but distant. The only emotion he’d seen in her was when she hugged her daughter, thankful that she was safe. It made him wonder why they thought she was safe with him until her father revealed they had no idea where she was. His invitation had solved that, and Reno wondered if Loraine had even wanted them to know where she was.Well, it couldn’t be helped at this point and with Robert Larson’s immediate attack, he’d had to delay his surprise. He was forced to push it to tomorrow, which maybe was better considering what he had planned then, if Jake and Gil got here in time.Reno looked at his watch. They were two hours late. On top of Loraine’s father, he couldn’t afford any more huddles. After her father’s reaction, it was a good thing he hadn’t invited her extended family. He couldn’t imagine w

    Loraine watched her mother with Tyler on her lap as they ate in the midst of laughter and conversation. Well, her mother laughed as Tyler got rib sauce all over himself and her. Loraine hadn’t been sure what to expect when Tyler patted her cheek, leaving a print of his little hand. She’d watched her mother with bated breath, praying she wouldn’t over react. Her mother had laughed, not even bothering to wipe it off. Instead she painted her lips with the same sauce and kissed both Tyler’s cheeks leaving a print of her lips. Tyler rewarded her with a smile and a kiss of his own and Loraine could swear she saw tears in her mother’s eyes.She never thought she’d ever see this woman again—carefree and too happy to sweat the small stuff.When Susan had asked her for a makeover, Loraine jumped on that fast in case she changed her mind. She had her mother remove her contacts and used the left over hair dye to darken her blonde hair to a chestnut shade, and then she let it dry on its own for na

    “I know I haven’t done right by you and your mother for a long time and I’m trying to change that. It’s been a long time since I recognized not only myself but your mother too. I’ve made mistakes and I promise to right them…but right now isn’t the time for that honey.” Her father responded his excitement rolling off him in huge waves.She knew she should let it go, but that explanation wasn’t enough for her. There was too much disappointment to get over and she needed to be sure this wasn’t just an act. It would kill her if they were dangling her biggest fantasy in front of her eyes only to yank it away. If this were a set up…she wouldn’t be able to handle the fall.Loraine blinked away treacherous tears. She hadn’t cried in front of her parents over this and she wasn’t going to start now. “What was your incentive?”He signaled to Reno with a nod of his head. &ldquo

    Loraine looked outside her bedroom window in complete awe. Reno hadn’t been joking when he said everything would be ready for the afternoon ceremony. The tents were already going up by dawn. She had hoped to see more of the decorations, especially with the army going in and out of the tent, but it was completely covered.“Come away from there, Loraine.” Gil took her by the shoulders and pulled her away, leading her to her dressing table.“But I want to see what’s going on!” she whined.“You’ll see it in two hours when you walk down the aisle, now let me finish doing your hair.” He combed his fingers through her hair and smiled at her in the mirror. “Jake told me the person we met in Nassau wasn’t the real you. I didn’t understand then, but I do now. Never lose yourself Loraine, you look beautiful.”“Thank you for doing this Gil, and for the dress. It’s perfect.&rdquo

    Riana nodded pushing him off the couch. “Now go back and finish getting Loraine dressed before my brother comes in here.”He sighed. “Okay, time to create another fairytale. I’m going to make you look like an angel, Loraine. Reno won’t know what hit him, just wait and see.”An hour later, Gil had done just that. Loraine stood in front of the full length mirror, completely dressed and tongue-tied. The gown was an umpire waist flowing chiffon gown with a sweetheart cut. She wore no jewelry except for the string of beads that hung over her forehead and disappeared into her hair, braided from both sides of her head and meeting at the bottom of her neck with just wisps of it hanging over her ears. She couldn’t remember the last time she wore so little make up. Usually, when she did wear makeup, it was in different shades of bold colors, but the natural look made her look almost virginal. But there was something missing.&ldqu

    Reno watched as Loraine danced with her father. It was the happiest he had ever seen her. As she laughed and danced barefoot in the resort’s ballroom where their reception was held, she looked so free and light, the burden that had brought her to his front door completely lifted from her.God she was a beauty, his beautiful wife. Reno looked down at his left hand, his thumb playing with the platinum ring on his third finger. He never thought he would willingly wear the figurative ball and chain again, especially after his encounter with Georgia.But Lori was nothing like Georgia, he thought fondly to himself. Loraine was kind, loving, thoughtful, wonderful…and his. Loraine Larson Albury is all mine and mine alone. When a song with a fast tempo began, he watched as Tyler ran up to her, grabbing her hand and dancing by her side. He smiled at the two of them, admitting to himself that Loraine wasn’t just his. No, she’s Tyler&

    “Georgia, what are you doing here and where is what’s-his-name? That guy you married just weeks after our wedding. Does he know you are here?” Reno demanded, moving to stand next to Susan.On cue, like the actress she was she began to cry, with tears and everything. “Reno, my love, they won’t let me in. She says it’s your wedding to her daughter. Why would you do this to me after I gave you a son, especially since we are still married?”Susan gasped, turning to look at him. It took everything in him to keep his cool especially when Georgia gave him a sardonic smile, quickly covering it with more wailing when Susan turned to her.“Reno, would you please explain yourself,” Susan spoke with a frightening patient voice.“This woman and I were married, but as of four months ago, I became a free man.”Georgia quit her wailing and looked up at him with rounded eyes. Reno took pleasure in he

    She chuckled, but it was sad, pained. “I found out I was pregnant the same moment I lost it. Our first child together bled right out of me and I couldn’t do anything to save it. How could I not know I was pregnant?”Reno pulled his sling wincing at the pain from his adjusted shoulder then lowered himself next to her and gathered her in his arms, laying her head on his chest. “Loraine, you were just a few weeks along. Some women don’t notice they are pregnant until months later.”She sniffed, burrowing into his side. “I’m not some woman. I’m Loraine Larson Albury, mother, wife, daughter and best friend to the most extraordinary people in the world. I should have known. Riana knew and I was further along than her when she found out she was pregnant.”Reno wasn’t so sure about that, but it wasn’t the time to negate her. He kissed her temple. “Riana has a weak constitution. Of course it wi

    Reno sat by Loraine’s bedside, watching her as she slept. This wasn’t how he’d planned waking up the morning after his honeymoon. In a hospital room where his wife’s battered body lay connected to machines and tubes. The last thing he expected that morning were the words, ‘I’m sorry but your wife lost the baby’. He felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest by those words. He’d been breathless, collapsing onto the bed he’d fought the doctor and Ruiz just moments before, to go to Loraine. Once he was able to breathe, once he’d had control of his emotions and staunched his tears, he’d gotten off the bed in search of his wife. He’d wanted to go alone, to think of what he would say to her but Allan had insisted on accompanying him. He’d expected some words of wisdom from his brother-in-law, seeing as how he knew the pain of losing a child, but Allan just walked with him in silent support. It wasn&rs

    “Loraine, please understand I didn’t mean for you to get hurt. I just wanted you to need me, to want me, to love me!”She shook her head, even more confused. “Why would I need, want or love you when I’m married to Reno.” Loraine felt her heart jar in her chest. She took a few more steps away from him. “Before…the first time he attacked me…that’s what he meant? The princess always falls in love with her knight after he saves her, that’s what you were expecting, wasn’t it?”Jeb moved toward her, his arms open in invitation. “At first, I loved you like you were my own child. You were such a vibrant and happy little girl, before they stole that from you. And then you grew up into this beautiful young lady and that love changed.” He caressed her cheek with his fingers and she quickly slapped his hand away. “When your father made me your personal bodyguard, it felt like

    He released her hair and massaged where he’d been pulling at her hair. “She is dead, I did that for you mon amour. I slit her neck when she was done giving me a blow job.” He chuckled. “I got tired of mounting her after so many hours but thinking of you would make me horny all over again so I told her to use her mouth to please me. After I sprayed all over her face, blinding her, I grabbed her hair, pulled her head back and cut my blade over her neck.” He rubbed his cheek against hers and she could hear his breath getting heavy as he breathed on her neck. Loraine held herself from turning away from him when he ran his finger in a slicing motion over her throat. It was too much!“There was so much blood, spraying all over my naked body. And the sounds that came from her open throat, mon amour. It was so arousing, too arousing not to enjoy.”“Oh God,” Loraine gagged pulling away from him but he yanke

    His eyes widened, his lips spreading in a toothy grin. “You mean it?”She looked at her son and the fear in his face was all the motivation she needed. She looked up at Pierre and nodded. “I mean it. Let him go and take me. Just like you’ve always wanted. Jeb won’t stop you this time.”He let out a hoot of elation and released Tyler. She fell to her knees as Tyler ran to her, into her arms and held onto her with all his strength, his little body shaking against hers.“Mommy!”Loraine felt her heart break as she held him tighter, willing for him to stop being afraid. But how could she give him that when she was just as scared if not more?“Ssh honey, everything will be alright.” She tried to pull him away but he held on tighter with a whimper. “Tyler, please.” She whispered pulling on his arms until he finally let go. She wiped his face dry and smiled at him. A difficult task wi

    Loraine was startled awake by the loud crash. It sounded like broken glass, really large glass. She turned her head to look at Reno and see if he’d heard it but he was sound asleep with a smile on his face. Smiling she traced the hard edges of his face with the tips of her fingers. He looked so much like Tyler in his sleep state—gentle, innocent and harmless. She loved this man so much sometimes it felt like her heart would burst.Another crush sounded from downstairs followed by a child’s cry. Loraine’s entire body went rigid from terror. That was Tyler. She knew every sound he made and that was one of fear. Anxious to get to her son, she pushed Reno’s muscular weight off her but before she could get out of bed, she was pulled back, a heavy hand pressed against her mouth.“Hush, don’t move,” Reno whispered harshly. “Stay here Lori. I think someone is in the house. I’m going to check things out downstairs. Kee

    She was beautiful, her naked form bathed by the moonlight. She looked like a siren, a tempting sexual siren. He ran his hands down her neck, lightly over her shoulders taking notice of the erratic pulse that visibly jumped at the nap of her neck and down her arms, over her torso before he stopped at her hips. Her skin was like creamy silk. He leaned over, pushing her hair aside to expose the back of her neck, catching the scent of her perfume. Fresh and scented like the ocean breeze.Goose pimples formed as soon as he touched her and she shivered visibly. Though she stood without a stitch on her before him, he knew it wasn’t from the cold. He pressed a kiss at the base of her neck to confirm it. Yes, her body hummed with desire and lust for him. This was the first time he was going to make love to her as his wife, the moment he’d held himself off for, for days since he decided to make her his wife. He was about to make love to Loraine Albury for the first time and

    Loraine stood by her bed, bathed not only by the moonlight but also by the desire and love shining from her husband’s eyes. Her body shivered with anticipation of the night to come, her lower belly heavy with lust. She wanted nothing more than to tear his clothes and her own off, tumble him to the bed and ride him to oblivion, both their desire’s fueling their body as the chased a common goal. But that quick fulfillment just wouldn’t do. She wanted Reno to take his time with her, worship her body until her soul left her body in complete ecstasy. She wanted him inside her all night long until he was practically imprinted in her.Reno caressed her cheek with his knuckles and she leaned into his touch, longing for more. “Have I told you how much I love you in the past hour?”She smiled, pressing herself into him. “You did five minutes ago, but I wouldn’t mind hearing it again.”“I love you, Lori, more than I eve
