Snuggle time.
“I don’t want to risk the baby’s health. I can wait for the next… nine months.”Regina laughed. “Let me do it then.” She pushed Owen to the bed and tried to unbuckle his belt. A memory popped into her head.“Ohhh… I remember this.”“Do you?”“I called it seduction.” Then she laughed when the belt wouldn’t unbuckle as she tugged and pulled on it. “You can help me here you know.”He laughed. Even though she couldn’t remember most of their memories together, Regina tended to repeat answers to conversations and reactions to situations, thus creating fresh memories.Owen could never forget the day when he finally acknowledged that Regina meant more to him than a pawn in his vengeance against women. Women who used men as a stepping stone for their advancement and gain. And because it was a pivotal moment, he remembered every detail during that most memorable day.“Do you want me to tell you what happens next—” he unbuckles his belt effortlessly and looks at her with a sly smile. “—or do you
Regina did not expect to have fun on her wedding day. But thanks to Marcus, everything went smoothly, and she got away with Owen for the rest of the night.It had been blissful. They spent hours walking around her parent’s estate, stealing kisses and embraces, enjoying their time together as husband and wife.“Regina, my wife. I like saying that.”“And I love hearing it.”“Should we return to our guests?”“No, they can take care of themselves, plus I told my bridesmaids to keep the party going when we disappear.”When they got up to her bedroom, she was thankful that the maids had cleaned up and removed any trace of the chaos that occurred there that morning.Her room had been the central location for everyone getting ready, so clothes were everywhere, hair extensions and eyelashes on the floor, and every surface was occupied with every beauty product available to man.The wedding dress had an invisible zipper on the side and detachable sleeves, which made it easily removable, but she
“Mandy, did you marry this guy we don’t like?” Hailey whispered to Regina loudly. “Is he good in bed?”Regina and the family that gathered around them laughed. Mrs. Bennet was not there, but her alter ego Hailey came to entertain them.“Mrs. Bennet, I love him dearly. Just look at that handsome face.” Regina cups his cheek and Owen looks at his mother and smiles.“He is handsome…” she pauses and recognition appears in her eyes. “My Owen, you look good in your suit.”“Mother?” Mrs. Bennet looks around and her eyes light up. “You got married?”“Yes, mom.” Owen hugged her tight. “I couldn’t wait to make Regina my wife.”“Congratulations. You did well. I knew you were a good match.”Owen pulled Regina so she could be part of the embrace.“Take care of her Owen, she will bring you so much love.” Tears fell from their eyes and then, in just a blink, Mrs. Bennet took on Hailey’s personality again.“Mandy, your husband is hugging me. Get—”“It’s okay. It’s because we both love you.” Regina hug
Regina smiled. Owen had never shied away from speaking his mind. Amidst his busy schedule and all the preparations for the wedding, he even found time to write her a letter. Dearest Regina,We both know that in this relationship you are more eloquent when writing letters, so I will try my best to convey all my feelings without making a blunder of what I want to tell you.They say a love like ours only comes once in a lifetime. From the moment I saw you, I knew there was something different and from then on, my life had changed. I resisted for a long time and found every reason to avoid you, but my heart knows what it wants and that is you.In the last few days, your brothers tried to keep us apart and I have never felt more lonely in my life. I learned that I could never live without you, and that was the lesson they wanted me to learn.You bring out the best in me by believing in me. I want us to achieve all our dreams together until we have no more teeth and can no longer stand st
“What are you talking about? My father likes you.”“I think he likes me only because you do. As soon as you tell him something bad I did then he’d come at me with his scalpel and skin me alive.” Regina laughed. “Get me home before they come at you with their scalpels.”“Myles already told them you were taking a nap at my office. They’ve been calling your phone for a while.”“Oh no, I put it on silent because I didn’t want my phone to disturb anyone in your office.”“Don’t worry. We’ll see them after we get dinner.”“We’re going on a date today?”“I shouldn’t have stayed away. I think it was a test and I failed.”“You followed their instructions which means you passed.”“But I failed you, my love.”“It’s just a few days. What difference does it make when we will have our whole lives together.”“I promise to be a better husband. I won’t neglect you again.”Regina cups his cheek with her right hand. “You and I will make a lot of mistakes in our relationship and that is fine, but we will
“This was unplanned, so I understand if you leave.” Regina smiled as she stood on her toes and wrapped both arms around his neck.“I haven’t seen you for three days, I thought I was hallucinating.” Owen softly touches their lips, sandwiches her face between his hands, and sifts his fingers through her hair.“I shouldn’t have agreed to the stupid condition your brothers gave us. It was so lonely that I went back to my apartment. I can’t sleep in your empty place without missing you.”“It’s kind of cute, isn’t it?”“What is?”“Missing each other. We haven’t been apart since we returned from France I felt like we were falling into a boring routine.”“Oh, are you saying I bore you?”“I didn’t say that.”“You’ll regret saying that once the projects come in.”“That’s—Owen—” she squealed when he lifted her from the knees and sat her on his desk. “Your staff. They’ll—”“I don’t care what they say as long as you don’t think I’m boring.”“I didn’t—You look so hot right now. I would gladly get n
