“And does that bother you?” Kevin was staring at her pointedly, waiting for an answer.“Of course not,” Tessa answered, hoping her face was just as neutral as she was trying to keep it. “Why would it bother me?”Kevin studied her for a second before chuckling. “You’re right. That would be weird.”Tessa forced a chuckle too, but guilt burned inside her chest. She wasn’t sure why she felt guilty, but it was there, and it was just ridiculous.She shook it off and focused on enjoying Kevin's company.Half way through the day, Maya came looking for her.“Ah, there you are.” she said. “Come on, let's go play volleyball together.”The game was already in progress, and Maya wasted no time making her and Tessa a team.They played against two other girls, and to Tessa’s surprise, while it had been a long time since she last played, she and Maya still managed to win multiple rounds against the girls.Then, just as they were celebrating another win, Maya suddenly clapped her hands together.“Hey

Watching how Kevin's face was getting closer and closer to Tessa's, Gendry was already stepping forward, his fists tightening, not knowing what he was going to do but feeling like he needed to do something. Before he could actually pull through with impulses and do something that would've no doubt made him look like a fool, Maya suddenly appeared beside Tessa and Kevin.“Hey, Tes!”Tessa jerked, blinking in surprise. Kevin pulled back just slightly, annoyance flickering across his face before he covered it with a tight smile.Gendry exhaled sharply, stopping in his tracks. Jesus Christ, why was he so relieved that Maya had interrupted the kiss.Maya strode toward them, hands on her hips. “I need you for something.”Kevin’s smile remained, but his fingers twitched against his thigh. It was obvious he wasn’t thrilled about the interruption.Tessa glanced at him, then back at Maya. “Right now?”Maya nodded, looking all too innocent. “Yup.”Tessa hesitated, but then sighed, smiling apolo

Tessa swallowed as she stared at Maya, her friend's question hanging in the air."Would she have allowed Kevin to kiss her?"She wanted to say no immediately, but hesitation crept in. Would she? She didn't have a definite answer. Not wanting to dwell on it, she shrugged. "Maybe."Maya's jaw dropped. "Maybe?" She looked at Tessa like she had just confessed to committing a crime. "Just three months ago, you told me you weren’t even attracted to Kevin. Hell, you didn’t even like him!"Biting her lip, Tessa crossed her arms. "Well… that was because I hadn’t given myself the chance to get to know him."Maya narrowed her eyes. "And now you think you know him so well after just three days of living under the same roof?""Why not?" Tessa shot back, lifting her chin.The truth was, when she'd first met Kevin months ago, she had found him arrogant, overly confident, and way too pushy. But after spending some time with him, she'd realized that was just his way of being humorous. He wasn't a bad

The rest of the day had gone as normal as it could. The games and fun had continued. Thankfully, Tessa had managed to avoid being shoved into the same situation with Gendry, instead spending most of her time hanging out with Kevin. Every once in a while, Maya’s words would creep into her mind, and each time, Tessa would shrug them off with a scoff. Maya didn’t know what she was talking about.“Tessa?” Kevin’s voice cut through her thoughts.“What?” she asked, glancing up at him.It was already night. Everyone had had dinner on the beach a while ago, and they were all finally ready to call it a day, hence they were heading back into the villa.Kevin tilted his head, his usual easy-going smile in place, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. “Are you okay?”She frowned. “What do you mean?”Kevin chuckled lightly, though it was more hesitant than usual. “It’s just... I think this is the fifth time I’ve heard you make that sound tonight.”Tessa blinked. “What sound?”He gave he

Kevin's words played through Tessa's mind even as she had a shower and when she finally lay on the bed.“I would’ve been disappointed if your standards weren’t up to the sky. Because you’re kind of amazing, you know? But do I fit your standards?...Even if I’m just below the line… or on probation. I’ll accept it.”The words had been beautiful, enough to make any woman swoon. So why hadn't she? The reminder of her supposed 'high standards' made anger shoot through her as she remembered the person behind it.Gendry.That bastard.Her jaw clenched. How dare he say those things about her to Kevin? Who the hell did he think he was to.meddle in her life like this.Her hands curled into fists. She needed to put him in his place. Right now.A voice in the back of her head whispered that she could just as easily do it tomorrow. That storming into his room at this time of the night might not be the best decision. But that voice was weak compared to the one screaming at her to march over there

Tessa knew she should turn around and walk out. That was the smartest choice. The logical choice. But the mockery laced in his voice, made her furious. Unsettled. What the heck did he mean by unsettled? She would show him that nothing about him unsettled her? Before she could change her mind, shee turned back to face him, keeping her eyes stubbornly locked on his face and only his face. No where else of interest. "You had no right," she gritted out. Gendry let out a long-suffering sigh, rubbing the towel over his wet hair again. "What is it now, princess?" Tessa’s fingers curled into fists. "You had no right to say those things to Kevin. Who the hell do you think you are?" Gendry scoffed. "I figured apart from following you around like a lost puppy, Kevin would also break the bro code." Tessa’s nostrils flared. "Not everyone hides behind some ridiculous bro code just to be an asshole." Her voice rose, but she didn’t care. "What were you hoping to achieve by saying those things

"No strings attached. Just hot, wild sex that doesn't mean anything. What do you say?"She should slap.Tessa knew she should be slapping the hell out of Gendry for even daring to suggest something like this to her.Because this was the most outrageous thing she had ever heard!But instead of wanting to slap him, all her hand itched to do was run wildly all over his body and feel those chiselled planes and muscles.She should be cursing him out, and yet all her mouth itched to do was kiss and caress him.Oh fuck. She was so fucked.She couldn't deny it anymore. She wanted him. She wanted Gendry so much it hurt.Despite the most sensible part of her telling her that she was about to make a mistake if she agreed to this, the reckless part kept screaming at her; what did she have to lose?Gendry was right. She was attracted to him. That didn't mean she liked him. In fact, she still detested him. Detested how easily he could get under her skin.Maybe this was truly the perfect solution. A

Before Gendry could ask any of the questions swimming in his eyes, Tessa crashed her lips to his in a hard kiss that made him groan at her eagerness. His fingers pushed in deeper inside her, past her protesting walls. Tessa felt a sharp ache, but the pleasure soon eclipsed it. Her hands wrapped around him, wanting to pull him impossibly closer, wanting to feel his skin against hers, but her nightwear proved to be an enemy to that mission. As if reading her thoughts, Gendry reached for the hem of the nightwear with his free hand and began pulling it up. Tessa quickly unlocked her arms from around his neck to help him take it off, not wanting him to pull his fingers out of her. Within seconds, she was standing bare with nothing but her panties. The chilly breeze floating around the room whipped against her skin, but it didn’t make her shudder as much as she did when Gendry’s hand suddenly cupped her breast. His fingers tweaked the hardened peak of her nipple and pinched it slightl

Tessa’s heart thudded as her father stared at Gendry, his brows furrowing deeper by the second."Of course I figured that out already." her father finally scoffed, shaking his head. "It's just... Tessa is two months pregnant. Two months. I—" He blinked rapidly as the realization dawned. "Unless..."Tessa took pity on him. She sighed and decided to just put him out of his confusion. "Dad," she said carefully, "there was… something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica."Her father's frown only deepened. "I don’t understand. Since we left Jamaica, I haven’t seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you when–”Beside him, Thalassa let out a small chuckle and placed a hand on his chest. "Leave them alone, Kris," she said, eyes twinkling with amusement.Kris turned to her, narrowing his eyes. "You don’t seem surprised."Thalassa shrugged.Kris’s jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?"She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions.""And you didn’t

All eyes turned towards Tessa and Gendry as they entered. In the living room were her parents, Alex, Rita, Maya, Jace, Aunt Luisa, Uncle Alden, and their youngest 17 years old daughter, Tessa's cousin, Emma.The moment Rita spotted Gendry, she gasped. "Gendry!" she squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing toward him.Gendry barely had time to react before Rita crashed into him. He let out a soft chuckle, crouching slightly to meet her height as he ran a hand through her hair.“Missed me that much, huh?” he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. “You're ruining my hair,” she grumbled, glaring up at him.“My bad,” Gendry said, his voice dripping with fake remorse. His amused gaze flicked toward the others, and laughter rippled through the room, even from Alex.Despite the lighthearted moment, Tessa caught the curious look in her father’s eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.“Good e

“Marry me, Tessa.”Tessa stared at him, her lips parting as she tried to process what he had just said. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper. “What?”Gendry didn’t hesitate. He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. “Marry me, Tessa.”She felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. “You—” She swallowed, utterly flustered.Gendry chuckled at her shock, rolling onto his side so that he was partially on top of her. His fingers traced lazy circles on her arm, his touch soothing.“Hear me out,” he murmured. “I know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”Tessa’s breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.“We just made things official, like, yesterday,” he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. “But it doesn’t feel new, does it? It feels like I’ve known you forever. We’ve been through so much. Hell, even we were against each other at some point. And yet, here we

“Don’t worry. You’re not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely won’t be the last.” The doctor said with a teasing note in her voice.She pulled out a disposable wipe and began wiping the gel from Tessa's belly. Tessa sighed in relief.“That should be all for today,” The doctor said warmly. “As I said, for the first few months, it would be best to be checked monthly, so please when you're ready, let me know when to schedule the next appointment.”She began rearranging the equipment. “Please wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..” Gendry helped Tessa sit up and adjust her clothes before they stepped out. They waited in the reception area, their happiness and excitement tangible. Ten minutes later, a nurse handed over the envelope containing the picture and the USB. Gendry took it as if it was the most precious thing in the world. They made their way out of the hospital and back to Gendry's car. Aft

In the afternoon, when it was a couple of minutes to get an appointment, Gendry arrived a few minutes earlier than he promised to pick her up.Gendry leaned against the doorframe, looking relaxed yet effortlessly gorgeous in his button down shirt. His eyes swept over her in that way that always made her feel like the only woman in the world. "You're early," she teased, walking toward him. He beamed. “I'll always be early for you, princes.” Her heart did a little flip at that, but she rolled her eyes to keep her cool. "Such a smooth talker." He grinned and reached for her, pulling her close and covering her lips with his. When they finally broke the kiss, he took her hand. She let him take it without hesitation, their fingers interlocking. It felt so right.As they walked through the office, she felt the weight of dozens of eyes on them. Conversations momentarily halted, only to resume in hushed murmurs once they passed. She knew exactly why. One, no one had ever seen her h

A bitter smile curled Tessa’s lips as she unfolded her crossed arms. "You say you want me back in your life," she murmured, tilting her head slightly. "But let’s be honest, Henry. I was never in your life to begin with."Henry flinched at the use of his name instead of "Dad," but he quickly recovered, forcing a weak smile."Tessa, that’s not true. I’ve always—""Spare me," she interrupted coldly. "What do you really want? Me? Or money?"His face paled. His fingers curled into fists at his sides, but he quickly unclenched them. He let out a nervous chuckle, trying to maintain his composure. "I won’t lie to you. I... I am in a difficult situation right now, financially. But that’s not why I’m here—"Tessa’s expression darkened. "Don’t insult my intelligence, sir." She straightened up, placing her hands on the desk as she leaned forward slightly. "I know what you tried to do years ago, Henry. I know you tried to sell me for a couple of billion dollars."Henry’s head snapped up. His eyes

Tessa sat at her desk in her office, flipping through a few design sketches when her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen and saw Gendry’s name.Gendry: What have you done to me, Tessa Miller?A small smile tugged at her lips. She set the sketches aside and picked up her phone, quickly typing back.Tessa: What have I done?His reply came almost immediately.Gendry: I can’t concentrate on a damn thing because I can’t stop thinking about you. You left my apartment just a few hours ago, and I already miss you like crazy.Tessa felt a warm, fluttery feeling spread through her chest.Tessa: I miss you too.There was a pause of a couple of seconds, then another message came.Gendry: Waking up with you makes my mornings the most beautiful. I want to experience that forever.Tessa stared at the message for a long moment, her fingers hovering over the screen. She wasn’t sure how to respond to that. It was sweet, but she didn’t want to overthink it. Instead, she just smiled. While she was s

Gendry shook his head. “No, it's not that. It's just... I'm scared we might hurt the baby.”“No, we won’t. I heard it's safe to do it even when pregnant,” Tessa said, chasing his lips again.It had been too long. Too fucking long. And God knew how much she wanted him inside her again.Initially, Gendry kissed her back hesitantly, but his reluctance soon vanished. His lips trailed from hers and ran down her neck while he wedged his hands between them to fondle her breasts. His hard dick was pressing against her thigh, filling her with even more anticipation. But before they could undress each other, the jarring ring of her cellphone shattered the moment.Tessa tried to ignore it, but the sound was too grating. Gendry broke the kiss, and they both sighed as she reached for her phone. It was her brother calling. She answered.“Tessa!” Alex’s relieved sigh came through the phone. “Mum and Dad called me this morning and told me what happened yesterday. Are you... Okay, we know you're safe

Taking in the earnest, almost desperate look in Gendry's eyes, Tessa felt warmth spread through her chest. But she couldn't help but mess with him a bit.“Did I?” She shrugged, turning her gaze away from him. “I don't remember saying that. I must have been really tired.”“Oh.” She saw Gendry's expression sink from the corner of her eye. “I... you said... I thought…” He pursed his lips, struggling for words. “Tessa, you... I...”Tessa couldn't hold it in any longer. She burst into laughter. “Oh, Gendry...” She chuckled, finally looking back at him. “Of course, I remember, and of course, I meant every word.”The smile that crossed his face was the most beautiful thing Tessa had ever seen.“You evil woman,” he growled playfully. “Did you want to give me a heart attack?”And then he pounced, tickling her until she was on her back, peals of laughter vibrating through her.“Gendry, stop,” she pleaded between gasps, but he didn’t listen, dipping his head to nuzzle her neck and using his lips
