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 werenโt even attracted to Kevin. Hell, you didnโt even like him!"Biting her lip, Tessa crossed her arms. "Wellโฆ that was because I hadnโt 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, Mayaโs words would creep into her mind, and each time, Tessa would shrug them off with a scoff. Maya didnโt know what she was talking about.โTessa?โ Kevinโs voice cut through her thoughts.โWhat?โ 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. โAre you okay?โShe frowned. โWhat do you mean?โKevin chuckled lightly, though it was more hesitant than usual. โItโs just... I think this is the fifth time Iโve heard you make that sound tonight.โTessa blinked. โWhat sound?โHe gave he

Kevin's words played through Tessa's mind even as she had a shower and when she finally lay on the bed.โI wouldโve been disappointed if your standards werenโt up to the sky. Because youโre kind of amazing, you know? But do I fit your standards?...Even if Iโm just below the lineโฆ or on probation. Iโll accept it.โThe 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?" Tessaโs 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." Tessaโs nostrils flared. "Not everyone hides behind some ridiculous bro code just to be an asshole." Her voice rose, but she didnโt 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 didnโt make her shudder as much as she did when Gendryโs hand suddenly cupped her breast. His fingers tweaked the hardened peak of her nipple and pinched it slightl

โTessa..." Gendry spoke her name again in a soft, stunned whisper. โHave you never done this before?โโOf course I have.โ Tessa quickly lied, averting her gaze, looking anywhere but into his eyes.But Gendry didn't allow her to escape him. He held her chin between his thumb and index finger, forcing her to look at him.โYou're a virgin.โ He said it like an accusation, and Tessa gritted her teeth. โSo what if I am?โHe pursed his lips, making no effort to move though she could still feel him hard and pulsing inside her. โYou should've told me. God, you're a virgin.โTessa glared at him and gritted out. โIt's not contagious, I promise.โAlready her eyes were burning with tears. She'd never felt pain and pleasure mix in such an exquisite way, and she would probably cry if he decided to stop now.โWould it have made a difference if I had told you?โ she demanded.โYes it would have.โ Gendry said without missing a beat. โI would've tried to make this more...more special for you.โThe way h

Tessa swallowed. If what Jace was saying was right, then it meant Gendry had broken whatever rule he had because of her.Did he want her that much?โSo, who is it?โ Jace prompted when Gendry didn't reply to his earlier question. โIs it Sandra? I saw how she was clinging to you almost all day yesterday.โโGod, no.โ Gendry's face scrunched, and his displeasure at the mere idea strangely made Tessa's heart leap in relief.He didn't want Sandra after all, like sheโd thought.โThen who is it, then? Come on, tell me, man.โ Jace prompted when Gendry didn't reply. โWho's this girl who should prepare to get her heart broken because of your little problem?โTessa frowned. Problem? What problem did Gendry have?Gendry glared at his friend, seeming to hiss something that Tessa didn't hear. Jace's eyes widened. โShit, she's still here?โAs if instinctively, his eyes moved in the direction of the bathroom door. Tessa immediately moved away from the small opening before he could see her.โShit, I'm

My dear supercalifragilisticexpialidocious readers, I won't ever get tired of expressing my gratitude for all the support you guys have given to this book.

Tessa stood frozen for several seconds before her hands flew to her mouth in shock. โOh my Godโฆโ she whispered. She didn't even have to ask if he was sure because she could tell he was. Guilt clawed at her chest. Alex had told her before how most of the women who came onto him were only after his wealth which was also part of the reason he'd always been so careful about dating. And now it seemed he had been proven right. Tessa felt like it was her fault because she was the one who had set Alex on that blind date with Hillary. โAlex,โ she whispered. โIโm so sorry. I had no idea she was that kind of woman.โ He shook his head. โItโs okay,โ he said, his voice calmer, his expression blank. โYou were just trying to look out for me. But donโt do it again, Tessa.โ There was no anger in his tone toward her, but she could sense the bitterness. Tessa swallowed hard, guilt still pressing down on her. She watched as Alex turned toward one of the cabinets, moving like he already knew exactl

After breakfast, the whole family moved to the shores to enjoy the beach. the whole family moved to the beach where a variety of games and fun had been set up.Tessa took a deep breath, feeling at peace.But peace never really lasted long when when her mischievous twins were around.The four-year-olds were balls of energy, running up and down the sandy shore, splashing water at people, and playfully disturbing anyone who looked too relaxed.โGirls!โ Tessa called after them as they ran past, giggling. โDonโt bother grandpa Zeke!โToo late.Zeke had been lying on a lounger, sunglasses on, probably dozing off, until a handful of sand landed on his chest.His head snapped up. โHey!โThe twins burst into laughter and ran away before he could catch them.Gendry, sitting next to Tessa, shook his head. โYour daughters indeed.โTessa turned to him with a dry look. โExcuse me?โโThe mischief?

FIVE YEARS LATERThe morning sun peeked through the white curtains, casting golden light across the bedroom. Tessa stirred, instantly feeling the warmth pressed against her back, a familiar arm draped over her waist. A smile crept onto her lips as she blinked sleepily.She didn't have to turn around to know Gendry was awake. His slow, steady breaths against the nape of her neck gave him away.A soft kiss landed on her bare shoulder."Happy anniversary, Mrs. Graham," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Tessa hummed, pressing back against him. "Happy anniversary, Mr. Graham."Gendry tightened his hold on her, rolling her onto her back so he could hover over her. The intense look in his dark eyes sent a familiar shiver down her spine."Last night wasn't enough," he whispered, running his fingers down her side. "I need more."Tessa let out a soft laugh. "Didn't we exhaust ourselves already?"His lips brushed against her neck. "Not even close."They made love again, slow and deep, as

Tessaโs 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. Iโ" 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 wasโฆ something between Gendry and me. When we were in Jamaica." Her father's frown only deepened. "I donโt understand. Since we left Jamaica, I havenโt seen you two together until yesterday. How could there be something between you whenโโ 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 donโt seem surprised." Thalassa shrugged. Krisโs jaw dropped. "Lassa. You knew?" She gave him an innocent look. "I had my suspicions." "And yo

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.โMissed me that much, huh?โ he teased, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.Rita huffed and pulled back, immediately smoothing down her hair. โYou're ruining my hair,โ she grumbled, glaring up at him.โMy bad,โ 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 fatherโs eyes. There were unspoken questions swimming in his gaze.โGood e

โMarry me, Tessa.โTessa stared at him, her lips parting as she tried to process what he had just said. Her voice came out in a breathless whisper. โWhat?โGendry didnโt hesitate. He looked straight into her eyes, his expression open and sure. โMarry me, Tessa.โShe felt like her heart had stopped. Her mind raced, but no coherent thoughts came. โYouโโ 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.โHear me out,โ he murmured. โI know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is. But Iโve never been so sure of anything in my life.โTessaโs breath hitched, her pulse drumming in her ears.โWe just made things official, like, yesterday,โ he admitted, his lips curving into a small, sheepish smile. โBut it doesnโt feel new, does it? It feels like Iโve known you forever. Weโve been through so much. Hell, even we were against each other at some point. And yet, here we

โDonโt worry. Youโre not the first couple to ask that, and you definitely wonโt be the last.โ 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.โThat should be all for today,โ The doctor said warmly. โAs 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.โShe began rearranging the equipment. โPlease wait outside for a few minutes. Your ultrasound pictures and the recording will be ready soon to take with you..โ 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.

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. โI'll always be early for you, princes.โ 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
