"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..." Gendry spoke her name again in a soft, stunned whisper. “Have you never done this before?”“Of course I have.” 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.“You're a virgin.” He said it like an accusation, and Tessa gritted her teeth. “So what if I am?”He pursed his lips, making no effort to move though she could still feel him hard and pulsing inside her. “You should've told me. God, you're a virgin.”Tessa glared at him and gritted out. “It's not contagious, I promise.”Already 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.“Would it have made a difference if I had told you?” she demanded.“Yes it would have.” Gendry said without missing a beat. “I would've tried to make this more...more special for you.”The 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?“So, who is it?” Jace prompted when Gendry didn't reply to his earlier question. “Is it Sandra? I saw how she was clinging to you almost all day yesterday.”“God, no.” 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 she’d thought.“Then who is it, then? Come on, tell me, man.” Jace prompted when Gendry didn't reply. “Who's this girl who should prepare to get her heart broken because of your little problem?”Tessa 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. “Shit, she's still here?”As 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.“Shit, I'm

Tessa stepped into the bedroom after soaking herself in a warm bath. She'd searched for what could help with her soreness and had been given the warm bath solution.Though it didn't do a magnificent job of completely getting rid of the soreness, it had alleviated it a bit to the point where she could walk without limping.Just like that, incendiary images flamed through her mind. She quickly put them out. The last thing she needed was to get horny right now.A knock sounded on her door, followed by Maya's voice. "Tessa?""Come in," Tessa called out as she untied her bathrobe. The door opened while Tessa opened the closet to pull out fresh panties, a sundress, and a bra."Guess what I heard?" Maya spoke, her voice filled with that bit of giddiness that always surfaced when she was about to gossip.Tessa looked at her, raising a brow. "What?""I'm not supposed to be telling you this, but whatever." Maya shrugged as she slumped onto the bed. "Apparently, Gendry spent the night with someo

Kevin appeared in front of her. “Hey, I was wondering if you and I could go—”“I’m sorry, Kevin. I...” Tessa began, thinking of an excuse to give him. “Since Jace isn’t here right now, Maya asked me to hang out with her and help her out with a couple of things, so I’m going to be a bit busy.”As soon as she was done speaking, her cheeks flushed. Jesus, she was a terrible liar. He hadn’t even finished saying what he was going to tell her, and she’d gone ahead and given him this long explanation.Kevin stared at her for a bit, making Tessa uneasy, but then a smile broke out on his lips. “Alright, no problem. I guess I can’t expect to have you to myself all the time when you’re literally going to be the maid of honor. I’ll leave you girls, but I’m here when you’re free.”Tessa nodded with a guilty smile, watching him walk away.“Hmm, I didn’t know I’d asked you to help me out with a couple of things,” Maya spoke up beside Tessa, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of teasing. “I t

Tessa's heart thumped inside her chest. Gendry had spoken in a relatively low voice, so only the few people standing closest to them had heard and seen that something was going on. But sensing the flaring tempers, she knew that if she didn't do something, it could escalate into something worse. “Gendry!” she hissed, glaring at him. Before she could say anything else, Kevin wrenched his hands from Gendry's grip, gritting out, “What the heck is your problem, man?” His voice was louder than Gendry's, and Tessa winced, darting her eyes around. They had gained a few more spectators. “My problem is that I need you to stop harassing Tessa,” Gendry hissed, his tone sharp. Tessa stared at him in disbelief. What the hell was he even thinking? “Harassi... what?" Kevin’s face mirrored her incredulity. “What are you talking about? Why would you think I'm harassing Tessa?” Gendry's jaw clenched. “Because... I... saw that she clearly wanted to get away from you, and you held her hands to sto

When Tessa entered the house, only a few guests were lingering about. Gendry was nowhere in sight, so he had probably gone to his room-which was perfect. Making her way down the corridor that led to her and Gendry's room, she knocked on his door immediately, looking back to ensure that no one was watching her. The door opened after a few seconds. Gendry stared at her with an unreadable expression before stepping back to allow her entry. Entering, Tessa closed the door behind her and jammed her hand on her hip. "What was that outside, Gendry? Why did you react that way toward Kevin?" Gendry gave her a bored look. "I told you. I thought he was harassing you." "You had no reason to think that," Tessa pointed out. "He and I were just having a conversation." "Yes, a very intimate conversation, it seems," Gendry said, his tone edged with sarcasm. Tessa stared at him. "You do realize that there were people watching us, right? Everyone is probably suspecting it now. You acted like you

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
