All Chapters of Hearts Unbroken: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ahhh, secret desires. We all have them, whether we admit it to ourselves or not. It doesn't matter who you are, rich or poor. Or where you live, or what you do. We all secretly desired something, or often someone. Ross's secret desires, his yearnings he held close to his heart. But now that he's been seeing Tippa, he's illuminating. Now, he knows who he wants and what he wants to be. Ross has secretly desired something far different from the picture his parents painted for him of marriage. Pulls his car up to the curb outside Tippa's apartment door. They managed to experience another sweet date. Every night for the past six weeks has been amazing for Ross courting Tippa.Ross went to the other side of the car to open the door for his lady. As she stepped out, he stood in front of her, leaning against the inside of the open car door, protecting Tippa from the cold night air. Ross tells Tippa, "I enjoy you," he whispered as his head lowered to align with hers."Thanks, I've been enjoy

Tippa's eyes were barely open as she responded to the early morning phone call she received. "Hmmm. I am now. What time is it?" "It's 7 am. I know it's early, but I couldn't wait any longer to hear your voice.""You're spoiling me, Ross. I'm not used to this." Tippa laughs softly."This is only the beginning. One day, I'll be serving you a hot cup of coffee and breakfast in bed, with a side of me." Tippa smiles happily. "That gives me comfort just thinking about it. Are you growing impatient with my pace for this relationship?" "Honestly, yes. I can't wait. I was thinking this morning that I would enjoy being married to you." "Is that a proposal?" Her eyes flicked open fully."How would you feel if it was…?""I don’t know, so let’s not joke about this, Ross. I haven't even met your family yet, and you haven't met mine. I don’t know what either would think, but I have some ideas, and it isn’t good. Your parents would be upset! With you running off marrying a girl like me?" She sai

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Julia, and Rickey. It’s such a pleasure to meet all of you finally. My name is Ross Kincaid. I'm Tippa's boyfriend." "Yes, I know who you are. God help my niece!” Mr. Wilson states as his wife slaps his need under the table. When Ross saw her family, he understood why she was so beautiful! Her aunt Lacey looked like a queen! Tippa's father’s brother, whom they called Yazzy, was a tall, strapping man who looked like a handsome pro football player. Julia was a lovely girl with skin that was satin and smooth and extremely cute. Rickey, like his father, is tall and fiercely good-looking. Ross's eyes look around the dining table. The air was undoubtedly tense, with no one making a sound other than the clanking of forks to plates.Everyone's eyes were on Ross Kincaid! The family ate quietly, glaring at him. Finally, Mr. Wilson put his fork down and spoke."I need to say something very important. I know Tippa has no idea who you are! How did you convince her to da

“Oh, my goodness, Ross. That didn’t go well at all. What are we going to do, babe?” Ross puts his finger to her lips. "Don't worry. Whether they realize it or not, allowing my grandparents to raise me is why I'm this way.” Ross smiled at her. “Now give me some more of that sweet sugar," Ross says, moving in closer to kiss Tippa once more.Tippa smiles, moving closer to meet him. Ross moves toward her in a moment of perfect harmony that will forever go down as one of her life's sweetest embraces and kisses. But there was nothing sweet about the kiss, however. The only word to describe it was sizzling hot! Seriously hot. It went from sweet to sizzling hot in about two seconds flat! Ross’s tongue darted into her mouth. Then, with her hand on the back of her head, his arms came around her as the kiss transported her far away from anything she'd known.Tippa could barely remember to breathe as Ross's tongue brushed against hers like smooth silk. Through the fabric of her top, her nipp

The date was set, and Tippa couldn’t be happier. She was very busy planning a small but exquisite wedding and reception that she and her family could enjoy. Admittedly, it bothered her that Ross’s family did not want to meet or see her face. They were strangely quiet, and at times, Tippa felt like she was stealing something very valuable from the Kincaids. That they would come to claim one day, surely they would not let her get away with that, she thought.But each day, Ross reassured her that everything would be okay, and hopefully, they would come around. So Tippa went on day by day and week by week as time moved closer to their wedding day. As time passed, Tippa was so busy she let it all slip her mind.Tippa hugged her grocery bag as she slid into the slightly crowded elevator. Noting that the button for the seventh floor had already been pressed, she leaned back against the side wall. The elevator door opened, distracting her from her thoughts. She looked at her watch and realize
