It was as if I was seeing myself in the future. My mouth dropped open as I gawked at the beautiful woman with graying hair. She was petite and wore the most gorgeous jewelry I had ever seen. The woman spelled class with a capital C."Lynn," she breathed as she slowly walked toward me. Luix stepped out of her way as she placed her hand on my cheek. "Oh, lynn."Without warning, I let out a small sob and knew my soul was breaking over lost time with my true family. I didn't know any of them, but my soul did and that's all I needed to feel to know that they were my real family.I threw my arms around the woman's shoulders in front of me as she embraced me with hers. We held each other for what felt like forever as I looked up and into my sister's eyes. Tears filled her gaze as she grinned at our embrace; her hand rested over her heart."We've missed you, dear lynn," my grandma whispered into my ear."Why didn't any of you come for me?" I asked as we parted from our embrace.Sadness swam o
DRAKE'S POV I haven't ever seen lynn this carefree or happy. She was all smiles and laughter as we sat around the table with her true family. They were telling stories about their childhood, but I could tell lynn didn't remember any of them. She seemed to just be happy that she was a part of these stories. From what I've been hearing, she came from a good, loving family and I was so happy for her. My girl was finally free."So, what exactly is Tuffin lynn asked.Her brother Bobby was the one to answer her. "We make the technology that space shuttles and military planes use."Damn, I wasn't expecting that at all. Even though lynn didn't grow up a Tuffin, I couldn't help but point out the huge difference between us. She came from money, and I came from the ghetto of Chicago. We couldn't be on a more opposite plane and that scared the hell out of me. Would she see the difference and leave? I refuse to believe that, though. Lynn loved me."Wow," lynn sighed. "I'm just glad to see that th
Bobby hugged her next and then Mama Bell. They embraced the longest and I think Mama Bell whispered something into Lynn's ear, but I couldn't hear it. They all hugged me and Luis before we all parted ways. Lynn hadn't said a word yet and I wouldn't push her, but then she grinned over at me before we reached the SUV rental in the back parking lot of the restaurant."What?" I asked with a returned grin.She looked over at Luis. "You wouldn't mind finding your way back to the hotel alone, would you? There's a... secret spot I want to show Drake before we leave tomorrow."Secret spot? So, there really was one? I tried to hide my excitement as I glared over at Luis and hoped he'd agree.He looked between the two of us. "Oh my God, you two are going some place to fuck, aren't you?"God, I hope so.I looked over at lynn and saw her cheeks redden before she burst out laughing."Luis, you really know how to make the situation more uncomfortable than it needs to be." She reached into her pocket
"My life has completely changed since the last time I was up here. This used to be the only place I felt happy and safe." She turned in her seat and got on her knees. "You're my happy, safe place now and I wanted to share that with you." She reached for the button on my jeans as I instinctively leaned back. "To show you just how happy you make me."My mouth fell open as she slipped her hand inside my jeans and wrapped her fingers around my throbbing dick. I have had this raging hard-on for too long and now that she was touching it, I froze in my spot. Fuck, this felt good.Her hand began to slowly stroke me as she stared into my eyes. Mine were cast down as I watched her hand bob up and down in my jeans, and I had to bite my bottom lip to stop my moan from coming out. If she kept up with this, I wasn't going to be able to fucking control myself. My hands were already itching to tear her clothes off, but I would be a good boy and let her take control once again; I've never done anythin
LYNN'S POV We've been back in Florida for a week now, and things couldn't be better. I still hadn't given Drake an answer to his question about me moving in and I knew he wasn't going to push the subject again. I wanted to, I really did, but the last time I let myself give up everything for a guy, it went horribly wrong. Drake wasn't Jason, but that fear still had a hold over me."So, Drake signed the lease for his building this morning," Dakota stated as I got pulled out of my daze."Yeah?" Drake had been so excited when we got home last week. He received an email from Mike at XXX Studios stating that he was free from his contract pending his attendance at the awards ceremony, which just so happened to be tonight. It was cute when Drake was nervous to ask me to be his date for it. He was sweating bullets and kept talking in circles until I made him just spit it out. It was evident that he thought I wouldn't go with him, but we were officially together now, and I would support him th
I went back to the letter and continued reading. There were stats and a whole slew of numbers that I had no idea what was for, but when I turned the page, my mouth dropped open.There was a check at the bottom of the page addressed to my wrongful name of Martinez, but it wasn't my name that surprised me. No, the check was for almost two million dollars. I looked back over the last few paragraphs and finally saw what the check was for. Being a Tuffin by birth gave me shares in the company. This was a check for this year's market shares according to the letter.I couldn't believe my eyes and as I turned to the next page, I saw a handwritten note from Mama Bell.[My dearest lynn,I know the money will never make up for the time we lost with you, but I sure hope this helps. Tuffin Aerospace will send you a check similar to this one every quarter. I have also enclosed the information from your parents' lawyer regarding your inheritance account that was saved through all of this. We hope to
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I leaned up and lightly kissed his lips. "Are we ready to go?"He led me around the car and helped me in before he got in himself. I had a huge grin on my face and couldn't wait to tell him all about the neverending good news I had tonight."Who was on the phone?" Drake asked as he backed out of his driveway."Micky," I stated as I noticed his grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Calm down, He-man," I joked. "He called to tell me that Conner got adopted this week."Drake's demeanor changed instantly. "No shit? That's amazing news!"I nodded. "And you'll never guess who adopted him..." When he didn't say anything, I blurted, "My sister Careen.""Really? Oh, lynn, that's incredible! That kid deserves a new go at life and your sister seemed like a pretty great person." He reached over and grabbed my hand before he brought it to his lips and lightly kissed it."Have I told you that I loved you yet today?" I inquired with a grin on my face.He chuckled
Everything was perfectly put together for tonight and I couldn't wait to see how it would go; I'd never been to something like this before."Yeah, they put a lot of money into this ceremony.""Do you think you'll win anything?" I inquired as I brought my gaze back to his.He smirked. "Probably."I knew that he was trying to be humble with me, but I knew better. If he won any awards, he'd deserve them.The auditorium began to fill up fast. One minute it was empty, and the next, there were hundreds of people finding their seats.The lights dimmed then and loud music blared from the speakers."Excuse me, love," someone stated as they nudged my leg.I looked up and saw two familiar faces. Weren't those the girls who answered Drake's door only wearing robes? "Hey," the other whispered, "you came!"One sat in the empty seat next to Drake while the other sat next to me."I'm Dezzy." She stuck her hand out for me to shake and I took it. "Sorry we didn't meet properly last time. Drake talks a
