Gladys was waiting anxiously outside the house when they arrived.Toria and Andreas stood aside with indulgent smiles after they'd tried to tell her countless times that Reyona was better now.Well, Toria tried to tell her that though.The jury was still out on Andreas.After all, Gladys was perfectly shocked when she found a very male shirt in the room that had been given to Toria.The explanation from her daughter that she loved trying out new things, including male clothing, had not made any difference to her at all.She automatically suspected something was happening between Toria and her so-called boss.“Which boss would personally take you from almost half the world away and stay till now?” she grumbled before Andrea arrived that morning to check out the allocated medical room and direct those making the arrangements.That took her mind off her daughter’s escapades for a moment as she went to discuss Reyona's current health status with Andrea.When she came out and saw Toria and
Andreas left for Cyprus the next day but Toria stayed behind.Though Reyona told her she was feeling better, Toria told her her teammates got everything handled.Andreas told them he had no issues with her staying for as long as she wanted to.The property they were currently working on was one in a series of many that Andreas had lined up for T and T Interiors.It turned out that Andreas had carved out his niche in real estate investment by doing flipping.His business had to do with buying run-down properties and turning them into extravagant masterpieces before selling them off.It was a lucrative yet risky venture to get into.From the little that Toria had told them at dinner, Andreas had made quite a name for himself in Cyprus and across the continent, which set him apart from his family's affluence.Andreas himself had barely said anything at all, but even from what Maxwell, Celia and Andrew had said about him, it was apparent that the man was worth much more than the credit he
“He left me his jet."“What?” Reyona exclaimed in surprise.His pilot would be on standby to call whenever I am ready to go back.”“How is he getting back?”“He said his brother was picking him up.”“Picking him up, his brother is a pilot?”“Yeah, not professionally, of course,” Toria said as she sat in the wicker chair with a sigh. “They are licensed to do a lot of things.”“They?” Reyona asked curiously.“He has five brothers, Rey. I can't even wrap my head around the number of cousins he has,” Toria said in a pensive tone.Reyona stared at Toria for a moment before saying “You like him.”Toria looked at her with contemplation before saying “Is it obvious?”“Not at first glance, but I think you do.”Instead of answering, Toria reached for her glass of drink and sipped it.When she looked at Reyona's expectant face, she shook her head and said “He is…intense.”That surprised Reyona. “Andreas? He looked very laid-back to me.”“Yeah. It fools you, doesn't it? That is not all there is to
The next few days were spent in bliss by Reyona.Surrounded by her family and friends, someone was always with her at one point or the other.Feeding her some sort of nourishing meal they were always convinced was good for her or the baby.Reminding her that she was not allowed to do anything more than lift her cutlery to eat or rest.She almost baulked when Maxwell insisted on helping her with her bath.Then she agreed when she thought of the many possibilities of what could happen during the bath.But then, the infuriating man had to leave her unsatisfied when he insisted he wanted her to be at her hundred per cent when they finally got down to business.She was not even that bruised anymore, for god’s sake.The bandages had come off her hands and her sides only had a few bruises left.She didn’t wince again when holding something or making any sudden movement.She could even walk now without feeling any pull at all.At least he had finally let her get off the damn wheelchair.She s
Reyona declared she was going to give her horse the most regal name in history.“When I can rationally think of one that I wouldn’t regret later,” she added, with the most adorable look Maxwell had ever seen on her.After spending some time with her new horse to make up for the initial lack of acknowledgement, Reyona declared she was ready to make her childhood dream come true.“Which is?” Maxwell asked indulgently while drinking in every inch of her joyful exuberance.He couldn’t believe that a woman who had so much more would be deeply touched by something as simple as what he had done.It made him want to think of many more ways to surprise her.He knew if he could live the rest of his days seeing this kind of smile on her face, he would be the most fulfilled man on earth.“Back when my dad and mom used to fight, I would hide under my covers and try to block them out.” she started with a pensive smile on her face.Maxwell hugged her to himself and kissed her hair as she continued “W
Reyona orgasmed over and over again.She bit her lips to stop herself from screaming out loud for the ears of whoever might be close enough to hear.Just as she was getting too weak to keep holding on to the tree, he threw her over the edge again.She slumped forward as she screamed anyway.He straightened as he took her lips in his mouth, swallowing her scream as her body bucked against his.She slid off the horse, and he held her to his body.She could feel his rock-hard shaft as he helped her to her feet.“We…we need to take care of that. Take care of you.” she managed to say as they caught their breath together.“No time,” he said breathily.“Time for what?” Reyona asked as he moved her a bit so he could lead the horse forward.“Surprise,” he said with a strained smile.“More? I don’t think my heart could take more,” she said in a naughty tone. “Not after that.”He groaned as he said, “I am trying to calm this beast down, Reyona.”“Okay, okay. I am sorry. I feel bad though. I so w
Reyona was super happy when Andrea finally gave her a clean bill of health.Alysyn also had her bandage adjustment the day before,Her bandage was switched to a lighter dressing, and she could finally turn over on her back with some soft cushion to comfort her behind in the little period that the doctor said she could try resting on it."Any discomfort at all and I want you to turn over immediately." Andrea had instructed.She even promised they could start with some sitting in a couple of days.Allysyn was so happy about it and Reyona could understand how the girl felt.Even she who could walk about, lie on her back and sit as much as she wanted, had felt constrained by the extreme carefulness with which she had to do everything.All because those surrounding her think she was an egg that could break anytime from something as small as filling the tub for her own bath.She could only guess what it must have been like for a kid who had to do what the adults say most times anyway.Add th
They had the best of times shopping.He was fully engaged in every aspect of every choice they made for the baby.From the crib, changing table, baby monitor, and nightlight down to the onesies, pajamas, and swaddles, to the bathing, feeding, healthcare, playtime essentials and every other thing they could think of.They had so much looking up and selecting many more items than the ones they had ever gotten in Sydney.Maxwell booked the baby needs store she chose for the day and the attendants were at their beck and call.When Reyona told him she didn’t think it was really necessary, he told her it was for the best.He was still very sensitive about the media exposure they had had to deal with and didn’t want them to wake up to their pictures splashed on a cover page because they did something that was supposed to be uniquely theirs.When he explained it, Reyona remembered what had happened the last time they had gone shopping at Kayooma.It had been a means for some sleazy papers to m
