“I know what you are thinking but considering we had next to nothing, mac and cheese was fancy.”
Loraine’s face flushed with shame. “Sorry.”
He waved her embarrassment away, powdered sugar flying in the air like fairy dust. “Don’t worry about it, poor isn’t something you are familiar with. Did you really have to put powdered sugar on this? I have as much of it on me as on the bread and it’s not in the recipe!” he complained, dusting off his shirt.
“Powdered sugar makes everything taste better!” she retorted.
He snorted then mumbled, “Could have used that growing up.”
Loraine turned off the burner to let the soup rest for a few minutes. She pulled out the bread bowl out of the cupboard, rounding the island she placed it next to the chopping board and stood beside him.
“Reno?”
“Mmhmm,” he responded distractedly as he arranged the

“Please tell me you didn’t confront her over it?”He sighed heavily. “I may be an asshole, but I’m not heartless. I stayed quiet as she cried, saying he wasn’t a bad person, just ambitious and misguided. Then she said two things that shocked me. One that he’d left me Albury’s Place.”Well from what Riana told her, his surprise made sense. “Because he didn’t leave it to Ruiz?”He nodded. “My mom said Ruiz and his mom left just a few months after we did. I was surprised she left it all, considering it was her money that kept the resort open.”Yeah, Loraine understood that. Ruiz would be the logical heir, not Reno. “What’s the second thing?”He shook his head laughing but there was no amusement in it. “Reno Sr. was legally married to my mother, not Ruiz’s.”“What?”“The bastard was legally married to m

Loraine stared down into the clear waters of Nassau harbor as the catamaran sliced through it. It looked so inviting and relaxing she couldn’t wait to go swimming. That morning when Reno woke her up to tell her they were going on a catamaran tour she had expected it. Not the tour but the dodging. He was going to keep them busy enough to forget their heart to heart conversation the night before. He was never one to voluntarily be vulnerable and it must have made him uncomfortable, and she knew he wasn’t going to open up to her again anytime soon. He was back to being him—confident and emotionally distant.She didn’t mind. In fact, his mask was her shield from her own horrors. But his confession, when he said he could love her still had her on her toes. She was ready to wish on stars, toss coins into a fountain, and whatever other superstitious ritual she needed to do to make that come true. When she said she could love him with all her heart, she alread

Reno swam a few laps in the crystal blue ocean hoping to work off some energy. He was getting tired but his dick was still pulsing with need. Seeing Loraine in that two piece string bikini had him at half-mast and his heart beating like a racing horse. He’d hoped teasing her and finding out what had her smiling would be distraction enough. He never thought she’d be thinking the same thing he was. It was good to see she wasn’t all that shy about sex. She may just be agreeable to a friends’ with benefits relationship. They may even start now.He swam back and stood once he got to shallow waters. He swiped water out of his face and opened his eyes just in time for the kiss that turned his feet to lead. Loraine was in the arms of another man her lips pressed to his before he picked her up and twirled her around. Reno couldn’t believe this was happening. It was Georgia all over again but this time he had front row seats.Damn! After al

Loraine and Jake were quietly laughing in the kitchen as they listened to Gil pepper Reno with questions. The inquest had started with safe questions about the resort, and then he very loudly asked Reno’s sexual preference to the current topic of his intentions for Loraine. Reno answered all of them with a laugh in his voice and never once got defensive or irritated. It was amazing how easy going he was. “I’m so glad he’s not a bigot. Not very many straight guys would be comfortable sitting and drinking with Gil, let alone being pawed the way I did,” Jake commented, watching them through the window in the wall that faced the living room.“I’m glad too. Except for cheating spouses, he’s very easy with everything else. I kinda love him,” she blushed pouring lemon juice into the chicken souse.Jake’s smile grew into a grin. “I’m so glad you said that. I always thought you’d be too traumatized to

Loraine wasn’t exactly sure what to say as she stood there, staring down at the little person sitting on the couch partially hidden by Melody’s body. She hadn’t believed it when Reno told her about his phone conversation with Ruiz that had visibly rattled him on their way back to the resort. But now as she stared at him at his beautiful little face that was the miniature version of his father, there was no doubt that this was Reno’s son. A whirlwind of emotions bombarded her but one stood out prominently—jealousy. Not of the boy but of his mother. She’d actually dreamed of giving him his first kid, his first son. The past few days with Reno had made her want a number of things, hope for many more as she excitedly planned for a future that at the moment looked bleak. Had Georgia come back? Was she hoping for reconciliation with Reno? Why else would she bring their son to him? Is this where I lose Reno? Just the thought of the possibility made

Reno paced in his office, suddenly feeling caged. He never expected this, least of all, he never expected Georgia to do this without an ulterior motive. What was she planning? Was this kid a preview to the real gag? What the hell was she thinking doing this, now?“Reno, what are you thinking?”Reno looked at Ruiz, seated in the chair with his arms crossed over his chest. He looked relaxed but the look in his eyes betrayed him. He was worried. Reno had told him a little about Georgia. Ruiz was actually glad she’d skipped on him. His exact words were ‘you dodged a bullet bro, that woman is conniving and nothing but trouble.’Well, it looked like trouble had come looking.“That Georgia is up to something and it’s not good.”He nodded. “What about the kid? He’s definitely your son.”Reno sighed, halting his pacing. He didn’t know what to think about the kid. At one time, he&

He rested his arm over his eyes. “Do what?”“Groan like you are upset. Tyler is three and in a strange place. He might get scared and I told him he could come sleep with us if he does.”Reno groaned again and yelped right after when Loraine pinched him. “Why do you keep doing that?”Reno moved his arm and looked at her. “Could we please not discuss this right now? I’m exhausted.”Her brow rose and her lips spread in a grin. He knew he was in trouble because there was nothing happy about that grin. “What’s his name Reno?”“What?”“What’s your son’s name Reno?” she demanded angrily.“Tyler,” he answered and he only knew that because she’d said it just a few minutes ago. He’d come with an envelope full of papers about him but Reno hadn’t bothered to look inside it. He didn’t want to know.

Loraine watched Tyler as he played with his action figures on the carpet on the floor in the living room. For the past two days it had been nice watching him come out of his shell, though he still refused to go outside. He enjoyed exploring the house, going from room to room like they each held an exciting secret he was anxious to figure out. It had shocked her when he asked for permission before he ventured to any part of the house. Apparently the witch had him segregated to one room all his life. It pissed her off and that rage festered as Reno continued to ignore him.For the past two days, Reno would leave early in the morning and come back late in the evening. He was avoiding her as well, avoiding the discussion she wanted to have with him about Tyler. Since she was still frightened of her haunting nightmares, she stayed awake holding Tyler as he slept waiting until she felt Reno’s body lie behind her before she allowed herself to sleep.She didn’t und
