She came round and stood before him, cupping his face in her hands. “I wasn’t done talking. Yes, it was long, but considering Georgia had over three years, you have little to be ashamed about. You are here and you are making up for it.” She smiled up at him and he sighed at the comfort it gave him. “He wasn’t even scared when he came onboard. I was expecting the water works when we set sail but that didn’t happen either.”
Reno smiled with little humor. “You sound disappointed.”
She shook her head. “No. I sound proud, and I feel it too. The first time I took him outside the house and sat in the sand, I had to have Ruiz and Melody as backup. He wouldn’t leave otherwise. The same with when we went into the water, he cried so hard, I wanted to cry.”
Reno pressed his lips on her forehead, falling in love with her a little bit more. “It’s hard to believe that after I saw him in the wat

“I’m sorry buddy for being such a—” he caught himself before he cursed, “I was such a dudu head and I promise to make it up to you.” He kissed Tyler’s temple. “We have a lot to thank your mommy for. I just hope she’ll love tomorrow’s surprise. I hope you do too.”Tyler sighed, turning his head and rubbing it on Reno’s shoulder before he settled into sleep again.“Okay, I guess I’ll put you down now before your mom comes in and scolds me for disturbing you.” He laid Tyler down, pulling the covers up around him. He sat down next to him and watched him for a while.Just remembering how excited he was steering the ship’s wheel made him smile.At first, Tyler had been quietly sitting on Reno’s arm as they pushed out of dock, round brown eyes watching the water ripple behind them like he was expecting it to jump a few feet higher, pull him out of Reno’s a

“But that didn’t stop her from being your mother. I’m sure you guys had a great time at least once.”Reno nodded with a smile. “We always took Sunday off no matter what. We’d spend most of it sleeping because we were so exhausted from working all week and Riana would take care of us that day.” He laughed at the memory of Riana standing on a stool so she could reach the stove to cook. She would pamper them as they lazed on the couch in front of the TV the entire day because they couldn’t afford to go out.He never realized how hard she worked taking care of their little home. There was always something to eat the few minutes they spent at home before jetting out to work. Their laundry was always done and his sofa bed was always pulled out and ready for him to fall into at the end of each day. She kept them moving, the heart of a well-oiled engine and he’d never realized that until that moment.“Riana made our guilt lighter to bear and our lives easier. She never acted up, always kept h

Loraine felt him stiffen around her and she knew he was beyond shocked. She just hoped he wouldn’t judge her; it was the reason she had never told her parents. She didn’t want to take the risk of being judged, especially by her grandparents. They would only blame it on her mother like they did everything else.“What did you say?” he whispered, a noticeable strain in his voice.“We met in the hotel lobby and started going out. It was great and I thought I was in love, my own romance novel come true. But I wouldn’t go to bed with him. I was still a virgin and I needed to be sure because that was one decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly.” She shrugged. “I guess he got tired of waiting and you know the rest. That night he was a complete stranger to me, not the guy my young heart went pitter patter over.”His arms tightened around her, his breathing harsh as his chest heaved. He was furious with her.“I’m sorry.” She tried to pull away but he wouldn’t let her go.“No!” he barked, makin

Loraine had been hoping the night would end with some love making if not wild sex but Reno just held her and they stayed silent, both engrossed in their own thoughts until they finally fell asleep. They woke up to Tyler jumping up and down on their bed, which ended in a mock fight between him and Reno. She watched them for a while before she set off to make breakfast for her family, leaving Reno to help Tyler get ready. The night had been wonderful she felt like the two of them had grown closer because of the discussion though she felt guilty about not telling him the whole truth. But soon she will when the time was right. “And when will that be, Lori?” she asked herself. When would be the right time to tell Reno she wasn’t as safe as he thought she was? And now that she was involved with he and Tyler… Loraine felt her chest tighten with panic. If Pierre knew about Tyler, would he use him against her? How far would he go this time to get her? “Mama!” Loraine jumped, the spatula fa

Reno watched Loraine as she slammed her fist on her thigh, clearly angry. He wished he would have known sooner about her parents; he wouldn’t have invited them then. They were going to ruin everything! He just hoped they wouldn’t sway her decision to stay.“How much of a fuss are they causing?” he asked turning back to Allan.“They wanted to come on the yacht here with us and take Loraine away. But I kept them off and Ruiz is going to make sure they don’t get off the island. I wish you’d called and asked me about inviting them before you did it.”Reno took a deep swig of his beer. “Well it won’t matter. Loraine has made a commitment not only to me but also to Tyler. She won’t break it.”Allan chuckled. “It’s going to be interesting seeing how it all goes down. We should probably head back and handle it before tomorrow. Oh, the lawyer and the notary arrived just as we left.”Reno nodded. “Good. I’d like her to sign them and have them filed as soon as possible just in case Georgia decid

“What?” Her mother spoke for the first time, standing slowly from the couch. Since she’d walked in, she looked absent, her eyes void mechanically speaking and moving. But now, she actually looked like she had life in her though she looked like she was in pain.“What did you say?”Loraine chewed on the insides of her lips, the urge to cry consuming her. But she wouldn’t do that. She wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing her loneliness her desperation to be loved unconditionally again. She would give herself that. She had Reno and Tyler to give her that, and she didn’t need it from them anymore. The years of taking the scrapes they offered were over!“Come on, mom. Ever since you let them turn you into this,” her hand pointed from her mother’s meticulously styled hair to her low pumps, “you haven’t showed me a morsel of genuine affection.” She turned to her father. “And you, ever since grandmother and grandfather told you loving your wife and child was so not done in high societ

Reno watched as Loraine led her mother upstairs. He had been shocked when the woman spoke for the first time, though it had been only one word. When they’d met at the resort, she’d been polite but distant. The only emotion he’d seen in her was when she hugged her daughter, thankful that she was safe. It made him wonder why they thought she was safe with him until her father revealed they had no idea where she was. His invitation had solved that, and Reno wondered if Loraine had even wanted them to know where she was.Well, it couldn’t be helped at this point and with Robert Larson’s immediate attack, he’d had to delay his surprise. He was forced to push it to tomorrow, which maybe was better considering what he had planned then, if Jake and Gil got here in time.Reno looked at his watch. They were two hours late. On top of Loraine’s father, he couldn’t afford any more huddles. After her father’s reaction, it was a good thing he hadn’t invited her extended family. He couldn’t imagine w

Loraine watched her mother with Tyler on her lap as they ate in the midst of laughter and conversation. Well, her mother laughed as Tyler got rib sauce all over himself and her. Loraine hadn’t been sure what to expect when Tyler patted her cheek, leaving a print of his little hand. She’d watched her mother with bated breath, praying she wouldn’t over react. Her mother had laughed, not even bothering to wipe it off. Instead she painted her lips with the same sauce and kissed both Tyler’s cheeks leaving a print of her lips. Tyler rewarded her with a smile and a kiss of his own and Loraine could swear she saw tears in her mother’s eyes.She never thought she’d ever see this woman again—carefree and too happy to sweat the small stuff.When Susan had asked her for a makeover, Loraine jumped on that fast in case she changed her mind. She had her mother remove her contacts and used the left over hair dye to darken her blonde hair to a chestnut shade, and then she let it dry on its own for na
