He stood up and laid me on the patio table. Reighvyn thrust deep inside of me, causing the table to shake as he stood over me with one hand planted on my chest and the other around my neck.
My mouth dropped open, and I panted as I watched his dick disappear inside of me only to slide back out covered in my pussy juices. I didn’t know if it was that sight or watching his eyes roll back in his head that caused me to lose control. The only thing that I knew was that I released a loud, high-pitched call that rivaled the seagulls. His roar was no less powerful as it ripped from his throat when he released his seed inside of me.
Reighvyn lowered over my body, stared into my eyes, and passionately kissed me for several long seconds.
“Do you want to ride to the airport with me to see me off?” he asked an hour later.
The car service had pulled up out front, and Reighvyn’s bags were in the trunk.
I exhaled slowly. “As appealing as that sounds, I think I had better turn that down. It’ll be too hard.”
Reighvyn laughed. “A’ight, baby. I’ll see you soon.”
“Not soon enough. I wish we could remain in our private little bubble.”
“I feel the same way, baby. Remember what we talked about, though?”
“That you’ll be retiring soon?”
“Exactly. So think of this as a small sacrifice to set us up for the future.”
He planned to open a gym after retirement and train professional athletes in MMA.
He kissed me, and I slowly walked back up the sidewalk to the cottage. I heard the sound of gym shoes slapping against the sidewalk and turned to see him running back toward me.
Reighvyn grabbed me and kissed me hard.
“I love you more than anything. Don’t you ever forget that.”
I whispered, “Same,” before I kissed him one final time.
He reached inside of his pocket and removed a seashell necklace that he made. I gasped as he placed it around my neck. “This is like a promise ring. It’s my promise that when I’m done, I’ll return to you. Whenever you start to doubt, put these seashells to your ear and listen to the memories of our time spent here. Okay?”
The tears streamed down my face at his sweet gesture as I bobbed my head and threw my arms around him again. He squeezed me tightly before he pulled back and dropped a kiss on my forehead and then my lips. All too soon, he released me and ran back to the car.
When the car pulled away, the tears came faster, and my cries became audible. I felt so empty inside. With Reighvyn, I felt seen again and understood for the first time in a long time.
I ran into the house to do something that I should have done a while ago.
“Hello?”The familiar voice that was once harsh, bitter, and pained and had rained so many accusations and horrible names on me, was much kinder now.
“Gemma, it’s Dove.”
The soft, sweet voice immediately turned icy after she released a scoff.“Why are you calling me? You should be happy that you have Neal to yourself now.”
“That’s not why I’m calling. I don’t have or want Neal. I’m calling to apologize to you.”
“For what? You knew you were messing with a married man.”
“A married man who told me that he was in the midst of a divorce and there was nothing to salvage.”
“And you believed him?”
“It sounds flimsy, but that’s the truth. I didn’t know he was married until much later. I should have known better and done better. I would never knowingly and willingly hurt another woman the way that I hurt you by my actions.”
“You saved me. If you hadn’t snuck around, I don’t know how long I would have been in the dark. It forced me to look into all his questionable past behaviors and learn that Neal had had affairs in the past. Hope that you never experience the kind of pain you brought me.”
She ended the call without saying goodbye. I couldn’t blame her. My thoughts turned to Daniella. I sighed and made another call.
