Renewed (Awakened Book 2)

by Watkins, CN

  Would this trip disappoint me at all?

  I walked into the bedroom, and the room was consumed by a king size bed. There was another huge cutout in the floor at the end of the bed, so I walked over and looked down, staring into the ocean. As I watched the fish swim by, I couldn’t help but giggle.

  As I continued walking around, I spotted a tub outside on the back patio that looked to be made out of granite and could easily fit four people inside.

  “I can’t wait to make you mine in this tub,” Stefan said, grabbing me by my waist and twirling me around to face him. “But now, bed.” He picked me up and carried me into the bedroom.

  Stefan laid me down on the bed, pulling off my shoes and pants. “No clothes.” He unzipped my Juicy sweatshirt and raised me up so that he could remove my white shirt underneath. He unhooked my bra before laying me back down and pulling the light sheet over my body.

  I watched as he pulled his shirt over his head and pulled down his jeans, leaving him standing in just his black Armani boxer briefs. I was drooling.

  I was definitely drooling.

  “Underwear stays on. I need you to sleep right now.”

  He climbed into bed and pulled me close to him. Stefan cuddled into the nook of my neck and laid light kisses on my earlobe.

  “Don’t ever leave me, baby,” he whispered.

  “Don’t ever leave me,” I replied, totally serious. He knew how much this all scared me.

  “Never. The heart you feel beating against your back right now…it beats because of you, for you, and only you, lady. Every piece of me was created for you. You are my eternity, Jennifer, and you will always be my eternity, you will always be enough for me.”

  God, this man is a dream come true.

  My eyelids grew heavy, and I finally gave in to sleep as Stefan drew imaginary circles on my hip bone.

  Chapter Nine

  I slowly opened my eyes to a deep, unraveling feeling in my core. I moaned as I tried to move over to my side, but something - someone - held me in place. I rose up on my elbows and looked down towards the end of the bed, then titled my head back in pure satisfaction. Stefan owned me. He possessed me.

  I finally gave in to the pleasure coursing through my body, and my arms collapsed under me. Stefan’s hand snaked up my stomach, and under my bra, squeezing my breast. I cupped my hand over his and we began gently stroking my breast together. I cried out as I lifted my hands to run them hands through his hair, pulling it.

  I cried out as his tongue ventured deeper inside of me, twirling in and out. Stefan slipped a finger inside of me, sending me over the edge as my body began bucking against his hold.

  “Stefan!”

  He continued sucking and licking me as I slowly melted around him. Stefan began planting small kisses on my inner thigh, slowly pulling himself up my body and flicking my nipples with his tongue.

  “Good morning, my gorgeous girl.” He leaned his head down, almost grazing his lips with mine. A faint smile tipped the edge of his lips. “The way you taste...” He licked his lips. “I’m going to fuck you hard, baby.” I watched the flames dance excitedly in his eyes.

  Oh shit…

  Without warning, he thrust inside me, causing me to recoil and scream out. He didn’t stop.

  Oh no…he didn’t stop.

  Instead, he pulled back and rammed into me again, knocking the breath out of my lungs.

  “Tell me you want me.”

  Pound!

  “I want you!”

  Pound!

  “Tell me you love me. That’ll you never leave me.”

  Pound!

  “I love you!”

  “And…?”

  “Tell me, Jennifer!”

  Pound!

  “I won’t!”

  “You won’t what?”

  Pound!

  “I won’t fucking leave you!”

  Pound!

  My muscles tightened around his length as he drove into me, not stopping.

  “Stephan!” I collapsed around him.

  Pound!

  He growled, and I felt his warmness radiate through my whole body as he collapsed on top of me.

  “You make me think crazy things,” he whispered.

  “I love you forever and six days,” I whispered back to him.

  “I love you forever and seven days.”

  “Why do we have to leave?” Stefan asked as I pulled myself out from underneath him.

  “Because we have to meet Kennedy and Ayden for lunch.”

  He groaned. “Fine, we’ll go to lunch…and whatever else, but after the wedding you’re all mine.”

  “You can’t just keep me locked up in here when we brought people with us.” I said as I turned on the shower.

  “Like fuck I can’t.” He gripped my hips, spinning me around to face him. “Don’t tempt me, woman. I will keep you locked up here our whole trip. Remember who you belong to.”

  Belong to?

  “I don’t belong to-”

  “And I belong to you.” He moved his nose back and forth across mine.

  “That sounds better.”

  I felt his arousal push against me. “You are relentless.”

  “I am?”

  “You’re my relentless god.” I let him pick me up in one swift movement, setting me down in the shower.

  “God, huh?” He asked as he put me under the shower stream.

  After my hair was washed I stepped out, wiping my face. “Yes, god.” I opened my eyes to find him smiling, a cocky smile.

  Look, you made his head as big as the room.

  “I’ll forever be your god.” He leaned down and planted a swift kiss on my lips before he went to work and started washing me.

  After we both took turns washing each other, Stefan got out, grabbing a big, fluffy white towel. He carefully dried every inch of me.

  “If we didn’t have somewhere to be, I’d take you right here,” Stefan said as he helped me out of the shower. My core knotted as I thought of letting him take me to the bedroom, or the shower, or outside, or…

  Lunch! You are meeting Kennedy and Ayden for lunch!

  I snapped back to reality as Stefan placed small, tender kisses in the sensitive spot between my ear and my shoulder. I tilted my head to the side giving him better access.

  “Remind me.”

  Soft kiss.

  “Why we’re.”

  Soft kiss.

  “Going out, again?”

  Hot tongue trailing…

  In one swift movement, he picked me up and forced my legs to wrap around his waist and my arms around his neck. Stefan pushed his tongue into my mouth, searching for mine as he carried me into the bedroom. He sat me down at the end of the bed, unlocking our tight lips.

  We are never getting out of this bungalow…

  Stefan stood in front of me in all his naked glory. I could get so lost in him…and all those damn muscles. I wrapped my hands around his ass, digging my nails into his skin, and looked up at him through my lashes, his eyes locking with mine.

  I saw passion...

  Love...

  Excitement...

  My eyes stayed locked with his as I twirled my tongue around the tip of his strong, hard cock and tasted his salty, warm arousal. He closed his eyes, leaning his head back and running his hands through my hair.

  “Oh fuck, Jennifer!”

  I took him deeper into my mouth. I would never get enough of pleasuring him, making him moan out my name. I unclenched one of his cheeks and brought my hand around, pulling my hand down his cock and stopping at the base of his length. I took him further into my mouth, letting his dick hit the back of my mouth as I swallowed him completely.

  I pulled back, sucking hard on the tip of him and swirling my tongue around him. One of his hands fell down to my cheek and my neck while his other hand pulled my wet hair back out of my face. I pulled him out of my mouth and licked my lips while I watched him pull his head down to meet my gaze.

  “God, I love
your mouth,” he said as he stroked my bottom lip.

  I pulled him back into my mouth and took him as deep as I could before pulling back and going back down him again. I quickened my pace as I felt him tug on the back of my head.

  “Fuck, Jennifer! Get ready!” He moaned out, bringing his hand down to cup his heavy balls. I kept sucking and swirling my tongue as he began thrusting his hips to meet my mouth. “Dammmmmiiit!”

  I felt his warm taste hitting the back of my throat, and I closed my eyes as I swallowed everything in my mouth. His thrusting slowed as I continued to suck and lick, not wanting to miss a drop.

  I gently released him as he looked down at me, a smile touching the edge of his lips.

  “You’re fucking beautiful…my fucking beautiful,” he said as he lifted me, carrying me to the bathroom. “Get ready.” He slapped my bare ass before turning around and walking into the bedroom.

  “Ouch!” I rubbed my ass with my hands.

  Stefan poked his head back in the door. “Don’t tempt me…I can make you scream a lot louder than that.” He winked before disappearing again.

  I smiled before turning to the mirror and looking at my naked body. I turned to my side and cupped my lower stomach. I still had a flat stomach, but I noticed a small pudge starting.

  I was.

  I rubbed my hands over my tummy, looking at myself in the mirror. How grateful I was for everything in my life—for my overbearing, soon to be husband, and my wonderful Bean.

  “I love you, sunshine,” I whispered to my tummy. “You’ll forever be my ray of sunshine.” I never pictured myself being a mom; having everything I ever wanted and dreamed of. Yet, here I was in Bora Bora with my god and a baby on the way.

  Yep, I’m lucky!

  After I got ready, I gave myself one more look over. I was wearing a red halter summer dress that came down to almost my knees, paired with shiny, nude flats. My dark hair was pulled up into a low, messy bun, and my makeup was minimal.

  I found Stefan on the lower deck of the patio next to the ladder. His khaki pants were rolled up as he swayed his feet back and forth in the ocean. I took off my flats and sat down next to him, putting my own feet into the water. It was cool but felt amazing.

  “Whatcha thinking about?” I asked him, looking at him looking at the ocean.

  “Everything,” he replied without looking at me.

  “Everything okay?”

  “More than okay.” He looked over at me, taking my hands in his. “I’m just thinking about how happy I am, and how in love with you I am, but I’m…scared…” He ran his fingers through his dark hair, breaking our eyes contact.

  “What are you scared about?”

  He took a deep, calming breath, then slowly turned his gaze back towards me. “You know I love you, right?” he asked as I nodded my head yes. “You know that I would do anything for you, right? Anything to protect you, protect our baby.” He rubbed my tummy.

  “Yes,” I whispered.

  “I get so scared that one day I’ll come home from work…come home from a business trip…shit, even come home from running errands, and you’ll be…well, you’ll be gone.” He lowered his head.

  I swung one leg over his waist and straddled him, wrapping my arms around his neck, and snaking my hands up the back of his head. Be strong for him. Show him.

  “Stefan, I’m here. Right here.” He wrapped his arms around my lower back and pulled me into him. “I’m scared too, but I’m more scared of what my life will be like with you nowhere in sight…nowhere in my life. I can’t imagine that. I can’t possibly live my life without you. No matter how scared I get about marriage, about being a mom, I’m more scared of my life without you.” I leaned in and planted a light kiss on his lips.

  I loved my controlling, dominant Stefan, but I treasured this fragile Stefan.

  “I don’t know what I would ever do without you. I’m pretty sure my life would be meaningless without you in it. You are everything I’ve ever waited for, everything I’ve dreamed about. I felt like I was going through life in a fog, but then I laid eyes on you and I took my real first breath. I could see clearer. It’s always been you, Jennifer, and it will always be you.” He slipped his finger under my chin and pulled my lips into his...merging them...owning them.

  I loved this man…I loved him more than I could ever possibly love anyone. I could never leave him. I could never be without him in my life.

  “I love you forever and seven days,” I whispered into his mouth.

  “I love you forever and eight days.”

  I pulled my head back and looked at him. “Why do you always say you love me one more day then whatever I say?”

  “Because I could never live a day without you, so I will always love you one day more then you love me. Therefore, I never have to know the feeling of not loving you.”

  Just like that, he stole every inch and every beat of my heart. I no longer belonged to myself, no longer owned my body, mind, and spirit. Stefan did. Stefan owned me, possessed me, loved me. How did I deserve this man? I really needed to thank my lucky stars.

  My heart ached as I listened to his words float so effortlessly off his tongue. He meant every word he said with every beating of his heart. I knew it. I felt it.

  Stefan leaned his forehead on mine and together we took a deep, soothing breath. We sat like that for a couple of minutes before I heard a banging on the front door.

  Ah, Kennedy has been holding out…there she is! I’m surprised she wasn’t here earlier.

  I laughed as I peeled myself off my man and stood to my feet. I slipped on my flats as Stefan stood and rolled down his pants.

  He picked me up by my waist and twirled me around. “I love your dress,” he said as he sat me back down on my feet. He leaned down, our lips only inches from each other.

  Bang, Bang!

  “You love me?” he whispered.

  Bang, Bang!

  “Open the door, or I’m smashing it down!” Kennedy yelled from the other side of the door.

  “To the moon and back,” I whispered, ignoring Kennedy.

  Bang, Bang!

  “Here I come! Put your clothes on!”

  Bang, Bang!

  “We better let her in before she breaks the fucking door,” Stefan said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the back door.

  Bang, Bang!

  “Seriously, you guys can fuck anytime you want! Let’s go eat! You have to let her out, Stefan!”

  Oh dear God…fucking crazy best friend!

  Stefan swung the door open to Kennedy standing in front of the door with a innocent smile on her face. Ayden was up the walkway towards the beach area. He was probably embarrassed. I would be too.

  “Good God, woman! You’ve got a fucking filthy mouth…and manners! Come on,” Stefan said, backing away and walking back into the living room to grab his shoes.

  “We were supposed to go eat lunch, like, an hour ago!” Kennedy said as I looked around the living room for a clock. I had no idea what time it was. It felt like it should be late at night, but I knew that was jet lag.

  “Stop complaining,” I said to her, crossing my arms over my chest.

  “And just to let you know, not only can I, but I plan on keeping my woman locked up in here after our wedding…tomorrow. So be prepared.” He winked at Kennedy as he stood to his feet and walked past her towards the front door.

  “Oh heavens. I didn’t need to know that, freak!” Kennedy walked towards Stefan who was already out the front door.

  “Get your ass out here!” Kennedy hollered at me. I picked my jaw up off the floor and started towards her. I closed the door behind me and made my way to the waiting black SUV at the end of the walkway.

  Ayden and Stefan sat in the back seat, chatting about guy stuff while Kennedy and I sat in the row in front of them and chatted about the ocean and the fact that I was getting married tomorrow.

  It still really hadn’t sunken in…I wouldn’t be a White tomorrow. Well, technic
ally I was already a Long since I’d signed our marriage certificate, but tomorrow would make it official in my head, and that scared me.

  I listened to Kennedy go on and on about shopping and my wedding while I silently thought about everything. Before I knew it, we’d pulled up to the restaurant. We got out and walked up to a small restaurant for lunch.

  We sat down at a small table outside, so we could watch the sailboats on the ocean in the horizon. Stefan put his hand on the inside of my thigh, squeezing me. I placed my hand over his as we began ordering our food.

  “I never want to leave here,” Kennedy told Ayden as he put his arm over the back of her chair.

  “Babe, we can stay out here forever,” Ayden agreed with a smile.

  “Uh, so what’s holding us in Oklahoma?” Kennedy asked.

  Bitch! “Uh, forgetting something?” I asked.

  “Oh, yeah…there is something, well someone, holding us in Oklahoma.” She winked at me as she took a sip of her Pina Colada.

  We made light conversation as we waited for our food, but once it arrived we were all so hungry that we barely spoke to each other.

  We left Stefan and Ayden to argue over who would take care of the bill while Kennedy and I made our way to the ladies room.

  “Is Stefan really going to keep you locked up after tomorrow?” Kennedy asked as we separated into our private stalls.

  “Wouldn’t put it past him…” I replied.

  “That means I can stay in with Ayden.” She giggled.

  “You horn dog.”

  “You have no idea. Sex with Ayden’s is…” She let out a deep breath. “It’s pretty amazing.”

  We walked out of the stalls towards the sink.

  “I can imagine…sex with Stefan is mind blowing.”

  “I wouldn’t ever leave our bedroom…or living room…or back porch…” Kennedy started laughing as we washed our hands.

  “Good to know.” She was insane.

  “Let’s go get our sex machines.” She opened the door and walking back towards our men waiting so patient for us.

  “Do you trust me?” Stefan asked me as he grabbed my hand.

  “Yes.” My voice was shaky.
