calamity. (sequel to Mr. Reynolds)

When I say this house is absolutely insane, I mean it. I thought his house at home was huge, but this, this was next level. And Greyson said it's ours. Ours. I don't think there will ever be a point in my life where I get used to things like this.

I laid there in the big bed, starring at Greyson. I didn't mind that he was on his phone, but I knew he sensed me looking at him when he sat it on the nightstand. He turned on his side and pulled me into him. "I'm so lucky." I mumbled. He chuckled, kissing my head. "I think I'm the lucky one." I just smiled at him, kissing him. "You always say that, but you'll never understand how crazy I find it that you chose me." He kissed my head softly, pushing my hair back on the pillow. He stroked my cheek softly, his grip on my thigh tightening as he pulled me closer. "I can't wait to marry you." He whispered, kissing me gently.

I sat on the couch in the living room, reading, waiting for Greyson to come back. The island is so peaceful, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit scared of the seclusion once it was night. The door opened and slammed behind Greyson. He walked over to me and took my book, saving the page and pulling me into his lap. "What's wrong?" I immediately asked, running my fingers through his hair. "I bring everyone to the island so we can have a nice vacation, I try to have a good family vacation." He said, stressed as he threw his head back. "We're supposed to head to the main island tomorrow morning and it just seems like such an inconvenience for everyone. My grandma still has a stick up her ass about who knows what, my parents and grandpa keep telling her to get over it so they're all fighting. Huston and Gerald don't want to wake up early because god forbid they don't stay up until 2 in the morning getting wasted on the beach just like every time we come." I couldn't help but smile, he wanted everyone to get along and enjoy themselves and it seems like everyone's wrapped in their own little worlds.

"So we'll just go at the time you had planned and if anyone wants to come they can and if not, fuck them." His eyes were still closed and his head was still back but a smile cracked on his features. I tugged on his hair a little to bring his face to mine again. "You planned a beautiful vacation for everyone, thinking of what everyone might want to do, not just you. That's a lovely thing to do for your family, they should appreciate it, I appreciate it more than you know. And I'm sorry your grandma is still in a bad mood because of me." He sighed, pulling me closer, resting his hands on my butt. "Baby, it's not your fault. She's always thought she has a claim to what is mine. My family had money but my money, that's all from the empire I built, not them. Not a single dime of the family's fortune has gone to any of my businesses, that's all me. I think she forgets that her parents came from a non wealthy family as well and they worked for their money, unlike her. You may not have a family fortune and a high social status but I couldn't give a shit less. I'm glad you don't, you're such a kind and loyal person with a beautiful soul, that's all that matters. I refuse to make you sign any bull shit paperwork to satisfy her need to be in control of every situation. I'd never in a million years think you're with me for money or status, in spite of it maybe." He smirked at the last part and I couldn't help but laugh. "I want you to know now, before a big wedding, before any vows or anything. I love you. I'm in love with you. My company was all I ever thought about in life, how I could steal the best clients, how I could have the largest empire, how I could be at the top of the billionaires list, but none of that truly matters. My company will always be important to me but you will always be more important. The empire is nothing if you're not there to share it with me. Take it all baby, anything you want, I want you to have it because if you were gone tomorrow it would truly mean nothing to me. You are my only priority now and I will spend the rest of our lives showing you that and worshiping the ground you walk on." I smiled, looking down at our laps shyly.

"You've always been good at expressing your emotions to me." I said softly. He gently grabbed my chin, kissing me softly and slowly. "I feel the need to tell you all the time how much you mean to me because I've messed up so much in the past. I don't want you ever, even for a millisecond to question my feelings for you. And I know you love me truly and deeply like I do you." I smiled. "I do. More than you know." He cupped my cheek, kissing me more passionately this time. I kept running my fingers through his hair, pulling his body as close to mine as possible. His hands slipped under the large shirt I was wearing to the strings of the bikini tied around my hips. He tugged on them, allowing the bows to come undone and the fabric to hang off me. His warm hands squeezed my bare ass, rolling my hips forward into his. A low moan escaped us both and he broke the kiss to kiss down my neck softly. I could die right now 100% happy and content without a single regret in my life.
