Reaching over, he grabbed his suit pants from the edge of the bed, and a small box fell out.
Rena understood his intentions and rose to her feet, declaring, âIâm going to take a shower.
â
Waylen pulled her back, and she found herself enveloped in his embrace.
With a diamond ring in hand, he revealed, â52 carats.
Do you like it?â
His gaze burned with intensity as he fixed his eyes on her.
She accepted the ring and gently slid it onto her middle finger.
Of course, it was not the perfect fit.
She smiled and remarked, âItâs too small, not quite suitable.
â
Waylenâs eyes deepened.
âPerhaps itâll fit your ring finger.
Give it a try.
â
Rena recognized this as a rare display of flattery from him.
If she were sensible, she would accept his gesture happily and marry him with joy.
But that was the old Rena.
Before that fateful Valentineâs Day, she would have never refused him when he presented the diamond ring for her ring finger.
Yet, now, although Waylen retained his charm, her feelings toward him had changed.
Rena contemplated declining, but the memory of their passionate encounter lingered, and she didnât voice her refusal.

Besides, she recalled that he hadnât used a condom in the heat of the moment.
Worried, she decided to purchase contraception herself.
She placed the ring back in the box and closed it.
After a moment of silence, she spoke up.
âIâm not in the safe period.
â
Waylen immediately understood her concern.
A flush crept up his handsome face, and he coughed awkwardly before responding.
âNo need to take birth control pills.
I didnât come inside youâ¦â
Rena remained concerned.
Although she wasnât particularly religious, she believed that if she were to become pregnant, it would be fate, and she would embrace it.
Clearly, Waylen didnât want her to take medication, so she would acquire it herself.
Gently, he pressed her, eventually succumbing to her wishes.
âIâll buy it for you.
â
Rena nodded gratefully and politely replied, âThank you.
â
Waylen chuckled, his frustration apparent.
While getting dressed, he pinched her chin and grumbled, âSometimes I feel like you deny yourself the pleasure you experience during s@x.
Youâre one way during the act and another way afterward.
