Approaching him with a sense of helplessness, Rena spoke, âYou and Dad make quite the team.
My uncle nearly drank himself to the brim.
â
Waylen glanced at her, smiling playfully.
âAre you worried about him?â
He pinched her cheek affectionately and added, âI wonât permit you to fret over him, even if he is your uncle.

Knowing Waylenâs tendency for jealousy, especially when it came to men, Rena chose not to argue.
Instead, she motioned for him to get in the car.
âLetâs head back.
Lexi will spend the night here and weâll pick her up tomorrow evening.

Wrapping his arms around her slender waist, Waylen whispered, âThatâs what my parents suggested.
They want us to have a night to ourselves.
Rena, shall we try for a baby tonight?â
Rena was left momentarily speechless.
Despite the driver being present, Waylen remained flirtatious.
âShe murmured, âWaylen, youâve had a few too many drinks.

Undeterred, he guided her into the car, yet his mischievous behavior continued even after getting inside.
He gently traced her ankle along the curve of her legs, tenderly caressing her heelsâ¦
Renaâs heart fluttered.
In the dimly lit car, their breaths intermingled, surrounded by his unmistakable air of pure masculinity.
She perceived he had made a move on her.
But, after a considerable time had passed, he just leaned against her shoulder and softly inquired, âWere you frightened the last time you drove?â
Given her old injury, it was possible that braking could have been challenging and led to an accidentâ¦
Even now, after so many days, Waylen still felt a trace of fear.
Renaâs heart melted.
