Chapter Nineteen
Renée clung to him not wanting to let go. She didn't want to think of their future. It seemed too scary. She would take one day at a time with Sawyer, making memories with him to last a lifetime. The rest she would leave for God but irrespective of what destiny had in store for her, Sawyer would be the only one she'd ever love.
"Sawyer?" She mumbled into his hot neck.
"Hmm?" He asked, his voice rumbling low from deep within his throat. She could feel the vibrations clearly with her face embedded into his neck.
"I'm scared," she told him, a shudder going down her body. It was easy to make big resolutions but at seventeen, the thought of being separated from the only one you ever loved was reason enough to be scared.
He raised her face to meet his. "Don't be scared, love. I'm with you, am I not?" He comforted her.
"Kiss the fears away, Sawyer, please, " she whispered, her eyes falling upon his plump, kissable lips. They looked so inviting that she couldn't control the urge to get another taste of them. Sawyer's face brightened up, his eyes shone with excitement but darkened immediately like magic, as he smiled at her request.
"I was waiting for you to ask me that," he grinned, hovering against her lips. Without waiting for an answer, he dipped his head and crashed his lips to hers while his hand cupped her head to control the kiss. The kiss branded his name on every cell of her body, telling her how he owned her body, her heart, mind and soul.
A soft moan escaped her mouth and her fingers tangled into his hair, feeling their silky-smooth softness. This was a moment to die for. She opened her mouth eagerly to him. Sawyer groaned with need, pulling her closer to his warm body as his tongue hungrily pushed it's way into her mouth. Renée's skin cracked with a strange need, not wanting this kiss to ever stop. The way he played with her tongue and tasted every corner of her mouth, Renée could feel herself want more and more of him. She kissed him back, trying to dominate the kiss from thereon. A deep, low throaty moan escaped from Sawyer's mouth. It pleased her immensely that she could elicit such a response from him.
At last they pulled apart for breath, staring at one another with utter astonishment. What was that? It was more than a kiss. It was a memory that they made tonight of their second kiss under the starlit sky of Montana.
"I love you," he whispered , resting his forehead against hers.
"I love you too," she whispered back. Both of them smiled like teenagers secretly in love although Renée was still one. It was a giddy feeling they felt with sense of happiness coupled with the fear of the unforeseeable future.
"Let's go to sleep? It's getting colder," said Sawyer, getting up and pulling her with him.
Renée smiled and walked inside with him but froze seeing Ryder standing near the corridor with a bottle of water in his hand. He gaped at the two of them with his mouth hanging open. Then realization struck and he looked mad with fury. He strode towards Sawyer and pushed him with barely suppressed anger.
"What the f*ck are you doing with my sister?" He growled in a low voice, looking mad.
"Ryder, stop. I love him," Renée whispered not wanting to wake up the whole house. Ryder gaped at her.
"What? Are you crazy? How can you love your brother?" Asked Ryder, his eyes narrowing with disbelief.
"Sawyer isn't related to me by blood like you are. How is he my brother?" Asked Renée. Sawyer stood frozen watching them with horror.
Ryder shook his head at her. "I can't believe this," he said with a look of disapproval on his face.
Sawyer came to his senses. "We love one another very much Ryde. Please understand, it's not a temporary fling or something. Our love is for life and I intend to convince our parents when Ren turns eighteen. I want to marry her," said Sawyer, with a solemn look on his face as he clutched onto Renée's hand. Renée on the other hand had tears in her eyes which spilled out and cascaded down her cheeks.
"We'll die without one another, bro please," she whispered as more tears fell from her eyes. Ryder softened and hugged her.
"Don't cry Renée. I get it now. It'll take sometime to seep in though, " he smiled.
"Dude, don't hurt her please," said Ryder. Sawyer placed a hand over his heart.
"I will never hurt her, I promise, " he pledged solemnly.
Later Renée went to her room while Ryder and Sawyer went to Ryder's room to talk. Renée felt a strange relief at Ryder's acceptance of her relationship. So with two members of her family already accepting her relationship with Sawyer, she found hope that maybe the others would too.
The next morning, Renée went to the dining room for breakfast. The whole family was there as it was a lazy weekend. Her uncle Kevin was speaking to Rhett about the progress at their hotel. It seemed that things weren't going so well and they needed an investor. Rhett and uncle Kennedy would extend their stay while Rex would return home to help them with the work.
Ryan whisked Renée away to the front porch, sitting down to talk. "Ryder told me that you and Sawyer are in love with one another. Is it true?" He asked, fiddling with his mobile phone awkwardly. It was an odd topic and he hadn't believed Ryder when he told him last night.
"Yes, we love one another and we're planning to convince our family when I turn eighteen, " she told him. Ryan nodded.
"Yes, Ryder told me," he said. "I don't have any problem with your relationship with Saw. He's the best guy for you since no one will ever care for you as much as he does but I have one concern. Please don't go overboard and get pregnant. That'll ruin your chances of winning our family over," he said with a grin. Renée blushed to the roots of her hair.
"Are you crazy? We haven't reached that stage yet and we won't until marriage, " she told him with a horrified expression.
Ryan grinned more. "That's good. I'm just looking out for you," he shrugged. Renée smiled shyly.
"Yeah, I know. Thanks a lot for being so understanding, Ryan. It means a lot to me," she told him. He placed a hand around her shoulders tenderly.
"I'm glad that you found such a genuine life partner. In fact even Ryder's fallen for Anastasia, it seems," he said with a wry smile on his face.
"What about you Ryan?" She asked. Ryan released ger shoulders and his face became grim.
"There's no one in my life," he shrugged.
"Did you find out about Chestnut?" Asked Renée.
"Yes, it was Georgia's brother, Greg, " he told her, his eyes clouding at the mention of her name.
"Do you like Georgia, Ryan?" She asked him. Ryan gave her a strange look.
"Please can we stop discussing her?" He said, getting up with a crazy look on his face. It seemed as if he was running away from something or maybe someone.
Afterwards Sawyer and Rihanna came to join them and they talked some more. "Saw, you're so pathetic. Weren't you supposed to take Renée out a few days back?" Asked Rihanna. Sawyer's eyes widened as he remembered their so called date. He scratched his head looking guilty.
"Yeah, I will," he promised. Renée blushed and just prayed that he wouldn't ask her out in front of them. Thankfully he didn't.
Later Sawyer went to supervise at the dairy farm and Renée went to Anastasia's house to learn a new dish from granny Daisy. When she returned home, Sawyer had just come in. He winked at her discreetly making her blush. Happy with her reaction to him, Sawyer went to his room to freshen up. As Renée walked towards her room, his door opened and his hand shot out and pulled her inside just as he had done before.
He locked his door after her. "What happened?" Asked a wide eyed Renée. Sawyer grinned and picked her up, with his hands on her hips, wrapping her legs around his torso. He carried her to the bed and sat down at the edge with her straddled on his lap.
"Sawyer, what are we doing? Ryan said that if I get pregnant now, our family would never agree," she whispered with horror. Sawyer laughed.
"Don't worry my love. You won't get pregnant just by sitting on my lap," he whispered back, his kouth going to her neck to suck a sensitive spot there. Renée arched her head, exposing her neck more for his hot mouth and tongue to work it's magic upon it. Her whole body throbbed with a crazy desire, a desire to have more of him.
"I want you, so much," he whispered, against her throat. His burning lips trailed along her jawline, peppering kisses all along till it reached her lips, claiming them passionately. Renée responded with equal fervor as she fisted her fingers into his hair and pulled, unable to control the strange throbbing that started deep within her. Her kiss made Sawyer moan and deepen the kiss with wild abandon. Both surrendered to one another in the throes of passion, deepening the kiss to a new level altogether.
At last they pulled away breathing hard. "I missed you so much today. This was all I dreamed about the whole day," said Sawyer.
