Chapter 26

One Month Later

Cheyanne

It wasadmin day at the office, which meant we had no meetings or calls. Technically, Chandler didn't have to come in today, but he wanted to get caught up on some things. I'd decided to start school online next fall to give myself time to adjust to my new relationship and schedule at work, plus working alongside Saveth to build her art collection. I tried to wait until I was done with school, but she wanted my expertise now, which meant a hell of a lot to me.

With my new schedule, I had a day out of the week that I devoted to art, while the remaining four days were spent at the office. Two days were full days, and the others were half days, in preparation for when I'd start school. Chandler and I had a strict no working on weekends rule, and for him, the weekend started on Friday. His golf days were almost religious at this point, and now, Papa went with him along with my future father-in-law.

Having a genuine relationship with his parents was a blessing. It felt like a second chance to have a mom and dad since mine weren't around. I loved that Janet and Marcus were intentional with making sure I knew they were my parents and that they wouldn't automatically side with their son if we came to them with issues. I honestly didn't see that happening often, because Chandler and I were good at communicating our issues, but it felt good to know they'd have my back.

As I went through the last of the files for the day, my curiosity piqued at the sight of one with CTJ written on it. I didn't want to assume Chandler had written that for Cheyanne Taylor Jones, but that's what my intuition told me. When I opened the file, I had to sit because my knees wobbled. It was a title and deed, in his name and mine, for an island.

A Caribbean Island in the Bahamas.

The more I read, the more I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The forty-five-million-dollar island was four hundred and thirty acres. It was mostly beaches with elevations and a natural harbor. There was space for a golf course and marina that it had already been approved for.

It could be used as a resort because it had five one-bedroom beachfront villas already built with wraparound decks, along with a main house that had three bedrooms. There was also a building that operated as a welcome center, along with a spa and gym. In the center of the villas was a restaurant and bar plus a small convenience store. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect.

My legs and hands shook as I left my office and went to his. Amy asked me was I okay, and all I could do was nod. I barged into his office, not bothering to knock like I usually would. There was a smile on his face as he talked on the phone, but at the sight of my tears, he frowned and immediately ended the call.

Chandler stood and charged in my direction.

"Who did it?" he asked, ready to take on the world for me, like always.

"You," I muttered with a smile, wiping my eyes. "I don't think I was supposed to find this but…" I handed him the file, and his body relaxed when realization settled in.

"Yeah, this was supposed to be a surprise. I'm finalizing things with the caretaker, and I wanted to get the place fully staffed before I took you there and told you."

For a while, all I could do was stare at him. He stood there, casually talking about the island he'd bought me like it was nothing.

"You bought me an island?"

Chandler shrugged with a nod. "Yeah. You like water and islands, so I figured I'd get you one."

Sniffling, I gritted my teeth, trying to keep my tears from falling.

"You can use it for personal use, or we can turn it into a resort and just keep the main villa for us. Or you if you don't want to share." He chuckled and licked his lips. "It's yours to do with as you please."

"You bought me an island." My head shook and heart grew light. "Thank you, babe. That certainly doesn't seem good enough. I have to find a better way to thank you."

"Those words are thanks enough. I didn't do this for anything other than your happiness in return. I know you're used to relying only on your papa, but you're my responsibility now. I take great pleasure in taking care of and spoiling you."

"Babe," I cooed, wrapping my arms around his neck. "What did I do to deserve you?"

The soft chuckle he released hit the center of my heart and filled it with warmth. "You let me in."

Our eyes remained locked before I turned and locked his door, then led him over to his desk.

"What you doing?" he asked with a cocky smile as I pushed him down into his chair.

"About to please my man."

"Is that right?"

"Mhm. Can I?"

"You know you never have to ask."

I got on my knees in front of him and pulled his shaft out of his pants. Because he kept an extra suit at the office, I didn't bother pulling his pants down all the way. I gave him a hand job first, loving the sight of his clenched stomach, jerking muscles, and relaxed expressions. When he came, I licked it up before taking him into my mouth, and that alone had him on the verge of cumming again. Chandler held back, tapping the back of my throat a few times before lifting me by my arm and sitting me on his lap.

"You tryna make me get loud in here?" he asked, causing me to laugh as he lifted my skirt and pushed my panties to the side.

"You're the boss… remember?"

"You're absolutely right. I don't want you holding back on me, all right?"

I nodded my agreement as I slid down on him, moaning quietly from the satisfaction of us being one. I knew this would be a quickie and that I needed to make the most of it, so I took him in and rode him slow.

"You always get extra wet when you suck my dick. You like that shit, huh?"

My toes curled and back arched as he lowered the front of my dress and took one nipple in his mouth while playing with the other.

"Yesss, I love having you in my mouth, babe."

Releasing a sizzling breath, I gripped the back of his neck and hummed as I felt that pressure building in my core.

"It's okay, baby. You don't have to be quiet," he assured me before smacking my ass. The impact caused me to moan as I rocked against him. "Let everybody in here know who you belong to."

His hand wrapped around my waist, and he used it to increase my speed and drop me down harder on him.

"Chandler!"

"Mhm. What's my name?"

I wrapped my arms around him and held him close, held him tight, as I came. "Chandler!"

"Mm… that's it, baby. Cum all over your dick."

My whimpers mixed with the sound of his moans as he came as well. Having sex only intensified my feelings. Before I could stop them, more tears started to fall.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked, wiping my face.

Laughing quietly, I shook my head and sniffled. "No. I'm just… really happy, Chandler. Like… I've never been this happy in my life. I love you so much."

He kissed my tears away before kissing my lips. "I love you too. And trust me when I say, this is literally just the beginning for us."
