As the clock’s hands tenderly reached for eight, Waylen gracefully piloted the golden Bentley Continental GT to a stately halt at the entrance of the apartment building where the Gordon family lived. The car’s engine purred into a gentle Lull, and with the softest of clicks, the door locks nestled into place.

Rena’s gaze lingered on him, the moon’s silver touch illuminating her features.

“Waylen, our relationship is developing too fast,” she whispered.

Waylen’s lips curved into a knowing smile, his eyes a sea of mysteries. “Is that so? But I haven’t done anything yet.”

A rosy hue graced Rena’s cheeks, the moonlight painting her with delicate strokes of color.

Although she was inexperienced in love, she understood what he meant. After appreciating her for a while, Waylen felt sorry for her and didn’t want to tease her too much.

With a deft touch, he released the seatbelt’s hold on Rena, his fingers brushing against her skin in a tantalizing caress. Her chestnut tresses cascaded Like a waterfall, framing her face like a portrait of moonlit elegance.

The interior of the car became an arena of emotions, an unspoken connection that hummed in the air.

Rena’s heart fluttered Like a caged bird, its song one of anticipation and uncertainty. She noticed that his eyes carried a desire that was unfamiliar to her.

In this charged atmosphere, Waylen leaned closer.

His voice carried a seductive allure, a melody woven with the secrets of the night.

“I want to kiss you.”

In that moment, Rena resembled a young, vulnerable creature, her gaze mirroring that of a baby animal.

Waylen’s own desires stirred, a smoldering fire within. He effortlessly enveloped her, his arms becoming a sanctuary.

Rena found herself adrift, uncertainty painting her features. Her delicate fingers hesitated in the air, unsure of their next move.

“Wrap your arms around my neck,“ he commanded, his voice a velvety whisper.

Trepidation held her captive at first, but Rena’s fingers found their place on his shoulders, a tentative touch.

Lowering her head, she avoided his intense gaze, her body betraying her nerves.

A kiss. A seemingly simple act, yet it ignited a storm of emotions within her. Her heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

Waylen’s grip on her waist was steady, his touch both possessive and gentle. He tipped her chin, their lips meeting in a slow, tender dance.

Lips brushed, exploring the uncharted territory of desire.

But then, Waylen’s hunger grew, his intentions shifting. Rena resisted, a whisper of protest against the encroaching unknown

Her head nestled against his shoulder, her fingers pressing against his hand.

“Don’t touch me,” she implored, her voice tinged with fragile resolve. Though her emotions ran deep, Rena’s clarity remained. They were new to each other, a connection blossoming amidst the delicate petals of affection. To her, their shared embraces and kisses held a world of their own, needing no further exploration.

A fragile sigh escaped her Lips, the delicate notes tinged with sorrow Tears welled in her eyes, emotions brimming to the surface.

Waylen’s own turmoil subsided, sanity reclaiming its throne.

He was being irrational.

In his heart, Rena was his wife and they had had countless intimate encounters. But he realized the chasm between them, a gap only time could bridge. To the 20-year-old Rena in front of him, he was an enigma, yet still a stranger in some ways.

His gaze Lingered on the girl nestled against him, her dress a cascade of fabric revealing both vulnerability and allure.

In this poignant moment, Waylen’s heart softened.

With deliberate care, he restored her attire, button by button, a gesture Laden with tenderness.

His lips brushed against her skin, a whisper against her face. “Please don’t cry,” he entreated, his words a balm to her emotions.

“I won’t overstep.”

Rena longed to distance herself, but Waylen’s grasp held her firm. His actions were both protective and possessive, a dichotomy she struggled to navigate.

With a fluid grace, he retrieved a cigarette, a veil of smoke curling around his fingers.

“I don’t want to be exposed to second-hand smoke,” said Rena in disgust.

Her distaste was palpable, her boldness manifesting as she took the cigarette from his lips. But handling it proved an amusing challenge She looked adorable.

Waylen’s Laughter resonated, a melody of amusement. Reclaiming the cigarette, he leaned in once more, the smoke a wisp of connection between them.

“Only half,” he promised, a vow entwined with fragrant tendrils of tobacco.

Silence settled like a comforting blanket, Rena nestled in Waylen’s embrace.

His warmth permeated her senses through his shirt, a fusion of intimacy and familiarity.

The faint aroma of tobacco lingered, a reminder of their shared moments.

Waylen rolled down half of the window.

His fingers danced along Rena’s hair, a tender touch against the canvas of night. He loved her, but this affection was a little different from that for Rena in reality.

After all, she was only 20 years old in this dream.

Waylen took a deliberate drag from the cigarette, the ember casting a fleeting glow in the dark. With the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, he extinguished it with a purposeful tap. “Do you Like me?” He inquired, his gaze now directed downward.

Rena clung to her silence, steadfastly refusing to voice her feelings. How could she dare to speak such vulnerable words?

Waylen respected her decision, his arms cocooning her within their reassuring embrace. Kisses rained down upon her, a symphony of affection that seemed to bridge their worlds. A gentle pat on her backside signaled their impending departure. “Go back now. Mr. Gordon might be worried.”

Rena nodded in agreement, her heart fluttering with a mixture of reluctance and anticipation.

With a tender touch, Waylen straightened her dress, his words tinged with emotion. “Don’t hide our relationship,” he entreated, his earnest plea painting a blush across Rena’s cheeks.

Exiting the car with haste, Rena quickly darted into the embrace of the waiting elevator.

As the engine hummed in solitude, Waylen’s gaze remained Locked on her receding figure. His own impatience gnawed at him.

Days had stretched on, brimming with a yearning to bridge the chasm between them.

A connection had sparked swiftly between them, yet his task remained unfinished. According to Mindy’s words, Waylen must suffer for Rena in this dream so that he could take her back to reality.

Until now, he wasn’t close to finding the opportunity to complete his task.

This made him a little anxious.

A new cigarette found its way into Waylen’s hand, the tip igniting with an incandescent glow.

He inhaled deeply, thoughts swirling as he mulled over their complex situation. Intent on departing, Waylen’s gaze caught sight of a commotion ahead. Figures materialized from the darkness, two familiar faces Locked in an intense argument.
