A heavy sigh leaves me as I work it over in my mind. “It went good. You won Dad over...” I hesitate, trying to figure out how to continue.
“But not your mom?” he questions, frowning.
I shake my head. “She likes you, and she wants me happy—that’s not it. It’s just, she's worried. Mom saw how much pain I was in after Emily pulled her twisted little game. She doesn’t want me hurt again.”
Ryder holds me tighter, sliding me ever so slightly against his leg and God… That feels so good. I press my lips against his, squeezing my body as close to him as I can get.
“Fuck. I wish I hadn't been so blind. I can't imagine what got into Emily. That's so fucking twisted that it's beyond my scope of understanding.”
“I understand it a little. Emily did it because she discovered I had harbored feelings for you for years. She said she didn't care and understood, but obviously she didn't. I guess, in a way, I deserved it.”
“The fuck you did. You didn't do one damn thing to her to justify the shit she dished out. I'm the idiot that remained faithful to her when she didn't even know what being faithful was,” he growls. “She played me for a fool, and I kept coming back for more because I was so anxious to build a life like my parents did before I started my career.”
“I should've told you what Emily was doing...” My gut twists as I recall how badly I wanted to, but I couldn't betray my friend.
“You should have, but I was still a fool. When she contacted me after graduation and told me she missed me, I listened—even knowing how she did me. We talked about the future she still wanted with me, and I was the fool who wrote the letter giving in, asking her to meet me that night. The letter she gave to you. I swear if it didn't mean having to deal with her again, I'd hunt her down and call her on her shit.”
“It's not worth it. I'd just as soon never see or deal with her ever again,” I tell him pointedly.
He nods, smiling. “See? That’s just another sign we’re meant to be together. We’re in complete agreement on that. What I need from you is to stop worrying. The two of us are going to build a beautiful life together.”
“We are?" I ask in surprise. I can't get used to hearing him say these things. I still expect to wake up to find it was all a magnificent dream.
“Definitely, Buttons. One day I will finally convince you of that. I think tonight I will try by reminding you of just how much you love my cock.”
His words send fissures of heat zinging through me at the speed of light, making me tremble slightly.
“I could probably use another reminder,” I practically purr, letting my hunger for him bleed through my voice.
My entire body hums with excitement. The insides of my thighs are already wet from the mere thoughts of what he might do to me. Ryder is kissing me before the words are entirely out of my mouth. Possessing my lips in a kiss that feels like it just might ruin me for every other kiss that comes after. Shivers run down my spine as his hands go to my hips.
He sucks on my bottom lip as he pulls away so slowly that it is almost as if time has come to a standstill. My ragged breathing echoes around me as Ryder uses his hold on my hips to flip me around on my stomach.
Butterflies explode in my stomach. The need to have him inside me takes over. There's no conscious thought, just hot breath, desire, and skin against skin as he positions behind me. I let out a small mewling noise, needing him so much that I’m freaking panting. I want him inside me filling me… stretching me. I want him so deep inside of me that I’m unable to tell where he ends and I begin.
My ass pushes out against him, his cock pressing against my ass as he leans over me. I hold my breath, waiting to see what happens next. Then, I feel his lips kiss along my spine as he brings one hand back to my hip, squeezing it. I gasp as I feel his fingers sliding through the sticky wetness of my pussy, searching out my clit.
“My girl is so wet tonight. Do you need fucked, Buttons?” he growls, somewhere close to my ear.
“Yes,” I huff out on a breath, my heart beating so hard I feel it hammering against my chest.
I can feel two of his fingers rubbing against me, pressing hard on my clit and I release a guttural cry of pleasure as my body spasms. Jesus, I don’t think I’ve ever been turned on this much before.
