My stomach does somersaults at the thought of Ryder introducing me to the lifestyle. I know I should just come out and tell him that I’m serious and want to try, but he seems so against it, and I don’t know why.
When we’re done for the night, Ryder drives us to my place so I can grab some clothes. “I’ll park and come in with you.”
“Don’t be silly. I’ll be five minutes. Just wait here, and I will be quick. I promise.”
“Really? Or are you going to say five and be back in fifteen?”
I lean over and kiss him. “I’ll be back in ten.” He smiles against my lips.
“If you’re going to kiss me, I’m going to come up there and fuck you seven ways till Sunday.”
“As delicious as that sounds, my roommate is home.But, when we get to your place, I might take you up on the offer.”
“That’s a given. I don’t even know why you need clothes. I plan on you being naked all night, tied to my bed, and screaming my name.” It’s amazing we ever get anything done. I want him, every minute of every day.
“Promises, promises, Sir.”
“Seriously, if you need stuff, you better get out of the car right now because my dick is hard as a rock and all out of patience. I fucking want you, baby girl.”
I kiss him once more before jumping out of the car and hurrying inside to the elevator.
I can hear Jude singing as I approach our apartment. I told her I wouldn’t be home tonight, so I guess she’s enjoying having the place to herself.
“Hey, girl,” I say as I step inside. She just about jumps out of her skin.
“Holy fuck! You scared the crap out of me. I thought you weren’t coming home.”
“Is that why you were strangling a cat? That’s what the noise was, right?”
She shoves my shoulder. “Very funny. Why are you here?”
“Just grabbing some clothes and my makeup.”
“When am I going to meet the man himself?”
“Soon. I’m still just feeling it out right now.”
“That’s the fun part.” She runs her hands up and down her body. “All thefeeling.”
“You know what I mean!” She follows me down the hallway to my room.
“Have you told him yet?”
“No. And I don’t need your opinion on that.” She holds her hands up as I grab my overnight bag and start throwing things in it.
“I said nothing.”
“I thought you’d be riding a Tinder hookup already.”
“The night is young,” she says with a wicked grin.
When I finish packing, I hug her. “Call me if you need me. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.”
“I can work within those vast parameters.”
“Yeah. Yeah. I’m off to fuck my boyfriend all night long.”
“Boyfriend?”
