“I didn’t doubt you, just didn’t want to get my hopes up.” Part of me still wondered if the whole thing wasn’t some fluke, that maybe Ryker was just being extra flirty but wouldn’t come through in the end. I’ve been disappointed a lot in the past by the lack of follow through with guys, and even though I felt what he was saying was true, I still can’t quite wrap my head around it.
Ryker’s smile falters a bit as he stares at me. “Well, get your hopes up as high as you want darlin’ because I am never going to let you down,” he vows. His eyes are intense and I can see the promise in them, I just hope that my mind can catch up with my heart soon because he already owns it. He has since last night.
“Okay,” I breathe out, my eyes flicking to his lips. Ryker smirks and starts to lean down, but a throat clearing behind us has him stopping halfway.
“Do you guys need anything else?” Georgie asks, a grin on her face.
Leaning around Ryker’s large frame, I glare at my bestie and current cockblocker. “Yeah, a little privacy would be nice.” Georgie just giggles and waves her fingers as she leaves and shuts the door behind her. I suppose her giving me a hard time is fair since I complain every time I catch her and my brother making out, but still.
“Alone at last,” Ryker says as he starts to lean down again, only for us to get interrupted again, this time by my stomach making loud, decidedly unsexy noises. He pulls back and barks a laugh. “How about I let you get a taste of what I brought you for lunch, then maybe I’ll get a little taste of you?” He winks as he sits down in my chair and pulls me into his lap.
My body squirms as I try to get up. “I’m too heavy,” I protest, but Ryker’s hands on my hips stills me and the fierce look in his eyes has me shutting my mouth.
“I’m going to say this now and any other time you need to hear it,” Ryker says as he pulls my back closer to his front and leans down near my ear. “This body, this sexy as fuck, beautiful, gorgeous body was made for me.”
His hands squeeze my hips before traveling up to my waist and over my stomach, gliding down until he’s skimming the tops of my thighs, leaving a trail of fiery need in their wake. He massages my legs and I moan, both from how good it feels and just how turned on I am by both his words and his actions.
“I’m a big man, Firecracker, and I need a woman who can handle everything I have to offer.” With that, he bucks his hips lightly into my backside and I feel his hard cock pressing against my core.
A small gasp followed by a long sigh is the only reply I have at the moment, too turned on to say or do much else. As if he can sense this, Ryker brushes his nose against the shell of my ear. “You need a little something, darlin’?” He asks, his voice low as he continues to rub my legs, his hands sliding up more towards my center.
“Yes, please. I need it.” The words come out like I’m begging, but I don’t care. I will beg this man to take me apart without giving a single care to whether or not he ever puts me back together.
“Come here,” he says, cupping my cheek and tilting my head to the side. Ryker’s eyes blaze with heat, and after searching mine for a moment, he finally smiles before slashing his mouth over mine for our first kiss.
First of many, I think to myself as he devours my mouth in the most passionate kiss I have ever had in my life. There haven’t been many, but each one fades further and further into the background the more our lips move against one another.
Ryker licks my bottom lip and I groan, opening up for him only to feel his tongue driving its way into my mouth as it seeks mine. Our lips and tongues mingle and dance together as we kiss, and before I know it, I feel his free hand unbuttoning my jeans and sliding the zipper down.
He breaks the kiss momentarily, searching my face for any sign of distress. My hand covers his and I push it down into my cotton panties. “More,” I plead before I dip his fingers into my wet heat, groaning at how good it feels to have his rough hands on my most sensitive parts.
“Whatever you need, Firecracker. I’ll always give it to you,” he promises before diving back down to kiss me again. Ryker’s tongue drives into my mouth again at the same time his fingers drive into my core. I whimper against his mouth and buck myhips against his hand, loving the friction and sparks of pleasure that are rippling through my body.
Ryker moves his thumb up to my clit and starts rubbing, and I feel my body tensing in preparation for the most wonderful release I will have ever experienced. God, I love him so much.Love?!Yea, love. I love this man already. He’s so attentive to me and doesn’t back down when I challenge him, but he doesn’t push me around either.
I finally understand what all those books I was reading mean when they talk about having a partner, someone who compliments and completes you. Thinking of how much I’m feeling for him already and the amazing feel of his hands on me has me coming already. I don’t even get a chance to warn him before I’m crying out, Ryker swallowing it down with his mouth over mine.
When I’ve come down enough to come back to myself, I see that Ryker has pulled his hand free and is licking his fingers like I am tastier than The Colonel’s mix of special herbs and spices.
“Goddamn, Firecracker,” he says, brushing his lips lightly against mine before zipping and buttoning my pants for me. “You look stunning when your creaming all over my fingers, and you taste sweeter than any dessert I’ve ever had.” I hum lightly in reply, still a little too blissed out and a bit sleepy to form words at the moment.
Ryker chuckles and kisses me one more time before pulling the brown bag over towards up and opening it up for me. “Now, I don’t know all your favorites yet, but I don’t know a single person on God’s green Earth who can resist fried chicken and waffles.”
As Ryker pulls out two containers and opens them, the smell of the chicken and sweet batter waffles has me perking up and sitting up in my seat. The movement pulls a groan fromRyker and I can still feel how hard he is beneath me. I wiggle my ass a little again on purpose and look over at him with a smirk. “Didn’t you want a hand with that?”
Ryker shoots me a dark look before stilling my hips with his hands. “You know I do darlin’, but today is about you. I can wait.”
“What if I can’t?” I raise a brow in question and I see his resolution falter for only a second before he’s shaking his head. My lower lip shoots out in a pout, but Ryker simple chuckles and tucks it back in with his finger.
“Put that pout away, Firecracker.” He scoops up a bite of food and brings it to my mouth. I moan when the warm, salty chicken combines with the sweet, syrupy waffle hits my tongue.
Ryker smiles and leans in to me again. “See, that right there is exactly why we’re waiting. I need you moaning as loud as you can next time we’re together, and I need to be able to scream your name so that everyone knows who I belong to.”
Swallowing my lunch, I release a shuddering breath as I look at this crazy, intense, sexy, sweet man. “I would like that,” I confess. Hearing Ryker shout my name as he comes is something I didn’t even know I wanted until he mentioned it.
“Good,” he says, kissing me again, but only briefly. “Now, why don’t you tell me all about what you do at the ranch and everything else about you? I want to know it all.”
With a smile and a nod, I tell him everything he wants to know and then some. It feels good to have someone to talk to as freely as I do Georgie, and I love finally having a man in my life to do it with.
