His words make my heart ache, my stomach flutter, everything you hear about from those shitty romcoms. And it’s those feelings that make me do what I do next.

  Leaning forward I pressed a soft kiss on his lips, making his whole body tense up in shock. The shock only lasts a second before he leans in and kisses me back.

  Our kiss quickly turned from soft and unsure to deep and passionate. Ryder wraps his arm around me to hold me tight as he kisses me like he can’t believe this is happening, like he can’t get enough or stop.

  When we pull back from the kiss, Ryder looks at me as if one wrong move and I’ll disappear. “Jessi,” he whispers as he cups my other cheek. “Is this what you want?”

  “I don’t know what I want,” I say honestly. He nods slowly and goes to remove his hands from my face, but I grab his wrists to keep them in place. His brow furrows slightly, so I explain. “I don’t know what I want because this is new to me. I’ve been alone for a long time, trying to navigate through this shitty world with no one there for me. Then when I thought I finally found someone who would be, my hope was shattered.”

  I’m baring myself to him because at this point there’s no use trying to hide the truth. He doesn’t say anything while I pour it all out, all my fears and thoughts, in his lap. He just sits there soaking up every word.

  “Ryder my first priority is my son. Anyone who’s in my life is also in his, but they will always come second to his needs. I can’t expect you to be the male figure in his life when you have other priorities. I know the club is important, and I don’t want to be a problem for them with my issues.” I continue to ramble on and on.

  My words get cut off as Ryder pulls me into another kiss. I immediately melt into it, all the worries that have been building up wash away.

  “I’m not going anywhere Angel. You may not know what you want but I sure as fuck do. You and Danny have become a part of me these past several months. You fought against my walls, breaking them down even when you didn’t know it.” He holds my hands, rubbing his thumbs across my knuckles. “And that little demon of yours,” he says with a smile, making me chuckle while my eyes water. “He’s amazing, smart, strong, all because of you. Because you’re a kickass mom. He’s wedged his way into my world, and I’ll do anything to keep him smiling and happy.”

  “He is amazing. I want him to have all the love and protection he could possibly have. My son deserves more than I ever had.” I whispered that last part.

  “And he will Jessi. I can tell you with complete confidence that he is loved by many. The club thinks he’s awesome, my family adores him. He’s got you, Lucy, and me.”

  My heart squeezes at his every word, my head spins, and my body floods with warmth. We’ll say it’s from the alcohol. Ryder wipes my tears as he stares into my eyes. It’s like he’s trying to communicate everything he’s feeling through them. It should scare me, the thought of letting someone in. I’m hesitant, but not as much as I would be if it were anyone else.

  I lean forward, resting my forehead against his. “I don’t want Danny knowing about us. At least not right now. I don’t want him hurt if things don’t work. And I don’t want him caught up in something that’ll put him in danger.” My voice shakes at the thought.

  “Does that mean you’ll stay?”

  Fear fills me at the thought of staying and not leaving the threat of Zeke behind. But I can’t let go of the feeling that I belong here. Danny belongs here. This place, this town, it’s home.

  “Okay,” I whispered. “I’ll stay.”

  He doesn’t waste a second, crashing his lips to mine. Moving and devouring like he has starved for it for years. My hands run through his dark hair as I move to straddle his lap. His hands grip my hips like I’ll run away.

  “Ryder,” I moan as his lips move down to my neck. My breath quickens as he licks, sucks, and bites me.

  My hips begin rocking of their own accord, my body lost in the pleasure and want of this moment. He hardens underneath me and my pussy clenches with need of wanting to feel him.

  “Hang on tight sweetheart.”

  “What—” I squeal as Ryder stands up, lifting me with him and wrapping my legs around him. He carries me up the cellar stairs, through the main dining room, not stopping when we get to the main stairs.

  Now, I know I’m not a feather. I am not one of those stick figures who prance around in heels and look like I’m one wind blow away from disappearing. But fuck, the strength on him is amazing. He doesn’t even break a sweat carrying me all the way to my room.

  Once we get there, he slams the door shut with his foot and walks us over to the bed, tossing me onto it once we were close enough. I lift up and rest on my elbows, only to be met with a heated stare in Ryder’s lust filled eyes.

  “I’m only going to ask you one more time Angel,” he says, striding slowly to the side of the bed. When he stops next to my right side, he balls his fists as if to prevent himself from reaching for me. “Is this what you want? Because once I start, I’m not sure I can stop.”

  I don’t hesitate as I reach out to grab his hand, pulling him onto the bed with me. My lips cover his, opening for him to let his tongue dance with mine.

  When I pull back to look into his eyes, I whisper, “I would think that’s enough of an answer. Or do you need another?”

  He answers with another hard kiss. His hands grip my hips once more as he rolls me completely on my back. That godly muscled body hovers over me. He bites my lower lip earning a groan in return. “I’m not going to be gentle,” he says.

  “Good,” I respond as I grind underneath him. “I’ve never been the fragile type.”

  He growls at the friction, grabbing at the waistband of my biking shorts that I quickly threw on this morning. “I need these off. Now.” He doesn’t even wait for my response before yanking them down along with my panties. He’s met with my bare pussy, and I thank everything in this moment that I decided to go with Shadow to get a laser hair removal treatment yesterday morning.

  “Fucking hell Angel,” he grumbles out. “Beautiful fucking pussy.”

  I get even wetter under his stare. He licks his lips like a starved man, meeting my eyes as if silently asking for permission. The minute I nod, he wastes no time pulling me to the edge of the bed and kneeling in front of me.

  His lips move in slow agonizing kisses up and down my inner thigh, skipping over my core and moving to the other side. The movements pure torture. “Ugh Ryder, don’t fucking tease me,” I groan impatiently as I grip his hair.

  He grabs my wrists, pinning them to the side. “Don’t touch. Don’t make a move.”

  Every instinct that would normally have me telling him to go fuck himself completely left me and all I could do was submit to his dominance.

  “Do you understand me?” He growled at me before nipping at my inner thigh, making me squeal in response.

  “Yes,” I said in a high-pitched whisper.

  The intense pleasure from his tongue running up my slit the first time had me gripping the sheets as I willed my hands to stay put. “Good girl,” he says as his tongue worked in a way that had me breathing heavier and arching off the bed.

  “Oh fuck, Ryder.” My moans filling the empty room were like music to his ears. He licked and sucked my clit with more hunger and determination. Within minutes I began to feel that tightness in my lower belly, the slight shake in my legs. “Ugh yes. Fuck, fuck, fuck.” My hips lift from the bed as I grind my pussy against his tongue for that perfect friction.

  He slides a finger in my drenched pussy, and that movement alone had me starting to clench. “Oh Ryder, yes! Like that. Oh God don’t stop, please, please don’t.”

  “Never,” he mumbles.

  When he enters another finger, I start to see stars. “Oh fuck, I’m gonna come. OH SHIT!”

  Ryder moves his fingers faster, curling them just right to rub my special spot. “That’s it baby. Come for me, give me all of it.” That sends me over the edge, and I cry out. The orgasm taking over all my senses.

  Ryder

  This woman is incredible. Every man’s wet dream. I nearly jizzed my pants like a damn teenager from how hard she came on my tongue and fingers. Just from that I knew I became addicted to her, wanting to see her fall apart again and again. I can’t get enough, I need more.

  Jessi breathes hard, like she just ran a marathon. “That…was…amazing.” She says the words between breaths.

  I kiss up her body, slowly taking off her tanktop. Jesus, she has the best fucking tits. I grope them, squeezing them as I lick and suck her pebbled nipples. She arches her back when I bite and pull on one, her groans spurring me on to do it again.

  “Who knew you like it rough,” I say with a chuckle, moving on to the other nipple.

  “Who ever said I li—Ah fuck!” Her cries cut her off. “Liked it soft?” she manages to finish saying.

  “Good point,” I say.

  “These need to come off.” She starts to pull up my shirt, taking it off and throwing it across the room. Her hands quickly move to undo my belt, pop open my jeans and shove them down with my boxers. My cock stands proud and fully at attention. God I’ve never been so hard in my fucking life.

  Jessi’s eyes widen as she takes in the sight. “Everything okay there Angel?” I smirk. I know I’m bigger than average, and the look she’s giving me only builds my ego.

  The heat in her eyes darkens, her tongue licking her lips like she’s about to feast. She reaches out and begins stroking my member, spreading the pre-cum over the tip with her thumb. “I knew you’d be big. But Jesus fuck, not this huge. I don’t know how you’ll fit in me.”

  “It’ll fit. And you’re going to love it.”

  “Guess I better get it wet huh?” She bites her lip. Before I can respond, she’s leaning forward, licking the tip. That was enough to nearly cause my knees to buckle.

  The heat from her mouth as her lips surrounded my cock had me grabbing the back of her head. She pulled deep groans from me when she started doing short tight suctions.

  Her hand pumped the section that wasn’t in her mouth. Each time she bobbed her head she took more of my cock little by little. When she finally got me as deep as she could in her throat, I expected her to gag like most chicks do. She didn’t. She held me in place, drool leaking out the sides of her mouth and down her chin.

  Fucking hell, who is this woman. She’s perfect.

  She pulls back off my cock only to go back down pulling me deep again. On the fifth time I about lost my load when I felt her throat do a swallow movement and tighten even more around me.

  I pulled out of her mouth and crawled over her. “Fuck no, I’m gonna come down that throat another time.” I cupped her mound. “Right now, I need this around me.” Reaching down to the floor, I grabbed a condom from my jeans. “Get on your hands and knees,” I demanded as I sheathed myself. She did so without hesitation.

  That’s my girl.

  Kneeling behind her I rub my tip against her dripping center. She’s definitely ready. I push the head in slowly, holding it there. “Oh God,” she groaned, pushing back against me in an attempt to get more of my shaft in her.

  “You’re so fucking tight.” I pushed another inch. “I don’t think I can hold back.” And another.

  She looks over her shoulder. “Then don’t. Give it to me. All of it.”

  My last thread of control vanished, and I pounded one hard thrust into her tight heat. “Oh FUCK!” She screamed. Partially from the pain as she stretches to accommodate me, but mainly from the pleasure it’s bringing her.

  I pounded a few long hard thrusts, keeping a steady pace. Jessi met each of my movements with her own, moaning and pleading for more.

  “Oh yes, Reaper.”

  My thrusts halt immediately. I pulled out, smacking her ass before flipping her over onto her back. “What—” her question cut off when I hover over her and grip her throat.

  “Don’t,” I growled. “Don’t you ever call out that name. I am not him when I’m with you.” I let go of her throat and thrust hard into her. “In this moment,” another hard thrust, “I’m me. Ryder.”

  She nodded. “Yes, Ryder, yes.” I let her reach up and pull me down to meet her lips with mine. My pace starts up again, keeping my movements long and hard. Jessi’s head tips back, breaking our kiss as she moans. “More, Ryder. Please, more.”

  My hips begin to move faster. “Is this what you want?” She nods, crying out incoherent words. Her pussy begins to clench, her fingers grip my hair tightly. She’s close.

  I double my efforts, making sure I rub that spot that makes her go wild. That sensation at the base of my spine builds faster than I expected. I reach between us and rub her clit in time with my thrusts, needing her near the edge.

  Leaning down to her ear I groan. “Come for me Angel. Now.”

  “Fuck. Yes, yes, yes. Oh shit I’m gonna co—” Her pussy convulses rapidly, her body shakes from head to toe.

  “Oh SHIT!” I pound one, two, three times before I fall over the edge after her and I completely drain myself into the condom. I thrust two more times before my body collapsed on Jessi’s spent one. Both of us breathing hard trying to catch our breath.

  I roll over onto the bed next to her. “Well, that was…”

  “Yeah,” she says with a smile. “So, we get to repeat that right?”

  I chuckled. “Give me ten minutes and I’ll give you one hell of an encore.”

  I gave her two.

  Chapter 27

  Jessi

  After that morning with Ryder, I felt like I was walking on air. We would spend as much time as possible together in between work and him doing things for the club.

  On my days off he would spend it with me and Danny. When I have to work, he would escort me to the bar by following me on his bike. Then there was that one time, okay three times, when we just couldn’t resist each other and ended up fucking like animals on his desk in the office.

  A couple of months after our first night together, I told Ryder I was ready to tell Danny about us. He said it was up to me when I felt the time was right. Which brings me to this morning as I sat with Danny on the couch during his morning cartoons, trying to decide how to bring it up.

  Danny was curled up with Duke, who was now more than half of Danny’s size, as Tom was in the middle of planning another attempt to catch Jerry on the TV. Figuring I should just roll with it, I rest my hand on his shoulder as I speak up. “Hey buddy, can I talk to you for a minute?”

  He takes his attention off the TV and nods.

  “I want to talk to you about something serious.”

  Danny’s expression turns nervous. “Am I in trouble?”

  That confuses me. “Why would you think that you’re in trouble?”

  He looks guiltily at the floor. “I took an Oreo from the jar without asking when I was supposed to go to bed the other night.”

  I had to bite my lip in order to not laugh at that. Danny never does things like this, no doubt he learned these little sneaky tricks from Ryder and Hawk. Probably the wonder twins, Blue and Liv, as well. It’s cute and I can’t be mad, though I know I have to act like it just a little. “Well, that was wrong, wasn’t it?”

  He doesn’t look up at me as he nods. “Yes, Mommy.”

  “And what are you going to do next the time you want a cookie?”

  He finally looks up to me. “I would ask if I can have one.”

  I nod. “That’s right. And if I say no, what should you do?”

  Danny bites his lip as he thinks about his answer. “Ask Nana because she won’t say no.”

  This kid! I grabbed him and set him on my lap as I immediately began to tickle him. “What? Ask Nana? You little gremlin.” My laughter joins his as he rolls and thrashes in my lap to get away. “No, you wait until the next day to ask when it’s not bedtime.”

  “Okay…okay…Mommy.” His words come out in between giggles.

  I stop the tickles and let our breathing fall back to normal. When I’m finally able to speak, I move Danny from my lap and back to the seat next to me so I can look at him face to face.

  “Actually buddy, I wanted to talk to you about Ryder.” My son’s eyes light up at hearing Ryder’s name. “Well, you know how he and I have been hanging out together a lot lately and how he comes to spend time with you too?”

  “Yeah. I like it when he comes over and when we go over to the clubhouse.” He smiles wide.

  “Me too buddy. So, Ryder and I have been talking about hanging out more…like dating.”

  I sat there and watched as Danny processed my words. “You mean like best friends?”

  “Kind of. But also, a little more than friends.” I watched his little face go from processing to confusion. “Okay, you know how we watched that movie Tangled, and how Flynn and Rapunzel got really close on their adventure and at the end of the movie they were together as more than friends?” He nods slowly. “That’s what me and Ryder would be like.”

  “You mean he’ll be your boyfriend, Mommy?”

  My eyebrows shot up. “Where did you hear that?”

  Danny shrugs. “When Blue and Liv were here the other night when I took the cookie. I heard them talking about someone wanting to be Liv’s boyfriend.”

  Well, that’s some fun info to tease her with later. But now is not the time. “Okay, cookie monster. No more Oreos after bedtime, got it?” I hold my pinky out.

  He hooks his with mine. “Got it.”

  I hug him gently against my side. “But yes, he’ll be my boyfriend. Are you okay with that?”

  Danny stays quiet again, watching the cartoons with a far-off look. When he finally spoke my heart nearly broke.

  “But what if we have to leave this place too?” His words come out so quietly I would have missed it if I weren’t sitting next to him.

  “Is that what you’re really afraid of?” He nods. I lift his chin to look into those eyes that mirror my own. “Danny, I love this place just as much as you do. I don’t plan on leaving it either. I promise I’ll do whatever I can to make sure we’re staying, okay.”
