“I love it. I love everything you do to me.” She pants heavily.
“That’s because this ass is mine, isn’t that right?” I ask before laying down another hard slap to her tender flesh.
“Yes, yours, always.” She whimpers, pushing back for more.
I growl and undo my pants, freeing my cock. “That’s right, baby, and one day, I’m going to fuck this ass. I’m going to take you where no one has before. I’m going to invade every inch of this body of yours so you never forget who it belongs to.” I lay down two more smacks, one to each cheek before reaching under and slapping her pussy, right over her clit.
“Oh god, Ryder!” As soon as her orgasm hits, I slam inside of her, right into fucking paradise. She screams again at the invasion, her pussy clenching and fluttering around me, griping me like a tight vise.
“Ah fuck, you’re perfect, baby.” I swear I’ve never felt anything as good as her. I still and grip her hips firmly. “You still good, Em?”
“God, yes, don’t stop.”
I let go and fuck her without abandon. I pound into her relentlessly, fucking her harder than I have fucked anyone in my entire life. Her screams and cries fueling me, making me feel like a fucking animal.
I lean back and watch my cock plunge in and out of her. “Fuck, your pussy is so greedy for me, baby.” Knowing I’m not going to last long, I change my angle, stroking her sweet spot.
“Oh god, oh god, oh god.”
I agree and I would tell her so, if my dick weren’t bathed in tight, hot perfection right now.
It isn’t long before her inner walls clamp down on me. “Fuck yes!” I growl before falling over the edge with her, coming harder than I ever have before.
As soon as I pull out of her she drops down on her stomach. I lean over and kiss her soft, slender back. “Are you good, Em?” I ask worriedly. When she doesn’t respond, my panic escalates. “Em, baby, answer me, are you okay?”
“Can you give a girl a minute? I was just screwed within an inch of my life, sorry if I’m having a hard time speaking at the moment,” she mumbles into the blankets.
I smirk, taking her sass as an indication she’s okay. Standing up, I shed myself of my pants then head into her bathroom and start the shower. I walk back to the bed then pick Emily up, cradling her in my arms.
“What are you doing?” she mumbles, her eyes closed.
“Taking you into the shower, baby.”
“No shower, only sleep.”
I grin. “Shower first, then sleep.”
“I hate it when you’re bossy.”
I chuckle and ignore her grumpiness then step into the shower, under the hot spray. I put her down in front of me, keeping my arms locked around her body so she can stay upright. She leans back, slack against me, and considering her eyes are still closed, I decide to wash her. I watch the soap run down her beautiful body, loving every fucking moment of it, and I’m shocked as shit when my cock turns semi hard again.
“Don’t even think about it, Jameson.”
I chuckle and kiss her wet cheek. “Don’t worry, baby, I’ll collect later.”
I feel her smile and I finish washing her quickly, but don’t bother with her hair. I need to get her back to bed for both our sakes. Shutting off the water, I drape a towel around my waist then quickly dry her off before wrapping one around her. I carry her back to the bed then lay her down under the covers before climbing in next to her. The same time I reach for her, she’s already moving in to snuggle against me. She places a kiss over my beating heart then lays her cheek against it. I drag my fingers along her back, soaking in her warmth and scent. This is my favorite place to be in the entire world, it was six years ago and it still is.
Before I can think better of it, I whisper the words I’ve been terrified to tell her: “I love you, Em.” My heart jackhammers in my chest as I wait for her response. When she doesn’t answer, I rise up slightly to glance at her face and see she’s sound asleep. “You’ve got to be shitting me.” I expel a disbelieving chuckle. I pull her closer and kiss the top of her head. There’s always tomorrow and every day after that, hopefully. With that thought, it isn’t long before I follow her into a peaceful slumber.
Chapter 20
Ryder
The next day we’re driving to Rosa’s in comfortable silence. I glance over at Emily in the passenger seat when I feel the weight of her gaze on me. A small smile graces her face as she watches me deep in thought.
“Everything okay, baby?”
“I like that after all these years I get to see what you look like.” She shrugs. “Or anyone for that matter, but especially you. I used to try so hard to picture what you looked like.”
Reaching over, I grab her soft hand in mine and link our fingers together. “Am I how you pictured?”
Her expression turns thoughtful. “I think so. It’s hard to say. When I think back to how Cece described you and I look at you now, then yes, you match the description. But even all those years ago it was hard for me to picture you, because I wasn’t sure if what I remembered was accurate. But when I touch you and look at you, then you also look how I pictured.” She shrugs and gives me a sexy smile. “Either way, I knew you were hot, Jameson, and you definitely lived up to it.”
“You’re the sexy one, Em,” I respond with a smirk before bringing her hand to my mouth and kissing the inside of her delicate wrist.
“Do I look the same as I did back then?” she asks softly. “I haven’t had a chance to look at pictures of myself, and, to be honest, I doubt my parents took many.”
“Yeah, baby, you pretty much look the same. You were the most beautiful girl in the world back then and you still are.”
She smiles softly at the compliment. “What constitutes as beautiful though, and what doesn’t? I mean, for me, I always saw people for who they were on the inside, I saw… I don’t know, their souls? Take Kyle for example.” My blood instantly heats at the mention of the arrogant prick. “If you saw him from a distance and only judged him on his looks you could consider him attractive.” I grunt. “I said attractive, Jameson, not sexy.” She chuckles. “But I know him, I know what he looks like on the inside and he’s ugly. The same rule applies to you, except the opposite. Yes, I knew you were physically attractive because of how you were described and what all the girls always said when they talked about you, and yes, you are sexy, but what makes you beautiful is your soul.”
Something shifts in my chest at her words, just like it always does when she says shit like this to me. “That’s what I’m saying, Em. That’s what made you better than everyone else. Don’t get me wrong, on looks alone you still exceeded any other girl in that school, but it was your insight, baby, that set you apart from the rest. When I told you, all those years ago, that you saw me far better than anyone else I meant that. Yeah, those bitches thought I was attractive, but they also saw me as trash. You could have believed the rumors about me being dangerous and stayed away, but you didn’t.”
I hear her seatbelt unlatch and sense her sit up before she reaches over the seat and wraps her arms around my neck. Her sweet scent penetrates my senses as she kisses along my jaw, bringing her mouth to my ear. “I never saw you as trash, Ryder. I saw you as a boy who fought against the world because the odds were stacked against him. And for someone who was supposed to be dangerous, you are the only person I’ve ever felt safe with. You stepped in to save me that day when you could have kept walking. A lot of people would have, they wouldn’t have wanted to take the chance of getting reprimanded by Kyle or his father. But you didn’t care – you helped me. No matter what anyone said, I knew you, and I knew the boy I fell in love with. I also knew the man you would become. A man of integrity.”
I pull into Rosa’s driveway at the last of her words. Putting the vehicle in park, I haul her over the console to straddle me then frame her face and take her mouth in a hot, fucking kiss. I inhale her sweetness and let it flow through my veins, allowing it to wash away all the taint of where I come from. It was always like that with her. When we were together all those years ago it was easy to forget the reasons of why we weren’t right for each other. With Em and me it was always nothing but the best, and it still is.
