Page 86 of Breaking the Rules (Roaming Devils MC 1)

“I love you,” she said, tears in her eyes. “I just … I needed to say that.”

Buried inside her, he leaned forward to kiss her. His brain went into overload as she gave him rough, drugging kisses. Her arms came around him as her fingernails dug into his back. He shuddered and came, completely surrounded by his woman. He pressed his face against her neck as he lay there against her soft curves. Her breasts pillowed his chest while her pussy hugged him deep.

“I think you know I love you.” Ryker closed his eyes as he breathed her in. “I always have and I always will.”

She pressed her lips to his shoulder, smiling. “Does this mean I’m your old lady?”

He snorted and rolled to his side. “Where the fuck did that come from?”

“I’ve done some research.”

“The Roaming Devils don’t have old ladies.”

“Maybe not.” She rubbed her hand along the ripples of his stomach. “It’s kind of an offensive term too. I’m not old.”

He kissed the side of her head, pulling her closer. “You can call yourself whatever you want. I’m just going to call you mine.”

“We still need to talk about DC.”

He closed his eyes. “I don’t want you to go.”

“I know.” She propped her chin on his chest. “What am I going to do, though? None of the hospitals in Atlanta want me.”

“They want you.” He stared into her eyes. “But even if they don’t, you could get a job working at one of the free clinics. There are several around Atlanta. Or you could start your own.”

“When I get my license it’ll be in emergency medicine. You don’t really have your own practice with that.”

“You’ll figure out something, sweetheart. This city is too big and you’re too fucking good for them not to want you.” He kissed her temple. “Just try again.”

She pushed up from him. “I will. I take my boards in a few months. I guess it really depends on whether or not I pass.”

“You will.” He brushed his hand along her back. “You’re smart and amazing. You’re going to do perfectly fine.”

She smiled at him. “You’re biased, but I’ll take it.”

“Hey, I’m a former patient. I know how awesome you are.”

She leaned down to kiss him. “Can we have dinner together before you leave?”

“Of course.” He brushed her hair from her cheek. She was so damn beautiful. “And when we’re through, I’m going to fuck you again.”

“Mmm. I guess we need to hurry.” She stood and left the room.

Ryker couldn’t stop smiling. This was the life he wanted. Ella. The club. He couldn’t ask for anything more. There would be problems, but he was confident that they’d get through them together. Maybe in some weird twist of events, he and her father would make peace and learn to live with one another.

Standing, he decided to take it one day at a time. Ella brought out the best in everyone and if he and her father were meant to get along, she’d be the only reason why. He left the room to find her. He only had a few hours left before the vote. While he was nervous about the fate of his future with the club, he didn’t dwell on it. The club would always be there for him whether he led it or not.

“How many times do you think we can come before our order gets here?” She held up a take-out menu and her cell phone.

He grinned. “Make the call and we’ll find out.”
