Page 29 of Rider Daddies
I forcefully shove Ryder aside, hands clamped at Lacey’s hips to lock in.
“Give up, you fucking cock.”
My heart thumps in my chest, arousalandanger beating through my veins. My head goes light, both emotions too strong for me to control.
I grab the discarded knife from the table and point it at Ryder. “Call me a cock again and I’ll draw one across your face.”
That’s when the front door bursts open.
Our argument fizzles out, interrupted by…fabulous.
Another intruder.
This man is much younger, skin still untouched by the sun. Though the way he strolls in has me second-guessing if heisindeed an intruder, since he seems to know where he’s going.
“Lucia?”
The fuck.
Lacey turns her neck as far as it will go, regarding the stranger. “Oh my god…Tristan?”
Cock-blocked by the ex.
That’s what they’ll be writing on my gravestone.

LUCIA
Mannaggia.
Trust my ex to enter and make me drier than the Sahara desert.
Want to abstain from sex forever? Tristan’s presence will do it. God, what a fucking bore. I never thought I would see thisbastardo’sface again, but the world has pulled the biggest Uno reverse and proved me wrong.
“What the hell…?”
I’m still restricted by the ropes so I can’t turn my face much more and see him, but his shaking voice tells me all I need to know.
“Oh my god…Lucia.” Cue the hyperventilating. “What is going on here?!” His pathetic voice climbs to borderline shrieking. “Get off her. Untie her this instant! What are you doing with that knife?”
I’m glad I don’t need to ask the brothers to lower my skirts. They do it for me as soon as he enters the room, which I’m grateful for. I don’t want this cheater anywhere near me.
“Lucia?!”
Keep repeating my real name, why don’t you?
“Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine,” I drawl.
“No you’re not.”
All I can do is sigh. Once again, he’s telling me how to feel. “Yes, I am. Go back to California.” I cut myself short, another thought springing to mind. “Wait a minute—how did you find me?”
“I tracked your live location using your phone.”
“My phone has been dead.”
