CHAPTER6
ARIA
After Ryland kissed her in his kitchen, Rick excused himself and went out to the shop and Ryland’s eyes went hot.
Aria felt her core clench and Ryland fisted the shirt she was wearing in one of his hands.
“When you walked out here, wearing this? I wanted to rip it off you right then. But I would have had to hurt my dad if he saw you naked.”
“My clothes are still in the living room. I was glad that my crutches were in your room at least.”
He chuckled, “I didn’t want you wearing clothes. But you could at least walk around.”
She felt her cheeks heat and he brushed his thumb over her cheek again.
“You are so damn gorgeous and perfect to me beauty. I love you. I hope you know that.”
She blinked and he smiled, “I know. It’s so fast it’s not even funny, but I can’t help how I feel. The second I saw your eyes when you were sitting in your car, I knew that I would never be the same again. You changed me. Irrevocably. And I want to see what else can change. What else will. I want the world with you. To grow old with you. To fill this house with children. To watch your business grow and expand as more people find the hidden gem in their depths. I can’t wait for it all. And I want to be by your side while it happens.”
He got down on one knee and she covered her mouth, and he smiled, “I don’t have your ring. Not yet. I wanted you to have the choice. To design what you wanted to wear on your finger for the rest of our lives. It was too important to let me just choose. I need your help with it. Your expert opinion. Seeing as it will not leave your finger.”
She laughed slightly, “I have the perfect ring in mind. Have for a few years actually. But I have never made it. It was too special and not for just anyone. I knew if I had made it that I wouldn’t have wanted to sell it. So I always kept it a secret.”
Ryland smiled up at her, “There you go. I do want to buy all the material for it.”
She laughed again, “You are the sweetest. I love you too. Does this mean you are asking me to marry you?”
He shook his head and she looked at him with confusion, and he said, “I don’t need to ask, because I know you and I are meant to be. Your soul and mine are one. You are mine. As I am yours.’
She smiled and leaned down toward him, “I will marry you. As you said. You are mine. And I am only yours.”
He stood, lifting her in his arms as he brought her to his room.
“I want to do unspeakable things to your body. Knowing that you are going to wear my ring, and be mine forever? Damn Aria.”
She bit her lip and then leaned in to kiss him.
“You better claim me. I think it’s been too long. I think I’m forgetting who I belong to.”
He growled at her and her pussy flooded, “You never have to ask to be reminded. You will know. You will feel me every single day.”
She moaned into his mouth as he put her on the bed and true to his word, he tore the shirt right off her body.
He kissed her lips and then moved down to suck on each of her nipples, making them hard and wet.
Her clit throbbed between her thighs and she kept her thighs pressed together to give her some relief.
He shoved his pants down his legs and with both of his massive hands, he parted her legs and knelt between them, “Are you ready for me? For more claiming?”
She nodded, breathless. And he put his cock at her entrance and gently pushed inside.
She felt a small twinge of pain, but when he pushed inside her, it was only pleasure.
His cock hit something inside her that made her pussy clench and when he looked down at her, his eyes went hot and he started to thrust in and out of her, slow at first and then with a hitch of his hand, he lifted one of her legs to wrap around his hip and he started to thrust in earnest.
She clutched at the sheets and at his arm as he started to build her orgasm to a frenzy.
“Ryland!”
