Rick looked over at Aria, “You want me to meet your family?”
Aria nodded, “Yes. You are Ryland’s dad and part of his family. And now that we are going to be family, I think it’s important.”
Rick looked down at his plate and shook his head slowly, “I’m not great around people. I have tried and worked on it, but I still struggle.”
Ryland lifted one of his eyebrows, and Rick sighed, “I went to a few doctors to see if I was right. And I am. I’m on the spectrum. Highly functioning, but I’m on it. It’s why I have a hard time with people and looking them in the eye or even understanding some of the things they do and say. I never understood your mom. I couldn’t. And now I know why. I don’t want to ruin your Christmas holiday Aria. Thank you though.”
Aria shook her head, “You could never ruin it. My family isn’t a big one. I know my parents would love to meet you. My dad is a lot like you. He will be around people, but it’s not his favorite. It’s why he is a pilot. So he doesn’t have to talk to all the people. He gets to just fly them to where they want to go. That’s it. He likes solitude.”
Rick looked over at her, and Aria said, “Think about it. We would be happy with anything you choose, but we also want you there.”
Rick nodded and they finished eating and then Rick offered to take Raegan home.
She started yawning in the middle of dinner and Ryland watched her a few times as she tried to hide it.
Aria told him Raegan had been traveling and was exhausted. So, Rick had offered to take her home and Ryland had taken him up on his offer.
He looked over at Aria and she had one eyebrow lifted, “I could have gone home with Raegan you know.”
He shook his head, “Nope. I don’t want to sleep without you.”
Aria walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around her.
He started to move in a slow circle, as if they were dancing and Aria put her head on his chest.
Ryland felt his heart clench and he squeezed Aria’s waist slightly.
She looked up at him, her gorgeous hazel eyes more blue tonight.
“I love you Aria. Thank you for being mine. You are the best present I have ever gotten.”
She smiled, “You are mine.”
He lifted her into his arms and walked her down the hall to his room and put her on his bed and pulled her shirt over head.
She was wearing a pink bra today and he dropped to his knees in front of her.
“You are such a fucking goddess. I don’t deserve you.”
She cupped his face this time, “Yes you do.”
Then she leaned forward and kissed him and Ryland moaned as she dug her fingers into his scalp slightly.
“I need you. Naked and wet.”
Aria lifted her eyebrows, “Well, I’m not naked, but I am wet.”
He groaned and fumbled with the clasp of her bra until it gave and then he sucked one nipple and then the other into his mouth.
Then he kissed his way down her body and pulled her pants and panties off her legs before he buried his face between them.
She moaned this time as he licked up her core to her clit and sucked it into his mouth and flicked it with his tongue, before pushing a finger inside her core.
It clenched around his finger and she was still so tight, it was almost a fight to get his finger inside.
He sucked and flicked her clit over and over and then she came, crying out his name and Ryland shed his clothes in seconds.
He stood at the edge of the bed and pulled her legs apart and then shoved deep inside her.
