Relief wooshes through me at what Ryker just said.
“Would you be okay with that? The two of us only seeing each other?” I ask.
“Yeah.” He says it without blinking, like he’s completely comfortable with it.
“So we’re still friends with benefits, we just don’t see anyone else,” I say.
“I’m good with that if you are.”
I take in the expectant look on his face, how confident he sounds. He wants this just as much as I do.
“I’m good with it too,” I say.
His mouth slants up, then he grips my chin and kisses me.
My heart beats a new rhythm. Giddy and happy and blissed out.
I think about how I shouldn’t be doing this…how this feels one step closer to the relationship I said I didn’t want.
An alarm bell goes off in my head, warning me about the last time I was exclusive with someone.
You committed to Sergei, and look what happened. You got cheated on and humiliated. Don’t put yourself through that again.
But then a warm feeling swoops through me, quieting the doubt.
Ryker would never treat me like that. I know he wouldn’t.
He teases my mouth open with his tongue. He laps and sucks until I’m dizzy.
This isn’t a relationship. It’s just two friends taking things to the next level.
If I weren’t so turned on right now, the logical part of my brain would call me out. But I don’t want to listen. I just want to savor this moment—this moment where Ryker feels like mine.
I run my fingers through his hair, moaning into his mouth. He kisses me hard, his tongue lingering, leaving me breathless. It feels like he’s staking his claim on my lips—on me.
All my thoughts and worries melt away.
Between my legs, I start to ache. His hands fall to my waist and slide up my shirt. He peels it off and tosses it to the side.
He breaks our kiss and puts his mouth on my nipple. I whimper at the way his tongue gently teases the hard bud.
My head falls back.
“Now that we’re exclusive friends with benefits, I’m making a new rule,” Ryker growls.
“What’s that?” I rasp.
“I get to have my way with you when you’re traveling with the team.”
My eyelids flutter as I smile. He moves his mouth to my other nipple and works it between his lips and tongue. I shiver and gasp.
He runs his palm down my stomach, pressing between my legs. I gasp again.
“Fuck, you’re so wet already,” he growls.
