“Wasn’t that box at your other house?”
He took off the cover. “After Tabitha dove into it then her sister got nosy, I decided to bring it here. It belongs in Leigh’s room anyway.” He removed an envelope and stared at it.
I climbed out of the pool, squeezing the water out of my hair. Then I grabbed a towel from a chair, wrapped it around my naked body, and went over to him.
He handed me what felt like a card. “You open it.”
I gave it back to him. “This is something you have to do. It’s addressed to you.”
With shaky fingers, he pulled out the card then read silently.
I stood over him, waiting for him to react or say something, but all he did was set the card down, throw off his towel, and dive into the pool. He stayed under the water a little too long in my book.
Whatever was on that card had to be heavy. I couldn’t help but read it.
Happy Birthday to the hero in my life. You’ve always been there for me, and I want you to know I’m always here for you. My wish is for you to find that special girl by your next birthday. With all my love, Leigh.
Ryker finally surfaced, shaking the water off his head, then strutted out of the pool, naked, determined, and somewhat angered.
He swaggered up, his dick semi-hard, plucked the card from me, placed it on the table, then lifted me in his arms.
“When was your birthday?” My boobs bounced freely as he carried me into the house.
I thought we were going to his bedroom. Instead, I found myself on the cool leather couch in the family room. Once Ryker was seated beside me, I straddled him.
His hands cupped my breasts as his erection grew between us. His eyes brewed with love, lust, and something else I couldn’t quite figure out.
His chest was rising and falling, but his concentration was far away.
I started to probe him again, but I decided to let him work through whatever was bothering him. So I let him have his way with me as he brushed a thumb over my lip then dragged a finger down my neck until he was pinching one nipple then the other.
I sucked in a breath as I rocked my hips, wanting that blissful friction of his dick against my clit.
He tunneled his fingers into my wet hair, pulling me in until our lips were locked. His kiss was possessive, brutal in his delivery, yet soft in his execution. He tasted, took, moaned, and groaned like he needed me more than he needed anything ever in his life.
Emotion clogged my throat. I was so in love, I swore it was hard to breathe at times. I rocked faster against him, lust twisting low in my belly, love swirling around my heart. The mixture was explosive as I gripped the velvet flesh of his dick and guided him inside me.
I groaned loudly, as did he, not moving but watching him watch me. The look on his face was intense, raw, powerful, and blissfully painful. I’d never experienced such emotion before, not with anyone ever.
Tears filled his eyes. “I’ve found love.” His voice was raspy. “Leigh and my mom would be so fucking happy right now. But Leigh was wrong about one thing. Love doesn’t tame the beast inside me. It only makes him wild and hungry.”
I didn’t know if I should be scared or not, but his next move was all beast. He picked me up, and before I could process anything, we were on the floor in front of the fireplace, rolling around, me on top of him, him on top of me, kissing, nipping, sucking, and ending in our original position from the very first time.
“That’s it, baby. Suck me hard.”
“I love it when you talk dirty,” I barely said as I licked the tip of his cock before taking in all of him.
He flattened his tongue against my clit and licked and lapped until I was writhing. My body splintered as the orgasm surged, swirled, and consumed me until I was screaming his name.
He sucked hard one last time before adjusting himself and driving into me before I had a chance to take a breath.
He pumped hard and fast, making my breasts bounce. He crashed his mouth against mine. “I love you, Haven Hale. I fucking love you.”
I wrapped my legs around his waist as he grabbed my ass with one hand and anchored the other on the floor. He thrust into me once then twice before his eyes were rolling back in his head.
“You feel so fucking good.”
I squeezed around him, holding him in my grasp as I watched him ride out his release.
