Ryley's Revenge (Gloves Off #2)(49)
TERRY HAD MADE a lasagna and put it in the oven before she and Danny left. It was closing in on seven o’clock and Ryley still hadn’t said one word to me. I didn’t know how long he planned on staying outside, but I wasn’t going to let him do it alone. Taking a deep breath, I quietly walked down the patio stairs and tiptoed across the walkway to his garage.
When I peered through the doorway, Ryley was seated on his weight bench with his head in his hands. In that moment, my heart tore wide open. Men really were from Mars—they handled things so much different than women. However, I didn’t want him to shut me out. Maybe that wasn’t what he was doing, but I needed him.
His body glistened with sweat and his hair was drenched. It didn’t stop me from running my hands down his arms and getting to my knees in front of him.
“What are you doing out here?” he asked. Lifting his head, he stared down at me, his eyes tired.
“You’ve been out here all day. I’ve missed you.”
Sighing, he looked down at his wrapped hands. “I’m trying, angel. Every time I close my eyes or my mind wanders, I can see him touching you. It’s driving me in-f*cking-sane.”
I flipped his hand over and gently started undoing the tape. “I know this is hard for you, but don’t let your desire for vengeance come between us. I’m here and I’ll give you your space, but don’t forget that I need you too.”
Once I had his hands free, he touched the side of my head and stroked my temple with his thumb. “I’m sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?”
With a sly smile, I licked my lips and ran my hands over his groin. His cock jumped at my touch. “If you want to stay in here all day and work yourself ragged, that’s fine. Do what you have to do to get ready for the fight. But once that sun disappears, I want you to spend the energy you have left with me. Make love to me, f*ck me, do whatever the hell you want. I just want you to be with me.”
Eyes darkening, he gripped my arms and lifted me to my feet. He wasted no time in ripping off my pants and tearing off my shirt, then getting to his feet and doing the same with his own. Once he sat back down on the weight bench, he grabbed my ass and made me sit on his lap, his dick nestled between my legs.
“I don’t think you know what you’re asking of me, angel. I’m pissed off and angry, but I’m also f*cking turned on. It’s a lethal combination and the last thing I want to do is hurt or scare you.”
“Oh, I don’t know . . . I think I’m ready for what you got,” I teased, playfully squeezing the bulging tip of his cock.
Jerking into my hand, he tilted my body back and roughly closed his lips over a nipple, sucking hard. The stubble on his chin started to rub me raw. When he bit down, I cried out and rocked my hips against his length.
His fingers dug into my hips as he lifted me up and slammed me down. Once he was fully seated within me, he lifted me up and pushed me down onto him over and over. My movements weren’t my own. I was in his control and I f*cking loved it. Even with me on top, he dominated and took what he wanted. Fisting his hands in my hair, he tilted my head back and bit my neck, marking me.
“Oh, yes. Ryley . . .”
His low rumble of satisfaction vibrated down to my core. I was so close to orgasm I could barely think straight. Over and over he dropped me down on his cock with punishing force. He licked and sucked my nipples, pulling them with his teeth. Wrapping an arm around his neck, I arched my back to give him better access. Reaching behind my ass, I cupped his balls, massaging them.
“Holy f*ck, I’m going to come,” he growled, shortening his thrusts. Grunting, he pulled my body into his and dropped his head down to watch where we were connected.
Screaming with pleasure, I sat down on him as far as I could go and pressed down on his taint with my finger. He groaned and squeezed me tight, but I kept my finger pushing down on him as I rode wave after wave of my release. It all intensified when I felt him blast inside of me. I loved the feel of his cock pulsating. Catching my breath, I let my head fall to his shoulder while his fingers loosened on my waist.
“Now that’s what I’m talking about,” I marveled.
Brushing my hair to the side, he gently kissed my neck and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Just remember, angel. You asked for it. Every day at sundown, I’m going to find you and take you in any way I please. There’s no turning back.”
I pulled his bottom lip between my teeth and moaned. “I’m counting on it.”
Five Days Later
TOMORROW RYLEY WOULD fight his brother. None of us knew if Camden was aware I had gone to the hospital after the incident, or that I was definitely pregnant with his brother’s twins. He’d disappeared without a trace. I half expected him to show up at the cabin, but nothing—no sign from him or any of his friends.
I could smell the approaching rain and thunder rumbled in the distance. The sky over the mountains began to fill up with gray clouds. This time, I wouldn’t be alone during the storm. When I left to go to Aspen, I dreaded the rain. It brought back too many memories. Now, I welcomed it.
“What’s wrong?” Ryley asked, sitting down beside me. Brows furrowed, he watched me cautiously as he handed me a cup of hot chocolate. Even though it wasn’t cold outside, I craved the chocolaty goodness.
