RyanThe dahlias were a refreshing sight after working in the garden all morning. Their soft blush pink petals seemed to glow in the afternoon sunlight. I was satisfied as I clipped off a finished bloom, thinking of how the flowers had persevered despite the recent cold snap.Amy popped into my mind, her blonde hair and warm smile as bright as the dahlias. I felt my cheeks grow warm at the thought of her. Clearing my throat, I pushed the image aside and gathered my tools to head inside.After scrubbing the dirt from my hands and arms, I hurried upstairs to shower and change. As the hot spray soaked into my sore muscles, my thoughts drifted back to Amy. It had been a week since the harrowing trip to the hospital. I recalled her ashen face and the deep worry lines that framed her mouth as the doctors described her motherโs condition.I walked to the bedroom with a towel around my lower body to plug my phone into the charger, the brochures I had reviewed yesterday after my extensive resea

Amy"Do you want me to punch him in his throat? You know I took some karate when I was ten," Mara huffed as she sped towards her house.We had just wrapped up a cup of coffee at our favorite cafe, and I spilled the beans about everything that had unfolded since the moment Ryan and I kissed until I called Mara to pick me up. She was upset but not entirely surprised; after all, Ryan and I were both 'lobsters'โwhatever that meant."Mara," I cautioned, aware that she wasn't the violent type, but her frustration could lead to some impulsive actions, like following Ryan and slashing his tires.My jaw clenched as I tried to keep my breath steady and my eyes dry. I didn't want to reveal how much Ryan going on a date after our kiss at the carnival last week affected me. The kiss that had ignited a spark in me was now drowned with a deluge of disappointment.And he didn't even have the decency to tell me. I overheard it when Caleb and Ryan were talking. Here I was, contemplating discussing the k

RyanMy body came alive as I felt her skin on mine. Itโs like a live wire sparkling and dancing. Fuck! Thoughts in my mind were a chaotic swirl, making it impossible to make sense of anything.The thumping music and kaleidoscope lights of Vengeance faded away as we departed from the club, leaving me with a singular focusโAmy on my shoulder, her soft form pressed against me, her tempting ass close to my face, and the rhythmic drumming of her fists on my back.โPut me down,โ Amy demanded, her body squirming in my grasp.I tightened my grip on her hip as I held her in the firemanโs carry. โStop moving before I pinch this sexy ass.โ My threat emerged through gritted teeth.โDonโt you dare,โ she shot back, squirming once more and delivering punches to my back that felt like a fucking massage on my back.My mind popped up, an image of her massaging me sitting on my back of course both of us are naked. My already hardened cock responded with a twitch.โPut me down, Ryan, or I swear.....โHer

AmyI should be running to the hills, but here I am, spread wide on Ryanโs soft bed. The red flags are waving furiouslyโhis obnoxious and rude behavior, and recent date with another womanโyet my brain waves goodbye to rationality.Yes, I danced with another guy, but this... this connection with Ryan feels like heโs sizzling playing with my body, soul, and spirit. Nerves and excitement course through me.I stared up at him as he gazed down at me and I tried not to have a stroke. He stands there, a formidable force, resembling a God of malice and mating. The dimly lit room enhances his dangerous aura. The room itself is virile, lacking any touch of softness, but right now, my focus is solely on the man before me.โOpen your legs, baby. Take off your panties, but leave everything else on,โ he commands, his voice a low, commanding rumble.His eyes darkened, a storm brewing within them, filled with an unmistakable hunger that sent a shiver down my spine.โDon't make me repeat myself!โ he gr

RyanWith my eyes half-closed and my mind still clouded with sleep, I reached for my incessantly ringing phone on the nightstand. The sudden glare of the screen made me groan in annoyance.โWhat now?โ I grumbled, answering the call.โDid I just wake up the great under-the-wire asshole who made me rise at seven in the morning for a meeting he didnโt bother showing up to?โ Markโs voice came through, laced with sarcasm.โFuck, was that today?โ I muttered, rubbing my eyes and trying to muster some alertness. โIโll be there in a few minutes.โโA few minutes? It is already 11 am, dude. Are you okay?โ Mark said.โWhat?โ I exclaimed, the fog of sleep lifting abruptly. โDamn it. I overslept.โโAre you still the punctual Mr. I-am-never-late, or did aliens swap you out for a newer model?โ Mark started chuckling while I got up, trying not to be annoyed at his stupid voice first thing in the morning.โCut the crap,โ I retorted, ending the call and ignoring his amusement.Running my hand through my

AmyโGood job, buddy,โ I smiled and patted Liamโs back. โDo you want some juice after you are done with the amazing tower?โLiamโs brow furrowed as he looked at the enormous tower he made of Legos. He looked so cute, all concentrated on his task. He looked just like.....โLiam,โ I called out a bit more firmly, hoping to draw him out of his Lego world.โHmm?โ he hummed, placing the block man on the tower, still ignoring me.โLiam,โ I pouted. โAre you still angry at me?โโNo, I am not,โ he said in a snippy tone.โNo?โ I arched an eyebrow playfully, attempting to hide my amusement. โDoes that mean we can go grab some juice now?โLiam scowled and crossed his arms defiantly. โNo juice. Iโm not talking to you. Iโm mad.โMy expression shifted to one of mock shock. โBut you just said youโre not angry with me,โ I teased, trying to suppress a laugh. I knew I shouldnโt laugh, but he was so cute.Liam huffed again, but I couldnโt hold back any longer. Rising from the sofa, I enveloped him in a hug

RyanโOkay, so weโve resolved all these bugs?โ I leaned forward, addressing my team with a hint of urgency in my voice. The beta phase of our project was nearing its end, and there was no room for errors.โYes, sir,โ Mr. Martin confirmed, his brow glistening with a sheen of sweat. Most of the team, including Paula, our project lead, had been tirelessly working to iron out the kinks. โWeโve also made significant progress on the client reports and deliverables. Weโll be fully prepared for the launch.โโKeep me updated.โ I nodded, acknowledging their efforts, before concluding the presentation.โMr. Crawford,โ Caine interrupted, sliding a stack of documents across the table. โThese require your signature.โHe turned the pages as I took a cursory reading and signed them absentmindedly.

Amy โHello,โ I said as I picked up Ryanโs call. It was a rare occurrence for him to contact me directly from his office, so I couldnโt help but feel confused. โHello, Amy,โ his deep, husky voice sent a shiver down my spine, and I quickly composed myself. โMr. Crawford. What can I do for you?โ I responded, my tone professional despite the slight flutter in my chest. Our recent encounter on the gazebo lingered in my mind, a reminder of the unspoken tension between us. He mumbled something, barely audible, prompting me to request, โHmm.. I am sorry I did not get that. Can you repeat it, please?โ โNothing,โ he sighed, his tone heavy with an unspoken weight. โCan you do something for me?โ Considering Liamโs impending school pickup, I proposed a delay. โHmm... Alright, but I have to pick up Liam in an hour. Can it wait until then?โ I asked, multitasking as I organized Liamโs lesson plan for the week. Liamโs insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge always kept me on my toes. โJim

RyanI let out a frustrated huff, my irritation rising as it became clear they were dragging this out on purpose. โJust get us home. Liam is sleeping,โ I bit out, my teeth clenched to prevent any further outbursts.โRyan,โ Amyโs voice was soft but firm, gently cradling the sleeping Liam in her lap. โWatch your language.โโSorry,โ I murmured, shooting a warning glance at my brother through the rear-view mirror.The scoundrel merely smirked. โWhy the rush, oh mighty winner?โ he taunted, prompting a chuckle from Mark.โDo you need a fu-ducking,โ making a sorry face at a glaring Amy and then looking back at my stupid brother, โdissertation on why my child should not sleep in the back seat of your car?โ I snapped.โNah,โ Mark chimed in, turning his attention back to Amy. โHey, beautiful, care to join me for dinner? I...โโDrive us home, or rest assured Iโll provide your squeeze of the month with your home address, personal phone number, and a few choice tidbits she could use against you. An

AmyโWake up, buddy,โ I whispered in Liamโs ear, my fingers tracing gentle circles on his back. He grunted, sinking deeper into his blankets, and I couldnโt help but smile.โCome on, baby,โ I coaxed, leaning closer. โWe have to be at school today.โHe stirred, his eyelids fluttering open reluctantly. โBut itโs Saturday,โ he whined, his voice still heavy with sleep.โBut Mrs. Perryโs note says you have to be there,โ I murmured, brushing a lock of unruly hair from his forehead.That got his attention. His eyes widened as he sat up, rubbing the sleep from them. โBut I donโtโฆ I canโt.โโWhy not, baby?โ I asked, feigning innocence.โBecauseโฆ because...โ His lower lip jutted out in a pout, and he clutched his left leg dramatically. โMy owie hurts, and my leg hurts too.โI wanted to pull his cheek so hard. Suppressing a laugh, I mirrored his expression. โOh, thatโs bad,โ I said, my voice dripping with mock concern. โI thought you, Daddy, and I could have some fun in the competition. But since

RyanSinking into the plush leather chair of my home office, frustration and concern swirled in my mind like a tempest. Calebโs impulsive act gnawed at my thoughtsโfuck what reckless demon had possessed him? And how would Amy react to his stupid move?All I wanted to do was talk to Amy and show her...A firm knock on the door snapped me out of my reverie, and as I glanced up, there stood Amy, her demeanor tentative, lips caught between her teeth.โHmm.. Mr. Crawford...โ she began, but I cut her off.โLet me stop you there, Amy,โ I said, rising from my chair and stuffing my hands into my pockets. โIโm sorry for what Caleb did. He had no right to pull that stunt. Iโll talk to him about it.โAmyโs eyes widened fractionally, but she remained silent, her expression inscrutable. Pressing on, I continued, my voice heavy with remorse. โAnd as for the competition, you neednโt feel obligated to participate. Iโll speak with Ms. Perry and sort things out with Liam.
