*Ryder*
I froze the moment her soft, pink lips brushed against mine, every fiber of my being screaming to take over and kiss her deeply.
“Bella, what are you doing?” I gasped, still in shock. Her sweet, fruity breath mixed with hints of vodka and gin stirred my senses, leaving me intoxicated by her kiss alone.
“I want you, Ryder,” she whispered, looking up at me through hooded eyes. It hit me then—she was still drunk, not in her right mind.
“Baby girl, you’re not thinking clearly,” I said gently, forcing myself to stay calm. “Sleep for a while, and you’ll feel better.”
Carefully, I peeled her arms from around my neck and straightened up, but before I could step away, she caught my hand.
“It feels so hot everywhere. Please… touch me,” she pleaded, trying to pull me closer again.
Confused, I glanced at her flushed face, noticing the way she writhed on my bed, her parted lips releasing soft, sensual moans. It sent a jolt through me—a potent mix of desire and alarm. My mind raced, trying to make sense of her behavior. Then it hit me—her drink must have been spiked, and the effects were now taking hold.
My heart pounded in my chest, my instincts and thoughts clashing violently. The sight of her, so innocent yet so intoxicating, tested every ounce of my restraint. Before I could lose control, I swiftly scooped her up in my arms and carried her straight to the bathroom.
Turning on the cold shower, I let the water cascade over her, hoping it would snap her out of this feverish state. She gasped, shivering under the spray, but the fire in her eyes only burned brighter. My eyes grew wide with surprise as she hastily removed her blouse, revealing her full round breasts. Before I could react, she grabbed my collar, drew me closer, pressing her soft breasts against my firm chest, and our lips met passionately.
That single touch ignited an indescribable sensation within me. A surge of electricity coursed through my entire being, intensifying the hardness that had already taken hold since Bella had revealed her seductive side in the car. My rational thinking disappeared as desire and primal urges consumed me.
Never before had I experienced such a connection with anyone. It was unlike anything I had ever encountered.
The kiss felt so pure, yet it was forbidden, wrong in every sense.
And yet, at that moment, it felt undeniably right.
She was my baby girl, my sunshine, who made me happy with her sweet smile. But at that moment, she was in my embrace, kissing me as if her life depended on it. It was evident that she had never kissed anyone before, and I could sense her inexperience. Yet, it felt as if her entire existence hinged on that kiss as if she would cease to exist if she didn't press her lips against mine.
The sensation her lips elicited soon overcame me, and I reciprocated the kiss. Our lips moved in perfect harmony, molding together effortlessly. My tongue gently prodded at her lips, seeking permission to delve deeper.
As soon as she granted me entry, I explored every nook and cranny of her mouth, getting lost in the passionate exchange. The last ounce of resistance in my mind crumbled, and I surrendered completely to my desire for her. My hands roamed across her body, exploring every inch, pulling her closer even though we were already intimately close, ensuring no space between us for even a breath to pass through.
Cold water cascaded over us. I gently broke the kiss, pulling my lips away, only to gently place them on her neck, softly kissing and lightly nipping her tender skin. Bella squirmed and let out audible moans. She pressed her lower body against mine, the intensity of her desire transferring to me. Without hesitation, I lifted and carried her to my bedroom, never breaking our passionate connection.
Carefully, I laid her down on my bed, my gaze roaming over her enticing figure. As I saw a sultry and damp Bella writhing before me, my eyes grew darker, consumed by lust. She beckoned me with her half-opened eyes and trembling lips, reaching out her hand.
I gathered all my strength and looked away, saying, " Baby girl, you need to sleep. You are high due to drugs. Please, baby! Try to sleep. "
"No, Ryder! I can't sleep. I am feeling so hot. Please, Ryder, do something . I feel like I'll die ". Bella cried ... Her eyes were half open. Her lips were trembling. She lifted her hand to call me to her.
A curse slipped from my lips, "Fuck it..."
I abruptly closed the distance between us, swiftly removing my t-shirt. Leaning down, I captured her lips in a deep, sensual kiss. Moving from her lips to her cheeks, I trailed kisses along her jawline, reaching her neck. Bella's moans grew louder as she sought release, her body yearning for relief. I unclasped her bra and removed her jeans.
My lips fell on her soft nipples, and I wanted nothing more than to suck and lick her full and soft bosom. I took her delicate bud in my mouth and sucked it until it became hard and aching red. I gave my equal attention to her other nipple, making it hard and so painfully red.
When I was satisfied with my artwork, my lips traveled south. I left wet kisses on her stomach and, halting over the belly button, licked and circled my tongue along it. Bella moaned, arching her back and pulling my head closer. My lips trailed toward her apex, my head disappearing between her legs. My tongue started licking her core, my lips massaging her sweet pussy. Bella's moaning became loud. She was writhing and thrashing her head wildly. I knew this was too much for her. She never had any man there. She didn't understand why this sensation made her feel so good.
But I was lost in her sweet taste. Her moans felt like some music to my ears.
I moved away, looking at her face, which was flushed red. I tried every ounce to control myself, also panting and heaving.
I asked her, my eyes dark with lust," Tell me... What do you want, Bella? "
"Ryder, I need you. I need to get rid of this pain," she whispered, her voice trembling.
In an instant, my clothes disappeared, and I positioned myself between her legs. The touch of my body against hers made her writhe beneath me, seeking more.
Leaning in, I captured her lips in a passionate kiss, wanting to taste her essence. As I pulled back to gaze into her eyes, my silent question lingered. My breathing grew heavy as I struggled to hold myself back.
"Bella, are you sure?" I asked her, seeking reassurance one final time.
Bella remained silent, unable to form words. Instead, she arched her back urgently, pressing herself against me.
Her response was all the answers I needed.
With a hard thrust, I entered her, breaking through her resistance. Bella let out a cry of pain.I froze. How could I have forgotten that she was a virgin? I mentally scolded myself for my impatience. I should have been more careful and gentle.
Lowering my head, I kissed her forehead and moved down to capture her lips, hoping to ease her discomfort.She cried into my mouth, but soon the pain transformed into pleasure. She tapped my shoulder, signaling me to continue. Taking the hint, I began thrusting in and out of her. Our bodies soon found a perfect rhythm, moving together seamlessly.She cried out as she reached climax, breathing heavily. Her face flushed red, eyes tightly shut.
I continued my passionate movements, thrusting forcefully and swiftly into her. She was so tight and felt so good clenching around my dick. Before long, I also found release inside her.Pulling out, I lay beside her, drawing her into my arms. I had never felt so whole. Her innocent body possessed a hold on me that I couldn't resist. It was like an addiction, something I couldn't overcome. As much as I yearned for doing this again, I knew she needed rest. She appeared utterly exhausted, unable to even open her eyes. Sleep soon overcame us, and a content smile formed on my lips.
*Bella*The next morning, I stirred awake, a strange heaviness keeping me from moving. It took a moment to realize I was wrapped tightly in a pair of powerful, muscular arms. My heart skipped a beat as the events of last night came rushing back, painting my cheeks with a deep blush of embarrassment.Oh, God. I couldn’t believe it. How could I have been so desperate, practically begging Ryder Knight to take me in his bed? And the worst part? He had granted my wish, just like he always did—fulfilling every little thing I ever asked of him.But this wasn’t like before. This wasn’t some innocent request he could shrug off. The thought of what had happened—and how I had behaved—sent a wave of mortification crashing over me.How was I supposed to feel about him now? How could I face him? Most of all, what was he thinking about me? Did he see me as just another desperate girl throwing herself at him, like so many others had?The idea alone was unbearable, making me want to disappear. If only
*Bella*“Are you going to the Knights this weekend?” my mom asked over the phone.I bit my lip, still conflicted about whether or not to go. I couldn’t face Ryder after that night, and I had been avoiding him ever since. I hadn’t replied to his texts or calls. But then, last night, Mrs. Knight—Ryder’s mom—called and insisted I come, just like usual. I tried to dodge it and make an excuse, but she wasn’t having it.“Umm… yes, Mom. I’ll go to the Knights and spend the weekend with them,” I replied in a low voice, as if I was afraid to even hear myself say it. I was still unsure how I would behave around Ryder. What if his family sensed something unusual between us? Oh, God. That would be so embarrassing.“Bella, I’m warning you again to stay away from those rich people,” Mom said in a stern tone. I braced myself, knowing exactly what was coming. She never liked the Knights and always had something against them being so rich and powerful.“They’re not trustworthy,” she continued. “They’r
I bit my lip, my cheeks flushing an even deeper shade, as I heard the groans from my friends and caught the envious stares of the girls around us the moment Ryder pressed his lips to my cheek.I swear my jaw nearly hit the ground. Oh God. Ryder Knight—the Ryder Knight, the most eligible bachelor—was kissing me in front of the entire college.Fuck. My brain short-circuited as I realized what this meant. Now, I’d undoubtedly land on the envy list of every girl on campus.This had never happened before. Ryder never displayed PDA, not even with his girlfriends.“How was your day, kiddo?” he asked, pulling back slightly but keeping one arm draped casually over my shoulder.Kiddo?! Seriously?! “I’m eighteen now, Ryder. Not a kid anymore,” I replied, rolling my eyes in annoyance.“Who knows it better than me, baby girl?” he said, his teasing tone laced with mischief. He flicked my nose with his finger, his eyes gleaming with that familiar mischievous spark.I felt my cheeks flush as I unders
After a few minutes of driving, we arrived at the familiar sight of the Knight family mansion. The house was grand, with a stunning garden that contrasted against the sleek, modern interiors. As we pulled up to the entrance, I saw Ryder's parents waiting in the living area. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth and belonging every time I visited.When we stepped out of the car, Mrs. Savannah Knight—Ryder’s mother—was the first to approach me. Her smile was genuine, and she enveloped me in a tight hug. "Hey sweetheart, it's been a while since we last saw you," she said warmly.I grinned as I hugged her back, feeling a rush of comfort in her embrace. "Yeah, Mrs. Knight, I've been busy with my assignments. But I missed you all," I replied, my smile widening. It was true—I really had missed them. They were more like family to me than just friends of my parents. Ryder’s family had always made me feel welcome, and that meant a lot to me.After I pulled away from Mrs. Knight, I noticed
The rest of the meal passed in a blur of lively conversation and playful banter, filling the room with warmth. It felt like the perfect family gathering, and I couldn’t help but feel lucky to be a part of it.After saying our goodbyes, we left the Knight family home, and by the time we were on the road, fatigue hit me hard. I had stayed up late finishing an assignment and didn’t even realize I’d fallen asleep in the car. I jolted awake when the car engine turned off, blinking away the haze of sleep. Looking out, I saw we’d already arrived. Ryder had parked in his parking spot."Why did you bring me here? I told you to drop me at my dorm. I have an assignment to submit on Monday," I mumbled, rubbing my eyes with the heel of my palm.Ryder didn't respond, but I could feel the tension in the air. The muscles in his jaw were clenched, his silence speaking volumes. Without saying a word, he got out of the car and rounded to my side. He opened the passenger door and, in a swift movement, gra
Ryder’s urgency was unmistakable, and I felt a mix of shock and desire tugging at me. The kiss, the touch—it all felt so intense, but it was hard to tell whether I was ready for this, or if I even had control anymore.My mind went blank and I couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe. The shock of his touch sent a jolt through my body, but it wasn’t fear—it was desire, raw and uncontrollable.I didn’t want this. I shouldn’t want this. But the second his fingers moved, every logical thought flew out the window. It was like he knew exactly what to do, how to touch me, to make me unravel. My body betrayed me, giving in completely to him, and I hated how much I loved it.The next moment he tore my dress away and his hands and lips were all over my body. My skin burned with need where he touched me, and his voice—gruff, needy—sent another wave of heat straight to my core.“What are you doing to me, baby girl? I can’t resist your body,” he growled into my ear, his words dripping with desire.I could
The morning was beautiful, comforting even, as I stirred in the arms of this powerful, hot man who had ravished me so intensely the entire night, leaving me drained but still craving more.I couldn’t help but trace his features with my eyes, admiring the perfection of his face. It wasn’t fair—how could a man be so damn gorgeous? I bit my lip as I gently ran my fingers over his nose, jawline, and lips, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch. I leaned in, brushing my lips over his softly, before I started to move.But then, without warning, Ryder’s arm tightened around me, holding me in place. My heart raced, confusion flooding me. I hadn’t expected him to hold on, and I wasn’t sure what it meant. The mixture of surprise and uncertainty made my chest tighten, and I paused, wondering what was going through his mind."Where do you think you're going, beautiful?" Ryder murmured, his voice laced with a hint of playfulness."I... um... need to use the bathroom," I stuttered, my shyne
After a ten-minute drive, we arrived at the exclusive club where Alex had thrown his bachelor party. Alex and Logan were my partners in the mafia. Together, we ruled the underworld, an unstoppable force that no one dared challenge. Our legitimate businesses served as the perfect front, keeping our darker dealings hidden from the prying eyes of the law and the public.I held Bella’s hand tightly as we entered through the VIP gate. The club’s dim lighting made it hard to see clearly, but I navigated through the crowd with ease, heading straight for the bar where I knew my friends would be. Sure enough, I spotted them, lounging casually, their sharp eyes scanning the room even amidst the celebrations.“Ryder! Finally, you're here. We've been waiting for you, bro,” Alex greeted, stretching out his arms.“I had to work late, so I got held up. Sorry about that,” I replied, shaking his hand and pulling him in for a congratulatory hug.“Yeah, we figured,” Logan chimed in, his gaze sliding brie
Ryder's POV.The club was alive with energy as the weekend reached its peak. The neon lights danced across the crowded dance floor, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the revelers. The pulsating music thumped in my chest, creating an electric atmosphere that fueled the excitement in the air. The air was thick with the scent of alcohol and sweat, mingling with the overpowering aroma of perfume and cologne.Sitting at a reserved booth in a dimly lit corner, I was joined by my close friend, Alex. He exuded impatience, his foot tapping restlessly against the floor as he scanned the entrance of the club. We were regulars at this place, but tonight, our excitement was tinged with a hint of unease. We were waiting for Logan, our once dependable comrade, who seemed to have changed since his marriage to Mia."Ryder, when is Logan coming?" Alex asked, his voice edged with irritation.I understood his frustration; Logan used to be the first one to arrive, always ready to embrace the nightlife.
Logan's POV.As I slowly opened my eyes, the harsh, sterile lights of the hospital room greeted me. Disoriented and weak, I blinked several times until the blurry figures around me came into focus. There was Mia, her eyes filled with worry and relief, and my family standing by her side, their faces etched with concern."Mia..." I whispered, my voice barely audible.Her eyes lit up with tears of joy as she took my hand in hers. "Thank goodness you're awake," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.My family wore expressions of both happiness and concern. My mother's eyes were red from crying, while my father's stern facade tried to hide his fear. It was then that I knew I had to be honest with them about how I felt."I can't go through with the marriage," I admitted, my voice stronger now. "I love Mia, and I can't marry someone else."My father's face turned stern, and he scolded me, "You're being impractical! You have responsibilities, and this is no time for childish whims!"Befo
Logan's POV.Amidst the busy preparations for my upcoming wedding, I couldn't shake off the lingering unease in my heart. Mia's sudden resignation from my company had left me bewildered and bruised my ego. I had made it clear to her that our relationship would remain strictly professional, yet she chose to leave."Why does it bother me so much?" I wondered aloud as I paced in my luxurious penthouse.Alex, who had been helping me with the wedding arrangements, noticed my distress."Hey, man, what's bothering you? You should be on cloud nine with your marriage just around the corner," Alex said, concern evident in his voice."I don't know, Alex. It's just that Mia's resignation hit me harder than I expected," I admitted with a sigh. "Even though I told myself I didn't care about her rejecting me, there's this nagging feeling inside me.""Why do you bother? It is not like you feel something for her, do you?" Alex inquired. "Remember, you have a stunning fiancée, a glamorous wedding ahead
Alex's POV.We all gathered at Ryder's wedding, witnessing the heartfelt exchange of vows between Ryder and Bella. Their hurried marriage brought back memories of my own wedding day, where I had first laid eyes on Sarah. But after she left, things took a painful turn. I tried countless times to meet her, to explain myself, but she refused to hear me out. Her parents, adamant in their disapproval, forbade me from entering their home. It was absurd - I was her husband, not some boyfriend they could simply cast aside. I pleaded with them, insisting that I had changed, that I wanted to be with her, but they turned a deaf ear.Unbeknownst to me, Ryder had invited Sarah to the wedding as well. My heart filled with both hope and trepidation, praying that she would show up so I could finally talk to her. And then, there she was, entering the venue in a stunning peach-colored gown. Something about her appearance was different, and it left me bewildered. Her face was radiant, and I couldn't hel
I gave myself a gentle slap on the head to snap back to reality as Ryder approached. My father released my hand as Ryder stepped forward, and he kindly helped me up onto the small platform where he stood. He leaned in to plant a sweet kiss on my cheek."You look absolutely stunning," he whispered in my ear, his eyes traversing down my form before locking onto mine once more, filled with adoration.The wedding officiant, a tall and amiable man, commenced the ceremony. As he gracefully greeted everyone and eloquently explained the significance of this union, I couldn't help but steal glances at Ryder, wanting to savor every detail of his appearance.He stood there, a picture of confidence and poise. His eyes gleamed with joy and adoration, reflecting the love that bound us together. Clad in an impeccably tailored black suit that hugged his form exquisitely, he looked every bit the dashing groom. His short, dark hair was slicked back to perfection, accentuating his handsome features. He
Bella's POV.The sound of my phone jolted me awake from my slumber, disturbing the peaceful moment I had been sharing with Ryder. Gently, I disentangled myself from his embrace, aware that I was still unclothed, and hurriedly pulled the sheet to cover myself before answering the call."Mum!" I greeted cheerfully, my heart still elated from Ryder's heartfelt confession of love."Bella, what is going on?" Her voice carried a tone of anger.Confused by her question, I asked, "What do you mean, mum?""You and Ryder are all over the news, and your father is furious," she complained.My mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. "What? I don't understand, mum. What's happening?""Where are you right now, Bella?" Her concern was evident."I am... I am..." I hesitated, unable to come up with a lie."Are you with Ryder?" She guessed, and I fell silent, confirming her suspicion."Why did you do this, Bella?" Her disappointment in me was palpable.Suddenly, the phone was snatched from my ha
Ryder's POV.My futile attempts to incite jealousy in Bella by meeting other girls left me feeling disheartened. No matter who I interacted with, she remained composed and collected, as if her emotions were impervious to my antics. Undeterred, I had to switch to plan B.I smirked as I thought about it because it was foolproof, and Ryder never failed to get what he wanted."Bella, I have planned a vacation for us," I called her while she was in school.I smiled as I could imagine her eyes widened in surprise."What? No, Ryder, I can't go on vacation, and, most of all, I have some assignments to complete," she replied, her voice tinged with reluctance."Come on, Bella. Mum is persistent about my marriage, so it will be our last vacation together. I am sending my secretary. Give her your passport. We are going to Switzerland for a week. Just me and you. I want to spend some time with you alone," I insisted, hoping she would agree."Abroad trip? You will get clicked by the media, and I do
I could feel anger and frustration bubbling up inside me. "Do you really not care if my mother wants me to marry a girl of her choice? It doesn't bother you," I asked, my voice trembling with suppressed anger.Her response shocked me, as she remained calm and matter-of-fact. "Why should it bother me? We are not committed. We are not in a relationship. You should get married, and your family wants it too," she stated, causing my frustration to escalate.Feeling a mix of desperation and vulnerability, I couldn't hold back any longer. "Bella, I want to settle down with you," I confessed shamelessly, my heart laid bare before her. I knew she might not fully understand, given her age, but I had to take the chance. I was willing to set aside my pride and beg her to marry me.Her response was not what I had hoped for, and it hit me like a heavy blow. "Are you mad? Ryder, I am still in school. I want to complete my studies. I want to make my career first. I can't think about settling down in
Ryder's POV.At 9:00 a.m. on a lazy Sunday morning, my peaceful slumber was abruptly interrupted by the incessant ringing of my phone. I groggily reached for it, wondering who could possibly be disturbing me at this ungodly hour. To my delight, Bella stirred in my arms, her tiny meows adding a touch of charm to the waking chaos.I carefully placed Bella on the pillow, ensuring her continued comfort, before reluctantly sitting up to answer the call. The screen displayed my mother's face, which meant it was likely to be something important. I swiped the answer button and, slipping my feet into slippers, made my way to the balcony, hoping to maintain some tranquility around Bella's sleeping form."Hey mum! What's up? Why did you have to call so early on a Sunday morning?" I questioned, attempting to sound both concerned and slightly annoyed."Ryder, I've sent some pictures of the daughters from reputable families to your number. Take a look and choose one of them. I'll set up a date for
