I stare at Ryder, surprised, with thousands of thoughts running through my mind.
What is he doing here? How the hell is he here? How the fuck does he look so good in that suit? Why do I want to touch him so badly? Why does seeing his face make me miss him even more?
All those thoughts, however, dissolve as soon as my eyes lands on the woman who's perched beside him; staring between the two of us as if we are some kind of movie. Who the fuck is she? I don't think I have seen that face before.
The elevator dings, bringing our attention back to it, and I clear my throat, smoothing my hands down my skirt for the thousandth time this morning before preparing to walk out, only for Ryder's sudden grip on my wrist to pull me back.
I stare down at the firm grip on me before raising my gaze to meet his, but he's currently looking at the woman who still looks very surprised and now with a frown etched on his face. Yeah, take

DAWN. "You're going to be the fucking death of me!" He growls before dipping his head down and laying his claim over my lips, mashing his against mine, using his grip on my waist to bring my body flushed against his large one—impossibly close to each other. As our lips collide and he ravages my mouth like it's the last and only thing keeping him alive, like it's his only last string of insanity, awakening within the depth of me passion that drips between my thighs and have my pussy clench against my thong, creaming the poor thing. I can no longer hide how I feel about this man. I have been for so fucking long and it's become so damn unbearable. So fucking tiring. I can no longer hide the feelings that burst in me with every slight touch of his. With every kiss escaping his lips that I greedily take. With every moan that slips through my parted lips, which he captures greedily, and soft velvet kisses that seem so fucking wild and roug

DAWN."You okay?"Ryder asks as the elevator comes to a stop again. He had it running in the fear of being caught fucking in the private thing for CEOs like him; I don't blame the man if he is a little cautious."I am, "I tell him, voice barely raising over a whisper. I'm most definitely okay, more than okay if you ask me and sour. Very sour.This man will truly be the death of me one day, and there's no doubt in that."Can you stand?"He asks as he grabs me by my hips, slowly loosening his grip on me so I can move in a straight position instead of the bent one I had been."Yes, I think I can move just alright. You can let go of me now. "I tell him and he hums before dropping his grip from my hips, raising me to stand against the steel of the elevator wall—the material feeling icy against the thin fabric of my shirt."Now you can tell me why you were here. "Ryder

RYDER. I was not expecting it. I was not expecting a lot of things. For instance, seeing her run towards the elevator. The feelings that tugged at my heart when I raised my gaze from Mrs Gold and realized my woman was here, running towards me. Not really towards me, but she was fucking here. The way I have missed her. The way I have craved for her. Nothing else but her presence; it was driving me insane because it was constantly on my mind. I needed to see her, just for once. Just for a bit, just her face alone. But I couldn't do that. I couldn't go to her because I knew it wouldn't be her fucking face again. We were going to do things if I went to her, things that would have made me so happy but would have distracted me and distraction is so far from what I need right now. So many things happen that she still doesn't know about. Things that I dread to tell her. Sarah has drawn the line. She has star

ELIJAH. I stare into the thin air impatiently, my fingers drumming against the table absentmindedly as her thoughts fill my mind. Dawn Meek. A fucking rare species. Quite different from the girls I've come across. She has this ability to control your mind and your decisions without even realising it and it'll take a damn powerful man to resist that woman's charms. I all but wanted to get into her pants the first day I met her. She looked beautiful. Beautiful and wild, which is the exact type of girls I'm into. But then I got involved with her and realized she isn't just a wild girl who's after fucking any man that looks her way. She's different. A fucking different tornado — she's just different. She's the unexpected one. She is the girl you never saw coming, the unexpected one who calms you, centers you, and still she turns out to be the one you trip over love for when you had least ex

DAWN. Come back to his hotel with him? I raise my gaze to meet Ryder's, halting the teasing movement of my hand against his protruding bulge. Soothing eyes that display nothing but admiration staring down as he blinks at me, waiting for me to respond to his request. "I have to get back to campus. I have classes. " I tell him with a small smile on my face and he shakes his head, wrapping his arms around my body and swallowing me whole against his chest. "You can go tomorrow. " He whispers, burying his face in the crook of my neck and sniffing my hair, which forces a chuckle out of me. The man does weird things sometimes. "I have been missing classes a lot these days, Smith. I'm lacking behind in my studies too; I've got a lot of catching up to do and I don't think missing further classes to fuck with you would do. " "I never said we were going to fuck. " He laughs, hiding his face in my ha

DAWN. The offer is too tempting. Too fucking tempting than I can handle, and I imagine the both of us naked in his bathroom. Oh, the many things that could and will happen because I have only less willpower to refuse this tempting offer. Safe to say, I don't want to. "Yes, " I let out a moan as Ryder pinches my clit again, and he chuckles, placing a kiss to my neck before moving away from me. The breeze hitting me hard without his warm embrace to take it away. "I will wait in there, Princess. " He whispers before his frame disappears into where I assume should be the bedroom. I let out a sigh, staring around before following down the path he went through; heart thumping harder with each step I take. I push the door to the room open, and once again, I'm in awe. I think it's safe to say this is a fucking palace! The king sized bed is at the center of the room dressed beaut

DAWN. I wake up to the obnoxious sound of my phone booming loudly beside me. A hiss slips through my lips as my eyelids flutters open, my eyes trained on the white ceiling with the chandelier hanging off it as I take a few seconds to come out of sleepy form. Turning beside me, the small device is still vibrating on the mattress. I left this in my bag in the living room, so this must be Ryder's doing. Speaking of Ryder, my heart flutters at the thought of him on my mind and my eyes do a look over across the room, finding him nowhere in sight. He did said he has work to do but how long did I slept for? The loud shrill of my phone distracts me from my thoughts, and I groan internally before sitting up against the headboard, dragging the sheets to cover my naked chest as Kira's name glares at me from the screen. She really likes calling at inappropriate times of the day. "Bitch, you dropped your phone down the sink or somet

DAWN.Silence descends in the air with Ryder saying nothing for minutes, but I can feel his breathing heavy in my ear and the pounding of his heart against my chest.When he pulls me away from his embrace; a guilty expression covers his face, and the earlier glint in his eyes is nowhere to be found. I never meant for him to react this way, but somehow, he has."Why do you ask, Dawn? "He says in a voice barely a whisper that if I wasn't pressed against him; I wouldn't have heard.Gulping down the sudden bile in my throat, I speak in a voice nearly the same as his, "I think I deserve to know and its sort has been bugging at me these past few days. I think I've come to terms with that fact that the shit happened, and I think I am now ready to accept the truth. "Ryder stares at me for a long minute of silence, and I'm regretting my words until he says, "Okay. I think you deserve to know, anyway. "He brings my bo

DAWN. "You shouldn't be scared. " Ryder states beside me and I glare at him, "Easy for you to say. You're not the one meeting your man's parents for the first time. ""I don't remember you being nervous when you met Miranda and the rest. " He teases and I nudge him with my shoulder, earning a laugh from him. "Just joking, babe. You'll be fine. They're not scary. ""Are you sure about that?" I cast him a side glance as I rub my palms against each other and he hums, "Not to that extent. ""Ryder, " I whine as I slap his thigh. "Stop teasing me. You're not helping. ""I know, " he chuckles. "I just can't help it when you're this worried. Come on, you'll be fine, baby. " He presses a hand to my face and I push more of my skin into his touch, letting out a breath at the feeling of calmness that comes with it. It's been a month since I graduated and left college, and today; I'll be meeting Ryder's family. His second family that's come to be a part of the big one. We haven't met because I

√THREE YEARS LATER. √BOSTON. DAWN. "He isn't picking the calls, still?" I drop the phone from my ear and lift my gaze to Bryan, a frown covering my expression as I shake my head in a response to his words. "He isn't. I have no idea what's happening. ""When last did you two speak?" He asks as he steps closer and I say, "He's been busy so we haven't been speaking much. Probably last two days if I remember correctly. ""And he knows your graduation is today?" He lifts his brow and I hum, "He knows. He couldn't have forgotten. He isn't the type to forget these sorts of things. ""Then he should be here. Maybe he's planning a surprise for you?" He suggests and I let out a chuckle, "I don't think so, Bryan. Maybe he truly isn't coming. "I stare down at the screen of my phone, like I've been doing for hours, waiting patiently for Ryder's text or call to inform me he's somewhere around here for one of the important moments of my life— my graduation, but there's been nothing from him.

DAWN. "She didn't give me a chance to refuse when she overheard me talking to Ryder. " Miranda snickers as she nudges Emily towards me and I chuckle, wrapping my arms around the little one's body. "Hey, sweetheart. Will you miss me?" I raise my brows and she bobs her head slowly, her lips pushed forward in a small, cute pout. I smile and press my fingers to it, "Is that right? You never asked of sister Dawn since you left with your mom. " "She does, " Miranda groans behind me and I take my eyes back to her with raised brows. "Every single day. Trust me. " "Good girl. " I ruffle her hair and she smiles brightly at me. I move her to my side, and look towards Ryder who has a sad look on his face. No matter how much he tells me he's alright with this, I know he isn't. I know he doesn't want me to go, and I wish there was another way but this is something I have to do. This is something I st

DAWN."Your Aunt seems so nice. " Ryder comments as I get into bed with him, moving to his chest with his arm going around my waist and I chuckle with a small nod, saying, "She is. That's why I love her so much. ""I can tell by the way you gazed at her and that smile you had on your face. " He says."It's been so long since I last saw her, Ryder. It felt too good to be in her presence again. I honestly feel bad for leaving her alone for so long. " I tell him and he hums, "It wasn't your fault. Everything is falling back to place at least. " He smiles and I nod.Everything truly is. Rider reconciled with his family, and I did the same with my Aunt. Elijah is off my back, and there's no need to worry any longer. No challenges gnawing at us, threatening to pull us apart, and that calms my heart. Except for that one thought that stays at the back of my mind.

DAWN."You look so nervous, " Ryder chuckles as we stand before my aunt's door, and I laugh rubbing my palms against each other."That, I definitely am. What if she's mad at me, and doesn't want to see me? It's been so long since I checked on him. I mean, I know I do call, but I've been in Washington for days, and I didn't check on her, Ryder. What if she sends me out?""Okay, babe. You really need to be calm. You're freaking out. " Ryder says with a shake of his head, grabbing hold of my shoulders to still my movement, and I let out a low breath as I raise my gaze to meet his. "She will be more than happy to see you, Dawn. You're her family, and even if she might get mad that this took you so long; nothing will stop her from embracing you. " He assures, his palm cupping my face, and I shut my eyes to the warmth of his touch against my skin, before nodding."Okay. Here we go. " I mo

DAWN."And you're okay with everything?" I ask Ryder who have a wide smile on his face as his hands graze over my thighs, while the other controls the steering wheel."Yes, I am, babe, " he responds with a laugh, and it warms my heart to hear that beautiful sound fall off his lips. He's happy. Genuinely happy, just like I always want him to be, and I don't think I want anything else than what I have right now."I'm glad you agreed to go there. " I tell him, holding my hand over the one that rests over my thigh, and he hums, nodding."I'm glad I did too. I have a fucking twin sister! Can you believe that?" He laughs with a shake of his head as he stops at the green light, and I can't help the laugh that slips through my parted lips at the sight of an excited Ryder Smith."I do now that you say it. How was she like? How was everyone like?" I turn to hi

DAWN.I lean back against my seat as I wait for Ryder's arrival. My phone vibrates against the skin of my leg; bringing me out of my daze, and I push forward, grabbing it as my eyes widen at the name across my screen.Elijah.He's calling me.With a nervous sigh, I push the mobile against my ear, and wait for his voice."Dawn?" He says, and I hum, leaning back against the car seat, saying, "Hey, Elijah. ""I'm glad you picked. I had doubts. " He laughs, the sound booming through the device, and my body visibly relaxes at that; knowing he isn't here for trouble."Why wouldn't I?" I chuckle, and there's a sigh from his end, before he says, "The things I did to you. They weren't right, Dawn. I said, and did terrible things. I was so obsessed with the idea of having you that I didn't even realize you were h

RYDER.I stare at the woman that walks inside the room; her eyes scanning across the room, till it lands on my gaze, and her eyes drink me in, moving down my length.I'm in awe, and my eyes are wide as I stare at the woman that stands before me. Damn! She could be mistaken as my twin. Who is this woman?"Ryder, " the man says, drawing my attention back to him, and I move my eyes from the lady back to the man, who calls for the lady with a smile on his face as he says, "This is Delilah. Your sister. " You've got to be fucking kidding me! My sister? I have a sister?"He's my brother? Ryder Smith is my brother?" Brother. That word. I've not known that word outside the Smith's family, and to be called that by a girl that's the other version of me makes my heart warm, as much as it aches.I move my gaze to the family before me.

DAWN."Are you sure you're ready to do this?" I raise my brows at Ryder who leans against his seat with his head raised, and his hand over his forehead.He snaps his gaze to mine, with a small smile gracing his lips as he slowly bobs his head. "I think I deserve to know why my parents thought I was useless enough to be abandoned. " The pain is evident in his voice, and I shake my head, grabbing hold of his shoulder, and squeezing the skin slightly."I don't want you to ever think like that again, babe. You're not useless, and their answers will prove that. " I tell him with a wide smile, and he pulls me flush against his side; his lips melting against my forehead, and I shut my eyes at the warmth that spread over the skin."I love you, Dawn. Really fucking much. " He whispers, and I smile; raising my head to meet his gaze, before saying, "I love you too, Ryder. Really fucking
