The only thing she was able to manage was keeping her cool and feeding her hurt so she could stay angry and not give in to the forbidden thoughts now playing in her head.
He'd hurt her and should be treated in accordance and that had nothing to do with him becoming the subject of her fantasies, again.
She didn't wait for him to come around and get her door, they were home now and past the pretense.
At least she'd believed he earlier one to be for the benefit of Cole and whoever else it was he was trying to fool, definitely not hers.
She pushed the door open, and came out of the car, craving the comfort and solitude of her own room.
And this night when she relieves herself of the ache burning between her legs, she'd know to lock her doors.
Without a word, she went past hi

Just as it was getting better and the ache inside her was flaming uncontrollable, he pulled back from his oral assault, his eyes glinting with the knowledge of the power he now held over her."We should get inside, don't you think?." He asked, watching her like a predator would watch its prey.Her face colored as she realised she'd totally forgotten where they were while she'd surrendered herself to him.And it was worse knowing that she wouldn't have called it quits if he hadn't."Of course." She bit out, still flaming red from her embarrassment.He must know how much effect he had on her, and must be enjoying every second of it.She followed him inside, taking her time to shut the door after them and hoping he'd be gone by the time she quit stalling.She didn't feel ready to face after what they'd just been up to.Just like the last time they'd been together, he'd been the one to call it quits, again.But he wasn't gon

"Are you sure you want this, baby girl?" Bree didn't understand his need to keep asking that particular question, if she didn't want him, she wouldn't be here trying to tempt him into taking her with reckless abandon. She nodded, trying urge him on before either of them regains their senses and call it quits. "No, I need to hear you say the words. Tell me how much you want this." His voice was deeper than usual and his fingers worked their magic, pulling her clothes slowly off down her body, like they had all the time in the world. "I want you, Ryder, so much." "It can get a little rough, I like my control and no touching, little one. No hands." He sounded rather too serious with the no hand rule, with heavy emphasis on it but she wasn't about to let it deter them. She didn't try answering him with words, she just lifted on her toes instead and kissed him. It seemed to communicate her agreement to him in c

In all her years together with Cole, Bree had never experienced an orgasm as mind blowing as the one Ryder just gave her. She lay limp with her body sensitive to all senses. He had a smirk on his face as he watched her with hooded eyes. True to his promise, he'd made her wait and beg for it before he finally let her cum, his name a chant on her lips and all the while, he made sure her hands were captives in his. He got off the couch, taking her with him. Without wasting any second, he lifted her off her feet and carried her up the stairs. She didn't ask any questions, trusting him to do only what would please them. He carried her into his room, with it's wide and comfy bed, dumping her on it. "I want to take you so hard in my bed and make memories to wake up to." There's no way he means that, right? He unbuttoned his shirt with so much ease, managing to make the simple action so sexy and tempting.

Being with Ryder was everything Bree had imagined and more.A lot more.The real deal had put her fantasies to shame and the woman she'd become in his arms had come as a surprise to her.She'd been free and wanting in those strong, big, safe arms.At some point their love making had escalated and there'd been all the urgency in the world in their movement and at other times, he'd been all about the passion and savoring the moment.Slow and thorough in his loving.But it had puzzled her though, his obsession with keeping her hands off him and pinned and keeping all the control in his arsenal.It had delighted her to be at his mercy but to have her hands held at all times, well, that's something they'd have to talk about.Except that it scared her to raise the topic.The last time she'd tried it had ended rather sadly.He'd bailed and left she and her needs to her own vices.Her phone rang, disrupting h

Bree dreaded going to see Jeffery, like she always did, but today it seemed the lesser evil when thrown against facing Ryder after last night.The night had been beautiful and she didn't want anything to ruin it, not even the man that had made it special for her.She sighed as she dressed up, she'd spent a greater part of her morning in the bath sponging off and now her skin hurt as the closest contact.She made sure Ryder was still in bed, at least his room, before she snuck out.If there's one thing she really sucks at, it was the morning after talk, and she'd rather not have it with man as enigmatic as he was volatile.And those were the words she'd use to describe Ryder in a heartbeat.To think she'd understand him better after having lived with him in the same house for a month plus now.The home was already running for the day when she arrived abd it gave her the chills to be here again and so soon.The back of her neck p

Bree came home feeling dirtier than a pig in the swamp, covered in mud.She'd allowed those old fools paw her like an object, and throw their smelly breath in her face, and for what?And to her shame, she hadn't fought because she'd been scared and numb while they brought back buried memories.She hated Jeffery so much it hurt, but this visit just sent the intensity with which she did to the heavens and back.She couldn't stand herself and all she could think about on her way back was scrubbing the filth away from her body in the bath until she feels totally scrubbed and clean of their touch.Hot tears rolled down her eyes even as she tried to bite them back, her life was seeming more like a curse with every new day.Yeah, she understood it now, for some crime she'd committed in her past life, she was being punished with her only living parent.If only she knew what that crime was and how she could make up for it.And their req

When Ryder woke up, it was to a cold, empty space next to him and no sign of Bree.It was almost like last night didn't happen and if he didn't still feel slightly sore from all that love making and raw passion, he might believe that it didn't after all.His room was devoid of any trace of her, except for her lingering scent in his sheets and pillows.It teased his nostrils and brought back vivid memories of last night, sweet memories of milky skin and fluid movement and it angered him so much that she'd bailed on him before even the rising of the sun.It was his pride as much as his feelings that was hurt, in all his life as a man, he's never had a woman disappear from his bed in the morning after, he'd always been the one doing all the running from all of them and their commitment traps.To have him taste the other side of that knife was hell, it made him so mad to consider the reasons she might have had.It all sets the flaws at his feet

Bree's morning was already ruined with her visit to her father, but it had taken Bernett's hard voice calling her to his office to make it considerably worse.His face had been hard as rock and his voice had been even worse.And his words had cut deep when he'd called her a whore, throwing herself cheap to score points in his firm.The filth dripping from his lips had been foreign to her ears as she had no idea what he'd been talking about.She'd had no knowledge of what Nathan Stone looked like in the flesh until this morning, and yet he made his accusations with no remorse or respect to her womanhood.He'd accused her of doing despicable things to worm her way into Nathan Stone's favor and disregarding the rules of the firm because of the man's influence.It had taken everything in her to keep mute and listen to him insult her very birth and existence.She'd taken it all because he was the boss and she needed the money he pays at th

Her box laid open in the middle of their bed while Bree went around the room, taking anything she thought she'd need and throwing them inside it.She's procrastinated this packing for a while now but it needed to be done and as a matter of fact now that Ryder was still at the office.She didn't want him to come home and find she was the only one delaying the vacation he'd taken the whole month to plan for them.Yeah, a vacation, more like a honeymoon except the kids, Karen and Issy, the new nanny, were coming too.In the couple of years that's passed, a lot has happened, none of which she regretted one bit.Not learning how damaged how husband had been before he waltzed into her life or that his plan had been to use her as pawn in his schemes to get revenge, none of it.That last part had hit harder than the rest, knowing that she could have so easily suffered for the crimes of someone who didn't even give two piece of flying shit about her.She'd taken her time to digest that piece

"You know you'll never hurt Xander, right?" She asked him quietly, and honestly, she had no idea what that did for him.He didnt know that, he's been afraid of that since he knew he was expecting a soon too and maybe, just maybe, that has affected his relationship with his baby.He wondered if she'd noticed, all the times he'd opt to hold Lexie instead of him, afraid that whatever had made his father get so awfully abusive to him might be nestled somewhere inside him.What if it was a bad trait living inside him too, waiting to grow and make him a monster too?It was the sole reason he hadn't wanted kids, ever, but Bree had come into his life and many things had changed with her presence.She'd made him want things that he had no right wanting, made him be live he deserved some good things in his life and now here they were, with two kids, one of them a boy......just like he'd been."I need you to understand this Ry, you'll never be like your father.

Bree knew that Ryder had gone through a lot growing up, hrll she knew he had had it tough growing up and has dealt with his fair share of traumatic experience, but abuse at ten?That was a lot to digest.It must have been so difficult for him, a different kind of hell even to loose the one person that genuinely loved him and have the other person who was supposed to love him now resort to abusing and molesting him instead.She couldn't stop the tears that rolled down the sides of her face as she listened to him tell it in that voice of his that couldn't choose between indifference, anger and pain.She could imagine him, so innocent, so small, so hurt and yet do afraid of the monster he calls father.No wonder his father snd hers had gotten so along together and had even made it as close friends.They were both bad pedophilic men, cut from the same nasty cloth.".......and just when I thought it couldn't get worse, he started bringing his friends over."Her breath caught in her throat s

Before he got into bed, Ryder had already made up his mind to tell Bree everything that she wanted to know about him and why he turned out the way he did.He didn't want a fight like the last time, that had been an absolute hell, and he didnt want to let his past keep winning.He wanted to get it out there, he needed to.This morning had shown him that, he might never be over those horrid incidents but it would be better to know he tried.And if he had to share it with anyone, then why not her? Why not the woman he was ready to spend the rest of his life with?Even though he hasn't popped the question, he knew that was his truth, he's been ready for that step for a while now and he'd ask her anytime from now."Baby please...."Her voice called his mind back from wandering off.He opened his mouth to, but the words weren't coming, his tongue sat heavy in his mouth, unmoving, while the forbidden images he's fought so hard to keep at bay flooded his head.His hand that held her close sque

Bree didnt know which bothered her the most this night between a tantrum throwing Xander who wouldn't calm down to anything and a Ryder she'd watched all day start to recoil into himself.But she'd be damned if he thought that she'd let him do that to both of them again.Not this time around, no.It was surprising still how fast his mood had swung from after she found him in the sittingroom with the last people on earth she expected to see today.He'd been okay at first, talking with them and even playing smug with her when she'd called him out on knowing they had guests snd not mentioning.But as the discussion in the room had settled more between herself and Larry, encompassing how much things had changed back home from when she left up until now and stuff, she'd noticed the start of his withdrawal. By the time Larry had come around filling her in on what had been decided on the case of her father, Nathan and Brandon, he'd been about ready to combust.She'd noticed, and before she c

The rest of the day passed in a blur for Ryder, centered around the two new men in the house and the babies they came to visit, mostly.It was nice to see Bree around other people that wasn't him and the kids, to see her around her own crowd.She needed this, he knew, because in these past months it's been just himself, the kids and Karen in her life, which wasn'tideal for anyone really.It must have been difficult for her, not having anyone or anywhere to go, especially in the times he'd been an absolute asshole to her and she must have needed someone to vent to, but she'd endured it without complaint.He hated that she had though, she should have said something, done something, but she hadn't and he couldn't even lay the blames at her doorstep now.He'd been all that she'd had here, away from her family, biological and adopted, and he'd fucked up royally.These thoughts and accusations in his head while he watched her bloom like a flower having its first taste of sunshine in a while

The memory of what happened in the bathroom stayed with Bree while she had her soak in the tub and an accompanying nice bath, making her flush every now and again.She never expected it to feel this good again, but Ryder had broken every of her doubts with how easily he'd made her body sing and how intensely he'd made her come.Her legs still felt shaky even after time had passed and she was out of the one room that now held a different memory for her.She'd worried that he didnt want her anymore since the babies came and mentally, she blamed it on her postpartum body and the scar that lined her flesh, the scar that marked her first step into motherhood.And those thoughts had almost made her hate it and herself too.But this morning, barely an hour ago, he'd shown her that she'd been worrying for nothing really.Her body ached sweetly even as she got dressed up, still humming from his sinful ministrations.The room was empty which means he'd taken the babies with him on his way out, s
THE CEO'S PAWN CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO
"Then stay."That sentence, made only of two words, in that moment, sounded more powerful than any argument Ryder could think of.He wanted to, fuck, he's dreamed of staying, like she was asking him to and doing the things she was suggesting, but the fears he'd parroted to her were real for him.He didn't want to hurt her, shes been through enough in recent times to add that to her plate and he knew he might with how rough this could easily turn.She had no idea what she did to him, to his control and without it, he could do things that both of them would only regret later....While his head turned and tossed the pros and cons of indulging their flaming desires and fantasies right now, his eyes followed her body's slow descent until she dropped to her knees before him.She looked like an angel to him, in fact to him she was one, just naughtier and more tempting to his already thin control.Her dainty fingers reached up to the waistband of the sweatpants he had on and he just watched as

"Ryder.......please......"Bree could hardly believe the voice saying these words belonged to her.She sounded so different to her own self and that was probably because it's been a long while since she's had Ryder touch her like this.She was almost beginning to think they'd hit a drought in their sex life before this morning happened.The no sex rule made sense during her recuperation period she could understand, but even before that and then after, he'd still been reluctant to touch her in an suggestive way.It had bothered her enough to make her believe it was because she looked hideous to him now with her scars and all, but the eyes that had taken in every inch of her body just minutes ago had cleared her of worries.He wanted her snd he wasn't hiding that either.She arched her body as his fingers found her other nipple, catching it between his forefinger and his thumb and rubbing it mercilessly till she thought she'd come from the pleasure.Initially, she'd been afraid she might
