Larry and Ollie were the most eccentric, unsuspectingly gay men that Ryder has ever been opportune to meet in his entire life and they were way cooler than he'd been expecting too.They were nothing like he'd imagined them in his head and they were way nicer than he gave them credit for.He'd had no idea who the fuck they were when he'd thrown his door open to them because he and Bree were not expecting them for another week or so, but they'd been quick to curb his curiosity with an explanation and then introduction.He wasn't exactly sure that they didnt hate him or at least despise his ass for that time he'd been God awful to Bree who they rather refer to as their girl, he couldn't tell from their expressions, but if they did, they were darn good at hiding it.In his opinion, they were cool dudes who he wouldn't mind getting acquainted to in the long run and he had a feeling somewhere inside that that was going to happen sooner rather than later, thanks to his baby girl.They'd flown
Bree woke up to an empty space next to her, no dips on the bed and no warmth to show that Ryder had spent the rest of his night in their bed, and for a moment it scared her.Not that she didn't trust him enough or something like that, but after everything that's happened between them, she still gets scared every now and again that he could withdraw back into his shell again without warning.No amount of promises have been able to wean her off that fear entirely, though she was making little progress.Shaking off her dampening thoughts, she gently settled her little fire cracker of a daughter on the bed, next to her equally sleeping brother.With her loud voice that can go on and on forever, it wasn't a surprise she had kept them up through last night, her father and twin brother inclusive.She'd finally slipped into oblivion in the earlier hours of this morning, giving everyone in the room a chance to follow suit, which was why she'd been half expecting to find Ryder still in bed with
Coming back to the room after he'd been in the study for a while hadn't been in the plan when Ryder had started working this morning.If anything, he'd had every plan of going to check on Karen and their visitors just to be sure they were fine and didn't need anything, but he'd found himself going upstairs instead.He could blame it on his impatience to break the news of his new contract to Bree or on his thoroughly thought out pretext of needing an aspirin from the medicine cabinet in their bathroom.But either one it was, it saw him up the stairs and back into the room he'd only just left not too long ago.No wonder this working from home thing wasn't exactly working out well for him.He's been so easily tempted by the knowledge that she was only in a next room or something and recently he's found his control wearing thinner and thinner everyday.He'd made it up the stairs and back into the room with the news hanging at the tip of his tongue, but to his surprise, she wasn't in it.It
"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
"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
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 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
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
