CHAPTER SIXTY TWO
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When Ryder woke up to an empty space next to him, it had scared him because he'd thought something had happened to her, and then it had hurt him to realise she'd probably just ran out on him again.
But he didn't blame her this time though, he didn't have any cutting words sitting sharply on the tip of his tongue and waiting to be spat at her.
He took it as it was, she was still scared of him in that way but he wasn't going to goad her about it this time or bait her with sneers and cruelty, he planned to wait till she was ready.
Climbing off the bed, he stood tall to his full six feet four, stretching out his muscles.
He missed her presence already it was barely hours since he last held her.
A look in the dressing mirror that stood tall in the middle of the room showed how tired he looked even with the hours of sleep he'd managed to get.
It'd been a tough week with everything that's happened, and being back here.....well, what had he been exp

The shrilling sound of the damn doorbell was an unwelcomed distraction in the moment and Ryder couldn't help cursing the damned thing and the person ringing it to hell. Ignoring the intrusion, he shut his eyes against everything else, focusing his attention on his woman and the lips that had oh so beautifully begged for his. But that didn't last as another shrilling sound from the bell had them crashing back to earth. Painstakingly, he broke the kiss, his eyes falling into the alluring pool below his. How did he get do smitten? Stroking his thumb against her damp and sweetly swollen lower lips, he leaned in and whispered in her ear. "If you are having second thoughts, tell me now, little one. If not, we finish this once I get rid of the fucker out front and I won't know how to stop once I start......." His voice trembled with every single emotion he was feeling at the moment but he had no will to mask them, he wanted her to see

Recounting the horrific experience of that night wasn't an easy deal, but Bree had to bite down the revulsion it rose in her while she explained it to Nemy.She didn't want to have the other woman think she was ditching work for a piece of hot man, which was why she was taking the pain to tell her about it.And Nemy was her friend, a good one at that who'd come to check up on her in her absence, she deserved to know what really happened.It shook her though to think about how close she'd come to being violated that night, it had been so close it still felt like yesterday thinking about it now."Oh my God, I'm so sorry babe. I didn't have the slightest of idea of what you'd gone through......I didn't mean to sound insensitive earlier."Nemmy apologized, her face scrunching up with pity she didn't want to see.She didn't fault Nems though, it wasn't her fault and she had no need to apologise, if only she could bring herself to get out of

Ryder had his mind made up as he woke this morning, but as he made his way up the stairs, leaving Bree in the company of her oh-so-chatty friend, he let it solidify in his mind. His bomb has ticked for so long it was about time he set it loose and watch it wipe those old fools out. The only hitch in his incorrigible plan was the Stone account, he was still to get his hands on that piece of information and it was an important piece. The initial plan had been to get it through Bree's system because that would be easier and safer and would eliminate having trails lead back to him before he was done, but he couldn't do that to her anymore. He'd secured that account and dumped it in her lap for the sole reason he couldn't stomach anymore. Now he'd have to find another means, even though it might mean risking the whole point of him being back here and all but she was worth it to him. And he wasn't piqued at the idea of jeopardizing her job a

Bree knew exactly how far she was pushing Ryder and fuck, she wanted to go all the way until he gives up the control he's clinging so hard to.And she was being extremely careful with her hands because she didn't want to send him running in the opposite direction of her like that one horrible night.He must have his reasons for being the way he is and she'd wait for him to tell her when he's ready, but for the meantime she needed what she could get.His masculine scent filled her nostrils, going to her head and teasing her senses.There was just something about it that immensely turned her on.The friction she was generating between them by grinding her core against his hardened length wasn't making it any easier on her need for him.She was so wet for him she feared it could seep through her panties to the part of his denim covering his crotch.The sexual tension in the room and between them was do sizzling it could set anything on f

"That's enough, little one." Ryder groaned, staying the wild movement of her hips against his crotch.She's never looked more beautiful than she did in that moment to him, perfect breast bouncing, her head thrown back and her soft looking lips slightly parted.And his name has never been more beautiful than when she moans it, like it's coming from somewhere inside, like it was a prayer to him.Her wide eyes found his, begging yet defiant and unwilling to let him see more.He could tell she wanted more, and he did too, but it was clear she still feared he might up and call quits on them.Well, she's definitely got nothing to worry about on that one, if anything he's sorry he gave her reason to worry.Lower her head a bit, he placed a tender, lingering kiss to her forehead.That negligible show of affection seemed to surprise her, he could see it in her eyes that she never pegged him capable of any tenderness.He didn't think him

Bree could swear she'd seen the stars as Ryder had promised she would. Fuck, could the man eat a pussy right. His tongue had been all over her and when he'd thrust his fingers inside her, she'd come so helplessly and so wholly she'd thought she'd die. Now all she wanted was to reciprocate the favor. He still had that fire smoldering in his eyes as she watched him remove his remaining clothes, his cock springing up do proudly in its full length as he freed it from the confines of his briefs. He looked so big she feared if it will fit inside her but it excited her at the same time to imagine taking all that hardness inside her pussy, having him fuck her as hard and slutty as his eyes promised. Getting off the bed, she moved slowly towards him, and it was his turn to be confused. He just watched her wordlessly as she made it to where he stood. "Little one...." He said, finally. She didn't bother responding with wor

Bree lay cuddled to Ryder's body, engulfed in the warmth and hardness that was all him, all masculine.They'd exhausted themselves pleasuring each other, and contrary to what she'd read in all those sex books she'd got off the counter of the local store, Ryder hadn't gone limp or tired after the first round.He'd stood proud still, ready to take her to every fucking heights of pleasure and more and in the end, it had been she who'd begged for a break.Not that he'd argued it, he'd been just as spent as her overly sated body was.Even as she lay in the circle of his as, her body still tingled, her nipples still sensitive from the work of his lips on them.Her joints ached from all the position he'd had her in and the lyric 'seven positions in seventy minutes' came to her mind.Letting out a satiated sigh, she snuggled into the curve of his side that perfectly fit her like a piece of a puzzle, her very naked breast pressed against his wa

The door to the annoyingly quiet hospital room burst open, finally bringing some semblance of normalcy in form of sound as three men came in, including Jeffery Mathew who was supposed to be in his nursing home currently.Brandon had waited long enough in this damned room, counting the days and praying for his life and hoping to see these faces come visit.Looked to him like they took their sweet time to finally come around to it, but that was the least of his worries at the moment.No words had been said but he could tell from their faces that something was wrong, and for them to be here it actively involved him.He watched them settle on the uncomfortable looking vistors couch in the room, looking the part.His side hurt as he tried to adjust his position on the bed he was currently on that wasn't half as comfortable and soft as the imported king-sized mattress in his room at home.This one kept his aging back aching and his body sore most

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. You are a good man, one of the best

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

"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
