All Chapters of Mr. Ryan: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

KATEI woke up alone in Nathan's bed and took a shower, wondering how I would deal with that woman. My bags were already in his room; he must have brought them, but where was he?Mary knocked on the door."Good morning!" She was wearing one of Ben's shirts."Good morning! Stephan will love to see you dressed like that," I joked, and she passed by me, entering."I wonder why he's still single. Lisa is so dumb for not accepting to go out with him.""He's a Ryan, and she hates Ryans.""Ah, Ben and Nathan went for a run earlier," she said, taking a seat in an armchair."Seriously? Who goes for a run on the last day of the year?""As long as Ben keeps that toned abdomen, I won't complain. Anyway, what happened yesterday? I thought I heard Nathan yelling. I wondered if you two were having sex or fighting. I bet with Ben that it was wild sex," she said, making me laugh."You have no idea.""What? Did I win the bet

A few months later...KATEI was a bundle of nerves. The past week had been hellish—well, the past month, actually. Even a simple wedding required so much effort. And I was beginning to think that my brilliant idea of abstaining from sex in the last week before the wedding had been the worst I've ever had in my life. That's exactly what Nathan said. And he was right; it made me even more tense, almost driving me crazy. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Just a few more hours.I was never the type of girl who dreamed of getting married; in fact, it never even crossed my mind, not like most who truly dream of that day and see marriage as a life goal. So when Nathan proposed, I had no idea where I would like to get married or how, and that's when the crazy suggestions came in. Lisa suggested a huge party, and Mary said we could simply elope and get married in Las Vegas. I suspected she was planning to do that with Ben if she hadn't already

KATE"Do not disturb us for the next seven hours, unless the plane is crashing," Nathan said to the team waiting for us on his jet."That was extremely rude," I said to him when we were alone. "Couldn't you at least say thank you?""I pay them to not have to worry about that.""You're still the same jerk as always.""And now you're the wife of that jerk," he said, approaching and lifting me in his arms. I wrapped my hands around his neck."What are you doing?" I asked, smiling, as he carried me to the bedroom."Following tradition.""I'm not sure if it applies to airplanes."Closing the door, he walked to the bed and practically threw me onto it, making me laugh, before he started removing his shirt. He wasn't smiling anymore; he had that dark and hungry look that made my whole body shiver."If you really don't want me to tear the dress, start taking it off."I got off the bed and went to him. I slid my han

KATE"Can I come in?" He asked, opening a gap in the bathroom door.I bit my lip, trying to contain a smile, while some mischievous feeling stirred within me."Of course," I replied, turning toward the door.Then he entered, and his eyes focused all their attention on me. I saw him swallow hard as his gaze moved over my body.I was still wearing just black lingerie—nothing simple, something I would wear under my dress tonight.I couldn't help but notice how hot he looked, dressed in an impeccable black suit, with his hair perfectly groomed in a sexy way."It seems you're ready. I just need a few more minutes." I turned my back to him, leaning over the marble countertop where all my makeup was laid out.Staring at the mirror, I pretended to fix the red lipstick on my lips. Through the reflection, I saw his eyes on my behind.*And that's how you play, Mr. Ryan.*"Are you going to wear that?" He approached, sto

KATEI had to fight the urge to simply obey him. A simple command was enough to remind me that just the sound of his voice held immense power over me.I took a deep breath. I knew exactly what he was doing. But I wasn't going to let him win so easily."Was that a request?" I asked, with a teasing smile."An invitation," he replied."An invitation to...?""A bath. What else could it be?" he said, then he circled the tub and got in, which, despite being huge, still seemed small for him.The challenge was implied in his words. It was risky, but it was also too tempting to deny.*Alright, Mr. Ryan, let's play this game. But it's you who will be begging soon.*Without saying anything else, I approached the massive white marble sink and left my stole on it. Then  I removed the gloves and slipped off the dress, letting it fall to the floor around my feet. His eyes watched me closely, holding the glass in one hand.A
