Ryder
Page 14
By the time we got back to the house, I was more than ready to tear Ryder’s clothes off.
I didn’t know what had changed inside me, but there was something about reconnecting with my mother that brought out a whole new side of me – or rather, dug up something in me that I had spent so many years burying.
I told myself I was over Ryder. I told myself I didn’t want anything to do with him again. I knew I didn’t want anything to do with the MC, either. I saw it as bad, evil even.
I wanted to live my life without thinking about anything that had to do with the MC or the life that I’d lived growing up. I was saving every penny I could to make that happen.
But then, something changed.
Something changed when Ryder proved to me he would be there for me. He was on my side. He had done what he’d done to protect me, and though it had been hard on me and my mother both, he had only done it because he cared about me.
He didn’t want us to get hurt, and he was willing to put his own life on the line to make sure we didn’t.
So, once we were through the door to my apartment, I locked it. I grabbed him by the hand and half dragged him back to the bedroom, turning to kiss him deeply as soon as we were there.
“What’re you doing?” he asked as he pulled back slightly, looking down at me with a smirk on his face.
“You know what I’m doing.” I was pulling his shirt off as I spoke, and he quickly helped me with my own clothes. We were moving with the same frenzy we always had as we undressed each other, but as we climbed into bed, something changed.
Suddenly, I wasn’t fucking him with a lust-filled desire. No, this was something deeper than that. This was more than just fucking. This was making love. Finally, I was letting the emotions I’d suppressed for so long come forward, and I kissed him in a slower, deeper way.
“Can I tell you something?” I asked.
“What is it?” he replied.
“Promise you won’t be upset?” I pressed.
“Why would I be?” he asked with a smirk.
“I love you,” I said simply. “I know I’ve denied it for so long, but it’s true. I love you, Ryder, and I always have.”
He pulled me close, his cock hard and ready for me. I was wet, filled with the heat of the moment, eager to have him inside me. But, he held me in his arms for a moment, kissing me tenderly before pushing me back on the bed. I spread my legs as he eased himself over the top of me.
“Do you want to know something?” he asked.
My legs were spread, the head of his dick pressed against me. My body anticipated the moment he would push himself inside me, but I wanted to know what he had to say, too.
“What?” I asked.
“I love you, too,” he said with a smile. He didn’t wait for me to reply, but instead pushed his cock inside me. I let out a soft moan, taking him as deep as he could go, letting him split me open with his thick cock.
He pushed deep inside me, holding himself there for a moment before he started to thrust in and out of me. I moaned, dragging my fingers down his back, leaving little trails with my nails as he pushed into me then pulled out again. Teach new thrust left something deep inside me, a feeling that I’d never had before.
There was something about the way we were making love that made me never want it to end. I wanted to keep going forever, I’d never felt such a connection to anyone before. This was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I had a feeling I could.
This was the man I had fallen in love with years before, and this was the man I was going to be with forever. He had said so many times how he felt about me, but I was the one who ran. But, he never gave up. He knew he wanted me, and now, he had proved it.
And now, I knew I wanted him, too.
The connection we felt toward each other was unlike anything I’d ever had with anyone. I couldn’t get enough of him. I moaned, letting him fill me with himself, taking him as much as I could, making the most of each moment with him.
With each new thrust, we were both taken closer and closer to climax, and I knew it would be intense. There was no way it could be anything else, not with the way he was making love to me. I felt like I was the only woman in the world. The only one who ever mattered to him, the only one he wanted to be with. And with the way he looked at me, I knew it had to be more than just a feeling.
We came together, our bodies lurching together as our climaxes ran through us. I let out a moan at the same time Ryder did, his cock filling me with his load entirely. I pulled him into me, holding him tight as he filled me, giving me all he had within him.
The waves running through us both only added to the connection we felt to each other, and I knew without a doubt I had made the right choice tonight. This was the man I wanted to be with, and I knew tonight was just the first night of a very happy life we would spend together.
We lay in each other’s arms for a long time after having sex, but I wasn’t in any rush for it to end. This was what I wanted to do with my life, and I wanted to make the most of the beginning. For too long I’d run from this, and now, now I was the happiest woman in the world.
“Taylor?” Ryder cut through my thoughts, and I looked up at him with a smile.
“Hmm?” I mumbled.
“I have a question,” he said.
“What is it?”
“Promise you’re not going to freak out?” he teased.
I laughed. “Just ask me.”
“Will you marry me?”
I looked at him in surprise. That wasn’t at all what I thought he would say, and I wasn’t sure how to respond. There was no denying the smile that nearly split me open, but all I could manage was a laugh.
“Don’t you think it’s a little soon to be asking me that?” I teased.
Ryder looked at me with a smile I’d never seen before, and he shook his head. He took my hand in his, and then stroked the top of my hand with his thumb.
“Not at all,” he said with a smile. “I’ve been waiting for ten years to ask you that. I think that’s more than enough time to decide.”
I smiled, unable to hide the happiness that was running through me. Finally, I nodded. I knew I couldn’t deny the truth anymore, and the fact of the matter was that I’d been waiting for ten years for him to ask.
“Yes,” I said with a nod. “Yes. I’ll marry you.”
Epilogue – One Year Later
Ryder
“The more the merrier!” Katherine laughed as she opened the door, letting me inside the house. Harley, Knox, Jett, and Blade had come along, and the women in the living room laughed and groaned when they saw us walk in.
Blade’s girl and Jett’s girl were both at the party, and though they acted like they were also put out that we had shown up, I could see the same smile on their faces seeing the men in their lives as Taylor. She might act like we weren’t supposed to be there, but they were all happy to have us crash the baby shower.
We were expecting our first child, and the women of the MC had decided to throw a shower for her before our little one was born. Of course, they were all women who were involved with members of the MC, or they were friends of ours, but it was all the same.
They were happy to support me and Taylor, and I knew she was happy to have the extra things given to us. Our little baby was due just about any time, and to have the diapers and the baby food would be a huge help to us as we started the next chapter of our lives.
We had been married a few months before, right after we found out she was pregnant. Of course, we had been planning to get married for quite some time, so there really was no rush for us to actually tie the knot. I knew I wanted to be with her from the day I had her on her eighteenth birthday.
Hell, maybe even before that. There had always been something about Taylor that made me know she was the one for me. We had been through so much, but there wasn’t any doubt in my mind she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Then, when we had gone through all tha
t with Katherine and Bud, I knew even more Taylor was the woman for me. I would do anything for her, and through that, I finally convinced her that I was meant to be hers all along.
And, she was meant to be mine.
It was the push she needed to see that the MC wasn’t that bad. She was just in the wrong kind of MC under the wrong kind of leadership. When she could see clearly how Jett led us, she could see that there wasn’t anything wrong with the MC itself.
And, she was willing to give the life a shot.
Life with Taylor had been the best thing I could have ever asked for. I had always thought of the MC as my family, but there was something new she brought to my life I couldn’t get anywhere else. She was the one I wanted to spend every minute of every day loving, and I had done that since we had gotten together.
She was everything to me, and I was proud to be able to call her my own at last.
We had been working hard, along with several other members of the MC, to get Katherine set up in a house and back on her feet. She was working hard to get her life back in order, and though it had been a year since everything had happened, she was nearly able to take care of herself entirely again.
We looked forward to her help with the baby when the day came, and I was glad Taylor was able to have her mother in her life once more. I knew the day would come when it would all work out, and now that it had arrived, I was happier than I ever thought possible.
I had finally achieved what I wanted in my life, and now, I could live each day to the fullest, appreciating every moment as though it were my last.
I was with the love of my life, we were starting a family at last, and I was with the Steel Wings, a group of the best men on the planet. This was what my life had become, and I was proud to call it my own.
I would fight for it, no matter what, I was proud. I loved everything about my life, but most of all, I loved my wife. We were meant for each other, that wasn’t even a question.
And, I couldn’t wait to have our family together.
