Marry me?
Fuck me sideways.
I try catching my breath and try to let all this sink in, this beautiful man wants to marry me and take my daughter as his own. He wants to be a family with us. This is what I have always wanted for Demi and me but never thought we would succeed in getting it. Fuck he wants me to be Mrs. Ryder Phoenix. Will Demi get his last name? Oh shit, we will have to look into that. I am going to say yes. Holy fucking shit balls.
“Mama, you have to say yes, you know that, right”? I laugh at my daughter and smile at her. I see a half empty paint balloon glowing on the floor and walk over to it and dip my two fingers into it and walk back over to Ryder. I see that he has completely removed his denim shirt and his chest and abs take my breath away, like every fucking time I see them.
“You like what you see, baby?” He smirks at me. I don’t answer him and his beautiful face falls a little, oh poor baby. I bring my paint-covered fingers up to his abs and right one word.
YES!
Ryder looks down at his stomach and a big ass sexy smile crosses his face and he fist bumps the air.
“Fuck yeah.” The barn lights come on and he picks me up and swings me around, causing not only me but everyone to laugh and cheer and clap. I can see everyone properly. Hayley and Lucy are crying but smiling at us. Rafe and Reeve come over and hug us both and pat Ryder on the back. Everyone gives us hugs and congratulates us. I feel so safe and loved within this family and I am happy that Demi as them also.
“So that’s two down and one to go. So Reeve when are you getting your Inside Noise?” Nix asks Reeve, who almost chokes on his own air.
“Not gonna happen dude. NEVER. When are you getting yours?” She smirks at Nix.
Nix lets out a little laugh “And what makes you think that I haven’t found her already?” Everyone turns to Nix and he shrugs “What? I don’t have to tell you everything”
“Like hell you don’t, Uncle Nix.” Kenzie pipes in. “Do tell.” She smiles sweetly.
“Fine Miss K. Her name is Amy. We have been dating for about three weeks.” He winks at Kenzi.
“Do I get to be a Phoenix now?” Demi adds in.
“Yes, baby you do. Once Mam and me get married we are going to sort out how to change your last name, ok? Would you like that?” Ryder asks.
“Well duh Dad, I want the same name as you and Mama. God, you old people are so dumb sometimes” She rolls her eyes and everyone laughs. I look down at my hand and take a moment to study my ring; Ryder did good. It’s a while gold band with a circle diamond in the middle with three small lines of diamonds meeting together at the bottom.
“One for each of us, baby.” Ryder whispers in my ear.
Fuck, I love my daughter, my man and my life.
Chapter 23
Ryder
I wake up with the sun streaming through the blinds in our bedroom. Yes, you read right, our room. After I proposed to Letty a month ago I moved in, I was pretty much living here anyway. I moved all my things into Letty’s apartment but we have had a talk about maybe finding a house one day. In the meantime we are happy right here for now. Letty is sleeping soundly next to me and by fuck she looks beautiful as always. I feel my dick harden and I have to have her. Quinn took Demi for the night last night because I took my fiancé out on a date. I wined and dined her and we had a romantic stroll on the beach before we came home and I made her scream my name over and over again. I can still taste her in my mouth and it’s the fucking sweet taste ever.
I slide my hand from her right breast down to her body slowly gliding my fingers down and into her panties. She lets out a small moan and I bite back my own. I slide my fingers between her lower lips and holy shit, she is wet for me already, I love that I can make her this wet even in her sleep.
“Mmmm Ryder, more baby.” Letty moans this time. I moan with her because she feels so fucking good on my fingers and smells even better.
“Morning baby. You like this?” She nods and lets a louder moan out as I apply more pressure to her throbbing clit. I slide one finger into her wet hot core +and then add another as Letty’s breathing picks up the pace. “You want more of my fingers or my dick, baby? You tell me what you want and I will gladly give it to you.” I say, as I pick the pace with my fingers and lick her neck.
“I need you inside of me, Ryder. I want to feel you hard and ready for me, sliding in and out of me. Can you do that babe?” She asks in a sexy husky voice. I roll her over onto her back and slide between her legs. Letty is on the pill so we now go without condoms, Thank the lord. I get to feel my girl all over me. She moans as I enter her and start pumping right off the bat. So much for making love, but shit she feels to damn good. I quicken my pace and Letty’s breathing starts getting heavy. I can feel her inner muscles start to tighten and I pump faster, harder.
“Yes, harder baby. Fuck don’t stop Ryder, please baby don’t stop.” I move us so that I can place my left foot on the floor and lift Letty’s left leg and rest it on my right shoulder and my knee on the bed. This way I give myself more leverage to pump harder and faster into my girl and make her scream my name. “YES, I like that baby, harder!” She tightens around me as her climax takes over and I follow her over; fuck I will follow her anywhere. I collapse on the bed next to her and we both stare up at the ceiling catching our breaths. A giggle escapes Letty and I turn my head to face her.
“What's got you giggling over there, beautiful?” I turn my body to face hers and rest my head on my hand. I take her left hand and smile at the engagement ring I got her and I thank my lucky starts that she said yes to me.
“I am just glad that Demi isn’t here right now. She would have a field day with telling everyone that Daddy was making Mama scream his name.” I laugh with her, then lean over and kiss her swollen lips. I pull back and brush her hair off her forehead and smile at her.
“What are you smiling about over there, beautiful?” She asks me and I give her the full Phoenix smile.
“Just thinking that I am a lucky son of a bitch to have you in my life; I’m thankful that you said yes to spending the rest of your life with me. I am fucking thankful that you allowed me to be Demi’s dad. I know that we don’t share the same DNA but Letty, I see her as my own. When we have children I will never treat them any different than I do Demi; she is my Angel.” Letty lets the tears fall and I wipe them away with my thumb.
“Ryder, we are the lucky ones also. You came into our lives and made it brighter with your whole Phoenix effect. No girl can turn that away.” She winks at me and I kiss her. I slide between her thighs again and enter her in one swift move.
“Shit again, Ry?” I nod. We make slow love to each other, touching and loving every inch of our bodies.
After making love all morning, I have a surprise for Letty. We park the car and I help her out and make our way over to the ‘Inked Up’ tattoo parlor. She looks at me with a smile on her face that again can make any man feel weak at the knees. We walk in and I see my boy Theo walk my way with a huge ass grin on his face. Bastard.
“Ryder, my man, how you been keeping, bro?” I fist bump and do the manly hug thing. I see him eyeing Letty, who is looking at the photos on the wall. I smile at him and he walks over to Letty.
“Hey, beautiful what can I help you with today? You getting your first tattoo?” He looks back to me and winks “Fuck I love virgin skin, man.” Letty just smiles and removes her kimono and she is wearing over a spaghetti strap top. You can see her full sleeve and her star tattoo that is sticking out of the waist line of her jeans. Theo’s mouth hangs open and he is speechless and I can’t help but burst out laughing.
“I can tell you now dude, that she hasn’t got virgin skin and she sure isn’t a fucking virgin.” I wink at him and motion for Letty to come to me. “Come here baby.”
Letty walks into my arms and I lay a big ass kiss on her delectable lips. I pull away and lift my head to look at Theo. “Breathe dude.” I laugh.
“You … caught … her?�
�� He points to Letty and I nod and kiss the side of her head. Letty sticks her hand out to shake his hand.
“Hi Theo, it’s nice to meet you, I’m Letty, Ryder’s fiancé.” That’s when Theo decides to choke; he bends over and places his hands on his knees to breathe.
“Fucking hell, Ry. Not only have you caught the hottest damn woman to ever walk this Earth but you got her to agree to marry you?”
“Yeah, man. I got a stepdaughter out of it as well. Listen man, can you fit us in real quick today?”
“Yeah, dude. No probs, just follow me and we can get something down on paper or do you know what you both want?” I smile at Letty and she nods her head, yes.
I take the piece of paper out of my back pocket and show him. He smiles, looks back at us and motions for us to follow him.
“Take a seat, little lady and I will get this transferred, get the ink set and we can get started.” He leaves us to get everything situated, ready for our tattoos.
“You sure about this, baby?” Without answering me, she fists a handful of my shirt and pulls me towards her, crushing her lips to mine. I hear hollering and cheering from the staff and customers. I place my forehead against hers and smile. “I take that as a yes then.” She kisses me quickly and pulls away as Theo comes back over to us. After setting all the inks up, Theo turns to my girl.
“So where is this going, babe?” I smack him upside the head and growl ‘mine’ and he chuckles but Letty’s eyes fill with lust.
Fuck me, she loves it when I get territorial over her ass. Without taking her eyes off me, she unbuttons her shorts and slowly pulls the zipper down and wiggles them down so Theo and me can see her hip tattoo and her panties. She runs her finger over the top of the stars and I lick my lips wanting to taste her again.
“I want it right here so it looks as if the music note is blending in with the stars and notes already there.” She bites her lip and I can’t stop the growl that leaves my throat.
“Fuck, baby that’s hot. It’s bad enough that you are having my name on you but there? Fuck me.” Both of us are having matching tattoos. We are having a heart with a music note making up one side of the heart and our names making up the other side. Well I’m having Letty’s name and she is having mine.
I hear Theo take a deep breath and shake his head, he looks at me and I nod at him giving him my approval not that Letty needs it. He adds the transfer and I have to say it looks hot. The heart fits perfectly in with the starts and music notes already there. We have the whole tattoo in black ink. It doesn’t take long and Letty’s is complete. Even though I am holding her hand, she doesn’t squeeze or flinch at the pain. My girl is badass.
“You know the after care for this yeah, doll?”
“Yeah, Theo. Thanks honey.” Letty kisses his cheek before winking at me. Little minx.
“Ok bro you're up, next; hit the hot seat dude. Where is yours going?” I grab the back of my t-shirt and pull it over my head. “Right here, dude” I point to my left pec. I want Letty’s name right over my heart where she belongs. I see Letty tear up but she smiles and leans in for a kiss. I suck on her tongue and I hear Theo clear his throat and Letty pulls way.
“Sorry dude, but can you blame me.” I wink at Letty. Theo adds the transfer and he gets to works on adding my three loves in one tattoo over my heart. My heart, music and Letty. Theo finishes up but before he puts the needle down I have one last request.
“I want something added as well. We got time for that, bro?” Theo smirks and nods his head. I sit up and present my left wrist “I want the name Demi written here in a pretty font for my daughter.” I say, while keeping my eyes firmly locked on Letty. I see tears slowly fall from her eyes and I pull her to me. “Babe, you ok with me putting Demi’s name on me?” She nods her head but doesn’t answer. She sits on my lap and I lay my wrist on the arm rest for Theo to get started a thought pops into my head and I am a fucking genius.
“Dude, I know you are good at free hand. Can you add angel wings to either side of Demi’s name and have them almost meet at the top of my wrist? So it looks as if the wings are wrapping around my wrist?”
“Fuck yeah, dude. That will look rad.” He smiles and grabs a pen from a shelf and gets to work. I look into Letty’s eyes and we don’t look down at my wrist until Theo is finished. I feel solution being sprayed over my wrist and I know that Theo is finished. I take my eyes off Letty and look down, I hear Letty gasp and my breath catches when I see it. It’s fucking beautiful, just like my beautiful baby girl.
“Dude, I could kiss you right now. That is amazing, thank you.” He wraps it up and I give him a brotherly hug. Letty kisses his cheek again and hugs him. Theo wipes her tears away.
“Anything for you, both of you. I am just happy that my boy settle down with someone that is worthy of him, that treat him well. If he ever fucks up, baby, you know where you can find me.” He winks at Letty and smiles at me.
“Dick. Hey, we are playing a beach gig down at Max Point tonight, you and the guy should some down and check it out.” I pull my wallet out of my back pocket and I see Theo’s face. “Don’t fucking start man, I am paying and that’s final.” We follow him to the main desk and he takes the money.
“I will see you guys tonight then, it was awesome meeting you Letty.” She hugs him goodbye and we leave.
I open the car door but stop her before she climbs in. I crush my lips to hers and I let our tongues play the beat with our hearts. “Baby I love you, always.” I say when I pull away panting. She gets me hard all the fucking time, she only has to look at me and I’m insta-hard. She runs her hand down my chest and cups me through my jeans.
“Take me home, baby. I want to make love to you before we go and get our daughter.” I smile a big ass smile and she smiles back.
“Fuck baby, I love when you call her ‘our’ daughter.” I kiss her again. “You wanna scream my name again, baby?” She nods and climbs into the truck, sticking her ass out as she does just to make even hotter.
I jump into the driver's seat and make it home in no time and make Letty scream my name over and over again.
We pick Demi up and head over to Max Point. We are meeting everyone there to help set up for the little beach festival that Max is throwing tonight. He has a few local bands performing tonight including a new band that Phoenix Records are looking at signing. Ren found them and I hear they are pretty good. They are called ‘No Fault’ and they are made up of three guys and one girl. I set Demi down as we make it out onto the patio. She takes off running towards Nix, who is standing around giving orders, but he stops when he sees Demi.
“Hey, how’s my Princess doing? Where are your mom and dad?” He asks her lifting her into his arms. She points to us smiling. “Hey guys, you ready for tonight?” He asks us as we approach them. I nod my head in understanding and he nods back. I see Rafe and Reeve already setting up the stage.
“I will be back in a bit babe, I need to help the boys set up.” I kiss her lips and walk over to my brothers. “Brothers” I hug my brothers. I haven’t seen them for three days, as I have been locked away with Letty for the most part. We did spend some time with Demi; we took her out for the day.
“You ready brother? Tonight is going to be epic. New bands are in and everyone is here, man, minus Trin. I hate that she isn’t here but I understand that she had to do what was best for her. Beck has better hurry the fuck up and make amends, brother.” Reeve speaks up, "I know that people are still pissed at Beck but it’s their problem not ours. They have to fix it."
“Dude I know, but it’s up to them and no-one else. Let’s get everything set up and get this beach bash started. I have my two girls to get back too” We set up our set and we head over to our family, who are seated around a few tables. The DJ kicks off the evening with an hour set before the local bands do their sets.
It’s seven thirty and me and the boys head over to the stage for our set. I kiss Letty and Demi and tell them to head up front. My heart decides to kick into ov
er drive as we climb the stage; I take my seat behind my drum kit and look out into the crowd and see my family, friends and my life all together. And I know that I am home.
“Good evening everyone, we are your head line act tonight and we are Inside Noise, just in case you all forgot.” He winks at a few girls in the front. “We are going to play a few tracks of ours and then we have a special surprise for you all tonight, so stay glued to where you are and enjoy the show.”
I count us in and we start with a favorite of ours. It isn’t long before I see the girls and my mom brings Letty and Demi forward. I stand from behind my kit and make my way to Reeve and Rafe, who are standing in the middle of the stage.
“I don’t normally do this but tonight calls for a special type of gig. I recently found my Inside Noise and she is standing here tonight with my other Inside Noise, our daughter.” I smile at my girls. Demi is clapping and waving at me. “Hey Angel. Now, for those of you who have seen us at our gigs know that I don’t sing, but tonight I am, just for my girls. So baby, this is for you and Demi. I hope that I don’t scare everyone away.” Letty winks at me and blows me a kiss and yep, my dick gets hard, fucking A. Reeve sits behind my drum set and Rafe grips his acoustic guitar and we start to sing, ‘Kiss Me Slowly’ by Parachute. I know that Letty loves this band, a big smile crosses her face when she realizes this is the song I am singing to her.
