Jen:
I actually texted him and told him
I couldn’t go out. He was upset.
Ry:
What else did you say, Jen?
Shit. I didn’t want to tell him what I said and certainly not what Jack said back. But, I might as well see how he handles it.
Jen:
I told him I was ‘sort of’ seeing
someone and he got pretty pissed.
He told me “fuck you.”
And….silence. I didn’t get another text from Rylan. I tried to decide if I should call him to see if he was upset about the ‘sort of’ thing. Maybe for him, we were just having some fun and didn’t want our thing to be anything else. I really just said it to save face with Jack for cancelling. Really!
I had a heavy feeling deep in my chest that I couldn’t quite explain or shake. I tried to focus on my work and the afternoon meeting I had with Michael, but it was difficult. I had convinced myself that I’d just take a cab home, since Rylan probably wasn’t picking me up now, and barricade myself in my house with a rather large bottle of wine.
I finished early and left in a cab about four o’clock. I was ready to start my weekend pity party all alone. I walked through my door, dropped my stuff on the bar, made myself a glass of wine and went to run myself a nice hot bath.
I heard my phone ring from the bedroom as I soaked in the tub, but refused to get out and see who was calling. A few texts came through after the call and I started to wonder who might be trying to get in touch with me. Still, I sat in my tub.
Within a few minutes of the texts, my doorbell rang. I was starting to get a little pissed at all the interruptions, but decided I’d ignore the door and pretend I wasn’t home. But, the knocking and ringing persisted.
I got out of the tub, grabbed my short, black satin robe and padded my way to the door. I gasped when I peeked out and saw Rylan pacing and running his hands through his hair. As I started to open the door, Rylan yelled my name at the sound of me rattling the handle. He sounded panicked. I jerked to door open at the same time he came barging in.
He grabbed me around the waist with both arms wrapped around me and picked me up off the floor, burying his face into my neck.
“Jen! Oh, God, babe. Why didn’t you wait for me? Why haven’t you answered my calls or texts?”
He put me down on my feet and cupped my face. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” He was throwing all these questions at me in rapid fire succession. When I looked right into his eyes, I saw fear.
“Rylan. I’m fine. What are you doing here?”
“What do you mean? I was supposed to pick you up and when you didn’t come out at five, I went in to find you and some girl told me you left early. I don’t understand.”
“Rylan, why didn’t you text or call me after the conversation about Jack?” Might as well get to the point.
“What? I don’t know. I guess I got distracted with being completely pissed off.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Listen, thanks for coming by to check on me. I made it home just fine.” I started walking toward the door, indicating that it was time for him to leave.
“Wait,” he said as he grabbed my forearm forcing me to spin around and look at him. “What’s going on? Why are you acting like this?” He seemed confused.
“Look. I shouldn’t have told Jack that I was involved with someone. Even though I didn’t tell him your name, it’s obvious that it bothered you. I didn’t mean for it to piss you off and I had no intentions of telling him about us….you.” I pulled my arm away and said, “I’m sorry I upset you.”
I turned toward the door again and suddenly felt my whole body lift off the floor. Rylan was carrying me….into the kitchen.
“Rylan! What the hell are you doing?” He plopped my bare ass on the cold granite countertop, stepped between my legs and placed his hands next to my hips, pinning me where I was.
“Shut up, Jen! We need to get a few things straight, right fucking now!”
Shocked, I sat there wide-eyed, staring at his beautiful face.
“First of all, I’m still a little confused so let me see if I have this correct. When I texted you about Jack, you thought I was pissed….at you…about what you told him?” I just shook my head ‘yes.’
“Right. And then, when I didn’t call or text back you just assumed this….” He was waving his hand between us “….was just over and that I would just walk away and not say a fucking word to you?”
Again, I shook my head ‘yes.’
“Fuck.” He said as he let out a huge breath and closed his eyes for a second. He placed his forehead on mine and I just sat there.
He leaned back and looked into my eyes. “Baby, let me tell you a few things. I’m not some douchebag guy that just stops talking to someone I care about as a way to break it off….let’s just get that straight right now.”
I shook my head.
“I was in no way pissed at you! I was pissed off because I heard him spouting shit around the office as soon as he walked in this morning. He was foul and rude to everyone and throwing ‘fuck’ around with every sentence he uttered. I texted you because I wondered if you were the cause of his mood….and not because I was upset about it. Hell no! I was fucking ecstatic that you broke your date.”
I just stared at Rylan’s face and didn’t say a word.
“I was just curious as to what you told him. That’s why I asked. To know that you told him you were ‘sort of’ seeing someone and that someone was me….even if he didn’t know it, you were thinking it, and that made me so happy. Then, the whole ‘fuck you’ from him about you had me crazy pissed. Baby, my emotions were all over the place.”
I just looked into his eyes and listened. “I should have called you back, but I needed to deal with something and then I had a little chat with Jack. By the time I realized I hadn’t responded to you again, it was nearly five and I thought I’d be picking you up.”
He cupped my face then continued. “And, let’s get one thing perfectly clear….you are NOT ‘sort of’ seeing someone! Understand? You are absolutely seeing someone and it’s me! You are my girl, Jen! I knew you had to be mine the first time I saw you and even though we’ve only known each other a short time, you are still absolutely seeing ME! So, Jack can go fuck himself.”
I grinned and leaned in to kiss his lips and he attacked mine. “I’m sorry.” I whispered around our kiss.
“Baby, don’t be sorry. I should have been clearer with you. But, please don’t scare me like that again. I was going nuts looking for you. My heart can’t handle that.” Oh, God.
“Neither can mine.” I said softly.
“Jen, you’re mine. Okay? I can’t stop thinking about you, can’t stop wanting you and I won’t share you.”
“Okay,” I answered and he gently sucked my bottom lip into his mouth making me feel tingly.
Rylan leaned his face back from mine and said, “Jen, please tell me you are not completely naked under this robe?”
“Maybe.” I teased.
“I was so crazy coming in here that my brain is just now catching up with what you’re wearing. What were you doing naked in the middle of the afternoon, babe? And, why in the hell were you answering your door dressed like this?” He was trying to be a little pissed, but his face was full of lust.
“Not what you think. I was taking a hot bath. And, I did look through the peephole to see who it was. I’m not a dumbass.” I grinned.
He smirked, raising one eyebrow and said, “Bath huh? That just put delicious visions in my head.”
I laughed, throwing my head back then pulled his face to mine. “I really am sorry for worrying you today.”
“I’m sorry too. For being a moron.” He smiled and I reached down with one hand and untied my robe, letting it hang open just enough to see my breasts peek out.
Rylan took a deep breath and leaned down to take one of my nipples into his mouth. “So beautiful.”
I leaned back
slightly and stretched my arms behind me to support myself on the counter. That made my robe fall completely off my shoulders and pushed my breasts up to Rylan.
He continued his wonderful caress of both breasts and moved his hand down to my core. “Jen….”
I rubbed my foot across his erection and he moaned. He grabbed my hips and pulled them forward to the edge of the counter. He looked at me with hooded eyes before moving his face down between my thighs. I laid back further on my elbows and watched as Rylan began to slowly lick between my folds. He lifted my legs and put them over his shoulders as he claimed me with his glorious mouth. I wanted to grind against his mouth, but couldn’t move in the position I was in. It made his assault so damn sexy and erotic. I actually enjoyed being trapped like this by him.
“Jen. Watch me, baby.” I looked down at him and watched as he claimed me with his mouth. I couldn’t take my eyes off what he was doing. Within minutes, I was pulsing around his tongue and he moaned as he continued to suck on my clit and watch me come.
“Ry….oh God.”
“I know, baby. Hot as hell to watch, isn’t it?” He helped me off the counter and carried me over to the rug near my fireplace. His cock looked like it was about to rip through his pants.
I laid there, wide open just waiting for him to take me again. I started to caress my own breasts as I watched my hot man undress and release his rock hard cock. “Jen…you look absolutely gorgeous laying there, wide open for me.” I smiled and watched him look at my entire body waiting for him.
He kneeled down to me and sucked one breast, grazing it with his teeth and started to push into me, but I pushed his chest and said, “Roll over, baby.”
He laid on his back and watched me as I stood over him then sank down on his massive erection, taking him all the way to the hilt. We both gasped at how much deeper he felt like this. I stayed upright and started riding him. His mouth was agape as his pleasure was consuming him.
“You feel so good, baby.” I moaned.
He couldn’t talk. He just said “Mine!”
I smiled as he claimed me again. I loved every way Rylan claimed me.
I hissed as I felt him grow inside of me right before his release. His cock twitching in me had me coming right along with him. I rode him, milking everything out of his body and into mine. It made me feel sexy and wanted.
As we slowed our breathing down, Ry said, “You think we’ll be able to leave here to go out tonight?”
I laughed and said, “Maybe. But right now, I just want to think about what I’m feeling this very second.”
“Oh yeah? And, what’s that, baby?”
“I feel wanted. Kind of a new feeling for me.” I said shyly.
Rylan sat up to wrap his arms around me, our bodies still connected. “Yes, baby. You are absolutely wanted….by me.” He kissed me gently and I couldn’t help but to slowly grind myself against his semi hard penis still in me.
We made sweet love….yes love was what I felt. Then, we got up and took a shower together. I was falling fast for my wonderful man.
Chapter 20 – Rylan
I couldn’t believe everything that I was feeling about Jen. I was scared shitless and trying not to show it. I certainly never wanted to tell her how afraid I was. It was my hang-up and it really had nothing to do with her. It all had to do with the guilt surrounding Kristen. Tonight was going to be an incredible test for me, but I was ready for it….a least that was what I kept telling myself.
After our incredible afternoon and our conversation, I was feeling a little more secure about meeting Romyn and Mia at the club. The feeling that I should have prepped Jen a little more about my life kept niggling at me. I didn’t think that my brother or Mia would say or do anything that might upset her, but things slip out sometimes and I wasn’t sure she was ready to here all the details about my life with Kristen. That was a subject for another time.
Difficult as it was, we stopped groping each other long enough to dress and leave for the club at eight o’clock. I was grateful I had packed a change of clothes that morning in case I ended up not going back to my house after dropping Jen off after work. Good thinkin’ ole boy!
Jen seemed a little nervous on our drive, so I slipped my hand into hers and intertwined our fingers as she looked out the window. She looked down at our hands then up at me and smiled.
“Whatcha thinking, babe?” I asked”
“Nothing really. Just sort of letting my mind drift.” She was lying. It was pretty obvious.
“Jen. They will love you. Okay?”
She smiled, but it was just a reflex. She didn’t say anything and turned back to look out the window. I lifted her hand and kissed the back of it, but she didn’t look at me.
We pulled into the parking lot and made our way inside, stopping at the bar to get a drink. As we approached the table where Romyn and Mia were sitting, I heard Mia gasp and put on a huge grin. Bazaar.
“Hi guys.” I said as we approached. Mia stood and hugged me as Ro and I shook hands. “This is Jen. Jen, my much uglier brother Romyn and my gorgeous sister-in-law Mia.” They all laughed and Mia leaned over and gave Jen a hug. I heard Jen take in a sharp breath.
“Oh my gosh. It’s so nice to meet you, Jen.” Mia glanced at me and I saw unshed tears in her eyes. I shook my head slightly at her letting her know she needed to control her emotions. She blinked back at me and gathered herself as the embrace ended.
“Right. Nice to meet you, Jen. How’s this brother of mine treating you? Good, I hope?” Romyn….such the charmer.
Jen laughed and said, “Yes, he treats me very well. And, it’s great to meet you both. Ry has told me nothing but good things about you two.”
I saw Mia’s face and heard her shocked breath at the sound of Jen calling me Ry. Fuck! She needed to get her shit under control before Jen noticed all the emotional reactions Mia was having to my new relationship.
We all sat down and I flagged the waitress over for more drinks. Yeah, we hadn’t even finished the ones from the bar, but I needed more…and fast.
“So, Jen. Rylan tells me you work for the competition?” Thanks, Ro. He’s always good at finding some bullshit to talk about to fill the empty space.
Jen laughed and said, “As a matter of fact, I do. I’m just waiting to make my move and steal some of his clients.” Romyn chuckled loudly at my shocked face and clapped me on the back as I choked on my drink.
“Dude, I like her already. Give him a run for his money, girl.” Romyn was just hilarious.
I looked at Jen’s face and she was working to stifle a laugh. She placed her hand on my knee and squeezed before winking at me. She was so full of crap and I loved it.
I placed my hand on hers and leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that one, baby. Just you wait till we get back to my place.” She shivered a little then looked over into my face and I saw her desire flash through her eyes as I gave her a wicked grin.
The normally chatty Mia was just sitting and staring at the two of us. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were telling a different story. I think she was sad or worried….something. I didn’t want to think on it too much, but I needed her to snap the hell out of it…..and fast.
“Mia, when are you guys headed back?” She paused for a few seconds then snapped her eyes away from me to Jen as she registered Jen’s question.
“Our flight leaves tomorrow.” Finally, speak, woman, speak.
“You guys are living in Scottsdale, right?” Mia shook her head at Jen’s question. “I have a good friend from college that moved there a few years ago.”
“Really? You didn’t tell me that.” I said.
Jen looked at me and said, “Yeah. Well, I didn’t know your brother and Mia were living there so I guess there wasn’t a reason to bring it up.” Smartass.
“True,” was all I could say. She was right.
We chatted for a bit as we sucked down our drinks. Mia was really quiet, but kept up a small conversation
with Jen. It was mostly Ro and me that filled the evening with chatter. I didn’t have the energy to dwell on why Mia was acting strange. I assumed it had something to do with seeing me with someone new.
I turned to Jen at one point and said, “Let’s go dance.”
“Sure.” She seemed to be handling things well. She appeared comfortable and relaxed.
We moved to the dance floor and I circled my arms around her waist. “Hi.” I said as I leaned into her ear.
“Hi yourself.” She rubbed her sexy body against mine and I grinned.
“Mmm…you feel really good against me, baby.” I said and she pressed into me more as we moved to the slow sensual sound of the music.
“Your brother and Mia are really nice. Thank you for bringing me here to meet them.” There was something in here voice that made me lean back and look into her face. Her eyes looked a little sad even with the smile on her face. It made my heart skip.
“You okay? Something wrong?” I was almost afraid to ask.
“I’m fine.” She snuggled her face into my neck and kept dancing.
We danced for a few songs, not saying anything else. She felt amazing moving with my body. We fit perfectly together.
When the song ended, I took her hand and started to walk us back to the table. Jen tugged and said “Bathroom.”
I smiled, kissed her hand and said, “Okay.”
When I reached the table, Mia was gone and Ro was ordering another round of drinks. “Where’s Mia?”
“Bathroom.” I nodded my head and sat back in my chair, taking a long swig of my beer.
“I really like her, man. Things going well with you guys?” I knew this conversation was coming from Ro.
“Actually, yes. I feel like I’m waking up after one hell of a long sleep.” I paused. “I really like her, too.” Romyn just smiled and nodded his head. He wasn’t much of a talker and I was grateful.
We sat a talked about both our jobs, leaving the ‘Jen’ conversation where it was until the girls made their way back to our table several minutes later. As a matter of fact, they had been gone for almost twenty minutes.
Immediately, I noticed the look on Jen’s face. I could have sworn she had been crying. I stood up as she got closer and said, “What’s wrong, babe?”
