“Where are Viktor and Gleb,” Cali asks her parents.
“They’re out on business. They send their love and will be in touch with you soon,” Andrei tells her. She nods her head in understanding. “Speaking of business. I have some news on your bakery.”
“Will we be able to reopen soon,” Cali questions.
“Yes, the repairs have gone as planned. Why don’t you take another week and plan a grand reopening,” Andrei suggests.
“That sounds like a good idea,” I tell her. Andrei and I briefly talked about this when we had our meeting with Bull. We’d like to get her to take another week off so we can try to figure out what the cartel is planning. Cali’s eyes bore into me like she’s trying to see inside my mind.
“Your employees will still be paid if that’s what you’re worried about,” Andrei says. She looks back to him.
“Thank you, Papa. I’ll tell my employees. I appreciate all your help,” she tells him.
“Anything for you, printsessa,” he replies. “Now, how about we eat?”
We all stand. Klara and Cali walking into the dining room together, Klara grinning from ear to ear. Andrei and I walk side by side behind them.
“I trust you to take care of her, Ryan.” He pats me on my back.
“Thank you for trusting me, sir. It means a lot,” I tell him. We take our seats at the table. Andrei and Klara are at either end, while Cali and I sit on the same side to be close to each other. If Viktor and Gleb were here, they would sit opposite of us. We’ve had dinners like this when we were younger but Andrei was usually gone away on business. Now I know that business was Pakhan business.
The food is already out on the table but there’s steam coming from it, showing it’s pretty fresh. Taking a closer look, it’s beef stroganoff. Klara used to make this for us at least once a week when we were kids.
“Klara, did you make this on purpose?” I smirk and Cali giggles. She must have had the same thought.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Ryan,” she replies without looking at me. There’s a small smile on her face.
“Mama, you knew this was always his favorite,” Cali says.
“Oh, was it? I don’t recall,” Klara gives us a sly smile.
“It’s also Papa’s favorite meal, right, Papa?” Cali looks to Andrei and he smiles at her. Showing how much he adores her.
“That’s right, milaya.” He keeps it short. We all are eating, keeping the conversation light as we do. We talk about ideas for Cali’s grand reopening and holiday changes for the menu. Her face lights up when she talks about the bakery. It’s her life. I hope we can get this cartel issue dealt with sooner rather than later.
We finish dinner and before Klara can offer us dessert, Cali is telling them we need to leave. We say our goodbyes and promise to come back again next weekend. When we get to the clubhouse, she gets out of the car before I have a chance to open her door for her.
“Is everything okay? Do you need me to walk you back to Minx’s?” I tuck a stray hair behind her.
“Everything is fine. I was hoping we could spend some time together, just the two of us.” She looks at me from under her lashes. We’ve spent a lot of time together this week, but a lot of time was with our friends too.
“I would like that.” I pull her close and kiss her forehead. Together, we walk inside. There are some brothers and cut bunnies in here, but not as many as usual. It’s pretty chill for a Saturday night. Lexus is sitting at the bar. As soon as she sees Cali under my arm, she gives her a look of disgust. Cali isn’t paying attention and thankfully doesn’t even see Lexus.
“Hey, Buster,” Lexus draws out as we walk by. Cali tenses under my arm. “Come find me when you’re ready to have some real fun.”
Lexus and Porscha cackle. Cali stops walking and turns to face them.
“Why don’t you stop being a miserable bitch and quit trying to chase after a man who is clearly in a happy relationship.” She says it as sweet as sugar but the words still have a nice bite to them. I try to hide my laugh. Lexus scoffs and walks out of the clubhouse with Porscha on her heels.
“That’s my girl.” I pull her into my side and kiss her forehead again. I smile to myself. She’s going to fit in perfectly around here.
Chapter Nineteen
Buster
When we finally make it into my room, I turn on a movie. I sit on the edge of my bed and slide my shoes off. Cali had taken hers off as soon as we got in the room and is sitting on the bed, against the headboard.
“Do you need anything before the movie starts?” I glance at her over my shoulder. She shakes her head, a small smile playing on her lips.
“Just you.” She pats the spot next to her. I scoot back until I’m sitting right next to her. She takes the chance to cuddle right against my side. She throws one of her legs across mine, causing her dress to ride up her thigh more. A small groan falls from my mouth and she looks at me.
“Are you okay,” she asks. My dick strains against my jeans. Something about this moment takes me back to when we were younger. Back to the first time we had sex together. That night had gone pretty similar to this.
“Yeah, I remembered something. I’m good,” I tell her. She grins at me but leaves it alone. I’m having a hard time actually paying attention to the movie. All I want is to run my hands all over her body. The thought alone causes my dick to throb. She slides her hand up my shirt, running her hand across my abs. I grab her wrist, stopping her.
“Babe, I’m trying to be good right now but you’re making it hard.” I cock an eyebrow at her and she grins.
“What if I don’t want you to be good?” Her bright blue eyes are shining up at me. I let out a growl and pull her onto my lap so she’s straddling me.
“Don’t say shit like that if you don’t mean it, Sólnyshka.” My cock throbs again. Cali smirks at me and grinds herself against me.
“But I do mean it,” she purrs. She leans down and peppers my neck in soft kisses. I grab her hips, holding her still and roll my hips against her. She moans. Right in my ear. When our eyes lock, I catch a glimpse of a fire in hers. I cup her face in my hands.
“If we do this, there is no going back, Cali. We do this, and you’re mine,” I say. “I’m not going anywhere. This is it.”
Her eyes sober for a split second before the fire is back. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I won’t go any further with her and her not be mine. I was an idiot to leave all those years ago. Somehow, fate brought us back together and I’m not letting her go again.
She nods her head. “I’m okay with that.”
As soon as the last word leaves her mouth, I pull her face to mine, pressing our lips together. I slide my tongue across her lips, causing her to open her mouth slightly. I run a hand through her hair, grabbing it and deepening our kiss.
She moans into my mouth and I feel it down to my dick. Cali pulls away, breaking the kiss and bites my bottom lip. She sits on her knees, pulling her dress over her head and tossing it onto the floor. I can’t take my eyes off of her. She’s wearing black lace underwear with a matching bra.
“You’re so fucking beautiful.” I lean up and kiss her stomach, wrapping my arms around her waist and pull her a little closer so I can kiss on her tits. I unclasp her bra with one hand and she pulls it off, throwing it toward her dress. Her tits are fuller than they were when we were together last. Leaning in, I suck one of her nipples into my mouth, swirling my tongue around it. I give it a light bite making her gasp before moving to the next and do the same.
“Ryan,” she sighs, her breathing picking up. “I need you.”
I let her go, only to take off my own shirt. She stares at me, admiring at all my tattoos, I’m sure. I got a few while I was in Arizona. She runs her fingers across a few of them.
“I love them,” she tells me, staring into my eyes. I give her a light kiss on the lips. I grab her and flip her over so her back is on the bed and I’m leaning over her. I get off the bed and take m
y jeans off. Cali’s eyes never leave me. When I climb back on the bed, she holds her hand up, stopping me.
“What?”
“You forgot something.” Her eyes move down my body to my boxer briefs. I look down and back to her, smirking.
“Oh yeah,” I ask. She nods her head in response. To please her, I take them off and climb back in bed. “Your turn.”
I pull her lace panties down. She pulls her legs out of them and I toss them to the side. I kiss the inside of her leg. Starting at her knee, slowly kissing my way up. I stop at her thigh. I bite it before sucking on it, trying to leave a little mark. She moans as I do it.
“Ryan,” she half moans, half whines out my name. I stop, looking at her thigh. I smile to myself. I left a nice little hickey. I kiss up her thigh to her pussy. It’s already coated with her arousal. I slide a finger inside her, earning another moan from her.
“Fuck, babe, you’re already so wet for me.” I slide my finger out, this time sliding two fingers in. I suck on her clit and move my fingers a little faster. Her walls are gripping my fingers and I stop.
“Why?” She whines, making me chuckle.
“Don’t worry, I’m not done with you yet,” I tell her. I kiss up her stomach, quicker than I did her leg. Stopping at her collar bone and giving her a light nibble. I lick up her neck, kissing right below her ear. I stop and reach over to my nightstand to grab a condom. I look at Cali.
“You still have time to change your mind,” I tell her. She shakes her head.
“I’m not changing my mind. I want this. I want you.” I crash my lips onto hers. This woman has had my heart since she walked into our fourth grade class. I’ve been an idiot and couldn’t own up to it until it was almost too late. I break the kiss, tear open the condom and slide it on. I tease her with the tip and she groans in frustration.
“Ryan, if you don’t,” she says, but I slide my cock into her dripping wet pussy and she loses her words. “Oh my god!”
I still for a second. She wraps her legs around my hips. I let go of her arms and they go straight to my back. I slowly move my hips, pulling halfway out and pushing back in. She digs her nails into my back, turning me on even more. I bite down and suck on one of her tits to keep from fucking her too hard and she digs her nails in deeper. Only when I let up on her tit, does she let up on my back. I move a little faster and a little harder.
“Oh, yes!” Cali moans. I kiss her, our tongues dancing together. Her walls contract around my dick, telling me she’s there, ready to cum. My balls tighten.
“Cum for me, Sólnyshka,” I say in her ear. She explodes around me, shouting my name. I follow with my release right after. “Oh, shit, Cali.”
We’re both panting, out of breath. I’m leaning on my elbows so I don’t crush her with my weight.
“God, I missed you.” I give her a kiss. She holds my face in her hand.
“I missed you, too,” she says quietly. “Shower?”
“Some things never change.” I laugh and she giggles.
We used to shower together a lot back in the day. I slowly pull out of her and stand. I pull the condom off and tie it in a knot. I toss it in my little trash bin, turn back around and pick Cali up, carrying her into the bathroom. I set her down and turn the water on. I push her against the wall, kissing her hard. She moans into my mouth and my dick is already getting hard again. I pull back before I fuck her right there against the bathroom wall. We get in the shower. The water dripping down her skin is going to make it really hard to keep my hands to myself.
Chapter Twenty
Cali
When Ryan pushed me against the wall, I thought for sure we were about to have round two. I would have been okay with it too. I mean, it’s been five years since I had sex. I could never bring myself to sleep with anyone after he left. I never grasped how much I missed it until now. I’ve been missing out!
“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” He pulls me into him.
“A lot, honestly.” I laugh.
“Do you want to talk about any of it,” he asks.
“Hmm.” I tap my finger on my chin. “I would rather do this.”
I push away from him and drop to my knees. His hard cock pressing against me was without a doubt turning me on again. Since he went down on me earlier, it’s time for me to repay the favor and I’m all too happy to. I take his dick in my hand and pump it a couple of times, causing him to groan.
“Somebody seems a little insatiable.” I look at him through my eyelashes.
“Only when it comes to you,” he tells me. I lick the head of his cock, twirling my tongue around it. He moans and clenches his fists. I bring my other hand up to massage his balls.
“Oh, fuck,” he moans out. I slide my tongue along his dick before putting it in my mouth. I suck on his head while running my hand up and down his shaft. His hand goes to the back of my head and he grips my hair. Him pulling my hair, even the tiniest bit turns me on even more. I take him further into my mouth until he hits the back of my throat. I bob my head a few times as I deep throat him. I slowly pull back until only the head is in my mouth.
“Shit, babe, I’m about to cum,” he tells me. I run my hand up and down his shaft again, while sucking on the head. He taps my head to tell me he’s coming, so I take him deeper into my mouth, letting him cum right down my throat. When he’s done, he pulls me to my feet. “That was hot as fuck.”
He slams his mouth on mine, kissing me hard. He grabs the front of my neck, his finger and thumb sitting below my chin, lightly choking me. We have a good, long makeout session that leaves me wanting him to throw me against the wall and have his way with me. Instead, we wash up and finish in the shower.
“Do you need to go back to Minx’s,” he asks once we’ve both gotten dried off.
“No, not unless you want me to,” I say. He tosses me one of his Savage Menaces t-shirts. All he puts on is a pair of basketball shorts, so I slide the shirt on without putting anything on underneath. Easy access for when we go another round.
“I told you once we crossed that line you were mine. There’s no going back now.” He pulls me into him and wraps his arms around my waist, resting his hands on my ass. “If you don’t need to go there then you’re staying here, with me, in my bed.”
His eyes are on my lips, biting his own. He smacks my ass.
“Come on, let’s get some sleep,” he tells me, pulling the blankets on the bed back and climbing in. I turn off the light before sliding in next to him. I get comfortable and snuggle close to him. Exhaustion overcomes me and I fall asleep.
The next morning, I wake up to a note on Ryan’s pillow.
Church this morning. Didn’t want to wake you. Be back asap.
I stretch my arms. Grabbing my phone, I turn the screen on. It’s nine in the morning. I consider getting up and going to Minx’s house but forgot the only clothes I have are the ones from last night. Well crap, I think to myself. I’ll have Emma bring me something from Minx’s.
To Emma: Can you please bring me some of my clothes from Minx’s? I’m at the clubhouse in Buster’s room.
She texts me back almost instantly.
From Emma: Yes. On one condition.
To Emma: Yes, I’ll tell you everything.
From Emma: I’ll be there in five.
I laugh to myself. She is crazy, but she’s my best friend and I love her. After a few minutes or so, there’s a knock on the door.
“Open the door, you skank! It’s your best friend,” Emma shouts. I shake my head, smiling and open the door. “Eeeeeeek!!!”
She comes flying in and I close the door behind her. She tosses a bag on the bed and sits in the only chair in here.
“Alright, so tell me everything,” she says. I grab the bag, glancing inside. I pull out some jeans and panties and put them on.
“We went to dinner at my parents’ house,” I tell her.
“And . . . ? Girl! Tell me the good stuff! You stayed the night with him,” she state
s the obvious. “Did y’all get your freak on?”
I crack up laughing. I quickly slip on my bra under my shirt. I turn my back to Emma and take off the Savage Menace shirt and slip on the Guns and Roses t-shirt she brought me.
“Yeah, we had sex, but that doesn’t matter. We’re together now.” I grab a brush out of the bag she brought and brush my hair.
“The hell it doesn’t matter! Wait, what did you say?” She squeals. “Y’all are together, together?”
“Yup,” I tell her, grinning from ear to ear. It’s nice being able to say we’re officially together.
“Holy shit! This is awesome!” Her reaction is a lot more than what I was expecting from her. “Girl, I’m so happy for you!”
“Thanks,” I reply. She jumps up and hugs me. The door opens and Ryan walks in.
“What’s going on in here?” He has a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes at him.
“Emma brought me some clothes and I told her we’re together now,” I tell him.
“Yeah?”
“Yup, she did! I’m happy for y’all. Now, I’m stealing her away for a few hours so we can hang out,” Emma tells him.
“Oh, so, you think you can come in here and steal my girl from me?” Ryan laughs out.
“She was mine first,” Emma says, sticking her tongue out at him.
“If you want to get technical about it, she was still mine first. We met when we were nine.” Ryan and I both laugh. “It’s okay, y’all can stay in here and hang out if you want.”
“Thanks, babe,” I say to Ryan. I walk over to him, stand on my tiptoes and give him a quick kiss.
“Yeah, thanks, babe,” Emma mocks with a grin. Ryan shakes his head and Emma and I laugh.
“Let me know if you need anything,” Ryan tells me, kisses me on the forehead and leaves the room.
