I sit back down at the table, "How uncomfortable are you?" Tyler laughs. I down my next drink as I watch Riley touch Jesse's chest and whispers in his ear.
"Uncomfortable is a delight compared to how I feel."
"She really has a hold on you, doesn't she? I hadn't notice before, I don't know how you walked away."
"Neither do I," I sulk. Jesse kisses her cheek and I get to my feet but Tyler gets up and pushes me back down.
"I'll go, I don't need you pouncing on her because you can't control yourself," I roll my eyes and he walks towards her. I look at Riley and she's now sat on the pool table. Jesse slides his hand up her leg pushing her dress higher and I growl. Don't touch what is mine! Tyler seems pissed as he talks to her. He pulls her off the table and she holds her ribs as he pulls her to the bar.
They look as though they are arguing but I can't hear what they are saying, it's loud in here. She pulls away from him and walks back to the guys. She walks to Jesse and cups his face. I've fucking had enough. She can't touch other guys in front of me and she can't seduce me without consequences.
He leans towards her as if to kiss her and I quicken my steps. I grab her from behind and pull her away from him. I spin her around and toss her over my shoulder. I've had it with today and I'm not taking any more crap! I grab her jacket from the bar, "We are leaving," I growl at Tyler who's still at the bar. Riley struggles against me as I hold her ass with one hand.
"I'll get Ruby and we can go back to her apartment. Watch a movie or something," Tyler says. I nod as he passes me the keys and I start walking out of the pub. I'm surprised I'm so steady on my feet. I don't know if her seduction or my anger sobered me up a bit.
"Flynn, you're hurting me," she protests. I shift her further on my shoulder so her hips are pressed on my shoulder and not her ribs. I walk towards the car ignoring her, I'm so fucking pissed right now. I unlock the car and I lob her in. I'm too angry to worry if I hurt her. I mean, jeez, I'll be treating her like a baby compared to him.
She can take that so she can handle my rage. I slide in and toss the keys on the front seat. I put her belt on and do the same with mine. She starts shimming her dress up again and I hold her thigh and she stops torturing me. If she wants me to fuck her, she fucking has it. I just need to get her alone.
Moments later Tyler and Ruby get in the car. "I'm sorry babe. My sister is more trouble than she's worth sometimes." Tyler says as he drives home.
"My brother is a jackass. . . and you should. . . stay clear," she growls. Tyler glares at her in the rearview mirror.
"Ri, shut up," I warn her. She's really testing me tonight. Was she always this hard work? She starts fumbling with her seatbelt. What is she doing? I grab her hands and she struggles against me. "Ri, stop fighting me," I pin her wrists together with one hand and then replace my hand on her thigh.
"Are you okay, Riley?" Ruby asks.
"I'm good, Ruby. Thanks for your . . .help yesterday," she croaks. Her voice sounds worse again. Has she been taking painkillers?
"I wouldn't have left you if I had known. I'm sorry," she says guiltily. Well, I think he wouldn't hesitate to hurt Ruby so, it was probably a good thing. Tyler doesn't need his sister and girlfriend injured by this guy.
"You did enough," she reassures her. "Flynn. . . let me go." I roll my eyes and release her wrists and she makes no move to remove her seatbelt.
"How could you be so stupid to go out on your own, Lee?"
"You all left me. . . I thought. . . I wasn't allowed to be on. . . my own."
"I thought Mom and Dad were with you," he shrugs. I did too or I would have returned. Why didn't Abigail tell me she left?
"You knew they were going home today."
"You don't even seem worried though."
"Why should I be? JJ wouldn't. . . kill me, he loves me. He wants. . . to be with me," fucking hell. Why does she keep repeating this shit! I grip tighter to her leg. She's mine and I will show her later.
"You're like a broken record, sis. Give it a rest, already," Tyler pulls up at the apartment and she's unbelted and out of the car before he's cut the engine. What is her problem tonight? She heads towards the building. "What the fuck is wrong with her today?" he growls when we are out the car and he locks it.
We follow after her and the elevator doors open and we all quicken our pace and she presses the button on the inside. The doors start to close and she disappears from view. "Would you forgive me if I fuck her into submission? She's pissing me off!" I growl.
He chuckles, "Does that work?" he asks. The doors open minus a Riley and we step on.
"Yes, yes it does," I agree. The doors close and they both laugh.
"Still can't see it," he shrugs. The doors reopen and we walk to her apartment. I find her key and open the door. She's sat on the sofa with her feet on the sofa and her knees in the air. "Ri!" I growl. "You really are testing me today."
She ignores me and turns the TV on. She turns the volume up really loud. She's being so childish today. "Lee!" Tyler shouts. I roll my eyes and I walk to the sofa and I grab her wrist with the remote in and I prize the remote away from her. I turn the volume down and she sulks.
"Your sister is so annoying," I say and climb over the back of the couch and sit down next to her before she causes more trouble. They both sit on the couch with us.
"Tell me about it," he agrees and puts his arm around Ruby's shoulder and she cuddles up to his chest. I hate how he can be with her so easily. I want to be able to touch my girl that freely. "I'll order food," he announces.
"I'm good," Riley protests.
"You need to eat, did you have lunch?" Tyler asks.
"No, it hurts."
"Soup for you then," he pulls his phone out of his pocket. "Babe, what do you want?"
"I don't want soup!" she protests. She goes to stand up but grab her ankles and pull them over my legs. She squeals but doesn't withdraw. I hold her legs protectively and she seems to settle down somewhat.
We order food and we watch the film Riley put on. She curls up to me as I hold her legs. When the doorbell goes Riley jumps out of her skin. I stroke her hair trying to calm her. Tyler gets up, "Ty," she whimpers and he looks at her. "Check the camera first."
"It's not him, Lee, it's the food." She shakes her head and he sighs, "I'll check it," he walks to the door and she clings to my top.
"Ri, calm down. I'm not going to let him hurt you even if he was at the door," she looks up at me and frowns.
"You think that's what. . . I'm worried about?" I frown. She gets up and storms off into her room. I groan and follow her as Tyler opens the door. She shuts the door in my face but I walk in without hesitation. She's curled up on the bed when I walk in.
"Ri," I say softly. "What are you worried about?" I walk towards her and slide in behind her and hold her.
She turns in my arms and I stroke her hair out of her face, "He loves me," she whispers.
"No, he doesn't, that isn't love."
"He thinks he does. Which means, he won't hurt me. But. He could hurt you. Or Tyler."
"He fucking did hurt you. Stop defending the guy. He's a psycho."
"Exactly. He could take you. Away from me. Then where would. . . I be?"
"Do you know how insulting you're being? I've never lost in a fight, Ri. I'm not going anywhere. Now please, stop calling him your boyfriend because it pisses me off. You are mine."
I kiss her softly and I climb on top of her careful not to put too much weight on her ribs. She groans and I need more. The bedroom door opens and she flinches underneath me. "Bro!" Tyler growls and I grumble rolling onto my back.
"You're killing me," I groan. I climb off the bed and I hold my hand out to Riley and she takes it. I hold her hand and lead her to the couch. She places her legs on my lap again. Tyler gives Riley her soup and she still keeps her legs over mine. Tyler passes my chow mein and I dig in. Once we've all got our food we start watching the film again.
"You want some?" Tyler says and I look at him and he's looking at Riley. He holds the dish out in front of him as an offering. I catch her shake her head. "Bloody hell, that must be a first."
"Hurts," she protests.
I look at her and she's not touched her soup. "Ri, please eat," I urge. She shakes her head, "Have you taken any painkillers today?" she shakes her head. Fuck sake, they said it's bad for her heart if she's in pain. I get my phone out.
ME- Did they give her painkillers when discharged? X
ABIGAIL- Yes, I told her to take them at 2 pm. They are in the kitchen draw, closet to the door. Is she okay? X
ME- In pain and won't eat. She left the apartment on her own. Luckily she ended up in the same bar as us. I thought you'd tell us when you left. X
ABIGAIL- Sorry honey, she said she was fine and she wanted to be alone. I should have told you. X
ME- She's more emotional than normal. Freaking out one minute and being annoying as hell the next. X
ABIGAIL- Isn't that normal for my daughter? :) X
ME- Not to this magnitude. See you, tomorrow Mom. X
ABIGAIL- Can't wait, honey. X
I smile and Riley withdraws her legs and I look at her. "What?" I ask.
"If you have somewhere. . . better to be. Don't let me. . . stop you." She's jealous, why? Fucking hell. I get up and put my food on the coffee table and walk out of the apartment and walk next door. She's pissing me off. I go to my bedroom and change into a clean hoodie and I keep the old one in my hand. I walk back to her apartment and they all stare at me.
Riley has tears running down her face. Why is she crying now? She was pissed a second ago. "Bro, don't do that."
"What did I do?"
"You left and she actually thought you were going."
"Fucking hell, you all know my feelings. There is no one else and never will be. I was going to get another hoodie to help with your insecurities." Riley wipes the tears with the back of her hand and smiles. I shake my head, I don't understand this girl.
I walk to the kitchen and find her painkillers and grab a bottle of water from the fridge. I walk back to the couch and sit down. I take her soup and place it on the table next to mine. I help her into my hoodie and she looks happier. "I was texting your Mom. Don't be so paranoid."
Tyler laughs, "Should have known," I look at him and roll my eyes. I take out her prescribed dose and I go to slide them in her mouth but she shakes her head.
"Ri, you need to eat and you can't without pain killers." She shakes her head again. "Ri, I'm really going to lose my shit today." She still protests and I sigh. I stroke her cheek and I swiftly shift her weight so she's laying on the couch and she squeals. I prize her mouth open but she's not protesting at all. I slide in the meds and I pass her the bottle and she brings it to her lips and sucks on the bottle whilst she looks into my eyes.
Fucking hell! I look away and I catch Tyler's laugh. She removes the bottle from her mouth and I look back at her. She opens her mouth wide to show she's swallowed them. "Was that so hard?" I help her sit up and I pass her the soup back.
"Carrying her out the pub and forcing her to take her meds when she didn't want to. Have you got a death wish or is Riley mellowing in her old age?"
"Riley mellow? Hell, I thought she was being harder to handle," Tyler laughs and Riley punches me. Ouch, that hurt. She gasps and I think it hurt her too. "Don't do that. You'll hurt yourself." I pick up my food and start eating again.
We interact with Ruby tonight and I like her. She's good for Tyler, she's smart and easy-going. She seems to be a good person not bitchy or arrogant. An actual decent human being which is different from his usual victims. Riley seems to like her too and she's eaten her soup once the painkillers kicked in.
It's getting late and Riley's eyes are drooping. She can't fall asleep, I need her to be fully awake with what I plan to do later. She's very restless curled up on me. I'm surprised Tyler is letting her cuddle up to me anyway. "I'll take you home, babe. You're tired," Tyler says. Ruby nods and stands up. Tyler gets up after her and he walks and turns on the lights.
Yes, Tyler blows Riley a kiss and holds the door for Ruby and then they are gone. I move Riley to lean against the couch and I get up and I bolt the door. Can't have Tyler walking in on what I have planned and I'm sure Riley will be more comfortable if the door is locked.
I walk back to the couch and lift her into my arms. I walk towards the bedroom and flick the lights off as I go. I set her on her feet, "I've warned you about teasing me before, Ri," I whisper into her ear. I walk behind her and her breathing accelerates and I smirk. I haven't even touched her yet. I move her hair away from her neck placing soft kisses. I need to touch every inch of her skin to reclaim what is mine. I need my touch to overpower his and I remember him kissing her neck so I'll start here.
"Your whole little game is going to backfire on you, Ri." I grab the bottom of my hoodie and I slowly lift it over her head and discard it on the floor. I undo the strap on the nape of her neck. I loved removing this dress last time but it wasn't instant gratification. I had to wait to fuck her but this time nothing is going to stop me. Unless she does. Fuck! She won't say no, will she?
She was a mess when those fuckers raped her. Will this be the same? If I consume her she won't be scared, will she? I slowly slide her dress down her body, skimming my fingertips on her skin as I go. So fucking beautiful. She squirms under my fingertips, so responsive. I kneel behind her and pull the dress down her legs. I can never get enough of this girl. I'd always get bored of the same girl but her, every time I claim her it's different. She excites me more than anything.
Once the dress is at her feet I grab her hips and I spin her to face me and she looks down at me with the blue eyes. She's trying to shine but she hesitates. One day they will shine so bright it will blind me. I take in every inch of her as she stands in her heels and panties. I have missed being so close to her. I slide my fingers in the waistband of her panties and her hips push forward. Patience baby, I am savouring you.
I slide them to her ankles and they are stopped by her shoes. I undo the straps on her shoes and she steps out of them. I grab her hips and stand as I carry her to the bed and ease her onto it. She lays on her back looking up at me whilst I stand by the bed. "Say yes, Ri. Give me full permission," I need her to say it. Her body wants me but after James, I need her to tell me. I bite my lip, I'm too far gone to control myself. I bite my lip to fight the urge as I pull my hoodie over my head along with my top.
Her eyes lower to my abs on display and her eyes are full of desire. Why stop there baby? I undo my jeans if she wants to admire me then so be it. I kick off my jeans waiting for her permission. Come on, I'm dying here. I need to reclaim you, kiss every inch of you. I need to devour you. "Well, what's it to be, baby? I won't touch you unless you say yes, Ri." I really fucking need to.
"I . . ." she croaks. "We can't," she frowns. Because of James or the no sex rule? If it's James then fuck him. I don't care about his threats.
"You should have thought about that before you tormented me at the bar. Say you don't want this and I'll walk out that door and get in the cold shower. Say yes and I'll take you to your safe haven," it will have to be more than a cold shower. I'd need to get myself off but it won't be the same.
"Yes," she whispers. My heart skips a beat at my excitement. I quickly kick off my boxers and climb on the bed over her. I don't put any weight on her in fear of hurting her ribs. I crush her lips, kissing her. Showing her how much I fucking love her. She matches my every movement. I use my piercing to excite her and she purrs into my mouth. Who knew a tongue piercing would be such a turn on.
"You had better tell me if I hurt you," she nods and I kiss her neck again. No matter how many times I kiss it I'm never sure if it's enough to overpower him. How much does he linger on her skin? I trail my kisses to her collarbone, her skin is so soft beneath my lips. Her skin starts off cold then it burns my lips when I remove them from her skin.
I keep going to her tits. I need to burn his touch off her skin. This is working. I wrap my lips around her hardened nipple and she calls out. Scream all you like baby, no one can hear you except me and I love it. I suck and graze her nipple as I slide my hand down her body to her leg and I pull her leg out, exposing my destination.
I slide my fingers inside of her and my breath gets caught in my throat, I never expected her to be this wet for me. She calls out again, "Flynn," she gasps. Her hands grip the sheets trying to absorb the pleasure.
"You're so wet today, baby," I graze her nipple with my teeth and she pulses around my fingers. Already? Really? I watch as she comes underneath me. She's fucking adorable. "Christ, Ri, that was too quick." I withdraw my fingers. If she's going to be this quick I need to claim her quickly. Was she left frustrated when he entered her? Did she feel anything? Did he treasure her as I do? Or did he literally just fuck her?
Did he finger her first to see if she was wet? Or did he fuck her dry? Stop overthinking things, Flynn. Savour her! I ease myself into her and I growl, I still feel her pulsing around my cock. She throws her head back and grabs my backside and pulls me closer to her. I have to quickly adjust myself so I don't fall on her. I don't think she realises how strong she is.
I don't want to hurt her, I start to move inside her once I know I'm not going to be overwhelmed by her pulsing. I'm not finished with her yet. Her pulsing dies down as I thrust over and over. I slide my fingers into her mouth, "Taste how sweet you are." She sucks and licks my fingers and I growl. Fuck, the things this girl makes me feel. I nearly came on impact. "I love you, so fucking much." I withdraw my fingers from her mouth.
Our breathing is erratic as we are caught up in each other's spell. I feel her climbing already and I still for a moment. Not yet baby, if you go I'll definitely go with you and I haven't finished. I pick up the rhythm again. There is never enough time with her. If I can have one wish it would be to stay with her like this for the rest of my life.
As I make sweet love to her I think of the future I want. I want her as my wife, I want Miley with us as a family. I want a family with her. I want her to be the mother of my kids and only her. I know she wants kids and I want to give it to her. I want to make her dreams come true. I want to demolish her nightmares and replace them with dreams. "Please. . . don't. . .leave me," she begs.
I look down at her, I can't promise that baby. I want nothing more than to never leave you but I'm dangerous for you. I love how she never wants me to leave either. I thrust harder into her, I need her but someone has other plans for us. They are keeping us apart but we keep finding our way back to each other.
I start kissing and nipping everywhere I can reach whilst making love to her. I just can't get enough and I can never be too careful. I could miss a place he's touched. She calls my name loudly as she pulses around my cock. Fuck, that came out of nowhere I wasn't prepared. I come inside her with no control. I wasn't finished, yet I couldn't stop myself from going with her.
When I regain myself I pull out of her and lay next to her. I start touching the bruising on her skin. I'm pretty sure she's fallen asleep. I will never get used to him marking my girl. I'll never accept it and will always hurt me every time I look at it.
My phone beeps and I climb out of bed and grab my phone. I pull on my boxers and I read the text.
TYLER- Where are you?
ME- Where do you think?
Riley whimpers and I look at her instantly. Her face is screwed up and her head rolls on the pillow. "No," she protests. "Don't kill him," she begs. "Kill me," she insists. I walk around the bed and climb in on my side. I stroke her face.
TYLER- Did you fuck her!
ME- No.
TYLER- Good, now come back.
ME- I didn't fuck her bro. I made love to her.
TYLER- What!
ME- I had to, it was the only way.
TYLER- Only way to what?
ME- Get rid of my hard-on.
TYLER- Have a cold shower, have a wank like most guys do!
ME- It just comes back bro. Only she can settle it down once she's excited it. I've tried many times before.
TYLER- You're unbelievable. Come back now!
ME- Can't, she's having a nightmare. I'll come back before she wakes.
TYLER- I'm going to kick your arse.I roll my eyes and put my phone on the bedside table. I pull the duvet over us and I rest my head on her stomach and hold her. I focus on her shallow breathing. I'm so fucking tired but I don't want to let go of her. I want to feel her, smell her, hear her if I don't she could disappear. I shut my eyes and dream of our future together.
When I wake she's still fast asleep. I'm still laying on her stomach. I roll on my back and blink. I grab my phone and look at the time. 8 am, I look at Riley. I can be so impulsive sometimes. I can't safely be around her so why do I keep putting her in danger? I hate James's guts for hurting her yet I'm the biggest threat.
I get out of bed and gather my clothes off the floor. I walk out of the bedroom and dress in the living room before I leave. I head to my apartment and Tyler isn't up yet. I take a shower and I lie on the bed. I look through the photos of me and Riley again. Happier times, my bedroom door opens and Tyler walks in.
"The hell!"
"Bro, I can't deny her. She seduced me. I had no control."
"Exactly, just like your anger! How is she ever supposed to move on if you keep fucking her? She seduces you because she knows she can. She has you wrapped around her little finger."
"I know, bro. She has all the control. I don't know what to do. I know I need to stay away, I feel so fucking sick that I could hurt her. Yet, my desire for her overpowers that feeling when I need her. See, I'm calm today."
"For how long? Until she frustrates you again?"
"I guess," I smirk. He shakes his head and his murderous gaze turns into a smirk too and he laughs. "You should feel sorry for me, bro. I'm the one being controlled by her."
He comes further in the room and sits on my bed as he continues to laugh, "Oh, yeah, being seduced and fucked. Yeah, I feel so sorry for you."
"Oh, it's jealousy. You can't go days without sex. How longs it been? I imagine you haven't fucked Ruby yet and you'll be home for two weeks. Bro, you're going to go crazy."
"Three days, bro and I'm going out of my mind. I'm not used to this waiting. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen yet, I can't do anything yet. How did you manage it?"
"To be honest, I had a love-hate relationship with Riley. Of course, I didn't know I loved her when I met her. As soon as I saw her it was an instant hard-on. Endless cold showers, I even had to wank to get it to go away. I thought if I did that I'd get her out of my system but every time I saw her it came back harder. I hated her, she frustrated me and I didn't know why I was reacting that way."
"Gross," he mutters.
I roll my eyes, "I tried my hardest to resist the impulses because she's your sister. I think I loved her when she was unconscious. I stayed in her bed for the first couple of nights. I was worried she was so intoxicated she'd choke or vomit in her sleep. She didn't even know I was there. She even tried to tell me she didn't know who I was. Pretending she didn't know my name. She was giving me instant hard-ons and she didn't care to know my name. Unacceptable!
"To see her around all those guys I started to become possessive over her. I needed to get her to see me. She never tried to sleep with me which annoyed me even more because you warned me that she'd try but she didn't!"
"Not at all?" he asks in surprise.
"No, so I bribed so people to play truth or dare. I knew she'd choose dare so I bribed them to dare her to kiss me."
"You did what?" he seems surprised not angry.
"What choice did I have? She refused to feel, I knew she was nervous around me because I was starting to make her feel. You saw the way she kissed me. She felt something and then she freaked out because of it. She avoided me for days and I became more anxious and protective. I've never felt a kiss like it.
"When we had the diagnosis about her heart my insecurities went through the roof. I had to make her listen. She was fucking Tristan and I couldn't handle it so I went to get her."
"Wait, you actually walked in on them having sex?"
"Yes, he was loud as shit and I couldn't calm my rage. I dragged her off him and pulled her to my room. She continued to drink the poison so I threw the bottle against my wall. I had to get her permission to fuck her. She was reluctant but she finally let her walls down and let me in. Once I tasted her it's like I'm an addict."
"Fucking hell man," he shakes his head. "In other words, I'm fucked? Or not fucked as the case may be. I have to wait until she's ready?"
I nod, "Yes, I mean it may be quicker for you. No one is as complicated as your sister but us guys are ready as soon as we meet them. Girls have to trust you first."
He groans, "I guess she's worth the wait. Wanking is allowed though, right?" I laugh loudly.
"How would I know? All of mine were in honour of her so she can't be mad, right? Besides, we weren't together. So maybe Ruby will be annoyed. I don't begin to understand how girls minds work." He sighs and gets up, "We'll leave after breakfast, you're cooking. We will go round and get her. You can carry her out if she protests."
"Deal," I agree and he leaves the room. I pack a bag to go home with. I pack a few extra hoodies and tops in case Riley wants them. I pack the presents I've already bought. Once I'm packed I walk into the living room. I'm actually so fucking excited to get going.
