Chapter 6.

A soft chuckle left his mouth while he nodded, laying down next to me as we just stared at each other.

"Ryder?" I asked and he hummed, showing me that he was listening. I snuggled a bit closer to him, our faces now closer than before.

"Do you think I'm desirable?" I asked, staring deep into his eyes as I waited for his answer.

"You're so much more than that, and I can already tell even though I don't know you." I wanted him even more now.

"Do you... want me?" I then whispered, leaning closer, our lips almost touching. He placed his finger over my lips, stopping me from kissing him as he looked deep into my eyes.

"You don't even understand how bad I want you, but I don't think it's right to do anything like that with you right now. You're drunk, and you went through a lot in the last few days, I can't use your emotional damage to my advantage to get you easier, I'm better than that." I listened to him, and then nodded slightly while pressing a soft kiss against his finger, just as he did before.

"But can you hold me tonight?" I then asked, looking into his eyes.

"I will gladly do that." He said and wrapped his arm around my body, pulling me close against him as a small sigh left my body.

I relaxed against him, closing my eyes as I thought about how great this man was, and how lucky I am that I met him today.

And after a few more moments, I fell asleep against his chest.

Next morning:

I woke up, a deep groan leaving my mouth at the headache I had.

Kill me please.

After a while I managed to open my eyes, just to realise that I wasn't at home. And then I felt something heavy on me, and when I looked down I saw his arm around me.

Oh my god yesterday was all real-

And then I blushed in embarrassment, pressing my face into the pillow.

I tried kissing him.

"You're awake?" His deep, husky voice asked and I wanted to moan just because of his voice.

Victoria shut up! You just broke up with your ex!

"Mhm." I hummed, feeling his grip around me tighten before I felt him pressing his face into the back of my neck.

"Let's stay like this for a few more minutes." He said and I didn't say nothing because I didn't mind at all.

Suddenly you could hear another guy yelling through the mansion.

"RYDER WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" You could hear the voice yell, and it was obvious that whoever it was, was really pissed.

"Ugh." Ryder behind me groaned annoyed before slowly sitting up. His hair was all messy and I admired him for a moment.

"Who is that?" I asked and he turned to face me, yawning before answering me.

"My younger brother." He just said, his voice sounding slightly annoyed as he stood up, and I immediately did too, wanting to go downstairs with him.

I walked behind him, my headache still there as I followed him around.

This mansion is so huge, if he wasn't here I would get lost so bad.

"Can I also get some aspirin? I have a pretty bad headache." I said while walking next to him and he looked over at me, nodding.

"Of course, I will give them to you in a mo-"

"Yo Ryder what the fuck?" I looked down the stairs we were just walking on, seeing another guy standing there.

He looked pretty similar to Ryder, just... younger. And he was a bit shorter, and had no tattoos. You could definitely tell that he was Ryder's brother.

Then his brother's eyes shot to me, looking at me till he looked down my body, then back to Ryder again.

"What are you screaming about? Jesus you're annoying." Ryder said next to me as we stopped in front of his brother.

His brother was around 6'2'' while Ryder was around 6'5''. And I stood next to both of them with my 5'5'', feeling small.

"Who is she?" His brother asked, looking at Ryder.

"She can talk for herself." I said, looking at him. He turned his face to look at me.

"I'm Victoria Smith." I smiled. I didn't know why, but something about the way he asked that to Ryder made me mad.

"And what are you doing here?" He then asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest as he looked at me. I copied the gesture, crossing my arm also in front of my chest.

"I slept over here after your brother saved me from getting raped." I smiled, a fake smile obviously, and his eyes widen a bit before he turned to Ryder, obviously asking with the look on his face if I was telling the truth or not.

"She's telling the truth." Ryder just said, obviously amused by the situation.

"Now if you would excuse us, Ryder needs to give me some aspirin, because my headache got worse after hearing your voice." I said, giving him and innocent smile before turning to Ryder.

Ryder just laughed while walking into the direction of- wherever we were heading, and I followed him.

"I like you even more now." He said while we entered the kitchen, making me look at him confused as I watched him opening a cabinet.

"Why?" I asked, being genuinely curious.

"You stand up for yourself and aren't afraid of opening your mouth when you don't like something, that's hot." He said while grabbing a package of aspirin, then filling a glass with water.

He just called me hot-
