His

Chapter 20

Ryder takes my hand and leads me to two seats near the back of the jet and the stewardess comes over with two glasses of wine and crackers. "Enjoy your flight."

"Thank you, miss..."

"I'm Alicia."

"Thank you, Alicia."

She smiles and Ryder barely acknowledges her because he's face deep in his phone. I've always found that rude to ignore someone when they're trying to be polite.

"You know, just because you have money doesn't mean you need to act like a prick."

He looked up at me and scowled. "Excuse me?"

"You completely ignored that woman when she talked to you. I find that flat out rude."

"I don't pay to have a friend."

"It's not about money. It's about being a complete dickhead."

"Do I treat you badly?" The smirk on his face made me want to slap him.

"No, but that doesn't change you acting like an asshole. You got lucky seeing me at a random bar and for me to accept your offer, but do you even have any respect for me?"

"You're just a bartender, Tally." He chuckles and my anger raises.

"Yeah, I'm just a bartender. And you're an asshole." I get up and as Ryder tried to stop me, I ignored him.

I approached the stewardess who was sitting on a chair near the middle of the plane and smiled.

"I heard what you said to him. Thanks for sticking up for me."

"No problem at all. He deserves to be told here and there that he can be an asshole just like the rest of them."

Rather than going back to my seat, I talked to Alicia for an hour or so. I could tell Ryder was pissed, but he can get the fuck over it.

He finally got to the point where he approached us and smiled at Alicia. "I apologize for how I behaved. I'd like to make it up to you by booking a vacation for you..."

"And her husband." Ryder looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "You know that she's married, Ryder. Don't act dumb."

"You and your husband can go anywhere you'd like, all expenses paid for."

"Thank you, Ryder!" Alicia stood up and hugged him. "I suppose I should get back to work now."

Ryder nodded and I sat down, watching him glare at me the entire time. "Tally, would you mind coming back here so we can talk?"

I sighed and stood up. "Fine." I made sure to show pure irritation on my face as I sat next to him. "So..."

"Look... I..."

"That was nice of you to book that trip for her and her husband."

"Yeah well, I didn't like being called an asshole. Especially coming from you."

I shrugged. "Yeah, well..."

"I want to say sorry to you too, Tally. I'm sorry for saying I don't respect you or your job because I do. I've just never had a woman who's independent rather than wanting everything for free."

"It's fine."

"No, it's not."

"Yes, it is. I accept your apology." Even though I really didn't. He has a lot of making up to do for the consequences of his actions.

"Will this make you feel better?" He smirked and looked at me as he slid his hand down my shorts.

"Whoa, w-what are you doing?"

"You gave me pleasure, so I must pay you back."

"But we..."

"She won't see."

"Ryder, I..." He left me speechless as he slowly fingered me without any hesitation whatsoever. "I want to go into the bathroom."

"Let's go then."

As soon as he shut the door, he pinned me up against the wall and kissed me. I tried to reach for his jeans, but he stopped me. "Ryder?"

"Shhh..." He slid his jeans down his waist and was inside me in seconds.

"Fuck. Oh my god."

"Shh... don't want her to hear, baby."

After he finished inside me, I adjusted my shirt and went back to our seats. This man can be an asshole, but he sure knows how to please a woman.
