It's now New Year's Eve, Riley is looking much better. She's not sleeping as much. The doctor came back out, much to my displeasure but he said she was on the mend.
    I'm at the shop with Tyler to get some booze. "Bro, your family is a nightmare. Why do you do this every year? It's such a faff."
     "My mom loves it so that's all that counts. It's a good piss up, why are you being a grouch?" I'm not I just don't see the point.
     "I can understand Christmas but why make a big deal about New Years?"
     "It's the start of a new year. What better way than to spend it with family and friends?" He glares and me and I laugh. Now who's being a grouch?
     "Why the theatrics though? Your Mom has already given me a rehearsal. It's almost like a rehearsal for a wedding." That makes Tyler laugh. He puts more alcohol in the trolley.
     "She's a perfectionist. Everything has to be just right." I roll my eyes, it must be exhausting to have everything to perfection.
     "Now I know where Riley gets it from." He laughs as he scans the spirit section.
     "Riley hates these events. More so now than she used to. She'd happily help Dad at work functions but New Years? Not so much." Why does that not surprise me? "My Mom drives her insane."
Once we get all the alcohol on the list we head back home. I find my girl sat on the kitchen side. Miley is eating lunch. Riley bites her lip as I approach.
I love how she openly displays her desire for me now. I stand between her legs and can't help but kiss her. "She's driving me insane."
      "Let's be fair, Ri, most people drive you insane." I hover my lips close to hers.
     "The lights aren't straight, tables need to be perfectly lined, the stage needs to look out perfectly with the dancing area, I love her but it doesn't matter." I laugh, she's cute.
    "Mommy more pretty lights," Miley says excitedly. Jesus, she just appears from no where. Riley looks down at her and slides off the counter. Casually brushing her delicious body down mine. I growl, she's a tease.
She walks out the garden and I follow. Abigail is decorating the tables with white linen. I make my way to her as my girls hang up more lights. "Mom, what's for lunch?"
She shoos me with her hands. "I don't have time to make lunch, Flynn. Go make yourself useful and get more chairs from the garage."
I raise my eyebrow at her, she's turned into a monster. "You're making me starve? That's neglect that is."
"It's not neglect, Flynn. You're an adult, make your own lunch." Fucking hell, where has the Momma bear gone? Always trying to feed us and care for us.
"Just so you know, I'm literally starving and I might die of starvation. It will be on the news." I quote her own lines. "Mother starves son and makes him work to his death."
I quickly move away as her hand flies towards me. "I'm going beat your ass, Honey." I laugh as I head to the garage. She's a monster.
Maybe I'll have to get Riley to make something. I pick up as many chairs as I can carry. Tyler finds me in the garage as he also collects chairs. "Your Mom is a monster. She won't feed me."
He laughs loudly, "We should have got some on the way back from the shop."
We make a few trips to the garage. When we get back the third time, Abigail is stood with some food. "I do not let my kids starve. Remember that."
I laugh and collect a plate. I go to sit but she starts flapping her hands. "No, you need to stand and eat. You'll get crumbs on the table." Jesus Christ. At least she's made us sandwiches. "Riley, honey. Come eat food."
Riley walks over with Miley in tow. "You didn't need to, but thanks Momma."
Abigail starts setting up the chairs as we eat standing. "Still a monster," I mumble.
The rest of the day we help Abigail make the garden perfect. I've already showered and changed in my suit. It's actually uncomfortable.
We're all waiting in the hallway for Riley to come down. "She needs to hurry up. We have to keep to schedule," Abigail scolds.
"I can go hurry her up," I suggest.
"No, you'll probably delay us even more." Probably true, if her dress is anything like Ruby's then I'll probably need to fuck her first.
"Mom!" Riley yells. "Mother!"
"What honey? Why aren't you coming down? We are all waiting for you so the party can start!"
"What are you trying to do with this dress, Mom?! Are you trying to get someone to impregnate me!" Fuck my life.
"Really? Maybe I should inspect this dress in private first." Tyler whacks me around the head. "Ow!"
"Honey, just come down, I'm sure it looks lovely." She could literally wear a bin bag and would be hot as fuck.
Red flashes in my vision and my eyes fix on the stairs. She makes slow careful steps. Her leg on full display with every step she takes.
A floor length red dress with a split down her leg. My mouth dries as I take her in. Her boobs on display from the sides. Look at me Flynn, you can see us but not enough.
She kills me with these outfits. "Stop staring or I'll go upstairs and take it off." She stops half way up the stairs.
I jog up the stairs to meet her. As much as I hate the thought of her going out there in the view of all those guys, I'm loving this dress on her. I won't let her back out.
"You look breathtaking but it should come with a health warning. I'm not sure what your Mom's motive is with this dress." If I could impregnate her, I would be. This dress is dangerous. I place my hand on her naked back and guide her down the stairs.
"Oh honey, you look beautiful." The dog is right on her heels. He's going to be a problem.
"Enough of that. Can we go?" She She walks to Ruby who looks uncomfortable. "You look beautiful." Ruby blushes. My girl is amazing, literally complimenting those around her when she's the most beautiful in the room.
Miley jumps into Riley's arms. They looks adorable in the same coloured dress. "So do you," Ruby says. I catch Riley's eye roll. Definitely hates the attention. I take Riley's free hand and we follow after Hayden and Abigail.
It's dark now and it's slightly nippy as we get to the garden. I hope my girls don't get too cold. Riley starts chewing her lip. "Stop worrying."
Hayden and Abigail head onto the stage as the guests look on. "I don't like these damn grand reveal shit. I'm a nobody." She's bloody clueless, that's what she is.
"Pfft, you aren't a nobody. You're everything." Why can't I tell her all the things I want to say?
"Thank you for coming everyone," Hayden says on the mic system. "It's been a tough year for my family but I believe we've just started to pull through and we are glad to celebrate the new year with you all. We have a few new family members this year. Although they don't tie us together by blood they are family all the same.
"Princess, would you come out please?" The three of us walk on stage and I keep hold of Riley's hand. "Riley has had a tough year but she's come out the other end. This is Flynn, her boyfriend, and our son. He saved my daughter more times than I can count. He has earned his place in our family. This little one is Miley, Flynn's sister but more importantly Riley's daughter. She adopted her and she's a much-loved member of the family. She's a bit shy until she knows you."
Shy, that's one word for it. I swear she has multiple personalities. The quiet wall gazing one, the sweet Angel around Riley and the loud tantrum version.
I let go of her hand and wrap my arm around my girls. I kiss Riley's temple. She's mine everyone. "Son?" Hayden says. Tyler walks out with a nervous Ruby in tow. "Tyler's girlfriend, Ruby. He struck gold with this one, he normally goes for dumb-dumbs." The crowd laughs and Tyler glares at him, "Sorry son, it's true. Anyway, we hope you enjoy tonight and that the new year is everything you hope for. I know mine will be with my family around me. Cheers," he says and the crowd claps. That seems to by Riley's cue to flee the stage.
"Ri!" I call as I follow after her. "Ri." She stops and turns and she looks vulnerable. Like a flip of a switch. "What's wrong?"
"They all know me, they all remember one thing. And this dress, well it's revealing." I frown, I guess I didn't think about the sex tape.
     "Pretty girl," a kid says. Riley kneels down to the boy's height.
"Hey you, look at you, you look so handsome, Charlie, remember my name is Riley." He grins at my girl and I glare at him.
"Still pretty," he smiles. "Can I play with your daughter?" I growl. He can do one. He's not having either of my girls. "What's your name?" he asks her.
"Miley is a bit shy Charlie, you'll have to ask her."
"Hi, Miley, I'm Charlie. You want to play tag with me?" Miley clings tighter to Riley. "Does she not like me?" he says disappointed.
"I'm sure it's not that. Honey, can you say hi to Charlie? Charlie wants to play with you, you'll be nice and look after her won't you, Honey?"
"Sure, come on Miley," he holds his hand out to her and she peeks at his hand.
"It's okay, I'll be here all the time. Uncle Tyler is over there." She points to him. "And Nana is over there. We are all here honey, have fun." She nods and takes Charlie's hand. Riley sets her on her feet.
"Bye, thank you, pretty girl," Charlie says and pulls a willing Miley with him. Even a kid knows how pretty my girl is. Riley stands up and watches them. She's such a worrier about my sister.
You'll hear from a mile away if she's not okay. I'm not worried. I bring her into my arms and press my lips to her temple. "Even the kid knows you're pretty," I sulk. She's not giving me any attention. "Ri, they will be fine. As long as the kid keeps his hands to himself that is."
"Flynn, he's a kid for god sake. He won't even know what it means." Doesn't mean kids don't experiment.
"Know what, what means?" I skim my hand up her bare leg. This dress makes it look like her legs go on forever. "This dress has its advantages, I'll be peeling this dress off you later." I sway her to the music as I hold her. I slide a hand down to her ass. "You're right, you know?"
"What?" she gasps. She looks into my eyes. I have her full attention now. "If I could, I'd be impregnating you. This dress really is dangerous."
"Stop it. You'll get your chance to fuck me later." Fuck, it's been a while. She's been off limit for days.
"No, I'll be making love to you. We don't fuck anymore, baby." She rolls her eyes, one day I'll make her swoon over my affection.
"May I cut in?" Hayden says and I glare at him. "Come on son, one dance with my daughter, that's all I'm asking." Fucking hell, she's mine. I sigh and release her. "Go find Abigail, I'm sure she will love a dance," Hayden says. I nod, I'll go find the monster.
I locate her by the stage and I walk towards her. She's mingling with some guests. She smiles at me and I raise my eyebrow. "I've come to request a dance with the child abuser."
Abigail laughs and tries to swat my head. "Honey, you aren't a child. You can feed yourself." The ladies laugh and Abigail holds her hand out to me. I take her hand and lead her onto the dance floor. "You aren't still sulking are you?"
I place my hand on her hip and hold her hand as we sway to the music. I can't dance for shit like this. "You're a monster," I joke. "Too busy to feed your son."
She shakes her head. "Unbelievable." She doesn't seem annoyed though. I look over her shoulder and watch my girl dance with her Dad. "I'd never let you starve."
I smirk at her, "You starve me all the time."
She lets go of my hand and swats my backside. I laugh loudly, "I do not. I want you to promise me something." I raise my eyebrow at her and then scowl when I see my girl dance with the doctor. "Use the credit card. I want to see transactions on it."
"Mom, let's not argue about this. I want to support myself. When I've got a good job I want to support my girls too."
"I understand that but for now, please use it and not just for fast food." I grumble but agree. "Thank you, I'd better circulate the garden." I nod and she kisses my cheek. I find Tyler and he's dancing with Ruby.
I glare some more at the doctor with my girl. "Bro, chill. You're going to burn holes in the back of his head."
Not the worst thing to happen. He suddenly dips her to the ground and I growl. Tyler quickly releases Ruby and moves her into my arms whilst he rushes towards my girl.
"I think it's cute, you know?" Ruby says. I look down at her, "How protective you both are of her. I wish I had a brother like that."
I chuckle, "Yeah, you didn't get lucky with yours, huh?" I smile as I try dance with Ruby. It's awkward but we make do. "You've gained a protective sister though. Riley will have your back."
She smiles but there's something hidden behind it. Does Tyler see the sadness as I saw the sadness in Riley's? "You think so? I've never had anyone to have my back."
"Please, Riley will be beating Tyler out the way to protect you. You'll see." She laughs, it's totally going to happen. Tyler will be first in line to protect her but Riley will beat his arse to be the one to protect Ruby.
The thought makes me smile. I take a glance at my girl and relax now she's dancing with Tyler. I look back at Ruby, "If you ever need to talk, I'm here. If you choose to stay, you have a new family, including me. I can be a better brother than yours."
"I have a feeling I'm not going anywhere. I feel connected to Tyler, more than any of my past boyfriends. He looks at me like I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. He feels, safe."
I stiffen but Ruby doesn't seem to notice. That's something Riley would say about me. I'll have to speak to Tyler about my concerns. Has someone hurt her? Tyler comes and steals Ruby from my arms.
I don't fight him, it was awkward anyway. I find my girl and the frigid is patting her side not knowing where to put his hands.
I laugh, as much as I hate that she's with another guy at least I know he won't be a threat. Riley gets annoyed and places his hand on her waist.
He blushes and I smirk again. He's hilarious. A hand touches my arm and I turn. "Hey," she smiles. "Want to dance?" With her? Not really but I best be polite. Abigail will skin me alive.
"Sure, I guess." She's quick to get close to me and I work hard to keep my body still and not recoil.
"Remember me? I can't believe Tyler is taken now. I only got a quickie that one time. I've been trying to get his attention for years and when I finally do, he's got a girlfriend."
I raise my eyebrow. "You don't want him," I warn her. "He's a player, he's not a one woman guy." Until now. He's fallen hard for her.
"Should I warn her?" I roll my eyes, Ruby has nothing to worry about.
"He's found the one, Becca. He's committed to her like no other." She glares at me, fucking hell. What did I say now?
"My name is Bella." Right, the frigid's sister. The one dancing with my girl. I find her with my eyes and she's dancing with Riccardo.
Fuck my life, him I have to watch carefully. His hand slowly slides down and touches her backside. She quickly swats his hand away. "Yeah, that's what I said."
"You could at least be vaguely interested in dance with me." I glance at her. Why? I have a girlfriend, I'm engaging in conversation. Why do girls automatically assume I'm interested in them?
"I have a girlfriend Becca." I look back at my girl. I frown when her back is pressed against his front. They're both looking at me. He's smirking like a fucking arsehole and she's glaring at me.
He whispers something in her ear and I stiffen. I'm not going to like whatever is going down right now. His hands hold her hips as she sways them seductively.
They skim her sides travelling higher. His hands cup her tits and I growl. "You know, you're a real jerk."
"I know," I grit out. A hand slaps my face and I growl again. "Fucking hell, what's your problem?"
"I feel sorry for Riley. Not only did she have one jerk of a boyfriend, she's now ended up with another."
"Riley can handle herself. She brings out the good in me. Was he a jerk to you?"
She frowns, I look up at my girl and she seems to be arguing with Tyler. "Yeah. He liked to fuck me whilst he pretended I was Riley."
The fuck? "And you stuck around for that?"
"He blackmailed me. At first I fell hard for him. Then he started calling me Riley during sex, it was weird. I tried to end things but he threatened to leak our sex tape." Jesus! He's actually a psycho.
I notice Riley heading inside. "Perhaps you need to choose your men more carefully." I leave her on the dance floor and follow after my girl.
I'm raging that he touched what's mine. Now I'm going to have to burn his touch off her. When I get to my bedroom she's left it open as if she expected me to follow.
I lock the door behind me. "What the fuck was that? Did you want me to beat his ass?"
"Nope, however, I wanted to beat hers." She shrugs as if it's my fault.
"You did this because you're jealous? Ri, you're my girlfriend, you are the one that's been dancing with all those guys. I've kept my distance so you could enjoy tonight."
"I never asked them! I did it to be polite, in fact, it was getting rather tiresome. I'm a crap host!"
"Oh, I don't think so." I close the distance between us and glide my finger tips up her bare thigh. "You were courteous dancing with them all. You were brilliant with the kid, the frigid didn't know how to touch you so you had to guide him. Ricardo looked in heaven. I could go on." I reach my destination and cup her pussy and she gasps. "I don't think I can wait until later."
"Flynn."
"What?" Why is she resisting this? "Tell me to stop." She pants heavily as she breathes but no sign of stopping me. I grab her hips and toss her on the bed. She squeals as she bounces.
She sits up on her elbows as she watches me remove my jacket and shoes. I climb on the bed but keep my eyes pinned on her. I take off the red tie and crawl over her and settle with my legs either side of her.
This is going to be fun. "Hands." She quick to obey and offers me her hands. I secure her wrists with my tie, and then tie it to the headboard.
I slide further down her body and kneel between her legs. I grab the back of her knees and pull her down the bed so her restraints are tight.
I start to shimmy her dress up revealing her delicious skin. Goosebumps decorate her skin and it makes my cock twitch. "Flynn."
"Now, I know you're not begging me so soon. This isn't going to be quick baby, not by any means."
"But—" I touch her lips with my finger to stop her. She overthinks things way too much.
"You've been off limits for days. If you think this is going to end too soon then you've got another thing coming. I need to reclaim every inch of what is mine. All those guys touching what is mine. I need to show you where making me jealous gets you."
I want to touch every inch of her skin so I cup her neck and skim them down to her collarbone. I only need a light brush of my fingertips.
Everything for her is heightened so this will be driving her wild. I cup her glorious tits and her back arches. I give them a light squeeze and continue down to her hips.
I gently massage her thighs with my thumbs. I hastily pin her legs apart. "Hmm, these are sexy." They are but they are blocking my view to her pussy. I quickly rid her of her red panties. "As sexy as they are, we don't need them."
Her back arches as if to say she needs more. I drop her panties on the floor and just stop and look at the fine specimen before me.
Her chest rises and falls quickly, her pretty pink glistening pussy. "Flynn."
"Missing my touch already? Well, I'm not sure you deserve it, baby." She grumbles and I smirk. "You let him touch what was mine." I cup here boob to mask his touch. "You had no reason to be jealous, yet you played those games." I release her first and she whimpers. "How many times do I have to show you that I only want you?"
"Flynn please." I wasn't even enjoying dancing with Becca. She was the one that asked me to dance.
"Shh, before I gag you." I kiss her lips and she jolts when there's thumping on the door. "Fucking hell, what bad timing. Stay here and keep quiet." I peck her lips again before I get up.
I open the door a crack and Tyler glares at me. "Bro? Can I help you?"
"Mom has noticed your absence. She's put a lot of effort into this and she wants us all to make an effort."
"Who said I wasn't making an effort?" I find that insulting, I've done nothing but run around to get today perfect.
"Bro, food will be served soon. Just make sure you come down soon. Where's my sister?" He tries looking into my room but I've barely opened the door.
"Well, she's a bit tied up right now." I'm grinning like an idiot.
"Fucking hell, bro! You need to get the fuck down here." He tries pushing the door open but I make sure it stays where it is.
"I promise, I'll be down soon. I just need to teach your sister that it's not okay to make me jealous. Trust me, you do not want to see the way your sister is tied up right now. Completely at my mercy."
I bite my lip as I take a look at her naked body. Her pussy on full display. "That is actually gross, if you aren't down there in twenty minutes I'm dragging your ass down there."
No, that's not enough time. "Can we make that thirty? Then I'm all yours. I just don't think that time frame is long enough. Don't forget how stubborn your sister is."
Tyler groans loudly, "Fine, thirty minutes not a second longer." He starts walking off and I shut the door making sure I lock it. I contemplated not fixing the lock but I decided I needed it for times like these.
I crawl back between her legs. "Thirty minutes to do as I please to your beautiful body baby girl." I touch her hip and she jolts. "So responsive, so mine."
"Flynn." I place my finger on her lips again.
"Shhh, I've got you. I've always got you. No one can have you like I have you," I drag my finger down her neck to her tit. I rub her hardened nipple. She moans but it's not enough. No one will hear her with the loud music filtering from the window. "I want to hear you baby."
     My lips mould around her other nipple as she pulls against her restraints. So it begins, I move so I'm not touching her but I can see her. "Say it. Say you are mine."
"I'm yours, Flynn. Please!" Her hips flex and I pin them to the bed.
Once I'm sure she's not going to do it again I lick her other nipple and she gasps. "Will you let anyone touch you again? Knowing how good I can make you feel?" I blow on her nipple and she groans.
"I'm sorry, okay? I was jealous that you were dancing with her." I trail kisses on her tummy.
"I don't want her. I don't want anyone else. She thought I was a jerk and she slapped me."
"She slapped you? When?" she growls. She's cute when she's protective.
"When you were arguing with Tyler. I deserved it, I wasn't giving her any attention. My eyes were on you. Is she your friend?" I ease my fingers inside of her and she groans.
"No, she used to be but I don't have friends, remember?" That's not true, not anymore. She has friends.
"Good because she's not a good friend, baby." I slide my fingers in and out at a slow rhythm.
"Why do you. . . Oh," she groans as I rub her clit with my thumb.
"She was sleeping with James too." I feel her tense but I try distract her with my touch. "She's not entirely to blame. All these girls that loved him. Her, Erin that drama queen at the fair.
"He had a sex tape of Becca. Blackmailed her in the end when she tried to call it off. He was calling her Riley during sex."
Perhaps I shouldn't tell her this. Especially whilst I'm making her feel like this. "Do you mean Bella?" She frowns, "Evelyn loved him?"
I increase the tempo and her back arches. "Yeah. I understand your jealousy and insecurity but I'm going to prove to you that, you're it for me.
"You never have to worry that you're not enough for me because you're all I see, all I think about." Her legs start to stiffen and she's about to orgasm.
"All these people that he cheated on me with. I thought he was faithful until the end. How am I to know that you are?"
"Baby, a world without you loving me seems terrifying to me. There's nothing that could make me stop loving you. Nothing. I've never looked into the future before but I see you."
Her orgasm takes hold and she calls out. I take my cock out of my pants and give it a few strokes. She's mesmerising as she jolts on the bed.
I thrust hard into her and I have to hold still for a while. She's pulsing and squeezing my cock. I grit my teeth to stop myself following her.
He's rewired her, made her feel worthless. One day, she will trust me. One day she will let me all the way into her soul and I can't fucking wait.
