Taunting the Stalker

Chapter 33- Hailey

I wait nervously for Ryder to return, not sure what to expect.
I knew he wouldn't truly hurt me. Even when he's angry. But still.

My body was so spent I wasn't sure if I could even handle more.
But I knew I'd let him take what he needed from me.

I lean up a bit as he returns to the room, his expression unreadable.
"I'm sorry I-" I begin
"Stop."
I shut my mouth, and he leans over me, spreading my legs.
I then feel a warm washcloth cleaning our release off of me slowly.
I look up at him, letting out a soft breath.

Once I'm cleaned up, he slips on some boxers and grabs my lotion off the dresser.
Still silent, he takes time to rub the lotion in all over my body, massaging my sore muscles.
He even turns me over, rubbing some into my ass that's still imprinted with his hand.

I don't know what to do, I've never seen him so impassive.

After another few minutes, he grabs his shirt off the floor, putting it on over my head.
The soft material feels nice against my skin and it smells like him.

He sits down on the bed, pulling me onto his lap.
I force myself to keep quiet even though all I want is to ask what he's doing.

He just sits there looking over my face, analyzing every little detail.

"I can't handle not having you" he says softly.
"I know."

"Talk to me. Please. Why did me leaving upset you so much?" He asks, brushing the hair out of my face.

"I asked you not to go and you didn't even care to talk to me about it. You just left." I frown softly

"I knew I'd be okay. I knew that there was nothing to worry about." Ryder tells me

"But you don't understand how I'd feel. I was worried. You didn't even care what I had to say about it. You had already decided." I explain

"I'm sorry, I never what you to feel like I don't care about what you think. Your opinion is all I fucking care about. I just wanted to get done so I'd be back to you sooner. I'm sorry angel." He tells me, cupping my face gently.

"I'm so fuckin sorry you had to worry about me. And I'm an idiot for not taking your words seriously. Fuck- and the way I just treated you... I lost my composure." He sighs, looking down at me with such regret.

I shake my head softly,
"I need it too. I need you to take me like you need me more than anything. I need to feel the way you have complete control over me, because I trust you. You make me feel wanted. Loved."

He looks down at me with a soft smile, kissing me gently.
"You're too damn perfect. I fucking love you with my entire being."

"I love you too" I relax as he pulls me closer into him, wrapping his arms around me.

"I want to spend the day with you. Take you shopping so I can fucking spoil you and then take you out to dinner tonight. Treat my girl exactly how you deserve." He tells me, kissing my head.

"You really know how to make a girl feel special" I laugh softly.

He pulls back, kissing my lips long and slow.
"Because you are special."
I grin widely.
"I'll go get ready"

•••

Ryder opens the door for me, offering his hand for me to take.
"Any store you want to go into, fucking anything you want doll." He squeezes my hand, leading us down the streets.

"You don't need to buy me a bunch of shit, I'm happy just with you"
He stops and turn to face me, leaning down to my ear.
"Fucking nothing would make me happier than spending my money on you. I don't even want you to think about it. You want it, it's yours."

Well... if it'll make him happy...

I nod softly and he grins, following me as I head into the first store.
There's dozens of beautiful dresses on display and I walk around the store in awe.
I don't even know where I'd wear them but they're too gorgeous to not look.

One in the corner catches my attention,
It's a beautiful dark green color, completely backless with a long slit.
I run my fingers over the silky material, admiring it.

"Go try it on" Ryder says, coming up behind me.
"I don't even have anywhere to wear it" I tell him, rolling my eyes.

"Says who? Go try it on. I picked out a few others you can try too if you like them" he grins, handing me a few more dresses before leading me back into the fitting rooms.

He sits back in a chair outside as he waits for me to try them on.
"Come out and show me doll" he calls out, making me laugh.

I try on his picks first, and every time I come out and show him, he makes me do a spin as he showers me in compliments.
I look down at the price tag of the one I'm wearing, my eyes widening.
"Ryder- these are insane. I don't even need them" I try and reason with them.

"It's worth whatever it costs to even just see you in it. You look so damn good doll." He grins, eyeing me up and down.
"last one" I tell him, heading back into the room to try on the green silk one I picked out.

I smile as I look at myself in the mirror.
The dress hugs my body perfectly, showing off my toned back and one of my long legs.
I step out of the room, walking over to Ryder.

He smirks, motioning for me to spin as he looks over every inch of me.
"Fucking stunning. Too good to even be real" he tells me, making me blush.

"Go change before I fuck you right here" he says dead serious, and I quickly go back into the room, hearing him curse to himself.
So whipped.

When I come back out, he grabs all the dresses and takes them up to the front despite me telling him I don't need them.
"Just let me. If you complain about me paying for things one more time I'll buy the whole damn store." He whispered to me, grabbing the bags.

I nod softly, letting him lead me out towards the other shops.
Many hours later, Ryder's arms are stacked with shopping bags, buying literally anything I like.
Dresses, shoes, workout sets, perfume...
It's all so much.
But I've never seen him smile so much.

"Anywhere else doll?" He turns to me with a grin.
I look over and see a lingerie store across the street.
"You think you could pick out a few things for me?" I smile up at him as he follows my gaze to the store.
"There?"
I nod and he smirks widely.
"Anything for you pretty girl" he grins, practically pulling me along with him as he walks over there.

"I'll wait over here with the bags. Surprise me." I tell him once we get into the store.
I sit down in a nearby chair, scrolling through my phone as he eagerly walks through the store, picking out things.

He eventually comes back to me with a large bag and a big smile.
Looks like he enjoyed himself.

"Ready to go home?" He asks

"Definitely."
