The Power Bond

Chapter Thirty Eight|| Taking Risk

{Madeline's POV}

"Baby." I heard softly and I pushed the voice away digging my face into the pillow even more. 

"Wake up." They spoke again and this time I felt a kiss being place on my shoulder. 

"No." I groaned trying to scoot away earning a chuckle from the nagging voice. 

"Madeline, I know you're hungry and in desperate need of coffee." Another kiss was placed on my shoulder, then my neck. 

I opened one eye seeing an amused Ryker and I sighed. 

"Five more minutes?" I asked closing my eye and tried to fall back into my peaceful slumber I was woken from. 

"Negative." He mumbled and in seconds I was being attacked with kisses. 

I let out a screech laughing trying to push him away but he wouldn't give up. 

"Okay... OKAY! I'm up!" I yelled and he laughed moving away and I sat up and looked at the clock. 

It was only ten thirty. 

The sun was poking through the curtains of the room and I could hear the birds tweeting. 

"Good morning, gattina." Ryker said leaning over placing a soft kiss on my lips and I smiled. 

"Good morning, love." I replied and he winked standing up.

He was dressed in sweatpants and his chest was bare. He looked ravishing. 

"Sleep well?" he asked with a knowing grin. 

"I don't think I slept at all." I joked and he smirked walking to the closet and soon walked back out throwing me one of his T-Shirts. 

"You have lunch with your mother at noon. So, I suppose you get up and get ready." He stated. 

I pulled the shirt over my body and the memories from the previous night hit me like a train and on repeat. My cheeks flushed and Ryker noted it. 

"Thinking about something?" He teased. 

"No." I blushed harder standing and walked to the closet to grab some pants. I felt exposed. 

His arms were quick to wrap around my waist and pulled me back to his chest. 

"I love you." He expressed placing a kiss on my neck and I felt like a goddess. 

"I love you too." I replied turning to face him. 

"But I need to get dressed... properly." I explained and he cocked an eyebrow. 

"I think I like you just like this." He mused. 

"Do you now?" I cocked an eyebrow and he only grinned in response. 

"Like you said, I have lunch with my mother." I broke free of his grasp and something popped into my head as I changed. 

"I don't have to go through heat anymore." I said looking at Ryker who was leaning against the closet doorframe and seemed to be enjoying the show. 

"No, you don't... I see you're quite please." He just couldn't wipe that damn grin off his place. 

"Quite." I muttered and his laugh bounced of the walls of the small closet. 

"Im going to love teasing you all day." He said and I rolled my eyes. 

"I know." I said glaring at him as I brushed past him and walked over to the bathroom. 

I had thrown on a cute sundress and now I just needed to manage my hair somehow and throw some makeup on.
