Second chance on love.

Chapter 23

~Ryan's POV~

She lay in front of me with her eyes close. Her cheeks are red and I know that she's stressing out. By calming her, I bend down and start placing a soft kiss on her left cheek, moving to her nose and then on her right cheek. She crunches her nose and smile.

I take both her hands and place it above her head, holding it with my left arm. As I climb on her I put all my weight in my legs so that I don't squash her. As she smiles at me I walk with my two fingers to her arms and start tickling her. She screams and shouts and I need to silence her before the captain complains. So that's my cue to kiss her so that she can be quiet. I let go of her arms as she takes my face into her hands. As I kiss her she plays with my hair. Best feeling ever.

"No, wait. We can't we signed the document that you highlighted. We need to be professional, Ryan." She pulls away and sits up straight. I climb off her and open the drawer of the cabinet. I take out the documents and rip them apart. "Stuff that! Connor will understand." I through the pieces in the air and start kissing her again.

This time the kiss is with more passion and intimacy. I lay on top of her and kiss her. Her kisses taste so sweet, something I can get addictive too. This kiss gets deeper and this passion became lust. I need to stop before it's too late. She moved to my neck and kisses my weak spot. She pushed me on my back and plop a kiss on my forehead.

She lay down on her back in my arms. I know that she went through a lot. So I won't pressure her for more. Patience Ryan, patient. I take her into my arms and we just lay there in silence. Not that kind awkward silence, this silence is nice and peacefully. I close my eyes to capture this moment in my memory.

I wonder what is going to happen next. Yes, we must go and fetch Connor, but when we get back home. Must I book a hotel for her? Is she going back home and work from there? Will I let her leave my side? Ughhhh, why must I overthink everything all the time?

Amber, I know that I must let go of you, but what must I do to keep this one close to me? What is the next move? I don't want to pressure her in something she won't want to be. Understand?

Lee looks up and searches for my eyes "Hey, what are you thinking about?" she asks. Must I tell her what I'm thinking about or must I make something up? What if I tell her the truth and she runs away? Okay here goes nothing...

"I was wondering what is going to happen next." She sits up straight and I do the same, now we sit in front of each other holding hands. "What do you mean by 'happen next'? With us or what?" her body language is neutral and I don't know what is going on in that mind of hers. "Yes with us? Do you want to stay in the hotel while we are busy working on the project or do you want to go home and drive in every day? It's an hour and five-minute drive from your home to the property." She's for some reason quiet and I don't know if I have to panic or what. She looks out of the window and she remains silent,

"What if I can make you an offer?" she looks at me, but still remain silent. "That is?" what offer can she make me? Oh no you don't that she wants to quit, do you? "What if I have a spare room and say that you can use it until the property is done. You save some money and I score a ride to work. Also, I will be able to know that you will get every evening a nice plate of food. Do you think it may work?" what in the world?? Did she just offer me to stay with her? I stand up and hug her tight. I will take it even though it isn't in the same room as her.
