“There you are,” I joke as I tuck it behind her ears.

“There you are,” she echoes and bites her lip.

She’s utterly breathtaking as she looks at me with her sleepy eyes and messy hair. The light pours in behind her and it makes it look like she has a halo around her. I’ve never felt anything like this in my life, and right now I just want to roll her over and make love to her for hours.

There’s so much I need to tell her, to explain why she’s here and what I feel for her. After almost losing her, I know exactly what I’ll be missing without her in my life. I open my mouth to tell her what’s in my heart, but just as I do, the doorbell rings.

For half a second, I wonder who it could be, then I groan and bury my face in her neck.

“Who is it?” she giggles as my stubble tickles her soft skin.

“My parents.” I inhale her sweet scent and kiss the place behind her ear. “Maybe if we lie here long enough they’ll go away.

Her body responds to my touch, and she spreads her legs as she moves on top of me. I know she’s not wearing panties, and I could so easily push the waistband of my sleep pants down just enough. My hands move to her bare ass, and I cup her there as her hips move. It’s absolute torture, but I can’t make myself stop.

I become completely still when I feel one of her hands slip between us to the waist of my pants. She must have had the same thought as me as she tugs on them, pulling them down in the front just slightly.

My cock is painful with need as it lies hard and thick against my stomach. The head was already peeking out of the waistband, and when she moves the fabric down a few inches I can feel her heat so close.

“Fuck,” I grunt as she lowers her pussy down onto it. Her sweet little lips spread on either side of my cock, her wetness sliding up and down. “Easy, Cricket,” I warn, gripping her hips and slowing her down. If she goes too fast, I won’t be able to control myself.

“I want to,” she says, as wetness coats my length and her pussy slides all the way up to the tip.

I can feel her hot opening begging me to play, asking me to push in, just a little. God, I want nothing more than to give it to her, but Lily has probably already let my parents in and now they’re sitting downstairs waiting on me.

“Not yet,” I growl as she does another slide down my length and back up to the tip, teasing me and herself.

Her breath catches as I grip her ass harder, and this time I’m the one in control of the slide. I speed up her hips and move against her clit over and over in quick succession. Her body is already primed, and I can get her off just like this.

“No sounds,” I warn as she starts to whine. She buries her face in my chest and I feel her bite me as she cums. “Goddamn it,” I growl as I cum, too.

I was trying my best to hold off, but her sweet little honey pot was too tempting. I cum all over my stomach and her pussy, making a mess of the both of us. Her teeth on my chest are just icing on the cake as I move her pussy up and down, wringing out the last of her orgasm. She’s going to fucking ruin me with that sweet little thing.

“Mmm,” she moans as she lies on top of me, unmoving.

I want to laugh and go back to sleep with her, but we can’t. I’ve got a standing date for brunch with my parents twice a month, and today’s the day.

Smack.

I pop her ass and she squeals as she sits up on top of me. Her mouth is open in shock, but I can see she’s fighting a smile. I look down to where my hard cock is still lying against my abdomen, now covered in cum. My shirt is bunched up around her stomach, revealing her pussy is covered in my cream as well.

“Now that’s a sight to wake up to,” I say, and reach down, rubbing it into her skin.

When I look up at her she’s biting her lip and her cheeks are red.

“Don’t go getting shy on me now, Cricket. You’re about to come meet my parents.”

“Oh god, you were serious!” she nearly shouts as she immediately hops off the bed like they’re in the room. “I need to shower!”

She takes off running to the bathroom, and I grab her by the waist and pull her to me. “Think again, Cricket. You’re not about to wash that off.”

I throw her over my shoulder and smack her ass again as I carry her into our closet. She wiggles on top of me, laughing, and I sense a bit of nervousness. When I put her down on her feet again, I pull her into my arms.

“Don’t be nervous. They’re excited to meet you,” I say and kiss her forehead.

“They know about me?” she asks, surprise clear in her voice.

“Of course. They know about everything that’s important to me.” Winking at her, I turn around and grab a pair of jeans and place them on the chair nearby. I pull out two shirts and hold them up. “Which one?”

“The blue one,” she says, and I put it with the jeans. “Do they know you kidnapped me?”

Her face is smug as she takes off my shirt and stands in front of me naked. I look her up and down slowly, enjoying every inch of her. I stalk towards her, and she retreats until her back is against the wall. I place my hands on either side of her and lean down so that we’re eye to eye.

“Yes, they know that you belong to me.” I lean close to whisper in her ear. “And after what your pussy got you into this morning, I think you might know it, too.”

Chapter 18

Blair

I’m so nervous as we walk down the hallway and to the stairs to meet Ryker’s parents. I mean, who tells their parents they’re kidnapping a woman and then bringing her home to meet them? He’s anything but traditional when it comes to romance.

He takes my hand, and I take comfort in the gentle touch. I glance over at him and he’s smiling from ear to ear. How does he do that? Know when I need him before I do, and then smile as though everything in the world is perfect. I guess it is, though.

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought was how happy I was. I can’t remember the last time I had that thought, if ever. Could this all be happening for real? Am I truly falling for a man who stole me in the night and laid a claim to me? But even now as I walk beside him, I want to lean closer. I’m beginning to crave his touch, which is why I did what I did this morning. My cheeks flush and my body heats as I recall how free I was. Free to make the choice to touch him, free to let him touch me. I might have been kidnapped, but I’m far from caged.

  Everything that’s happened between us, I’ve allowed. I don’t regret a second of it, and if I’m really honest with myself right now, there’s a reason I let it happen. I’m falling for him. Hard. I try not to think about it too much, because that’s when I get into trouble. Right now, I’m just going to focus on what’s in front of me, and that’s Ryker’s parents.

When we enter the kitchen, I can see them sitting at the bar having coffee and talking to Lily. Ryker wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me even closer. And for the millionth time today, I wonder if he can read my mind.

We walk over together, and his parents catch sight of us and stand up.

“Cricket, I’d like you to meet my mama, Kathleen, and my dad, Jackie,” Ryker says as he leans forward and hugs his mom, and she gives him a kiss on the cheek. I’m a little surprised when he does the same with his dad, even getting a kiss on the cheek from him, too. Something about it is kind of sweet.

“Cricket? And all this time, I thought her name was Blair,” Kathleen says with an accent thicker than my own. She sounds like she could be from Louisiana, and that warms me a little.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I say, trying my best to be as polite and refined as possible. I’ve got a need to make a good impression.

Kathleen is tall, probably almost six feet. She’s got solid white hair that’s pulled back in a ponytail and she’s wearing dark jeans and a plain white T-shirt. I notice she’s got on boots and looks like she would be comfortable on a horse. She’s got dark eyes like Ryker, and he’s got her smile. There are lines around her lips and eyes, but they appear to be from smiling. When she reaches out and takes one of my hands with both of hers, I immediately like her. Her hands are a little rough, which makes me think she might actually work on a farm, and for some reason that makes me like her more.
