Faith’s Temptation (Dueling Dragons MC Book 1) (22 page)

I reach for him, wanting so much more than what he just gave me, but he backs away and shakes his head. “Nope, you have to wait. We need to get packed and ready to grab some gears. Babe, you’re going to have to learn self-control.” Leaning forward, he kisses my forehead and then my lips. I can taste myself again. God, this man is amazing!

I get dressed and pack my bag. Ryder takes our bags out to the truck and I go in to sit with my daddy while the boys finish up making breakfast. I started everything but asked Nate to finish the waffles. “How you doing, Daddy?” I ask as I walk in and see him. His eyes are open and looking at the door.

“Squirt, I was wondering when you were going to come in and see me. I feel like it has been forever,” he says. He seems genuinely concerned and worried that he wouldn’t see me, and that it has been forever. Where is that coming from?

“Daddy, I just saw you last night. It’s okay, I’m here. I have a few minutes ‘til the boys are done with breakfast, so we can chat for a while.”

I see my father physically calm down and we spend the next 20 minutes or so talking about my life and things around the farm. I tell my dad about my job at the diner, and he seems pleased to see that I’m truly happy for once.

“Faith! Breakfast!” I hear Nate yell from the kitchen.

“Well, Daddy, I’m gonna go eat and let you rest. But Ryder and I will come up and say bye before we leave. Okay?” I squeeze his hand and smile down at him.

“All right, sweetheart, that’s fine.” He pushes the oxygen line into his nose and closes his eyes. I leave the room and go downstairs to eat breakfast with my guys.

Ryder

Watching this beautiful woman interact with her family has been the best thing I have experienced in a long time. She still hasn’t said she loves me, but like a sucker, I keep telling her! She’s a different person here. Something inside her has blossomed since she told everyone what happened.

The hurt doesn’t cloud her eyes like it used to, but one thing I’ve noticed—she likes to bury her feelings wherever and whenever she can. And if me fucking her from sun up ‘til sundown is going to help her process everything happening to her, then so be it.

“So, what are you guys going to do for fun if you’re always here with Daddy?” Her lips wrap around her fork, the same lips that were wrapped around my cock last night in the shower. Shifting in my chair, I take a bite of my breakfast.

“Well, we have the farm to run. Will has his girlfriend to keep him busy,” Nate laughs around his food.

“Shut up,” Faith yells at him.

Looking around the table, I feel like I’m home. First time in a long time.
Don’t fuck it up this time!

“So, you ready?” I reach over and grab Faith’s hand.

She finishes her bite and sets her fork on her plate. “We need to run upstairs and tell my daddy goodbye. I told him that we’d both come up and say bye.” The happy expression disappears. Here soon, I hope to never see her face so sad.

“Yeah, well, let’s do it.” I stand up from the table and Faith stands with me, clearing our places at the table and placing our dishes in the sink. Walking over to the stairs, I step out of the way and let her go up first.

Faith

“Hi, Daddy! We’re getting ready to leave. But we wanted to come in and say bye and see you for a second,” I say as I cross the room to his bedside.

“Just the two I wanted to see. Ryder, you’re going to take off with my girl, right? I can trust that no matter what happens, you’re going to be there for her?” My father looks past me and right at Ryder.

“Yes, sir. I told you that I love your daughter and that she’s my number one. I’ll always protect her, keep her safe, and provide for her,” he says, looking right into my father’s eyes.

“Then, to answer your question from yesterday, my answer is yes. That’s fine with me.” My father reaches out a weak, trembling hand.

Ryder instantly steps forward and grasps my father’s hand and shakes it. “Thank you, sir. I won’t let you down,” Ryder replies with firm resolve in his voice.

“I know you won’t,” my father says as he releases his hand.

“Okay, well. On that note....” I shift uncomfortably. “I love you Daddy. We need to get going, though. Be good and I’ll call you when I get to my apartment. Okay?” I say, as I bend down and kiss his forehead. I lean back, looking him in the eyes.

“I love you, too, Faith Ann. You’re my greatest achievement. You have a great man standing behind you, and I know that you’ll always be taken care of. I love you, baby.” He rubs the side of my face and pulls me down to him. Yet again my father has brought tears to my eyes.

Ryder runs his hand along my back to let me know he’s there for me. I say my final goodbyes to my dad and then we go downstairs and say goodbye to my brothers. They only let me out of the house after making me promise that I’ll call twice a week.

“I love you guys! And I promise to stay in touch,” I call out over my shoulder as we walk out to the truck, get in, and get comfy for our long drive back to Kentucky.

We pull into the truck stop and the first thing I see is Layla standing at the bottom of my stairs. “How did she know we were coming home?” I ask Ryder.

“I called her and told her when we stopped for lunch,” he says out of the corner of his mouth.

I shake my head at him.

“What? She’d been calling ever since we left, wanting to know what we were doing and when we were coming back.” He shrugs. “She also wants to go to dinner with us since I have to leave tomorrow to go on that run. But after dinner, it’s going to be just me and you, babe.” He winks at me and I just smile back at him. I missed Layla also while we were gone.

We pull up outside my apartment after Ryder parks in my spot. “Layla!” I say as I climb out of the truck and walk over to her and give her a hug. “I’ve missed you.”

“Oh, baby cakes, I’ve missed you, too. How’s your daddy and your brothers?” she asks, wrapping her arms around me.

I start to tell her everything that is going on with my daddy, and I even tell her everything about Beau and Peggy Sue and that we ran into them.

“You mean to tell me that you saw your ex and wished good luck to his new bitch? And that she is pregnant?”

I shake my head to emphasize what I am saying. “Like, really pregnant!”

She gasps and starts to laugh really loud and hard. “Oh, Faith, I love you for so many reasons, and you just added another one to the list. I’m so proud of you, sweetie.”

Ryder walks up at the same moment and closes my apartment door. “I’m gonna go put the bags in your room. Okay?” he asks me.

“Yeah, that’s fine.” I see Layla has figured out that our strange friendship has gone to the next level.

“I’m happy for you, kiddo. Just remember to protect yourself,” she says as she turns to walk into the kitchen to the fridge and pulls out a beer. “So are you kids ready for dinner, because I am starving!”

“Yeah, I’m hungry. What about you, Ryder?” I ask him as I raise my voice so he can hear me in the room.

“Yeah, I could eat. Where we going?” he asks Layla.

“I was thinking about going to the little bar down the road.” She walks out and down the stairs.

Ryder walks up behind me and picks me up in a bear hug. He puts me down on my toes and I spin around to face him. He grabs ahold of my face and puts his lips to mine. “I can’t wait to get you naked tonight.”

I’ll never tire of hearing that! I can’t wait to be alone with him later in our own space.

***

We go to dinner with Layla and catch up on everything that has happened in the Truck Stop. Apparently, a “situation” occurred, but Ziggy and Flem sorted it out.

It was nice to see Layla. I did miss her. We return back from an amazing dinner and conversation. Layla gets out of the car and gives us both a big hug and a kiss. “Goodnight you guys!” she says, getting back in her car and driving away.

We walk into the bedroom after locking up the house and I head into the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.

“Don’t bother putting any PJs on. Come out naked,” he orders.

I walk out of the bathroom completely naked and Ryder is sitting on the edge of the bed. He whistles through his teeth when he sees me standing there in front of him stark-ass naked. “God, I am one lucky son of a bitch! Come here and stand right in front of me.”

I walk over to where he wants me.

“Spread your legs and keep your arms at your side.”

I do as he says.

He walks circles around me, and it seems like he is checking me out from every angle. “Your body is amazing, and I love every part of you, Faith.” His lips touch my shoulder and I shudder. “Come and lay down on the bed, please,” he asks this time.

I walk over to the bed and move my way to the middle. He joins me and lies next to me. Leaning down, he kisses me passionately on the lips. I let out a slight moan and link my fingers behind his head.

“Make love to me.” I look him deep in his eyes and prop my head up so I can touch his big, sexy lips to mine.

I’ll never get sick of this man. He is everything to me, and I can feel it. I‘ve fallen and I’ve fallen hard. You can only kid yourself so much before you just have to give in. “Ryder, I’ve fallen in love with you. And I’m admitting to you right now that I love you. I love you with all my heart and soul.”

He props himself up on his elbow. “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to hear you say that.” He breathes into my ear as he nibbles on it. I let out another slight moan. “All that I’ve been thinking about is how to get you naked, and now I’ve got you naked and I
really
wanna make love to you. I want you to come all over my rock-hard cock while I’m sliding in and out of you.”

Holy shit! Who knew that talking like that would have my body in a stupor? I’m so wet I know I have a puddle underneath me. “Oh, God. Yes. Please. Do something, please. Make love to me. I love you,” I say with no reservations at all.

I grab his hands and bring him to me. He holds me and moves his hand to my warm, wet mound. He lets out a little growl and moves his fingers around my clit. My hips start to buck off the blanket as my bundle of nerves starts to ache and I know that I am going to orgasm soon. “Oh, Ryder....You're gonna make me come now,” I moan into his neck as I pull him closer to me.

“That’s it babe, just remember that you’re mine and I’m going to take you tonight and claim you,” he says into my ear as he bites my lobe.
Oh, God, this man is amazing!

The way that he is making me feel is amazing. I have never dreamed of feeling this alive. My stomach starts to get the familiar ache that it gets when I am getting ready for my sexual release.

I buck my hips up to meet his fingers as he dips two of them inside me and starts to move in a slow but determined manner. He strokes my g-spot and my whole body quivers. “That’s it, babe. Let yourself go. I love feeling your tight pussy around my fingers. I remember what it tastes like, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since I licked your pussy this morning,” he says with a hitch in his voice. I hear his breathing is uneven and he is rock-fucking hard against my leg.

I reach down between us and run my hand over his stretched jeans. He shakes his head no. I try and grab for him. I want to feel that nice, hard cock in my little hands.

“This is about you right now. I want you to give yourself to me. Mhhhmmmm....I’ve been waiting to get my mouth on these,” he says, leaning his head down, taking one of my puckered nipples into his mouth.

He flicks it again, making it stand at attention. While he slowly moves his fingers in and out of me, his thumb rolls around on my clit with pressure. I let out a low, gurgled moan, lock my fingers around his neck again, and pull his face toward me. “Ryder, you’re really going to make me explode.”

“Get off when you want, but this is your only free pass on that,” he says, as he looks deep into my eyes. “I am going to lay claim to you, Faith. You’re going to become mine. You will be on the back of my bike and in my sleeper. You’re now my woman,” he says, and every time he says the word “my” he punctuates it with kisses on my lips.

I let out a muffled scream-moan as I am rocked from head to toe with the best orgasm I have ever had. Ryder continues to move his fingers in and out, but he is moving faster and harder.

Just as my body is starting to come down from its high, my hips are lifted off the bed and then the familiar full feeling I get when Ryder has his cock inside me. I let out a low "oh" and moan.

“Yeah, babe. Stretch that puss around my hard cock. You know this cock is yours. It was made for you.” He leans down and takes my nipple in his mouth and I let out another grunted moan.

“Oh, shit! Faith. You feel too amazing. I’m not going to make it as long as I thought I was going to. Ah,
fuck
!” He pumps four times real hard and fast. He slaps my clit. “Come with me.
Now
!” Slaps it again and I scream so loud that I feel like I could burst my eardrums.

“I love you, Ryder,” I say as he collapses on my chest.

“I love you, too, Faith,” he rasps, and we fall asleep with our bodies entwined together.

Ryder

WAKING UP WITH FAITH
in my arms this time is so different. She finally told me that she loves me, and to my cold heart, that shit felt good. Felt good to be deep inside her and it felt good to release my cum inside her while she told me she loved me. Yes, that was even better. Now to make her mine for good.

Looking over at her asleep and gently snoring with hair laid out on the pillow next to her, I sit up and grab my phone from my jeans. Tiptoeing into the kitchen, I call Ziggy.

“Yeah, someone better be fuckin’ dying.” He coughs into the phone.

Closing the bedroom door behind me, I snap out in a low voice, “Fuck face, I need you to do me a favor.” I hear moving around on the other end of the phone.

“What the fuck could you possibly need at two o’clock in the morning?” he yells back at me through the phone.
