The scent of her engulfed him, drowned him,making his dick rise up painfully against his jeans.Being partedfrom her for a couple of moments already made him miss her so damnmuch.Those years they’d been apart felt such a waste.Yet part ofhim didn’t regret sending her away or rejecting her confession, notwhen she had that slim chance to find and build a life beyond whathe could offer.
“Ryker,” she began, slightly out of breathwhen he pulled away.She pouted, batting him away, clearlyembarrassed.“Giovanni can see us.What would he think?”
“Hmm.It’s not an issue.”
She crossed her arms and cutely continued toglower at him.
Giovanni let out a chuckle from behind hisdesk.“Go away, Ryker.It’s been a while since Sky and I had a nicechat.If it were another man who did that in front of me, they’d bedead by now.”
“I’ll see you soon,” he told Sky, reachingout to run his fingers through her silken hair.He wanted to fistthose strands, jerk her close and put his hands all over hertempting slender body.Leave his marks all over her.To bend herover and finally sink his dick into her sweet pussy.
Patience, he told himself.
“Okay,” she whispered.
He could feel her gaze on him as hedescended the staircase, whistling to himself.Ryker had years offilthy ideas stored in his head of what he’d do to her, and hecouldn’t wait to make those dirty fantasies a reality.
Chapter Six
“Did you enjoy your talk with Giovanni?”Ryker asked on their way home.
Sky fidgeted with her fingers on her lap andsighed.She told him the truth.“He spent half the time giving me alecture.It’s kind of nice though.”
“Nice?”Ryker prodded.
She shook her head.The moment she walkedinto Paolo’s and started speaking to Gino, Giovanni, and the otherFamilia members, it felt like she had finally come home.Sky hadmissed everyone so much.
She answered Ryker.“To have someone whocares.When I moved into a new city, I felt so alone.I couldn’ttalk to anyone.”
At a red stoplight, Ryker reached for herhand to give it a squeeze.“And the other half of the time?”
Sky blew out a breath, liking the feel ofRyker’s big, inked fingers over her smaller ones.“We talked aboutyou, about us.”
It felt odd, calling them “us” and wonderfulat the same time.
The light changed to green, and Ryker puthis hand back on the wheel.“Oh?Giovanni and you gossiping aboutme couldn’t be good.”
“He asked me if I was certain, becauseyou’re a man who never backs down.”
“What did you tell him?”
“That you’ve also been the only man I everwanted.”
“Good.Then there’s nothing more to talkabout.”
The rest of the drive turned out to be asilent one, but she didn’t mind.She missed those old times Rykertook her on a drive, with no direction in mind.They finallyreturned to the apartment.
“We should have gotten some dinner to takehome from Paolo’s, and I don’t think we have anything in thefridge.Should we order from somewhere?”she asked as he opened thedoor.
“I’m in the mood for something else otherthan food.”
Her heart thumped as Ryker locked the doorbehind her.Suddenly, she no longer cared about her physicalhunger.She blushed, unable to forget the image of Ryker kneelingin front of her that morning, prying her legs apart and thrustingthat talented tongue into her pussy.
Just one look from him tightened her nipplesand made her wet between the legs.
She approached him this time around,planting one hand over his massive chest.He watched her like ahungry wolf, not stopping her from lifting the hem of his shirt.She peeled it off, letting out a breath at the work of art thatdecorated his body.Over the stars across his chest, right over hisheart was ink she’d never seen before.
Sky gasped, running her fingers over hername.He clasped her fingers, blowing at them, before giving them akiss.
