Today, it’s just about Ryder and no one else.

Let’s face it, if anything on earth can take my mind off my entire life, it's sexy Ryder St. James.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

RYDER

––––––––

I pull up outside Savannah's front door and rest my arm on the steering wheel. The tattoos on my arm remind me of where I’ve come from and who she is.

A movie star.

One of the most popular women in the world right now.

Last night, I turned on the TV to stop thinking about her, and twenty minutes later her movie was promoted. Images of her beautiful face filled the screen, and I just shook my head.

Well, that and did finger guns at Nick’s face.

Then I got obsessed, wondering if the two of them have slept together. I don’t think so, but for a moment I had to tamper down my fury.

If I have my way, he will never touch her for real again.

Today I’m not worried about him.

I’ve made plans.

For a moment, doubts plow through me. I know Savannah is as sexually needy for me as I am for her, but I might have gone too far with my plans. We aren’t dating.

I don’t even know why I’ve done it, only that... fuck, I just wanted to. I want to see her smile and feel seen and appreciated.

Cared for.

Climbing out, I slide my sunglasses onto my head and stride toward the front door.

I knock.

“You have a key,” Savannah says when she opens the door. Heat fills her eyes as they roam the length of my body.

I step in.

Close the door and take her in my arms.

“I know,” I say before my mouth takes hers as I tip her backward.

Goddamn, she tastes incredible.

And looks sexy as hell.

It took seconds for me to appreciate the blue jeans and a crisp white cotton shirt which is unbuttoned to the bottom of her white lacy bra before stealing her lips.

“You smell nice,” she purrs up at me when I lift my lips off hers.

I let out a growl in response and notice her feet are bare. How am I turned on by her little toes?

But I am.

I slide my fingers through her long dark hair, which is freshly washed and falling around her shoulders in big waves.
