Nodding, he dug one out of his wallet. He quickly stripped off his jeans and boxers, finally tearing his shirt off as an afterthought. Emily eagerly reached out and ripped the foil packet open, sliding the rubber down over his aching shaft.
She ran her hand up and down his thick length, and his cock jumped.
Jesus.
She needed to stop touching him or he’d come right here.
“Make love to me, Ryker,” she said, and in that moment, he could deny her nothing. She parted those creamy thighs for him, and he gazed at her a moment, entranced. Lining himself up at her entrance, he slowly pushed inside, ducking down to kiss her mouth as he claimed her.
Emily was tight, her inner walls still pulsing with her orgasm. She wrapped her slender legs around his waist though, her arms hanging onto his torso. Of course this woman would cling to him while he made love to her. Had she not done the same thing last night?
She was wrapped around Ryker like she belonged to him.
He kissed her as he bucked into her beautiful body, determined to make her come once more before he chased after his own release. He angled himself, grinding his erection against her clit as he dove deeper, and she gasped.
“That’s it, baby,” he said huskily. “Come one more time for me.”
“Ryker, oh God,” she whimpered.
He increased the pace, Emily tightening her hold on him, and with a few more quick thrusts, she was crying out his name again. Her inner walls clamping down around him caused his own release, and Ryker’s balls tightened as he shot his load into the condom.
Fuck, that was amazing.
He rolled to his back, pulling Emily right along with him, so that she was astride his semi-hard cock. Her body perched atop him was pure heaven, and she ducked down and kissed him. His arms wrapped tightly around her, securing her in place, pinning her to him. She was his, exactly where she belonged—right here with him, safe in his arms.
Chapter 17
Emily slathered some peanut butter on a slice of bread that afternoon, glancing over at Ryker. They’d made love twice this morning before cleaning up and showering together, finally getting something to eat.
“Hey, I got it working!” he said, a grin flashing across his face.
“Thank God,” she teased, watching as the coffee finally began to brew. The scent of her dark roast filled the small kitchen, and she swore that her mouth began to water. After that awful hospital coffee, she was ready for the real deal.
Ryker smirked and crossed the room toward her, ducking down to steal a kiss. “I’ve got loads of amazing talents.”
“In or out of the bedroom?”
“Both,” he quipped. “Although this counter looks quite sturdy….”
She laughed and moved out of the way as he playfully grabbed at her. “You’re the one who said I needed to eat more—and I’m starving. Someone kept me busy for a few hours after I woke up this morning.”
“Yes ma’am,” he said, putting his hands down at his sides.
She smiled and walked around him. Goodness. She didn’t know what had come over her earlier, but when she’d come out of the bathroom and seen him standing there, she’d needed him as badly as she’d needed her next breath.
Sleeping in his arms last night had felt amazing. It was odd to sleep beside a man she’d never so much as kissed before, but he’d been there when she needed him. He’d comforted and held her. And she was more attracted to him than she wanted to admit.
Lots of men didn’t seem to like that she was committed to her career. Some guys were old fashioned and thought the woman should stay at home playing house while they went off and worked. Ryker seemed to get what she wanted—to understand her need to continue her career.
Plenty of guys didn’t want kids, but they also didn’t want their woman to have as fast-paced job like she did. With Ryker, she sensed that wouldn’t ever be an issue.
The fact that sex with him was off the charts was just the icing on the cake.
“Did you talk to Caroline or your parents earlier?” Ryker asked, bringing her mind back to the present.
“Both. Caroline’s working with some officials at State. It seems insane that those guys got into the country so quickly, but I guess one was a U.S. citizen. The other had a visa, and there hadn’t been any previous alerts on them. They flew in unnoticed.”
Ryker nodded. “They won’t find you here, Em. And even if they somehow did, they’d never get past me. Not that you can’t protect yourself,” he said, catching the expression on her face. “But the point is, you don’t need to when I’m around.”
