“Bedroom,” I moan. “Second door.” He walks down the hall. With a low growl he continues his path, his head dipping, his tongue trailing down my neck and landing on my chest. I throw my head back as his mouth envelops my nipple. I hear my door slam shut and then he drops me, my back hitting the soft bed.
 
 Ryder yanks my pants down my legs, taking my underwear with them. For a minute he looks down at my body, his eyes taking me in, a fire igniting in them as he keeps his gaze on me but lowers his hands to pop the button on his jeans, pushing them down off his hips.
 
 My eyes widen as I take in all of him. “You like what you see?” He climbs onto the bed, the mattress dipping, and he moves up to hover over me.
 
 “Very much.”
 
 His hand trails up my body, leaving goose bumps in its wake. “I’ve dreamt about this, having you underneath me again, for seven years. Every night I went to sleep, I reached out for you. I hope you didn't have any plans tonight because, now that I have you, we aren’t leaving this bed for a long fucking while.”
 
 I laugh as he kisses the skin between my breasts. Each time he lifts his head his kiss moves lower and lower, my eyes tracking his, feeling his strong hands splay over my hip bones, a huge smile on his face. My body tenses as I ready myself for what he’s about to do. He finally lowers his mouth, his tongue tracing a line up me, stopping at my clit. I grip the sheets, the material bunched in my tensed hands. A moan escapes me as his tongue enters me and his thumb glides down, circling my clit. I start to buck, unable to stay still with the pleasure crackling through me.
 
 He nips at my skin and I groan. “Don’t hold back. I want to hear you. I want to know how good I’m making you feel.”
 
 I can feel my body building. “Ryder!” My body explodes into a million pieces.
 
 Ryder crawls closer to my face. “Hearing you scream my name while my tongue was inside of you was the sexiest thing I’ve ever fucking heard. Only thing better would be hearing you scream while my dick is inside you.”
 
 My hands trail up his arms and play with the hair at the back of his neck. “You keep talking like that, you won’t even need to touch me for me to go over the edge again.”
 
 “Maybe we'll have to try that someday. For now, I need you.” His hand grips my ass and pulls me closer to him. “You on the pill? I want to be inside you and feel every inch, nothing between us.”
 
 The way he asks shocks me. “I am.”
 
 His tongue peeks out, wetting the crease of his lips. He leans down, kissing my neck, inching closer to my entrance. I arch my back, begging him to take me because more than anything I want to feel him inside me, to be close with him again.
 
 When he slides in I gasp, giving myself a moment to adjust to his size. Once he starts to move, a moan falls out of my lips and I almost don’t even recognize my own voice.
 
 “Let me hear you, babe,” Ryder’s rough voice growls out.
 
 He starts to move faster and I dig my nails into the skin on his back.
 
 Everything inside of me tightens.
 
 His arms tense as he moves. “Fuck, you are so goddamn tight. I can't last much longer.”
 
 “I’m close.” My voice is breathy. I can’t think straight.
 
 When his head dips and he nips at my neck, I fall off the cliff, arching into him as he stills and a loud growl reverberates through his chest.
 
 Ryder collapses on the bed next to me. “Jesus Christ, I missed you.”
 
 I missed him, too.
 
 More than I’m willing to admit.
