If I'd been using my brain I might have asked why, but Mister Sex Incarnate was inches from my lips and the only thing I could think of was what he had been doing to Claire in his office and how I had wanted to trade places with her, which was crazy.
When his mouth found mine it wasn’t a crushing kiss, or hard. Instead it was tender and firm as he tested me. When he touched me it was electrical, like standing next to a live wire while sparks flew from it to land on you and yet you were trapped in place by its beauty. That was the only way to describe his touch and kiss. It scared me. It was intense—more than I had ever felt with Adrian.
I knew the instant he pushed his Fae powers on me. Everything else faded away and my only need was to take him. "Ryder," I said with my voice filled of need.
"Do you want me to stop?" He asked pulling further away as he pulled the magic with him.
I swallowed but pulled him back down. "Did you get what you needed, for the science thing?"
His eyes lit up and he shook his head as more Fae magic pushed into my mind. It was painful at first but gone instantly when his lips caressed mine. I moaned and pushed against his mouth with need for him, hot and fierce, that I was afraid I'd be left in a pile of ash if he didn’t continue and give me more of him. When he pulled away I cried from the loss. "Ryder."
"What's your name?" He demanded in fiery voice filled with lust.
"Syn. Now shut up and kiss me Ryder."
His lips tugged in the corner before he kissed me again, more demanding this time, his hand cradling my neck as he moved over the top of me and ground his erection against my pelvis. More power filtered in and he kept asking my name or other questions as I answered and demanded more of him.
My body was an inferno, my center saturated with the proof of his sexual allure and power he held inside of himself. My body willing, my mind was still intact enough that I knew who I was and where I was. I shook with it, my hands found his head and pulled him back down as his knee slid between my legs and pressed against my core.
"Do you want me to stop? I need to know, because if we go too much further Pet, I’m going to bury myself deep inside of you." He asked pulling away from the kiss.
"I…" I didn’t know, for the first time in my life I wanted to tell a Fae yes, that I wanted him. And only him.
"I want to feed from you so fucking badly, Syn. I need to part your legs drive my cock inside of you, I want to see you as you come on my cock."
His words penetrated my brain like a knife through an eye socket. "No, Ryder I can't."
"Can't, or won't Syn?" He growled in frustration.
I was about to answer when a soft knock sounded from the door. Ryder was up and fixing his erection against his jeans before I could say anything else. My eyes latched on to it as it stood proudly against his navel. I licked my lips wanting to ask him to stay, but not knowing how to. I knew where he'd go after this. I could see his hunger burning in his eyes.
"You keep saying you can't and it's a lie. You won't. You hide in the fucking past. You're not living Syn, you're just going through the motions of it. You want me, I can smell it—you need it as much as I do right now. The difference is, I can admit to what I want—you can't."
I gulped in air and fought for something to say while he waited, watching me struggle internally. He snorted and turned for the door. "Wait, Ryder I—"
"Save it," he interjected cutting me off. "I own you Syn, so know this. While you're under my roof and my protection, the only release you will get, is from me. Not by your hand or another's, when you can grow the fuck up and admit to me what your body already knows—well you know where to find me."
I watched him turn and walk out of the room as Larissa and Adam walked in wide eyed.
"Oh hell Syn, your lips are kiss-me-silly swollen," Larissa said with wide shocked eyes.
"She's more than that baby," Adam responded when I couldn’t find the words. He was holding her hand and I wanted to cry. I'd never have that again, the love they felt for one another. It would be forever beyond my grasp.
"So, what's up with you and Ryder anyways?" Larissa asked floating in to sit on the bed while she dragged Adam with her.
"Nothing," I lied and felt a pinch of regret for doing so. "I'm immune to him apparently, well mostly. He can't turn me into a mindless zombie, but I do feel his powers, just not on a level I should."
"That mother fucker tried to turn you FIZ? I'll fucking kill him!' Adam was enraged and off the bed in seconds taking long strides to the door.
"I asked him to, well sorta." I said quickly to stop Adam from getting his ass handed to him, which I was pretty sure Ryder would do right now if disturbed with Claire and his damn desk.
"Wait, wait a minute. You hate the Fae. What the hell is wrong with you?" Adam demanded coming back over to sit on the bed beside Larissa.
I blew out a deep breath, "This brand on my neck, it's not for the Fae Adam. Ryder doesn’t know what it says and I’m pretty sure he's older than dirt."
