I don’t know what I had expected from Ryder, but this hadn't been it. Not this gentleness from him. He kissed his way back up my legs, sending small bumps and gentle waves of heat to my core, until he reached my ass. I felt his teeth a second before they sank in, softly nipping at the skin. I yelped and spun around.
He was naked, his Celtic brands pulsing beneath his skin. His eyes glowed with liquid gold as they looked up at me from the floor as I stepped out from the panties. I exhaled shakily as he bared my flesh for his inspection, slowly coming back up, watching me with dangerous fire lighting in his eyes. "Are you wet for me Syn?"
I moaned as his fingers pressed against the growing ache he was creating inside of me, his fingers rubbing against my naked sex as his mouth lowered until it found mine and kissed me softly. I capture his moan with my lips. His tongue pushed through my lips, demanding more. He pulled away, leaving me breathless as his wickedly handsome smile flowed up to shine in his bronze gaze.
"Get in the bath Syn, before I bend you over and fuck you right here, right now."
I shook from the intensity inside his voice, smooth and commanding. I turned and stepped over the edge and sank beneath the bubbles hurriedly. The water was warm and comforting even with my nerves fighting to take control. I watched Ryder from the corner of my eye as he stepped into view with his playful grin still in place.
His legs were thickly muscled, but bare of tattoos, his manhood stood up erect as it pressed against his navel. My lungs stopped working as I took it in. Nerves flared to life inside my mind as I considered high tailing it out of the tub. The guy was amazing, his body sleek and well defined mass of muscles.
"You're staring at my dick," he said rasping his words, as if he was as hot and bothered as I was. This bath was doomed to a half-life with the heat level inside the room.
I tore my eyes away from him with a nervous laugh bubbling inside of me. He stepped in and slid his magnificent body in slowly into the water. "Relax Syn, I promise to be gentle—the first time."
"The first time?" I asked meeting his hard penetrating stare.
His eyes challenged me, but he remained silent as he pulled one of my legs out from where I had been holding them up against my body. His eyes stayed locked with mine as his fingers rubbed the pads of my foot. "This isn't going to be over fast Syn, it's going to take more than once to get you out of my system."
I wasn’t sure I wanted to be out of his system. I should have been happy to hear it, but it sat like a rock on my chest. "You really think you can fuck me out of your system?"
"No Syn, nothing with you could be that easy," he said showing his teeth as he pulled my leg and made me lose my balance in the water.
I splashed on instinct, caught off guard by his heated words. His laughter now echoed through the room as he pulled me closer by my leg. I sputtered, spitting bubble bath from my mouth as I came up inches away from his lips. "You’re an ass!" I tried to sound stern. Instead it came out followed by laughter, which only grew as he watched me.
"By the Gods, you're so fucking beautiful Syn," he whispered as the laughter died down. I swallowed and tried to think of something to say back to him. I gave in and kissed his lips instead, it was the first time I'd kissed him and I wasn’t ready for the fire that ignited inside of us.
He picked me up easily, water cascading from our bodies as he stepped out of the tub without breaking the kiss and carried me into the other room. When he did break the kiss, I growled with the need for him to continue, it made his eyes constrict with heat. I allowed him to set me slowly on the floor, as his hands trailed down my body.
“I need you to know that we are leaving here within twenty four hours, I’m going to use every fucking minute of it Syn.”
“Ryder," I whispered not sure how to get out of this unscathed.
"Twenty four hours, anything I want to do to do you. Give me that much Syn," his voice matched mine and was raspy, hoarse. He was one hundred percent Fae in this place, hunter to the core. His eyes tracked every minuscule move I made.
My core jerked awake with his words. Twenty four hours of giving Ryder what he wanted. The image of his body fucking Claire's came floating to my mind. My throat closed, as my mouth went dry. The idea was terrifying and enticing at the same time. Ryder wasn’t the type of man you walked away from. You crawled on hands and knees; trying to remember who you had been before his touch corrupted you.
"Decide, now."
"One condition," I whispered, knowing I'd already lost the fight.
He cocked a dark eyebrow and tilted his head, listening.

She thinks she can bargain with me. I can smell her * already. Begging to be fucked by me. She's succumbing to the alcohol in her system. She’s not on edge here, not yet. Her eyes are constricting with need, her * clenching with the need to be punished and used by me.
