She huffed. “You cannot just tie people up, Harris! Hasn’t anyone ever told you this?”
“I do what I have to do. Do I need to remind you of that?” He lowered his jeans and his briefs with them.
Huffing with disgust, Riley turned her head away and shut her eyes. She just wouldn’t look. She knew better than to look. He was built like a fucking tank. She knew this. All those hard planes, abs and powerful everything!
He kept chuckling as his weight dipped the bed. “Ridge,” he whispered. “Come on. You know you did not come all the way here to…”
Tears slipped down her cheeks.
He halted. “Dammit Ridge.”
She refused to speak and now she’d blown it. Crying like a little kid. Yeah, great way to keep your dignity.
He grasped her face and lowered his lips to hers. “I’m sorry. I-I do love you Ridge.”
Her eyes opened rounding as she gazed into those emerald depths of his. She’d dreamed of hearing this from those yummy lips in that deep voice and she never thought she would. But he couldn’t just say what he knew she wanted to hear and that be that. “You have a funny way of showing it!”
“I’m holding you hostage. I won’t let you go ever again. I will shower you, feed you. Keep you.”
She licked her lips at the memories these words brought. “Well, those are the strangest vows I ever heard.”
He laughed. “God, you are beautiful.”
“Well, apparently, a forgettable beauty.” She pouted.
He caressed her face with gentle fingers. “I was tortured night and day. Every minute of every hour. I couldn’t get you out of my head or my heart. I think I was going insane.”
Her eyes got beady. Still not good enough. If he only knew how much she’d cried. What she felt like when she got to the mountain to see the cabin empty. Her soul felt empty, barren. She’d never felt so alone like she did that day.
He couldn’t help but smile at her doubtful expression. “Oh, you don’t believe me?”
She pursed her lips. “Love them and leave them Harris. You just rolled me to get sex then you left!”
“Dammit, Ridge. I would have come and got you or shoot myself in the head. One or the other.”
Her eyes widened.
He nodded. “There’s no life without you. I was planning just tonight to come and kidnap you. I couldn’t take it anymore. Was going to take you right out of his arms and keep you.”
“B-but I wasn’t ever in his arms, Harris.”
He sighed as his forehead met hers. “I didn’t know. I wanted you to be happy.”
“I was for once in my life.”
He stared into her eyes.
“When I was with you, you big dumb beast.”
Laughing, he replied, “Well, I’m going to make you happy again.” He rose up and reached into a drawer on his night stand. Raising up scissors, he lowered them down and cut through her shirt. Then he tugged it off. “The bra has to go.” He snipped it at the center and it fell to the sides. Licking his lips, he smiled. “Yum. It will be days and days till you are allowed to wear underwear of any kind.” He then snipped away her pants. Moving down, he removed her shoes and socks too.
Her mouth fell open in shock. “Harris, you didn’t have to—”
He placed his fingers on her lips. “Shhh, I am the captor here and you are my hostage.” Moving up over her, his satiny skin skimmed her bare body.
She remained unmoved, bracing herself. She was still so mad. But god, he was magnificent, just like she remembered.
Harris then did something odd, he kissed the top of her head. Shoving his face deep into her hair, he kissed it again.
Freezing, she hadn’t expected something so tender—something so unlike him.
Next, he moved to her forehead and kissed her there. Skimming his way down, he kissed her nose. “So cute, that little nose.” He kissed it again.
Speechless, Riley just laid there. What the hell was this?
Kissing her cheeks, her chin, he moved over to her ear and tongued the inside of it.
Her body jumped a little with his warm, wet tonguing of her ear.
He moved to her other ear, tonguing that too.
Her entire body shivered.
His mouth moved down along her neck, kissing and nipping her skin.
Dammit, she was already wet. No, don’t give in.
Working his way down, he covered her chest with his mouth, his tongue, tasting her. Finally, he got to her breasts and grabbed both of them, pushing them together and working his mouth across both nipples back and forth.
Her body rippled with the electric feeling as he teased each nipple with his teeth. Releasing them, he moved down along her stomach.
Her chest heaved, as she felt bereft with the loss of his oral attention to her nipples.
All the while, he squeezed her skin with his hands while his mouth got to every inch it could, laving her, kissing her. He groaned to her belly button as he even stuck his tongue in there.
