“I may not have said the words, Ash, but I’ve showed you how I feel.”
“You did?” I whisper.
Sorting through my muddled brain, I try and think.
But all I come up with is that I love him.
Everything he’s done has made me fall in love with him. Every look, touch, and note he left, made me fall head over ass in love with him.
Oh, I guess he has shown me.
Looking into his eyes, I see it there.
Pulling him down to my lips, I sear mine to his, willing them to never be separated.
Heat blooms in my chest, and a fire ignites. My veins are overflowing with the love I have for this man.
I can’t get enough of him.
He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever known.
I now know why no man has ever captured my attention. It was because none of them were Ryan.
Ryan is who my dad told me to wait for. I never settled for mediocre because I always knew he was out there, waiting for me, like I’ve been waiting for him.
Chapter 26
1 month later…
“Ashley, come on, sweetheart!” Ryan yells up the stairs to me.
“Relax, Ry!” I yell back. “I’ll be down in a second!”
“Don’t make me come up there to get you!”
“I think I’d like that very much, sheriff!” Smiling, I do a little spin in the mirror. If he came up here, I know he’d never let me leave. Not that I would mind. It’s kind of my plan right now. We won’t be going to dinner if I have any say in the matter.
It’s been a month since my accident, and a month since I moved in with Ryan. I still can’t believe that. I never thought I’d move in with a man after just a week. But I’ve always kind of done whatever I wanted.
My concussion stopped being an issue almost two weeks ago, but Ryan just won’t listen. And so I’m ready for a night of seducing him until he gives me exactly what I want.
Him.
Unhinged and blinded by passion.
He’s been too afraid to take me like he did before the accident, and I’m going crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take him any way I can–gentle, loving, caring. But I need that dark storm that brews inside of him.
It’s what drew me to him in the first place.
I love seeing that dark side of the good sheriff.
So, I’ve decided on bringing out the big guns. My leather trimmed lingerie awaits him under my carefully chosen outfit. I’ve gone with a short leather skirt over my sheer black polka dot tights, thigh high stiletto black suede boots, and a tight black, off the shoulder sweater.
I straightened my hair, and then curled it in big, loose waves that fall down my back, and my makeup is sultry, with a smoky eye and bold red lip. I know he won’t be able to stop staring at my lips, which is exactly what I want.
With one last look in the mirror, I smile, ready to face my man.
“Ashley!” he yells again, but stops when he sees me walking down the stairs. His heated eyes start at my feet, and travel up the length of my body, his stare like a caress.
