An out-of-place anger filled the kid named Peter's face at Ryder's curt demand. His sixth sense kicked into gear telling him he needed to do a bit of research on thisone.
"I'm not hungry, Ryder. I only want to drink and... I need to go to the..." She was adorable when she blushed. "You need to take the damn thingout..."
Instead of answering, he reached to take the small bag of baby carrots and the apple from the out-of-place worker, examining them before opening the bag and taking one carrotout.
"Open up,baby."
Anger flashed in her eyes. "You're nuts. I'm too tired toeat."
He leaned closer, talking softly into her ear. "I'm not big on excuses. It's late. You've barely eaten and you're clearly exhausted." He pressed the carrot to her lips as they stood in a silent standoff. When she delayed, he added a stern, "Open."
He watched her pupils register surprise just before her lips parted, allowing him to slide the healthy snack into her mouth, adding a "Chew" for good measure. Only after she'd swallowed did he add a pleased, "Goodgirl."
Pleasure replaced defiance in her eyes, as he repeated the routine with a half dozen more carrots before reaching for the now ready sandwich. He led her to an empty chair lined up along an out-of-the-way wall, taking a seat and pulling her into hislap.
Herhumphas she sat coincided with the end of the plug jamming into his thigh, shoving deeper into her stretchedchannel.
Her protests were back, "I don'twant..."
He shoved a bite into her mouth as she spoke, telling her with actions that he didn't care what she wanted. He knew what sheneeded.
It was a testament to how tired she was that she didn't fight him harder as he fed her half the sandwich, a bottle of water and the rest of the carrots. The fact that he suspected it was the biggest meal she'd had in days pissed himoff.
Her eyes were drooping by the time he set aside the rest of the food. He pulled her into an intimate embrace, rocking slightly in a calming way as she snuggled her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes with asigh.
"You're safe. I've got you," hewhispered.
His next scan of the room found a pensive Trevor stationed about a dozen feet away, arms crossed and a glare on his face. The men's gazes connected and for the first time since they'd met, Ryder saw approval staring back. With a small nod, Khloe's guard retraced his steps, giving them someprivacy.
He held her like that for fifteen minutes while the rest of the cast and crew enjoyed the impromptu break. Only when the director's patience was at an end did Ryder reluctantly wake the beauty in hisarms.
"Princess, time to wakeup."
She startled awake. "I can't believe I fell asleep. What time isit?"
"Time to get back towork."
"Can I..." she paused and finished quietly, "go to thebathroom?"
"Of course. I'll takeyou."
"That won't benecessary..."
"Yes, baby, it is. I'll need to get you put back togetheragain."
"But..."
He put his finger to her lips, shushing her. Once on her feet, he led her to the ladies' room, not bothering to knock. Two older women who were extras in the film quickly rushed out, leaving them with a bit of privacy. He threw the deadbolt on the door to ensure it stayed thatway.
Khloe's eyes were wide when he turned back towards her. He suspected she had planned on someprivacy.
"Turn around, baby. Hands on thecounter."
"You aren't gonna spank me again, are you? I mean I didn't do anything wrong thistime."
"As much as I'd love to, naw. I'll help you with yourhitchhiker."
Their eyes were locked in the full mirror in front of them as he lifted her skirt and pushed aside her panties to grab onto the end of the plug. "Exhale for me and push itout."
