“Hell no, I don’t.” His hand threads through my hair, and desire crackles like a live wire between us. “I’m always going to look after you, but I promise, I’ll never stand in your way again.”
Ridge repositions me with a groan and I squirm over his hardening cock, suddenly remembering his siblings. I glance around the room, cheeks reddening, only to discover they’ve gone, having closed the door behind them.
“We’re alone,” I state the obvious and Ridge chuckles, bringing my attention back to him.
“I meant what I said about walking away from it all. I’m still willing if that’s what you want.” His expression steals my breath—his heart is out, and mine for the taking.
He frowns and—maybe misinterpreting my silence for doubt—rushes on, “I will leave Canyon Spring in the hands of my brothers and sisters, if that’s what you want. We can leave it behind, go somewhere new, and forget it even exists. We can start over. You, me, the baby, and Travis too, if he wants.”
“You… You…” I shake my head, eyes now brimming with unshed tears. “Why would you do that?”
He smiles tenderly and brushes the wetness from my cheek. “Because I don’t want it, Lace. Not as much as I want you. And none of it is worth a damn if I can’t have you here by my side.”
“I want you too.”
His wide, sexy grin causes a flutter deep in my belly, and a low growl rips from him as he hoists me up onto his desk. With his free arm, he clears the tabletop in one quick sweep.
I gasp as a laptop, papers, pens, and who knows what else clatters to the carpet. “Ridge. You’re going to break something.”
He looms over me, head dipping toward the crook of my neck. “I don’t fucking care. All I care about is you. Being inside you. What do you say, Lace?”
He sucks my pulse at the hollow between my neck and shoulder, and my heart stutters. I’m lost to the feel of his warm, soft lips as he trails tiny kisses down my neck. His teeth scrape at my flesh, and I jerk at the sharp sensation shooting to my core.
He moans against my skin. “Lace, answer me.”
Reluctant to focus on anything but what this man does to me, I pull back. “What?”
“I want to make love to you.” His hands latch on to my heavy, aching breasts.
“Ridge. Yes.” My head falls back onto the desk as I thrust my chest farther into his strong, capable fingers, rubbing the swollen peaks through my flannel.
“We need this shirt off you. All of it. Now.” Distractedly, his hungry gaze slides from my chest up to my face. “I’m going to tie your wrists together with your wet panties.” He pulls at the waist band of my leggings. “Use these and your shirt to tie your legs.”
“Oh God.” My thighs rub together with an aching need.
He’s right, just the anticipation of him has me wet and burning all at the same time.
I fumble to get naked, needing him inside me, on top of me, all around me. “Let me do it.”
Quickly, I discard my clothes and he silently watches, hands fisted at his sides. I can feel the restraint it’s costing him to do nothing. To wait. The muscles in his forearms bunch and twitch as he flexes his hands open and closed.
What’s even sexier is watching him snap and lose all control. His nostrils flare as his hands dart out, snatching my underwear and leggings from my grasp. At the same time, his mouth closes over my now bare breast, tongue hot and wet, and sharp tingles shoot through me.
I buck and mewl when his thick knuckles brush along my center and he pushes me back onto the desk.
Bared to him, the sight brings a flare of heat to Ridge’s eyes, and I shiver at his desire. All of me.
My tongue darts out to wet my bottom lip and honestly, to tease him some more. I love watching him come undone. I’ve missed him.
Missed this.
Missed us.
“Fuck, Lace. You’re so ready.” His long digits slide through my slick folds. “Soaking for me.”
“I am.” I nod and spread my legs wider. The pads of his fingers brush against my sex in a way that sends a pleasurable jolt through me. “Ridge, fuck me.”
He bends down to kiss me, our mouths melding, tongues tangling, as he nestles his broad body in the cradle of my thighs. Kissing me, never stopping for air, he unbuckles his belt, unfastens the button, and drops his pants.
