Chapter 17: Missing PiecesRyder “Holy shit!” I unconsciously said in a whisper. Again, not meaning to say it out loud.Demi giggled and stopped walking when she was only six feet away from me. She clasped her hands together in front of her waist. “What is it? Do you like my dress? I thought I could wear something different. I mean, I never experiment with my clothing because I am always training or fighting, or-.” “You're beautiful.” I said, not waiting for her to finish what she was saying. I could tell she was nervous.Her face reddened and she looked down toward her feet, shyly using her fingers to pull a strand of hair behind her ear. “What? I mean… you like it?” I took the final steps toward her that was needed to close the distance between us. I grabbed her hand and lifted it above her head. Gently, I turned her around so I could get a better look at her backside. Mumm… Shit she’s, fucking hot! “You’re asking me if I
Chapter 18: Meeting MotherRyder “It’s nothing.” She said, I raised the bottom of my shirt and attempted to wipe at her face. I was only able to wipe away a little makeup when she jerked away from me again. This time she stood up.“Ryder, I told you. It’s nothing. I just slipped in the shower that’s all. I thought I covered it well enough.” “Slipped in the shower? Demi, the whole left side of your face is bruised, let me see.” “No, can we just let it go and continue our conversation?” She asked me. Her facial features had shifted now. She looked bothered by something. “Did someone hurt you?” I stepped near her again, but she backed away. “NO! No one hurt me. I told you I slipped in the shower. It was a hard fall. That’s all. It’s embarrassing really. I tried hard to cover it.” Using my enhanced speed, I captured her by the waist. She stopped breathing for a moment, shocked by my hands on her body. We stood there with our
Chapter 19: Glitter in the SkyDemiRyder walked me through the back door of the castle, it was the closest entrance from the lake. You think I would be taking in the beautifully decorated structure, but all I could think about was the way Ryder kissed me. He dominated my lips, taking charge of the kiss. Tingles radiated through my body, and I felt my juices pooling between my legs when he pulled me close like he couldn’t get enough of me. The butterfly’s fluttered about in my stomach every time he looked at me. This man always intrigued me, and as he walked just a little ahead of me he would often look back and meet my gaze as he was explaining what all the rooms were and where all the hallways went. Yeah, I didn’t listen to a word he was saying.We walked past an archway that exited the main hallway into the pool area. There was no door there, it was just a straight walk outside. There was two bathrooms that were conveniently located near the exit, no doubt that’s where everyone get
Chapter 20: Grumpy PrinceRyderI laid back in my bed with my arms under my head. I couldn’t sleep. My thought’s kept wandering back to Demi and the kiss we shared today. It was heart stopping, and I am becoming obsessed with the thought of kissing her again, of touching her, caressing her, tasting her.Unable to take it any longer, I slid out of bed and stripped out of my clothes. I have to jerk one off if I plan to get any sleep tonight. Stepping under the hot stream of the water, images of Demi flashed in my mind. I imagined her body, nothing covering her curves. Every inch of her golden skin on display for me. My eager eyes drink her in. Her tits with perfect pink nipples, waiting for my mouth, ready for me to nip and suck. I let myself imagine my eyes lingering down her body, over her curvy waist and down to a smooth shaved pussy. Damn, I want to slide my fingers between her folds and fe
Chapter 21: PursuitRyderWith every sit up I did, I wanted to do another… and another. That’s because every time I sat up, I would catch a glimpse of Demi, running on the treadmill, or doing jumping jacks. Her tits would bounce, drawing my eyes straight to her chest. That sports bra did nothing to contain her boobs, which was all but spilling out of her top. Then there were the squats. Oh… those fucking squats. The sight of her lowering down then up made me envision her on top of me, riding my cock like she couldn’t get enough. My dick was uncomfortably hard, but I’m not complaining.It was impossible to keep my thoughts focused on my workout and not on Demi. It was time to hit the showers before I knew it. When I stood from my position on the floor, our eyes met, and my heart leapt into my throat. She smiled at me. Damn, she’s so sexy. It took me a second to remember that I need to smile back, so I did with a wink. Then I let my eyes roam the length of her sweat soaked body. Her mes
Chapter 22: Challenge AcceptedDemi“Also, Luca and I are going on a trip to the pack. I assume since you are assigned to me, you will be going as well?” Ryder asked me.“Yeah, wherever you go, I will go also. I just need to update Selene and Typhon often.” Ryder gave me another crooked smile. His eyes traced my face, then lowered to my lips, then to my breasts that were on full display from the small workout top. The way he licked his lips gave me a pretty good idea of what he was thinking about. “Ryder…” I said to pull him out of his naughty thoughts. He looked back up to my eyes and I noticed they were now hooded, and lust filled. Now it was my turn to give Ryder a grin. “Don’t think I don’t know what you were thinking just now.” I teased him.“Oh yeah, what was I thinking?” I stood from my seat walking over to the trash bin to empty my tray. Ryder stood to follow me. I looked over my shoulder and gave him a flirty smile.“Your naughty thoughts are obvious, prince.” I hurried for t
Chapter 23: Best FriendsRyderI don’t know what I would have done if Demi would have denied my advances. Something about that girl draws me in like a dragon to a flame. The feeling is kin to instinct, like I know she’s right for me. It’s almost time to leave for the Harmony Moon pack and I am excited to see everyone. My grandparents are Alpha King Gabriel and Luna Queen Harper. My grandmother had her Lycan given to her personally by the Moon Goddess Selene. That’s unreal to think about. Since My grandmother had a Lycan, when she and my grandfather recognized their mate bond his wolf became a Lycan. Damn, what it would have been like to live in those days. The stories of Thane Kago make me want to locate his remains to resurrect him. Then I would indulge in his slow torture, then send him back to hell, or wherever he is. “You ready to go, Ryder?” I heard Luca call from my open doorway. “Yeah. I’ll be out in a second.” I zipped up my bag and threw it over my sho
Chapter 24: Tension Between GodsRyderDemi and I followed Tanner upstairs to our allotted rooms. Luca, Demi and I all three had rooms next to each other. Passing by I knocked on Luca’s door. “Go away! I don’t want you to see me like this. I’ll be damned if I give you another thing to use against me, you asshole. I know you swerved and stopped fast to make me sicker. Don’t think I don’t know!” I laughed because he’s right. Though I didn’t know it would turn around and bite me in the ass when it took double the time for us to get here. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, damn. I was just checking on you. How did you even know it was me?” I asked. He probably sensed my strong presence or something like that. “You’re the only arrogant friend I have that will purposefully knock harder on my door than necessary when you know I have a headache. You act like you love me, but I’m starting to think you feed off my suffering. Like the little devil you ar
