RYDER (Slater Brothers 4) (8 page)

Oh, he was explaining his tenseness.

I nodded. “It’s cool, I won’t hold it against you.”

I could have sworn his lips twitched, but I wasn’t sure. “Thanks,” he said and glanced to Alec who was grinning at me.

Ryder sighed from underneath me. “Can you four go away now?”

“No,” Kane almost growled. “You said we could leave after Dominic fought. He fought and won so can we leave now?”

Damn, he wasn’t lying; he really didn’t look like he enjoyed being here.

Ryder looked to Dominic. “You fought?”

“And won.” He nodded.

I looked down to Ryder and caught his frown. “I didn’t hear the bells, or cheering. I actually didn’t hear a damn thing.”

Damien snorted. “I wouldn’t hear anything other than the beat of my own cock if Branna was on my lap either.”

I don’t know why, but I dramatically gasped.

“You dirty little bastard,” I said, shocked.

I wasn’t prepared for the burst of male laughter that followed my insult, nor was I fully ready to see the five brothers smile. What I
really
wasn’t ready for was to see Kane smile. My God, I didn’t know who was better looking of the five of them—well, I was sitting on my preference—but Kane won the award for best smile. It was stunning, and transformed his entire face.

“I apologise,” Damien said to me, still chuckling.

I eyed him. “You shouldn’t say stuff like that around women... or girls. How old are you?”

He didn’t break eye contact with me as he said, “Eighteen.”

He was a baby!

“My baby
sister
is almost eighteen.” I gulped.

Dominic grinned at me. “Is she as hot as you?”

I blinked. “She’s beautiful.”

Dominic’s eyes gleamed. “Maybe I’ll get to meet her if Ry lets you stick around.”

Let’s me stick around,
I silently repeated.
What did that mean?

“Not if I meet her first,” Damien said, nudging Dominic with his shoulder. “I call dibs.”

Dominic glared at his twin. “You don’t even know what she looks like, you can’t call dibs unless we see her at the same time. That’s the deal.”

They had a deal about dibs?

Damien jabbed his thumb in my direction. “If she looks like her, I’m calling an early dibs.”

Dominic narrowed his eyes. “Fine, whatever. She’s probably not even
that
hot.”

I glared at the pair of them. “She is beautiful, and hot, and everything in-between you little shites. Don’t talk about me sister like that unless you wanna go a few rounds with
me
. I’ll put you on your back before you could blink.”

Dominic’s jaw dropped while Alec and Damien cracked up laughing. I looked at them, then to Kane who was smirking at me before looking down to Ryder. I felt my cheeks stain with heat, but I refused to let them get away with that kind of talk about my blood.

“I’m not sorry,” I defended. “They shouldn’t talk about girls like that.”

“You’re right, they shouldn’t.” He looked at his brothers and shot them a glare that would have frightened the knickers off of me. “Apologise.”

The twins did almost immediately, but Dominic had a grin on his face that told me he wasn’t all that sorry.

“It’s a shame you said what you did,” I said with a shake of my head. “I thought you were cute, too.”

I yelped when hands squeezed my behind. “I’m still here,” Ryder said, amused.

It was then I realised that I was still sitting on his body, and a flush attacked my cheeks. I made a motion to get of Ryder, but he blocked all of my efforts. “I
have
to get off you,” I whispered.

He didn’t let me go. “Why?” he asked.

I looked at his brothers, then to the rest of the people dancing and walking around the club. “Because
I’m
in control now,” I murmured, “
not
me vagina.”

Ryder smirked up at me and said, “Give me your mouth and I’ll switch the roles back.”

I surprisingly laughed.

I heard a growl from our left. “Five minutes, Ryder.”

Ryder nodded to Kane who spoke and said, “I’ll only need one.”

Cocky fucker.

I glanced back to the brothers and saw they had moved off, when I looked back down at Ryder I smiled. “You’re all gorgeous, especially Damien. He looks like the real life version of the animated Jack Frost, and I have a
huge
crush on that character.”

Ryder licked his lower lip. “You think my baby brother, and other brothers, are hot? My ego would be shot if it wasn’t me you were sitting on.”

I giggled. “I like you best.”

He grinned. “Prove it.”

I raised an eyebrow. “I think I did that before they showed up.”

He hummed. “I think I need a reminder.”

I lowered my head to his. “A reminder, huh?”

“Just a little one,” he murmured.

I pressed my lips against his and intended to grind against him once more, but shock tore through at the same time molten pleasure did. Ryder removed his right hand from my behind and instead of bringing it to my hair like he did before; he slid it up the front of my bare thigh. He pushed my dress up to my hips along the way then snaked his finger under my knickers and glided his fingertips up my wet slit until they came into contact with my throbbing clit.

“So wet, Branna,” he rumbled against my mouth. “Damn, baby, you’re
so
ready.”

He swirled his fingers over my hardening bud before he pulled his hand away and brought his fingers up to his lips where he sucked them into his mouth, and fluttered his eyes shut as he tasted me. The wave of need that slammed into me in that moment was greater than anything I had ever experienced.

“You’re
definitely
my favourite kind of sweetness,” he smirked at me when he pulled his fingers from his mouth.

“Ryder,” I rasped, the pulse between my legs now unbearable.

He flicked his mysterious eyes to mine, and I think he
saw
what I was thinking, what I needed, because he set his jaw. “Say it,” he growled. “Say the words and it’s done.”

Oh, God.

“Fuck me.” I begged.

Things quickly became a blur of activity. One-second I was on top of Ryder and the next he had a death grip on my hand as I was pulled behind him pulling my dress back down my thighs. He weaved around body after body and hauled us up the stairs and out of the club.

“Branna?” I heard Aideen’s voice laugh.

“Aideen?” I called out, looking around for her while trying to keep up with Ryder.

“Have fun, babe!” She whooped from behind me earning chuckles from who I think was Skull. “Take care of her, Ryder!”

“I intend to!” Ryder shouted earning more male chuckles.

We came to a stop next to a large Jeep. Ryder dug out keys from his pocket, pressed a button that unlocked the doors then threw them behind me and said, “You drive.”

I didn’t get to see who he was talking to because he hustled me into the backseat, pulling me onto his lap and pressing his mouth against mine in a frenzy.

“Oh, Jesus,” I heard Dominic grumble. “I’ll give you one-hundred Euros if you swap seats with me?”

“Not on your life, kid,” Kane’s deep voice replied.

I heard Dominic curse under his breath as he climbed into the car and settled next to Ryder and me. Kane slid in next to him and slammed the back door shut while two doors up front closed. I didn’t want to have my legs draped over the kid so I turned and straddled Ryder. It certainly wasn’t the safest seat in the car, but it was definitely the hottest.

“Don’t fuck around, Alec,” Dominic warned. “He’s about to tear her clothes off back here. Put your foot down.”

I was mortified so I pulled back from kissing Ryder, breathing heavily.

“Your brothers can see and hear us,” I said, trying to get him to see reason.

He growled and tried to kiss me once more but I shook my head and said, “I’ll let you do
anything
you want to me in private but I’m not puttin’ on some live sex show in the back seat of a car for your little brothers, I don’t care how hot you are. I won’t do it.”

“I like her,” Damien’s voice chuckled.

Ryder pressed his face against my shoulder and growled, “Alec. Drive faster.
Please
.”

I didn’t move my eyes away from him as he leaned back with his eyes closed and began to count out loud making me feel a little giddy inside. He was trying to calm himself down, and the vixen within me didn’t want that to happen just yet so I leaned into him, and brought my mouth to his ear. I closed my eyes before I spoke, and sucked up every ounce of and act out the naughty dreams I’ve had all my adult life.

“I can’t wait to fuck you with me mouth,” I whispered in his ear, making sure only he could hear me. “I can almost taste you on me tongue.”

“Oh, Christ,” Ryder breathed.

“I want your hands all over me,” I murmured. “I want your cock or tongue inside me as I scream your name.”

“Branna,” he growled in warning. “I’m
this
close to traumatising my brothers so please shut that hot little mouth of yours. They don’t want to see my dick any more than I want to pull it out in front of them, but if you keep talking like that, we’ll all be in for a big fucking shock.”

This prompted three of Ryder’s brother to say in unison, “Alec, drive fucking faster!” making me laugh out loud.

“You think you’re funny?” Ryder growled and dug his fingers into the flesh of my behind. “You think you’ll be laughing when I have you all alone?”

That shut me up, and I felt a flush crawl up my neck and spread out over my cheeks.

“Seeing you blush hurts
more
than hearing you say you want me to tongue fuck you,” Ryder groaned.

“Damn,” Dominic whispered. “I should have found a chick to bring home if I knew I’d have to listen to live porn.”

“You and me both,” Kane growled.

“I have phone numbers,” Alec rasped from up front. “I’ll call a few women who I know will come by just for sex. They’re all hot, and have
very
willing friends.”

That instantly sobered me up and my face burned when I realised that I had lumped myself into the same category as those women who Alec would be calling when he got home. I was easy.

“Maybe this is a bad idea,” I murmured.

Ryder’s hold on me tightened. “This is a great idea. The fucking
best
idea.”

I smiled, lightly. “Your brother just made me realise I’m acting like a... like a... slut.”

Alec winced up front. “I didn’t mean
you
Branna.”

“But I’m going to have sex with Ryder and I’ve only known him half an hour. I’m no better than the girls who you’re goin’ to ring up for sex.”

“First of all,” Kane chimed in, his voice very gruff. “There is
nothing
wrong with no strings attached sex whether you’re a man or a woman. If you want to fuck everyone in sight that is
your
business, no one else’s. Second of all, it’s quite obvious you don’t do this often so you don’t need to feel ashamed or embarrassed. Sex is a part of life, deal with it.”

I stared at Kane, unblinking, but shifted my gaze to Dominic when he snapped his fingers in Z formation and said, “You sure told her, Oprah.”

Kane thumped Dominic’s shoulder making him snicker as he rubbed the spot with his hand. I looked to Ryder who lifted his hand and rubbed his thumb over my lip. I held onto him as Alec took a few sharp turns.

“We can just talk,” Ryder murmured even though it looked like it pained him to say it. “If you don’t want to do anything else, we won’t.”

He became instantly hotter in that moment.

“We’ll see,” I whispered making him grin.

I yelped when the car came to a sudden halt.

“Welcome to
casa
Slater!” Alec announced, proudly.

Nerves settled in as I climbed out off of Ryder’s lap and out of the Jeep. I stood on trembling legs and gasped when an arm came around my waist and tugged me back into a hard, warm body. I glanced over my shoulder to Ryder when he nudged me forward, and I smiled up at him. His breath caught and he mumbled something to himself.

“What was that?” I asked as we walked in the garden of a huge, four story house.

“I said,” he murmured, “you’re so beautiful.”

I chuckled. “You’re
definitely
the sweet talker out of the pair of us.”

He grinned as I glanced at my surroundings before walking through the front door Alec opened and entered the beautiful house.

“You live in Upton,” I commented.

“Yes,” Ryder said. “Where do you live?”

“On Old Isle Green, it’s just ten minutes from here.”

Dominic halted next to me then. “Old Isle Green did you say?”

I nodded.

He blinked. “What’s your sister’s name, can I ask?”

I wondered why he asked, but I didn’t get a chance to reply because I was suddenly turned, picked up and thrown over a large shoulder.

“Omigod!” I breathed and gripped onto Ryder’s shirt as I hung upside down. He headed for the stairs and ran up them two at a time, with me bouncing and grunting against his back along the way.

“Have fun!” Alec shouted followed by Damien’s yelling, “Don’t break her!”

The last thing I heard was from Dominic as he stated, “I want to be like Ryder when I grow up.”

Ryder heard him, too, and it caused him to rumble with laughter.

“Thank God,” I breathed when I was placed upright on the ground.

I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply and stayed that way for a few moments until the dizziness I was experiencing passed. Ryder’s hands were on my shoulders, gripping me tightly reminding me of his presence. “Sorry,” he chuckled when I opened my eyes and looked up at him. “They would have started a conversation with you and I didn’t want that.”

I grinned. “I could tell.”

He reached behind me and flicked on the light to his room. He stepped past me and it gave me view to his humble abode. I stared around with wide eyes. The room was huge, and brilliantly decorated. A massive king-sized bed was in the middle of the room, the furniture was all dark oak, and the theme was black and white. It looked incredible.

“Wow,” I breathed. “This looks like it belongs on an episode of cribs.”
