CHAPTER SIX

RYDER CLOSED HIS eyes as Poppy’s lips parted under his. He’d imagined having a second chance many times—was tonight it?

Her lips were soft, her mouth warm and moist. She felt good in his arms and she tasted even better.

He didn’t stop to think about the wisdom of what they were doing. He didn’t want to stop. Not unless she asked him to. He’d been waiting years for this moment and he’d given up thinking it would ever eventuate.

She’d had a traumatic twenty-four hours and he didn’t want to take advantage of her but he did want to take her. To claim her. To have her. And if she didn’t object he would have her right here, right now, on the cool tiles of the living-room floor.

He didn’t want to let her go but they needed privacy as her sisters could walk in at any moment. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as she clung to him. Her arms went around his neck as he carried her to the bedroom.

Craig was an idiot, he thought as he took one, two, three steps across the room to reach the bed. Did Craig have any idea what he was throwing away?

But Ryder was grateful. Craig’s actions had given Poppy back to him and he wasn’t going to walk away again.

He stopped at the bed and Poppy slid her legs from around his waist and stood in front of him. He could see her pulse beating at the base of her throat, her lips were parted, her mouth pink and soft, her eyes gleaming.

Her fingers left his shoulders and held the hem of her T-shirt. She tugged it over her head, revealing creamy flesh and full, rounded breasts.

Ryder swallowed. There was only so much temptation he could stand. He forgot about everything that had happened over the past day, the past week, that past twelve years. He only had one thought. Get her into bed before she comes to her senses.

He brought his eyes back to her face. She pinned him with her gaze but as she dropped her T-shirt on the floor and her hands moved lower, and he couldn’t help himself. His eyes followed the path of her movements.

Her fingers undid the button on her shorts and she pushed them to the floor and stepped out of them. She stood before him wearing nothing but a bra and a pair of very skimpy briefs.

Ryder was mesmerised. His eyes travelled upwards, up the length of her bare legs, long and tanned, to her slim hips, to the tiny triangle of fabric at the junction of her thighs that was barely preserving her modesty.

He couldn’t speak. A severe lack of blood to his brain had robbed him of the power of speech. But he could admire. So he did.

She was gorgeous.

His gaze travelled higher, over her flat stomach and her round belly button to her full breasts that seemed to strain against the lace of her bra.

She was perfect.
