TWENTY-EIGHT

RYDER

Restraint wasn’t exactly my strong suit, and I had none of it then. Every ounce of it obliterated when I turned around to Dakota standing in the doorway.

Wearing black sleep shorts made of thin sweats material and a matching pajama top that kept falling off one shoulder.

Still soaked from her son’s bath.

In her expression was something I’d never dared allow myself to recognize before.

Like she was imagining what it might be like if this was our truth. If we did this every night, and I didn’t have a lifetime of garbage strewn between us.

They were obstacles that I should heed.

What should have me diverging.

Changing course.

But I didn’t think there was a goddamn thing in this world that could keep me from her right then.

“Dakota.” Her name left me like a plea, and my hand was going to the side of her face and pushing up into her hair as I backed her out of the doorway and into the dim-lit hall.

A short gasp left her, and she blinked at me. Cinnamon eyes swirled with so many things.

Confusion and need and questions I didn’t know if I had the strength to answer.

“I keep trying to stay away from you. Don’t think I know how to do it any longer. Don’t think I can.”

I spun her into the hallway wall, pinning her back to it. My nose went to the slope of her neck, breathing her in.

Sugar and vanilla. The sweetest thing.

“Cookie,” I murmured into the night.

“Who said I wanted you to stay away from me?” The challenge was back, her chin lifted.

Guilt constricted, and I let my fingertips wander the angle of her jaw. “I keep trying to do the right thing, Dakota. Keep trying to be the good guy, but I don’t want to be him right now.”

A glutton stealing more. Taking what I shouldn’t have all while knowing she should have belonged to me.

Cody’s warning kept rolling through my mind. Hitting me on a circuit. Because I knew he was right.

But I was stuck on this girl who had me on a hook.

“And who do you want to be?”

“I want to be the guy who’s pleasing you. The one who’s making you come. Over and over again. I want to make you beg my name.”

A flood of desire coated the atmosphere. Dakota released a wispy breath, and her fingers curled in my shirt, needing something to hang on to.

“Want to be the one who’s showing you how gorgeous you are,” I murmured as I wound my hand into her hair. “How beautiful you are. The way you steal my breath every time you walk into the room.”

She exhaled, shaky and long as I pulled her head to the side to expose her neck. I pressed my mouth there, to the silky, smooth skin, and I rolled my lips along the delicate slope. “Do you have any idea, Dakota? What you do to me?”

There was a tiny shake of her head. “No. Not with you.” Hesitation brimmed before she shifted to meet my eyes, this fierce girl whispering her truth into the lapping night.
