Brothers Black 6: Ryan the Joker (Brothers Black Series)

by Blue Saffire

  “You should clean your plate, babe. Never waste a single drop,” I tease.

  I’ve been feeling bold these last few weeks. After that night Ry found me in the bathroom something changed. We’ve become closer. I haven’t allowed my father’s calls to get to me.

  I’ve found a new confidence that I like. I’ve also had time to explore my sexuality. I mean, really explore it. There’s so much more I want to try after the baby is born.

  Ryan nips my butt cheek. “Oh, I plan to clean my plate, baby. Are you ready?”

  “I’m always ready,” I say, knowing I’m never ready for the way he puts it down.

  This man never disappoints. He gives me something to gasp for every time I give myself to him. It’s never just sex.

  It’s like Ryan is determined to show me what pleasure is meant to be. Not his pleasure, although I can always see the ecstasy he gains from our intimacy. No, Ryan educates me on my own pleasure.

  He’s a master at showing me the ultimate experience of my own body and all the ways it can serve me. It’s not about him pounding his way to his release. Ryan will drag our lovemaking out for hours so he can take me from level to level of joy and bliss.

  “We’ll see about that,” he says with a hint of darkness to his words.

  His breath fans my skin as he speaks. I don’t open my eyes as my smile widens. He kneads my cheeks before spreading them.

  I wait with bated breath for him to flick his tongue out for a taste. When his warm mouth connects with my core, I moan and suck my lip into my mouth. It’s as if I heat up from within.

  He’s slow and deliberate about sucking on my folds one by one, working his way back and forth. He knows I’m going to run so he palms my cheeks and holds me still before I can start to wiggle way. Then he goes in and I mean in.

  I moan and grab at the blanket beneath me. Trying to scoot away, I lift my hips and wiggle. Ryan only takes that as an offering. He scoops his arms under my legs from in between my thighs and lifts me in the air. I’m in the position to start a crab walk, which I try, but Ry pulls me back and holds me to his face.

  “Ry,” I cry out.

  He laps at me until my arms and legs start to shake. However, he’s not rushing me to a finish. No, he takes his time, but it doesn’t matter. My body rushes toward my first orgasm spiraling to bliss so fast my head is spinning.

  Ryan goes in for another, but my annoying phone rings. The roaming charges on this bill are going to be crazy. I’m here and my father says he was still in Japan. Thank goodness I don’t pay the bill.

  “Ignore it,” Ryan groans.

  “You know I can’t.” I sigh and answer the call.

  “Hello, Daddy.”

  “Kon'nichiwa, Nene. Your aunt says you’ve been enjoying your vacation. Have you two been having a good time?”

  “It’s been fun.” It’s not a lie. I am having fun with Ryan. The fact that Aunt Mariah isn’t here isn’t something my father needs to know. She had an actual trip to make with Uncle Kevin, Nick, and the baby. Things have worked out perfectly.

  “I’m glad you are enjoying yourself. Kiss the baby for me.”

  I frown. I don’t want to add to the lies so I try to change the subject. “Will you be returning home soon?”

  “Yes, I believe I will. I’ll be there when you return.”

  Ryan starts slow, licking kisses from the back of my knee up my thigh. He’s totally distracting me, but then something happens. Ryan brings me so much confidence when it comes to sex.

  I can’t help but wonder what would happen if I borrowed some of that confidence for something I’ve been thinking about. I take a deep breath and go for the leap.

  “Daddy, I was thinking.” I have been thinking a lot. I’ll be four months pregnant when school starts. I don’t know if I’ll even finish the semester with the baby on the way. “I’ve been wanting to take a break from school. Maybe a semester or two.”

  “You already skipped the summer semester. You’re almost finished early. Why the change?”

  “I’m not sure I’m doing what I truly want.”

  He makes a sound on the other end. I hold my breath because this is usually the point when he shuts me down. However, his next words blow me away and place me on edge all at once.

  “You have a plan, I will listen. But you better be ready to tell me the whole truth with all the details, Nene. I will not have you wasting all of your hard work.”

  I turn over on my side and look at Ryan with wide eyes. I chew on my lip. For a moment, I wonder if he knows I’m not with my aunt and that I’ve been lying about school all this time. I shake that thought off.

  We’ve been so careful and I’ve passed all my classes with A’s. He can’t be upset with me for something I’ve done well. Can he?

  “Yes, I have a plan. I’ll tell you everything when I get home.”

  There is a pause for a moment. I look at Ryan and he smiles proudly back at me. It’s slowly setting in that I’ve spoken up for myself.

  “Nene, you are one of my greatest treasures. I’ve shown you love the way my parents showed me. Sometimes, there are times I believe I should have followed your mother’s lead. However, I want you to know that I love you and want only the best for you. I will see you when you return,” he says.

  “I love you too, Daddy. I’ll see you when I get home.”

  I hang up with a mix of emotions. I feel guilty, but at the same time, I’m elated that my father listened to my wants and will continue to listen when I get home. I lock eyes with Ryan and launch into his arms.

  “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” I squeal.

  “For what?” He chuckles as he gives me a little squeeze.

  “He’s listening to me. I had the courage to say something. You helped me with that. You listen to me and make me want to speak up for myself,” I say. It sinks in that my father’s going to hear me out and I squeeze Ryan tighter. “I love you.”

  The words are out before I can stop them. Ryan pulls away and those golden eyes connect with mine. This time when I see it, I know it for what it is. That look. The one I’ve seen his brothers give to the women they love. Joe even gives Cassy that same look.

  It’s the look I never thought I’d see from anyone, but especially not Ryan. It’s so intense and all-consuming. It’s not lust or desire. It’s something way deeper than that. It’s a look that says love isn’t a strong enough word to place the feelings within.

  As if to prove that point he blows my mind with his words. “Anata o hontōni aishiteimasu,” he says in Japanese. Then he says something in a language I believe to be Gaelic. “Fad mo bheatha bidh gaol agam ort, agus an uairsin a h-uile latha a chaitheas mi san uaigh.”

  I smile. “You said you love me so much in Japanese, but what did that last part mean?”

  “All my life I will love you, and then every day that I spend in my grave.”

  “Wow,” I say and start to tear up. I’m not sure if it’s my hormones or his words but I start balling like a baby.

  Ryan laughs. “Baby, I’m not sure this is the right reaction. At least it’s not the one I expected.”

  “I’m sorry.” I wipe at my nose. “This is all happening so fast. The baby, falling in love with you. Now my dad is willing to hear me out. I’m a mess.”

  He cups my chin and pulls me closer to him. “You’re adorable and having my baby. I’m so proud of you, Carmen. I know how hard that was for you. Come here and let me give you a reward.”

  Ryan

  She says that she can’t see the pregnancy when she looks in the mirror, but I can. It’s in her face and in the feel of her tight walls. Even her pussy tastes of my child growing inside her.

  Now, as I devour her lips I can’t stop thinking of the fact that she’s pregnant and I’m in love with her. I love this woman more than I ever thought I could. Watching her finally speak up for herself has been such a turn-on, I have to finish what I started.

  “Love you, baby,” I say against her lips. �
�Now turn around for me.”

  With a smile, she turns back into her stomach. I groan as her ass jiggles with the movement. Damn, I’m about to tear that shit up. I want to hear her say she loves me again while I’m inside of her.

  I pull the strings to the top of her bikini, allowing it to fall to the blanket. I discarded the bottom a long time ago when I first wanted to devour her ass and the fruit I placed on her. I lick my lips and taste the pineapples and strawberries on them.

  “Are you just going to look at me?”

  I slap her ass and watch it wiggle. “Watch that mouth. I’m taking my time. No more interruptions and I’m not going to be rushed.”

  “So bossy. You’re lucky I love you.”

  I can’t help the smile that comes to my face. I feel like a little boy with a crush, and this is her first time telling me she likes me too. Damn, Carmen has me so fucked up. I’d make the world spin in reverse for her.

  “I love you more,” I say as I straddle her thick thighs.

  I grab my hard cock and stroke it. My shorts have been lying with her bikini bottom. I had plans to slip inside of her right before her phone rang.

  With my other hand, I test her folds to find her still wet for me. Slipping two fingers inside, I torture us both a little. Carmen lifts her ass up in offering. I bite my lip and remove my hand to grasp her ass cheek as I guide my way in.

  “Baby,” I breathe as I slide in to the hilt. She’s tight and this position has my balls tingling already. I still and grind my teeth. She whimpers beneath me, wiggling. I release a short laugh. “So impatient.”

  Reaching beneath her, I find her clit and start to move in and out as I stroke it. I know this body like the back of my hand. I’m going to build her slow and take her to new heights.

  I kiss my way across her shoulders. She smells like a mixture of her sweet scent and my cologne. I can’t help sticking my tongue out for a taste. I lick from one shoulder blade to the other. Her moans increase as I stroke my cock deeper and then let up a bit.

  Placing a palm on her hip, I dig my fingers in. I love the way she fit my palms, no matter where I touch her. I lift her up until we’re both on our knees. I shift my body until my legs are on the inside of hers and I’m sitting on my heels.

  “You like that?” I say huskily as she starts to cry out and shiver.

  “Yes. More please.”

  I place my palm on her ass and guide her up and down on my shaft as I squeeze it. I nearly lose it when she starts to scream more than cry out, but I reel it in and continue to guide her slowly. I only lift slightly to get the right angle as I continue to drop her back down on my waiting cock.

  I slap the cheek I was palming with the other hand. The way her ass jiggles around me as her pussy takes me in is a sight that I’ll never get tired of. I slap her ass again just for a repeat.

  “Yes, Ry. Yes. I love you so much,” she cries out and my heart nearly explodes.

  I reach for her hair and tug her head back. When I connect with her brown eyes, I tell her all the things I feel inside without using a single word. Tears spill down her cheeks, revealing she understands.

  I cover her lips with mine and show her the same thing my eyes have told her. This is like a first kiss. It packs that power and smack that makes your heart stop. Her salty tears are only a reminder that she’s emotional because of our baby.

  I wrap my arms around her and place my hands on her belly as I thrust up into her from beneath. I latch onto her neck and slide one hand back down to her clit. I close my eyes as I feel her clench around me. I come at the same time, releasing her neck to bare my teeth and growl.

  “I was made to love you,” I whisper against her skin.

  “I don’t want this to end.”

  “Oh, trust me, I’m not done.”

  Unexpected Guests

  Ryan

  My legs are burning from the last two hours I spent inside Carmen, but I can’t stop smiling. I have an arm around her waist and the blanket we used tossed over my arm as I carry the little cooler that held the fruit and a little something I couldn’t leave behind. Carmen leans into me with her head resting against me.

  “I’m hungry now,” she says and gives a little yawn.

  I lean down to kiss the top of her head. “How does steak and potatoes sound? I’ve had the steaks marinating since this morning.”

  She moans. “That sounds so good. Oh, do we have any more of those green beans? They were so good.”

  “Yeah,” I say to her absently as we get nearer to the house. Something’s off. “Why don’t you dip your feet in the pool while I get dinner started?”

  “Ugh, I was more thinking of taking a nap,” she yawns again.

  I bite back a curse and go to reach for the gun hidden underneath the bottom of the cooler. I place my body in front of hers as I scan the house through the glass panels. That’s when Roni pops up and pulls the door open.

  I purse my lips and stop reaching for my gun. Instead, my brows wrinkle in confusion. I wasn’t told that anyone would be dropping in.

  “Eww, you two are nasty,” Roni says with teasing in her voice.

  Carmen peeks around me and gasps. “Please tell me you didn’t see us out on the beach.”

  Roni snorts. “I saw enough. John wouldn’t let me watch though,” she says with a smile. “Two hours and twenty minutes. I timed it. You two are little freaks.”

  “I know you and my brother have something going on. So there’s no way I’m going to be embarrassed because either one of you saw me in action. I’m sure we were PG compared to you.”

  “Are you kidding?” Roni tosses back. “That one move with her legs in the air before you ate her out for the tenth time—”

  “Wait, I thought you weren’t watching,” Carmen says incredulously.

  “I said he wouldn’t let me watch. Doesn’t mean I didn’t peek a few times.” Roni lets her gaze roll over me. “I see that shit runs in the family.”

  “What?” I lift a brow.

  “Nothing.” She bites her lip and laughs as she walks away.

  Carmen and I step into the house. I look around for John. He’s sitting on the couch with his head thrown back.

  “Thank God, you two finally gave it a rest,” he grumbles.

  “What crawled up your butt?”

  “You try having her in a room while your little brother is on the beach putting on a show. I swear. She defies me to get punished.”

  “Whoa, whoa. My girl’s not on that level. Keep that kinky shit in check,” I taunt. “Wait, hold on. I knew it. What’s up with you two?”

  “None of your business,” they say in unison.

  “Fine. What are you doing here?”

  Carmen kisses my arm before she takes off into the kitchen. I watch her walk off in her bikini and frown. I’m not that comfortable with her walking around like that with my brother here. As if sensing that, she heads to the bedroom.

  “Okay, spill,” I whisper-yell once she’s gone. “What the hell are you two doing here? Is something going on?”

  “Well, yes and no. Nothing is coming your way, but a ton of shit is going on back home with some of the other families. They’ve tried some of the lower seats,” John replies.

  I scoff. “That’s not smart either way you look at it. There are no lower families,” I say using air quotes.

  “You know what I mean, but I’m not here for that. Mom wanted someone to check-in in person and she sent something for Carmen. I think we’re all missing your goofy ass.”

  “Speak for yourself,” Roni says as she plops down on the couch with a jar of peanut butter in her hand. “Dude, what’s up with those steaks. I’m starving.”

  “You guys plan to stay here?”

  “Don’t worry. We won’t get in the way of all that nasty shit you’ve been up to.” Roni snickers.

  “Are you guys staying with us?” Carmen returns in shorts and a tank top.

  “Yeah, Roni needed a break. I
thought hanging with you guys would be cool.”

  I look at Roni, really look at her this time. “Everything all right? Are you okay?”

  “I’m fine.” She waves me off. “What’s up with those steaks though?”

  I grin and look back at my brother. “Oh shit! Really, John.”

  He shrugs. I get ready to light into him, but the atmosphere shifts and I lift my head just in time to see Carmen grab a knife. That’s when I see the full picture.

  “No,” I call out, but it’s too late. My eyes grow wide as Carmen grabs two more knives and takes a stance as she glares at Torque who’s collar is nailed to the wall by the first knife she threw. I cover my face and laugh into my palm while I shake my head. “This guy.”

  “I thought I told you to stay in the car,” John grumbles.

  “I needed to go to the bathroom.”

  “You guys know him?” Carmen asks as she straightens and starts to chew on her lip. “I’m so sorry.”

  “Shit like this always happens to him.” Roni shrugs as she licks peanut butter from her finger.

  I walk over to Carmen and take the knives from her hands, placing them on the counter. I kiss her forehead and pull her into my arms. I don’t miss that she’s trembling a little.

  When I think about it, we never dealt with the trauma she went through in that parking garage. We took off right after and she never had to talk about it or think about it. I totally get her reaction to Torque. She’s never seen him before.

  “This is Torque,” I say. “He belongs to John.”

  “Why do you always say it like that?” Torque mutters. “I don’t belong to anyone.”

  I snicker. I say it like that because it pisses both Roni and Torque off. I’m still trying to figure out how John ended up with two charges. I get the Roni thing a little more than Torque, but I’m minding my own business. The extra hands have been coming in handy back home.
