Shattered (Furies Book 2)

by Harley McRide

  “Right the fuck now,” Ridge said firmly and then leaned forward and said, “I get I fucked up by not saying something that morning, but blame it on being a guy or whatever. I saw the error of my ways and instead of busting my balls, I would prefer we do something more pleasurable to celebrate the fact you are moving to San Diego.”

  She glared at him and then rolled her eyes. “You know, one of the problems with you guys, it’s that you are so arrogant, that it is actually a little adorable how clueless about females you are.”

  Ridge chuckled. “Not clueless, baby, more like bullshit free zone. Listen, I’m not a teenager who is gonna follow you around and ask for permission to date you. Not who I am, we both know something was there last time we were together, and if we are honest, it was there from the beginning. So, jumping thoroughly in and all of that shit, is good.”

  Kasey smiled and shook her head. “Not sure we are on the same…”

  “We are on the same page, and that page is that we are moving forward. Wasted a lot of time thinking about every reason why I should not get involved with anyone, rather than realizing that what I did want was right in front of my face,” Ridge said and Kasey leaned back stunned.

  “I don’t know,” she finally said, looking at him square in the face.

  Ridge nodded and said, “Think on it. Relax, you need to heal, we can talk later.”

  Kasey looked at him and then nodded, she had only been up for a little while and she was already tired. So taking his advice she stood up while he began to clear the table, and walked into the living room and sat down on the long couch, laying back and snagging the remote and then aimlessly flipping through the stations, at least they had satellite, she thought when she finally found shows in English.

  Bo rested on her chest while she stared at the television spacing out and then she felt her eyes become heavy and close as she slipped into a nap. Ridge came in and checked on her a couple of times. When Torch called to say he was staying patrolling the parameter for the night, the people in town seemed a little jumpy. There was an out building he discovered that was heated, and had the perfect vantage point of the house, and the large area where they would land the helicopter. He was going to use this time to convince Kasey, with a grin he set the alarm and then went to the kitchen to get dinner ready.

  Chapter Ten

  She felt something on her cheek and she opened her eyes. Ridge was sitting next to her, smiling as he gently caressed her face. “You hungry?” he asked and she frowned and then looked at the clock on the wall. She had slept the whole day away.

  “Well shit,” she said and sat up. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

  Ridge laughed and said, “I tried, you mumbled and rolled away from me. So I took Bo and we had a little bonding time.”

  Kasey laughed and said, “Bonding?”

  “Well, you could call it that I guess, I gave him some lunch and then took him outside and wandered around for a bit, checking things out. Torch called, he is staying in a shelter on the other side of the property, apparently some of the townspeople were skittish and he wanted to make sure if they called and reported Americans on the property, he would see them coming. He had a view of the whole property. Tomorrow, Loki should have the helicopter and bring it in and get us, we are going to do it at night.”

  She nodded and then said, “Well, I guess it was a good thing I slept, I may not be able to sleep tonight, but I feel a ton better right now.”

  Ridge smiled and said, “Good. Come on, dinner is done, and then I found where there were some movies stashed, at least if we are stuck here, we can be entertained.”

  She stood up and stretched and said, “So where is Bo now?”

  He grinned and said, “The owner has a cat, he had one of those towers they play on, I found it in the closet. So I grabbed it and brought it down, he is playing on it.”

  Kasey smiled and shook her head. “Well, I guess that is a good thing. I was worried about what kind of things I needed to get for him when we got home. I don’t really know much about monkeys so I’m calling a vet when I get home.”

  They went into the dining room, where not only did Ridge have the cat tower in the corner, but he had the food already laid out, and there was a bottle of wine there as well. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “What is this?”

  “Wine.” She laughed.

  He nodded and then poured her a glass and sat down. “Just setting a mood.”

  “The mood?” Kasey said and picked up her fork and stabbed a piece of chicken. Ridge kept the conversation light as they ate, and when they were done, he left the dishes, grabbed the cat tower and Bo, and led her back into the master bedroom and set about putting a movie in while she petted Bo and waited. When she heard the beginning she turned and laughed loudly.

  “Really? This is what you are going with?”

  “It is a classic,” Ridge said and she nodded.

  “Yeah, Mark Wahlberg in Shooter is a classic.”

  They settled on the bed, and she rolled her eyes when he pulled her over to him and rested her head on his shoulder. “Obvious much?”

  “No reason to hide it,” he said.

  They watched the beginning of the movie but it was in the middle when she ran her hand up his chest absently as she watched. Really, she didn’t realize she was doing it.

  “Kasey,” Ridge said and she felt his chest rumble when he spoke. She almost giggled but the serious tone in his voice stopped her.

  “What?” she whispered and waited.

  “You need to stop unless you want me to show you what you are doing to me,” he said softly.

  She looked at him trying to decide if he was that much of a dumbass or truly clueless on women. She felt her heart melt when she saw the passion and honesty in his eyes. “I was trying to get you to show me.”

  He frowned and said, “What the hell do you take me for? You are still black and blue, I wanted to make a statement about what I want from you, shit, it’s good to know that you think I’m such an ass. I mean, I’m an ass, but not that big of an ass. This is just the beginning, we have time, I was being a gentleman, you know I can totally do that if I try real hard. We are going to be together, as in exclusive, as in I will cut the cock off any man who dares to touch you other than me. I’m possessive about my woman. I was thinking that this is the beginning of our future. Dang, I brought a monkey in here, it would be weird to have him in here when we fucked.”

  She laughed and said, “Why, do you think he will be offended?”

  “Maybe, but I was doing those things to get you to understand that this is not just a fling. I mean, dinner, and a movie, it is not all about sex. I know these things about you because I’ve paid attention, for years. I was just too stupid to act on it. I thought you needed a chance to see what you were going to be; what life was all about before I claimed your ass,” Ridge said softly and traced a finger across the top of her shirt, brushing the top of her breast softly. She could feel her nipples tighten and she closed her eyes for a moment. “But if you are feeling better, and aren’t going to think I’m a complete fucker, I can totally be down with that.”

  When she opened them, she saw the hungry look that he was giving her and she grinned. “Okay, well let me be clear. Bo is not gonna watch ‘cause he is too busy rolling on the tower, and I was just thinking I would like nothing more than for you to have wild dirty sex with me. That way when we get home, I can tell Tank how you took care of my every need.”

  She couldn’t help it, she giggled like a girl and then leaned forward and kissed the horrified look off his face.

  “First off, you aren’t telling your brother anything, and for your information, he already knows we slept together, and second, I’m still putting Bo in the bathroom for a while, it seems a little creepy,” he whispered.

  She laughed while he stood and did just what he said and then came back to her and stood next to the bed and smiled down at her.

  She watched him walk and all she co
uld think of was, ‘mine’. He was sexy; his chest was defined muscularly and tapered down to a thin waist with the perfect six pack. She looked up and smiled when he pulled the shirt off completely. He slowly toed off his boots and then started to pull off his pants. She held her breath. She knew he was large, but apparently she had forgotten. He was huge, shit, bigger than her toys and she had used those toys several times before coming to Nepal.

  He chuckled and said, “Baby, you don’t know what you do to me.”

  She finally dragged her eyes up, looked at him in the eyes, and smiled. “Come here,” she whispered and held out her hand to him.

  Ridge crawled over the bed to her and lay on his side next to her. He leaned over and kissed her gently. She allowed him to deepen the kiss and groaned when she felt him running his hand up her leg, pulling the lacy gown with him. The feel of his rough hands on her thigh made her pussy wet.

  Kasey couldn’t stop from touching him. She put her hands on his chest and felt the muscles and hardness of his body. She traced his nipples with her fingers, teasing them and finding it fascinating that they grew hard under her touch. She grazed his side, exploring every single inch of his body, yeah, they were made for each other.

  He broke the kiss and looked down at her with passion in his eyes. “You are damn close to perfect,” he said and pushed her shirt up, finally whipping it over his head and throwing it on the floor. He gazed at her firm, round breasts and smiled. He watched as she pushed down her pants, leaving the panties that he had brought her in the bag, they were nothing special, but he looked at her like she was wearing the finest lace for him.

  “I take that back. You are perfect for me,” he said and palmed her breast, loving how it fit into his hand perfectly. He rolled his palm over a nipple making it pucker and strain to him. Smiling at the invitation, he bent and took it in his mouth.

  Kasey groaned and ran her hand up his back until she got to the back of his head and held him in place. Knowing that this where she wanted him. She felt a tingle of awareness as he drew her nipple into his mouth, sucking on it and rolling the nipple with his lips and tongue.

  She felt his hand run down her body and cup her mound through her panties. He had to have felt the wetness that had already gathered. She arched her back and pushed her breasts further into him. Kasey felt wanton and self-confident in a way she had never felt before, it was him, he did this to her.

  Ridge wanted her. He looked at her the way she had always wanted, and the power she felt she had over him was heady. She wanted to tease him and tantalize him until he demanded to be in her.

  Kasey ran her hand down his back and grasped his ass, cupping it and kneading it. He ground his erection into her thigh and she smiled. Ridge teased her back a little by running his finger over her covered slit, pushing gently when over her clit. She could feel the cotton rub against her sensitive nub and she didn’t want anything between them.

  He released her nipple with a little pop and then kissed his way back up her neck and took her mouth. She felt branded by the kiss, he was staking his claim. That was the only way she could explain the kiss. He pressed her back into the pillow and wound her arms around his neck, giving back as much as he was taking.

  Who knew a kiss like this would make her so excited? He was possessive and his hand touched her everywhere, making it feel like he was leaving his mark on her with each touch. He pulled back and moaned, “Mine.”

  And she smiled. “Yes, yours.”

  He seemed to lose a little control, reached down, and pulled at her panties until they ripped from her body. The aggressive gesture turned her on. As if he couldn’t wait for her to remove them by herself.

  His finger ran down her now bare slit and she sighed. Ridge pressed against her clit and she whispered, “More.”

  “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we have all night,” Ridge said and bent his head again, this time working over her other breast. She shifted so she could get a hand between them. Without hesitation, she grasped his hard shaft and ran her hand up and down it. She could feel the wetness from the small pre-cum release. She used it to slick her hand a little, rubbed it in her palm, and then pumped him again.

  His response was a growl against her breast and then his fingers dipped into her weeping pussy. She was so wet he slid right in. It was amazing to feel the fullness of his fingers inside her. He pumped them in time with her hand and she clenched on his fingers wanting him to be inside her.

  He released her breast again and then slid down her body. She needed him now, she didn’t want to play. “Relax; I just want to make you feel good,” he whispered and kissed her inner thigh. She squirmed a little and then settled down while he spread her legs far enough for him to lie between them. She could feel his breath against her wet pussy and she moaned. With the first swipe of his tongue, she bucked a little. He held her waist still and then kissed the top of her mound.

  Using his free hand, he parted her pussy lips and focused right on her clit. He sucked it into his mouth and flicked it with his tongue. Then bit down gently and she yelled out, feeling the tingling sensation run through her straight to her womb.

  He pumped a finger in and out of her while he continued to flick her clit with his tongue and she came hard. Shit he was trying to kill her, she sucked in a breath and just let herself go, and she felt everything fall into place, she was trusting him with not only her body, but her heart, and she knew he wouldn’t abuse that gift.

  Ridge kissed his way back up her body, smiled down at her, and then settled between her legs. She could feel his cock pushing against her and she wiggled until it was sitting right at her gate.

  She leaned up and kissed him, pulling his head down and opening her mouth. She could taste herself faintly and the thought of what he’d just done increased her arousal. Ridge held her hips and slowly entered her. Thank God, she thought, there was only so much she could take right now.

  She sighed when he was fully seated in her. He filled her up and she ground her hips against his. He finally began to move and she matched his pace. He felt wonderful inside her; finally, she felt the connection with him that she had hoped for. They were lovers and friends; she couldn’t ask for more.

  Ridge moved slowly at first, to allow her to become used to him. When he felt her pushing against him a little faster, he knew she was ready. He braced his hands on the bed and moved a little so with each pass his cock brushed against her now engorged clit. She panted and made sexy noises so he knew that he had been successful.

  He moved faster, with Kasey keeping up with him stroke for stroke and she yelled when she felt her orgasm building again. Ridge pushed harder and made sure that he could feel her slick pussy clamping down on him and he fell over the edge with her. Yelling her name as he came.

  He collapsed against her and was panting like he had run six miles in boot camp. They were both slick with sweat and he felt Kasey shiver when reality and cool air finally registered with her. He got up and went to the bathroom, cleaning himself off and then bringing a warm washcloth for Kasey.

  Ridge sat on the edge of the bed and cleaned her gently, whispering the whole time how precious she was, and how much she meant to him. But he stopped short of using the word ‘love’ and she grinned. She knew she was going to have to say it first. Ridge was a weenie when it came to emotions.

  She allowed him to put her under the covers as he tossed the wet cloth on the floor and then pulled the blankets back for him to slide in next to her. She sighed when he gathered her in his arms and snuggled in with her.

  “There is no going back?” she asked quietly.

  “Hell no there is not, you are mine,” he said, “Go to sleep.”

  “Ridge?” she whispered.

  “Yeah, baby,” he rumbled tiredly.

  “Is it too soon to say I love you,” she asked and heard his heart rate increase under her ear.

  “Nah, baby, I love you, too, when it is right it is right,” he said and kissed the top of her head. She snuggle
d in deeper and let the relaxing afterglow of their love making take her under.

  Chapter Eleven

  They had made love twice more that night, and when she woke, she didn’t even feel a twinge of soreness in her ribs or anywhere else. The power of loving, she thought and smiled to herself. This gruff biker was a big softie, although she would never say it out loud to him.

  “Morning,” he said and she sighed and rolled to him and kissed his shoulder.

  “Hey, honey.”

  “You sleep good?” he asked and she laughed.

  “Well, what sleep I got, was good.” Ridge moved and tightened his hand that had remained on her breast the whole night. She just grinned and said, “I’m hungry.”

  He chuckled and raised his head. “I think you may be getting spoiled here, I mean, yeah I cooked for you yesterday, but it is your turn.”

  “Ah, the honeymoon is over, now I know the real story, you were sweet to get me into your bed and then the guy chromosome came out,” she teased and he grinned.

  “Yep.”

  She rolled out of bed and then bent down and grabbed his shirt and pulled it on and said, “Alright, you get the shower first, I will make breakfast and then I will get one after.”

  Ridge sighed and said, “How about we make breakfast together and then shower together.”

  “Sounds like a plan,” she said and watched as he pulled on his pants, damn, it was a shame to cover that ass, she thought and sighed. Ridge went to the bathroom and picked up Bo who was apparently still playing on the cat tower. As they walked into the living room Ridge looked outside and then went to the door to check the security system. Everything must have been fine because he turned back and walked toward the kitchen. Setting Bo on the table to wait, he got him some fruit and put it in a bowl in front of him.

  Together they got breakfast ready and was in the process of finishing when the first alarm went off. Kasey and Ridge both stood up and moved. Her to Bo, and him to the panel and the Sat phone.
