Force of Love (Forever and Always #4) (Ryan and Janice)

by Todd, E. L.

  She nodded. “But I wouldn’t mind if I had them sooner,” she said quietly.

  I kissed her on the forehead. “I can work with that. How about we practice for now?”

  She smiled. “I think we’re already pros.”

  I shook my head. “Nah. I think we need to work on it some more.”

  She laughed. “I’m so happy I found you.”

  “Me too.”

  “You don’t know how many jerks there are out there.”

  “Actually I do. All my boys are dogs.”

  “I’m glad you aren’t.”

  “No, I am. You’re the only person that I don’t act that way around.”

  “Well, I’m glad I changed you.”

  “You changed everything.”

  A knock on the door announced Cortland’s arrival. He opened the door and walked into the living room. “Ready to pick up that brat?”

  I rolled my eyes. “I’m never ready.”

  He laughed. “She’s probably going to be chatty too.”

  I groaned. “She never shuts up. She’s been calling me all weekend.”

  “Phew. I’m glad she didn’t call me.”

  “You’re lucky bastard.”

  Janice shook her head. “I don’t get you two. You act like she’s a pain in the ass but you are both so fond of her.”

  Cortland shrugged. “I never said I liked her.”

  “You had sex with her, didn’t you?” Janice asked.

  “Well, she raped me. I didn’t have a choice,” Cortland said.

  “Yeah okay,” Ryan said sarcastically. “She weighs less than a hundred pounds.”

  “Hey! She’s strong, okay?” Cortland said.

  Janice looked at me. “I can overpower, Ryan.”

  I smiled. “Baby, I let you. I like it when you think you’re raping me.”

  She eyed me. “So you let me handcuff you to the bed?”

  Cortland stepped toward the door. “Okay, this is getting awkward. Let’s hit the road. Her flight has probably already landed.”

  I turned to Janice. “I’ll see you when I get home, baby.”

  “Okay.”

  I pushed her down on the couch and climbed on top of her. She giggled as I held her down. I pressed my lips against hers and kissed her harshly, slipping my tongue into her mouth. She moaned for me.

  Cortland cleared his throat. “Maybe I should just go solo.”

  I pulled away. “I love you, baby.”

  “I love you too.”

  “I’ll see you later.” I moved off of her then marched to the door. Cortland looked relieved that we were done. We left the apartment then headed down to his car on the street. When we were inside, I buckled my safety belt then we drove to the airport.

  “You guys aren’t tired of each other already?” Cortland asked.

  “Are you tired of Monnique?”

  “Definitely not.”

  “I’m not tired of Janice. It never gets old.”

  “I see what you mean.”

  “We put a stripper pole in the bedroom.”

  “Are you serious?” he asked excitedly. “Did you convince her to do it?”

  “Oh yeah.”

  “Holy shit! How was it?”

  “Janice knows how to work a pole. She looked damn fine.”

  “Has she worked as a stripper before?”

  “No, but she took a few pole dancing classes.”

  “I should make Monnique take some classes.”

  “It was pretty hot. It was the best sex we ever had.”

  “Damn. Now I want one.”

  I shook my head. “You couldn’t handle it.”

  “What? Yes we could.”

  “Nah. It’s too much.”

  “Monnique and I do some nasty shit.”

  “You guys are too vanilla.”

  “We definitely aren’t vanilla.”

  “Whatever,” I said sarcastically.

  “I’ll prove it to you.”

  I looked at him. “Please don’t,” I said seriously. “Unless it’s just Monnique.”

  He hit me on the shoulder. “I would show you nothing of Monnique.”

  “Then I definitely don’t want to see it,” I said with a laugh.

  Cortland approached the airport and pulled into the pickup lane. I know I acted like I didn’t care for my sister, especially when she called and woke me up early in the morning, but I was excited to see her. Ever since she came back to Seattle, I felt whole and complete. Having both her and Janice made me feel like I really had a family. She was the one person I knew I could rely on for everything. There was nothing I could do that would make me lose her. Her love and commitment to me was unconditional. I liked having that support. I tried to never ask for help, but I knew I could ask her to help me if I needed it. After she selflessly helped out my business when she could have paid back her loans, I knew she and I were a team for the rest of our lives.

  Cortland got out first and embraced Scarlet. I just watched them for a moment. Sean watched them with a smile on his face. I wondered if he would still be smiling if he knew that Scarlet slept with him. I understood why Scarlet didn’t want to tell him the truth. Our little family was perfect. She didn’t want to ruin it.

  I got out of the car and approached her. Her eyes lit up like beacons when she saw me. Her smile was bigger than I had ever seen it. It made me chuckle. When she didn’t contact me for a year, I wondered if she hated me, but if she did it didn’t matter now. She proved that she still loved me. She ran into my arms and I held her for a moment.

  “I missed you so much,” she said into my chest.

  “You were gone for like two days.”

  “Shut up! You missed me too.”

  I didn’t say anything.

  “I’m so glad to be home. How’s Janice?”

  I smiled. “She’s good.”

  She pulled away and looked at me. “My weekend was so shitty. I have to tell you all about it.”

  I rolled my eyes. “Could you just tell Cortland?”

  She hit me on the shoulder. “Don’t act like you don’t care.”

  “I’m not.”

  She glared at me.

  “I’m just kidding, Scar. You know I love you.”

  “It wouldn’t hurt to say it more than once in a great while.”

  I shook my head. “That’s too often.” I turned to Sean. “I’m glad to see you survived. Are you sure you want to still marry my sister? I know she’s fucking crazy.”

  He shrugged. “I keep going back and forth.”

  Scarlet hit him on the arm. “That’s not funny.”

  I laughed as I walked back to the car. Scarlet got in the backseat with me and started blabbing the entire ride back to my apartment. Her weekend was pretty horrific and I felt bad for her. The plane incident was just hilarious. It sounded like something Janice and I would. I would have to remember that next time we traveled.

  When we got back to the apartment, Janice and Scarlet embraced then we sat on the couch. Scarlet sat next to me and continued to talk about how much she disliked Sean’s pretentious family. I looked over at Janice on the other couch—the loser couch—and gave a sad smile. I disliked not being next to her. Sean looked angry, like he was trying to bottle it inside.

  When Sean exploded and yelled at Scarlet because she was saying hurtful things about his family, I knew the evening was over. It didn’t last long. Sean chased her into the bathroom.

  I looked at Cortland. “Scarlet can be really stupid sometimes.”

  He sighed. “Yeah.”

  Janice leaned back. “I understand why she’s upset, but she needs to get a filter. Sometimes she doesn’t think before she talks.”

  “Sometimes?” I asked.

  “Okay. She never thinks before she talks,” Janice said.

  Sean and Scarlet came back into the living room, obviously still angry at each other, and Cortland rose to his feet and walked with them out of the door.

  When they were go
ne, I sighed.

  “What is it?” Janice asked.

  I shrugged. “They just argue a lot.”

  “We argue.”

  “In a playful way.”

  “Well, we are different than other people—weird.”

  “I suppose.” I rose from the couch then picked her up. “Let’s go to bed.”

  “You aren’t going to call Scarlet?”

  “I can’t fix all her problems,” I said as I carried Janice into our bedroom. I placed her on the bed then started to take off my clothes.

  She watched me with a hungry expression and fell silent, Scarlet forgotten.

  “Since you blew my mind yesterday, I want to please you, baby. How do you want to come?”

  She smiled. “You know what I want.”

  I kneeled at the bed then pulled her hips to me, removing her pants and underwear. “You got it.”

  She leaned back and sighed. Her legs shook slightly with excitement.

  As soon as I kissed her clit, she moaned. “Ryan.”

  “Just enjoy it, baby.” I kissed her gently while I rubbed her legs with my hands, making her excited and aroused at the same time. I liked to start slow with Janice. When I built her to a climax this way, she always had the best orgasms. I liked pleasing her as much as possible. If I satisfied her in every way, I wouldn’t have to worry about her ever leaving me. I never wanted her to go.

  When I inserted my tongue inside her, she gripped my forearms. “Oh—Ryan.”

  I continue to massage her thighs while I moved inside her. Her fingers glided through my hair as I kissed her. She was crumbling before me immediately. I didn’t have to do much to please her. She was always wet and horny for me.

  When I rubbed her clit with my thumb, she moaned again. “Oh—god.”

  I knew she was going to come. I darted my tongue inside her while I rubbed her clit harder. Her legs were shaking and she was panting for me.

  “Don’t stop, Ryan.”

  I didn’t.

  “Oh—God. Ryan—oh.”

  I pulled away and massaged her while she came down from her high. “What do you say?”

  “Thank you, your majesty,” she said through her heavy breathing.

  “You’re welcome,” I said with a smile. I grabbed my cock and massaged myself gently. I was so horny I thought I would explode. Now I wanted to come. I stood up and kneeled over her, preparing to fuck her.

  She grabbed me and pulled me down to the bed. Then, she moved to the foot of the bed and pulled my hips toward her. “Your turn.”

  I couldn’t hide my excitement. Janice gave amazing head. Just imagining her tongue gliding over my tip made me shiver. “Yes.”

  “You want it?”

  “Fuck yes.”

  She grabbed me and kissed the tip lightly.

  I moaned.

  “I’ll be right back.”

  I moaned in pain. I wanted to feel myself slide to the back of her throat.

  When she came back, she placed a glass of water on the floor then tied a cloth napkin around my head, covering my eyes. I clenched my fists in excitement.

  “Is this okay, your majesty?”

  “Yeah.”

  I heard her kneel before me. I couldn’t see anything, but I could feel her breasts against my knees. I heard her pick up the glass then return it to the floor. I waited for her mouth to close over me. The anticipation was enough to kill me. “Baby, please,” I begged. “Please.” I felt pathetic begging her to go down on me, but I was too horny to care. She did this to me, made me feel this way.

  When I felt her mouth close over me, I moaned. It was cold—very cold. An ice cube was in her mouth and felt it so good in her warm mouth. “Baby.” She sucked my tip until the ice melted. “Yeah.”

  She shoved me all the way to the back of her mouth then out again.

  I reached down and grabbed her head, clasping her hair in my fingers. “I can’t—oh god.”

  She continued to move me in and out of her mouth. I never lasted long when she gave me head. Even though I couldn’t see anything, I imagined her shoving my cock into the back of her throat. My dick was starting to swell as I felt the brink of the orgasm. Janice was too good at this for me to stay in control. I tried to hold it back but I was failing. “Baby, I’m gonna come.”

  She pulled her lips away. “Not yet.”

  “Baby, come back.”

  “I will,” she said as he licked my tip again.

  I moaned. “Baby, please.”

  “Be patient.” She deep-throated me again and I bit my lips as I felt her tongue slide across me. She increased her pace until I was crumbling again. I started to thrust my hips inside her as I felt my orgasm start. I didn’t make a sound because I didn’t want her to pull away. I wanted to come. Right before I reached my climax, she removed her mouth from my cock.

  “Come on,” I said with a moan.

  “It’ll be worth it,” she whispered before she returned her mouth to me.

  I sat up and placed my hands behind her head, thrusting myself gently inside her. “Stop teasing me, baby.” She shoved me to the back of her throat repeatedly. It felt so good. I felt my orgasm return. “Please let me come.”

  She used her hand to stroke me while she went down on me. At the second stroke, I felt myself explode. It crashed through me like a tidal wave from an approaching hurricane. It shattered me completely, making my head spin. The pleasure was almost too much. “Oh shit.” It flooded my body and ignited my veins, lighting me in a fiery blaze. It was the most intense orgasm I ever had. I was left feeling weak and throttled. I collapsed on the bed and tried to catch my breath. I didn’t remove the blindfold and just lied there.

  Janice pulled away then crawled on top of me. When she removed my blindfold, she looked at me. “You liked that?”

  “Oh—I—hmm.”

  “That’s what I thought,” she said as she kissed me on the lips. “Good night.”

  “Muh.”

  The next morning Scarlet came over with all of her belongings. I was so annoyed by her appearance. I didn’t have a problem with her staying with me because I loved having her around, but I was irritated that she ran from Sean. I’ve never been engaged, but I know couples don’t run from each other when they live together. Plus, she was infringing on my privacy with Janice. She and I did a lot of crazy shit in the bedroom. The last thing I wanted to do was be quiet.

  When I went to work, I tried to forget about the fact that my sister was staying with me. Hopefully it would just be for a day or two. I assumed Sean would drag her back once he got fed up with her staying there. She didn’t say what happened between them, but I assumed it had something to do with the weekend they just had. Scarlet blatantly insulted Sean’s family, and I understood why that bothered him even if the insults were true. I thought Scarlet was a pain in the ass but if anyone insulted her besides me and our family, I would go bat shit crazy on them.

  Scarlet told me everything when I came home that afternoon. After she told me what she was feeling, I wanted to slap her. She was being so fucking stupid and unreasonable. I’m surprised Sean didn’t kick her out on her ass. She was being totally selfish. I was thankful that Sean was willing to put up with this.

  Scarlet left for her room shortly afterward. I told her to go back to Sean but I knew she wouldn’t. She was too stubborn about this whole wedding fiasco. I understood her point of view but I still thought it was stupid.

  I looked at Janice. “You want to go to dinner, baby?”

  “If you let me pay.”

  I glared at her. “I already had to deal with one brat. Now you too?”

  She rolled her eyes. “Fine.”

  “Mega-Shake?”

  “Okay,” she said. “But that’s really fattening.”

  “Good,” I said. “I want you to eat.”

  “You should enjoy my body while you can. When I’m pregnant I’m not going to look so fine.”

  I pulled her to stand and plac
ed my hands on her stomach. “You would probably be even more fine if you were pregnant.”

  She raised an eyebrow.

  “I’m being serious. You would look cute with a swollen belly. It would be hot knowing you were carrying my child—that I put that inside you.”

  She rubbed her nose against mine. “You’re sweet, Ryan. But when I demand ice cream in the middle of the night, get mad over the dumbest things, and eat everything in sight you’ll feel differently.”

  “You sound like my sister.”

  She laughed.

  “And if I can handle her then I can handle you.”

  “You’ve had a lot of practice.”

  “And if our kids are brats then I’ll be prepared too.” I kissed her on the forehead. “Let’s go, baby.” I grabbed her hand and we walked out the door. When we stood in the elevator, I pushed her against the wall and started to kiss her neck, tasting her skin. She ran her fingers through my hair while she closed her eyes. When the doors opened, we left and headed down to the street.

  It was dark this fall evening and a bit chilly. I pulled Janice next to me as we walked to the restaurant a few blocks down. When we got inside, I led Janice to a seat then I ordered for the both of us. When I placed the food in front of her she smiled at me.

  “What?” I asked.

  “You’re just so sweet.”

  “You’re just noticing this now?”

  She shook her head. “It still surprises me.”

  “I’ve always been sweet to you.”

  “I know. But when I see you with other people I realize how rare that is for you.”

  I smiled. “That’s true.” I hate my fries while I stared at Janice across from me. She picked at her food and ate half of it. She never finished a meal no matter how small it was. Scarlet practically inhaled her food like a pig. It was ironic that these two were such good friends but so different. “I’m so glad you aren’t a brat like Scarlet.”

  She laughed. “She isn’t a brat.”

  “She’s being one right now. Poor Sean.”

  “She’ll realize she’s wrong then go back to him.”

  “You don’t understand how stubborn that girl is.”

  “Yes. But I also understand how much she loves Sean.”

  “Not when her head is up her ass.”

  She laughed again. “Leave her alone.”
