The arm that held her back slid around to join his free hand on her sides as he dipped his head to place whispers of a kiss on the side of her mouth. He moved his mouth along her jaw, blowing his warm minty breath on her skin. He was glad he had thought to grab a mint from their table after his mushroom burger.
His mind flashed to a different elevator with a different girl and he froze. This couldn’t happen. He didn’t want to think about Heather when he was with his girl. He pulled back and looked into the green eyes of his past and hopefully his future. Smiling at her, he shook the thoughts of Heather out of his head before capturing Rylan’s mouth with his.
Their elevator ride ended, and the doors slid open to their suite. Rylan walked out first, leaving Cole following behind her watching her ass sway from left to right. He wanted her. He wanted to run his hands over her luscious ass and follow her curves to cup her perfect breasts. He watched her every move as she sat the to-go container on the table and opened it, revealing a huge slice of what looked like chocolate heaven. Cole didn’t usually do dessert. He already had a few chocolate covered strawberries, and he had to admit they were delicious. Watching the way Rylan’s eyes lit up as she opened her box of sweet goodies had him curious how the sweet treat tasted.
Rylan collected a fork full of cheesecake and sashayed her way to him. “Open.” He opened his mouth and waited as she placed the fork between his lips, resting it on his tongue. The milk chocolate and sweet caramel flavors swirled on his tongue as she instructed him to close his lips around the forkful. She pulled the fork out between his sealed lips, dragging against his bottom lip and leaving a trail of sugar. Cole was beginning to love the idea of dessert, and he had to admit the sweet and tangy cheesecake was delicious. Rylan leaned toward him and stood up on her tip toes as she licked her lips before sticking her pink tongue out and licking the leftover sugar from his lips. “Mmmmm… Feed me a bite?” Rylan gave him pouty eyes as she stuck out her bowed bottom lip a little more than normal.
“Yeah.” He was so turned on that he had to take a few deep breaths to calm his raging hormones before he followed her to the couch. He stood next to the couch sliding off his suit jacket and unbuttoning the cuffs on his dress shirt before rolling the sleeves up. Needing to breathe, he undid a few buttons on the dress shirt as well.
“Good idea, let me get comfortable. I love this dress, but I need to get out of these heels they bought me and let my hair down.”
Cole wanted nothing more than to make her comfortable. He was having a hard time talking and getting his feelings across. “Let me.” He gently guided her back to the couch before running his hand down the outside of her thigh following the slit in her dress down to her ankle. Lifting her foot, he placed a soft kiss to her calf before making a trail of warm, wet kisses down as he gripped her heel and slipped it off. Placing a lasting kiss on her toes, as he massaged the arch of her foot, and then he started the process over again on the opposite leg, giving her right foot the same attention. Lowering her feet to the couch, he turned her body so her back was resting against the arm of the couch. He stood behind her head, caressing it as he plucked the bobby pins from her pinned up curls. Rylan moaned in appreciation as he loosened her hair.
Everything about her was intoxicating. She had her head tipped back in his hands as her hair fell loose, cascading over the arm rest. With each curl unpinned and each moan released, Rylan would slide one foot up along the other as if what he was doing to her was completely erotic. Wiggling his fingers through her hair and placing soft touches to her scalp, he leaned over whispering in her ear. “Are you ready for your dessert now?” His lips brushed her ear lobe, and she shivered in need.
“Yessss…”
Cole moved around the table, lifting her legs he slid underneath them before taking the fork and cutting her a piece of heaven. With her bottom pressed against his thigh, he was close enough to reach her mouth without her having to move. He leaned toward her a little, tracing her bottom lip with his thumb, and he popped it open before offering her the bite of cheesecake. As the sweet treat touched her taste buds, Rylan sighed in ecstasy as she closed her eyes, savoring the saccharinity.
“You keep making noises like that, babe, and I won’t be able to hold back. Shit, I don’t think I can give you another bite without embarrassing myself.” He took in her relaxed state of bliss from a bite of fucking cheesecake. He wanted to see that look on her after he was finished with her.
Opening her eyes, she flashed him her mischievous smile again, the one that crinkled her nose and shined in her eyes. “One more, please.” She let her mouth fall open and her eyes closed as she waited for him to feed her.
Groaning at the growing discomfort in his pants and the tightening in his stomach, Cole leaned forward to collect another bite before leaning toward her. This time as he pushed the fork over her lips she closed her lips slightly causing chocolate and caramel to collect on them. Once he pulled the fork back out of her mouth, he bit his lower lip while watching her seductively swipe her tongue across her upper lip. He felt something brush against his hardened length. When he felt it a second time, he knew it was her sexy foot rubbing him through his slacks.
“Did I get it all?” She whispered.
“No.” He brushed her legs off as he made his way up her body, pressing kisses to her exposed flesh on her upper thighs, the inside of her wrist and elbow. He trailed his tongue across her collar bones leaving a warm trail in his wake. With open-mouthed sucking kisses up her neck and along her jaw, he finally reached the sweetness of her lips. Devouring her lips and sucking every trace of dessert from her tongue, he left her panting.
“Cole…”
“I don’t think I got it all. Come on.” He slid off her. After standing up, he bent over and wrapped an arm under her legs and behind her back, lifting her to his chest. “If this isn’t what you want, tell me now babe, because once I get you in there I won’t stop until you’re screaming my name.”
Her desire filled eyes met with his, locking in an understanding. They both wanted the same thing, to reconnect with their bodies. Cole set her feet on the ground at the edge of the bed. Spinning her away from him, he gripped the zipper in his fingers and lowered it slowly while seductively kissing across her back and down the line of revealed smooth skin. As he pushed her dress past her hips, he gasped at the lack of underwear and the Venus piercing accenting the dimples on her lower back.
“Sexy as fuck. And no bra or panties, how’d I get so lucky?” He dropped down to his knees placing gentle kisses to both piercings before taking his time caressing her backside and kissing across her lower back to one hip and then other. He gradually lifted her leg out of the dress that pooled at her feet. Taking her other leg in his hand, he playfully bit her ass cheek before removing the leg he was holding from the pile of dress on the floor. As he stood, he dragged his fingers up her body and lifted her body at the waist depositing her on the bed with a soft bounce. “You’re beautiful, Ry.”
“My turn.” She clutched his dress shirt in her fist, pulling him toward her. She slowly slid the third button out of the button hole before giving him the same attention and placing a kiss on his smooth chest.
Cole tipped his head back and closed his eyes as she slowly kissed and unbuttoned her way down his chest to his stomach. Finally reaching the last button, she placed an open mouth kiss on his waist line causing his dick to jump in anticipation and him to suck in a shuddered breath. He wanted her, now. He needed to pick her up, spin her around order her to clutch the headboard as he pounded in to her from behind. But this was Rylan and that’s not what he truly wanted. He let her work as slow as he did at seducing him. This was the best foreplay he’d ever had.
Rylan slipped her hand into the waist of his slacks and eased the button through its slit before lowering the zipper. She kissed his “V,” licking along the ridge that connected his lower abs and hip flexor. Cole never appreciated the work he put into that muscle until that moment when Rylan’s tongue
licked every inch of it. He couldn’t suppress the shudder that ripped through his body at her antics.
“Ry…”
“Just step out of your pants and let me love you.” She shoved his pants and boxers down his thighs and he kicked out of them. Rylan’s hands ran up his thighs as she glanced up at Cole one more time while flicking her pink tongue out to lick the tip of his cock. She caressed his length from tip to base before she dropped one hand to cup his balls. Tracing her tongue up his shaft, Cole swore under his breath. She was going to be the death of him.
When her warm mouth closed over the top of him and swallowed him down, he gripped her hair out of reflex. Rylan didn’t protest, and Cole gripped it harder, pulling on her hair slightly. Picking up her speed, Rylan bobbed her head. Cole was lost between needing it to stop and wanting it to keep going. In pure frustration, he growled out, releasing Rylan’s hair and stepping back, away from her.
“Come on Ry, on the bed, babe.” Rylan climbed on the bed, but stayed on her knees, not lying back. Cole shook his head as he gently pushed her back and lifted her legs out from underneath her. Meeting her eyes, he gave her a lopsided grin before he started placing kisses up her calves, and thighs before ghosting over her center, inhaling her sweet aroma without touching her.
Rylan shivered with anticipation, goose bumps peppering her skin. A soft whimper escaped her as Cole stayed steady above her core and breathed her in. Cole caressed her center, making love to her with his tongue. Rylan squirmed and moaned as waves of desire and ecstasy coursed through her. Flicking and circling her nub with his tongue, he fought off the sensation to grab his cock and bring himself pleasure as he brought it to Rylan. Running a finger up her wet center, he eased it into her, and Rylan’s cry of pleasure and bucking of her hips was the reaction he was hoping for, he had her moaning out his name and clawing at his head.
“Oh… Oh… Cole!” She clutched his ears and thrust her hips up toward his mouth. As she started to come down, Cole slipped his fingers out of her and kept up the frantic rhythm on her clit as he climbed her body, keeping her on the edge. Wiping his face on the sheets before he reached her chest, he stopped and sucked on her hard nipples. He kissed his way up to her mouth and paused. Looking into her beautiful eyes, he groaned in hindrance knowing he needed to halt everything and pull on a condom.
Rylan’s brows creased in concern at the look on his face. Cole stepped away from the bed, digging in his pants for the condom he knew was there. Rylan sat panting, coming down from her high and watching. “We don’t need that.”
His head snapped up. “Huh? Why not?”
“I’m on the pill, and I trust you. Come here.”
Well that was perfect, except he wished they’d discussed it earlier, prior to breaking up their rhythm. Dropping the package, he went back to the bed and went back down on the girl he loved more than anything. Before too long they were both right back where they had left off. Cole’s lips captured Rylan’s mouth in an expert dance. He licked her bottom lip, getting her to open up. As he slid his tongue into her mouth, he slid his length into her. Both of them groaned in pleasure as he began rocking his hips in and out.
Reaching her hand between their bodies, Rylan brought herself back to edge of an orgasm. Moaning and writhing beneath him. Cole growled into her ear, “You like that, babe?”
“Yes! Oh God yes, Cole!” She shuddered and squeezed her legs around his hips, making it impossible for him to move.
“Loosen up babe, I can’t keep moving.”
“Hold on, I’m so close.” She squeezed her inner walls and thighs again, grinding against his shaft and pelvic bone.
“Aaaahhhhh!” She cried out as their bodies trembled, squeezing Cole tighter, and making him lose control in that instant. When her legs fell loose and he could move once again, it didn’t take him long to reach the point she was just at. Thrusting into her hard and fast had him groaning out in reply, as he emptied himself into her. “Ryyyyyy… dear God.”
After cleaning up and crawling back into bed, he kissed Rylan’s head. He whispered against the black strands, “That was amazing. I’ve missed you so much.”
Rylan sleepily answered back. “It was. We need to practice on coming together. But I’m okay with practicing. Miss you and love you, Cole.” Her eyes drifted closed and snuggled into his chest a little more.
Cole sighed, kissing her head again. “Love you, babe.”
With Rylan wrapped in his arms, Cole smiled as he drifted to sleep.
Chapter Eight
The sun was setting against the back of the house as Cole walked down the steps leading toward his circular drive. After leaving Jacksonville, he brought Rylan home for the first time. They christened his room, the room he hoped to call theirs very soon.
He left Rylan with the crews at the estate as he drove over to the airport to pick up his mom. Seeing her for the first time in five years was surreal. It felt almost as good as seeing Rylan--almost. His eyes met hers and he saw the happiness and fear in her eyes. “Mom.”
“Chris… I mean Cole, how are you son?” She approached him wearily.
“It’s okay, Mom. I know it will take some getting use to. I’m good. Real good.”
He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her to him. She slid an arm around his waist. “That’s good, son. We ready?”
“Do we need to go get your luggage?” He flicked his gaze toward the baggage claim.
“No, I packed everything in here.” She lifted her carry on.
Cole grabbed it from her and led the way to his truck. Opening her door and helping her in, he smiled before closing the door and throwing the carry on in the back of the truck.
They drove the distance to his house talking about Rylan and their reunion, but as they pulled into the driveway his mom sat up straighter. “Before we get there, I was asked to ask you if you would call your father. He wants to explain a few things. But he wants to do it on your terms. He doesn’t want to push himself on you, like I have.”
“Mom, stop. You didn’t. I called you. I asked you to come. I will call him as soon as I am ready. Okay?”
“That’s all I ask.”
“So things with you and dad are okay then?”
McKenna dropped her head, closing her eyes. “We still live together but things are strained and have been. We’ll figure it all out, Son.”
Cole just shook his head. He knew, he knew it was because of the ultimatum and his leaving. He’d call his dad and maybe that would lead to his parents fixing things too.
The week with his mom and Rylan in his home was perfect. It finally felt like a home, and he didn’t want to lose that feeling. He never wanted Rylan to leave. He asked her to stay with him between races that season. Luckily, she agreed.
The next thing he had to do was call his father. Was he ready to hear his excuses? He wasn’t sure, but he was ready to move forward, and to be able to do that he had to start fixing things with his dad.
He paced the circular drive that was covered in pebbles, with his thumb hovering over the send button. You can do this, West! You’re a grown man. Taking a deep breath in before blowing it out, he closed his eyes and lowered his thumb before lifting the phone to his ear.
“Christopher Leadman.” His dad’s voice sounded older and tired.
Cole internally struggled with how to address the man. Should he call him “Dad” or “Father?” Maybe he should just address him as “Christopher.” He swallowed all fear about confronting his dad.
“Dad.”
“Chris, I’m glad you called. We have a lot to talk about.”
“Yeah, we do.” He admitted.
His dad let out a long sigh before starting in on their past. “Son, I want, no, I need you to understand why I gave you the ultimatum I did. When I turned twenty, my father forced my hand in staying and joining the company. I was in love with your mom. My father didn’t want me to race. He knew if he offered me the company and his permission to marry your mother, whom he didn’t l
ike, that I would stay.
“I knew racing was your dream. I thought I knew that if you stayed for Rylan, you would have never followed your dream. Now, I can see that I was wrong. I apologize for that, for making you choose so young. If I had waited, I would have known nothing would have come between you and your dream or you and your girl.”
“I didn’t know that about you and mom. I didn’t know. You’re right though, nothing would have come between me and Rylan, especially not racing.”
“Once you left and changed your name I realized what a huge mistake I made. Things between your mom and I became difficult. She blamed me for your disappearing, and rightfully so. We rarely talk, until you called her we hadn’t said more than a handful of words to each other. I started searching for you and came up empty handed. You were gone. I stopped following racing, it hurt too much. I’m sorry son. I don’t expect you to forgive me right now, but I do hope we can fix this--fix us. I miss you, Chris.”
“It’s Cole now. I want to talk and fix us too. Since getting Ry back, I realized how much I miss you and mom. Why don’t you come here after the next race is finished?”
“That sounds good, son. I’ll be there when you guys get back. Your mom and I both will be.”
“Okay, Dad, I’ll see you then.” They both hung up, and Cole looked at his phone, not really sure what to do with what his dad said. He figured time would tell.
Epilogue
Present Day
RYLAN
Two years ago, I came back into Cole’s life, and it was a whirlwind of sex, fights, and racing. It was everything I missed over the five years we were apart. Not long after Cole and I reunited in Jacksonville, he started working on the relationship with his parents. He actually called his father, and as of today, they are together. We are a family.
