Misunderstood

by Kaylee, Katy

  “You put a target on yourself, Katie.” His eyes were soft, and I knew he cared. Maybe he didn’t love me, but he wanted me and the baby to be okay.

  “I know. I’m sorry about that too. I figure over time they’ll get bored with me. It’s you they like anyway, and since we won’t be together much except for the baby…” I let my sentence drift off.

  He stiffened. “Tell me what you want.”

  “What?” I looked into his blue eyes, wishing I understood what he was asking.

  “When you came to see me yesterday, what did you want?”

  I sniffed as new tears came. He would make me relive hearing him tell me he couldn’t forgive me. I supposed I owed it to him to grovel. “I wanted your forgiveness and another chance. I wanted to prove to you that I believed in you. That I loved you.”

  He gave a slight nod. “Do you still want that?”

  I was feeling lightheaded from the hope and the effort to squash the hope in case I was reading all this wrong.. “I’ll always want that Ryder. Always.”

  His intense blue eyes stared into mine. I hoped he saw my love and total devotion to him.

  His finger gently drew across my cheek where a tear had fallen. “I forgive you.”

  My breath hitched as joy bubbled up. But I held back. Giving forgiveness didn’t mean he would give me a second chance.

  “Thank you. I meant what I said Ryder. I love you. I know I don’t deserve you and I don’t know—”

  His finger pressed over my lips. “I’ve got more to say.”

  I nodded.

  His lips drew up into a smile and my heart sang from the beauty of it. “I love you, Katie.”

  “Oh my God, Ryder.” I threw my arms around him and held him tight. Even though his arms held me, I still wasn’t quite sure I was getting my second chance. I pulled back. “Does this mean we can try again?”

  “If you still want me, Katie, I want you.”

  “Yes, yes, Ryder, I want you.” I strew kisses all over his face, until he held my cheeks, steadied my head, and then kissed my lips so tenderly, I thought I’d swoon.

  When he finally pulled back, I stared into his gorgeous eyes wanting to imprint his face in my mind so I’d never forget this moment. The moment Ryder Malloy said he loved me.

  “I’ve got the night off and a room at this inn.” He brushed a tendril of hair that escaped from my ponytail back over my ear. “I’d like to spend it with you.”

  I nodded. “Yes.” Was he kidding? I wanted to spend every moment of every day for the rest of my life with him.

  “I have to be back early tomorrow and need to focus on training, but you can still stay if you want and come watch.”

  “I’d love that. Maybe I can for a day. I haven’t been fired yet, so I should probably not miss too much work.”

  “Fired?” He frowned. “Because of me?”

  I shook my head. “No. I broke the rules, and I’d do it again, Ryder.”

  “I don’t want to mess up your job.”

  I cradled his face in my hands. “I don’t care about that. I feel like I can’t breathe without you.”

  He smiled. “Me too.” He kissed me again and then stood, taking my hand and walking me toward the inn. He pulled out his phone and tapped out a message. I assumed he was letting my brother know I was staying.

  “It was nice of Danny to bring me here,” I said as Ryder opened the door to a room overlooking the garden we’d just sat in.

  “We’ve had a truce of sorts.”

  “I’m glad.” I stepped into the room and gasped. It was filled with flowers and a bottle of something sat in a wine bucket.

  “I’ve got sparkling apple juice, flowers, and me.” He grinned. “Does it impress my lady?”

  I laughed. “You’re all that’s needed to impress me, but this other stuff is nice.” I looped my arms around his neck. “But right now, I just want you. Naked if possible.”

  He quirked a brow. “Skip the romance and head to the good stuff, huh?”

  I nodded. “I need you to touch me.” The banter was light, but inside I was burning with need. Not just physical desire, although that was there. But also, emotional need. I felt like until he touched me, the hole in my heart wouldn’t be filled.

  He tugged me close. “I need to touch you, Katie.” His voice turned rough, as if he felt the same. Together we fumbled and pulled at our clothes until finally we were naked. “So beautiful.” He dropped to his knees and planted a kiss on my belly. He looked up at me. “I missed you, Katie.”

  I held his face in my hands. “I missed you, Ryder. So much.”

  His hands gently caressed my waist and hips, his lips stringing kisses on my belly and lower. “I want to taste you.”

  I gasped, and my pussy contracted. His fingers parted my pussy lips, and his tongue lapped through them, and then flicked over my clit. I moaned, loving the feel of his hot tongue on me. He sat me on the edge of the bed, pushing my knees apart and settling his shoulders between them.

  “You taste so good.” Then his lips were on my pussy again, licking, lapping, sucking and white sparks of electricity were shooting through every neuron. I slid my fingers through his thick blond hair, holding him to me as my hips moved in sync with his mouth.

  “Ryder.” I moaned as he pushed me to the brink and then backed off. “Please.”

  “Whatever you want, baby.” He devoured me again, and this time as I teetered on the edge, he inserted a finger inside me as he sucked my clit and pleasure crashed through me like a tidal wave, flowing through to every inch of my body. My hips rocked against his mouth as he drew out every last bit of pleasure from me.

  I was a wet noodle, as he moved me up higher on the bed and lay over me.

  “Look at me, Katie.”

  I opened my eyes, to find his blue ones sparkling back at me.

  “Look at me while I fill you.” His cock rubbed against my entrance, and my pussy contracted.

  I gripped his ass with my hands and pulled, needing him inside me. Needing to be one with him again.

  He slowly slid in, his gaze holding mine, and what was arcing between us at that moment was more than lust or desire. It was like our souls were merging.

  “I love you, Ryder.”

  “Ah, baby, I love you too.” When he was finally deep inside, he kissed me, gentle at first, but it quickly rose in heat as his body moved in mine.

  It felt so good, but I wanted a turn to pleasure him. I pushed at him, until he rolled us both and I was on top. I rose over him, sinking deeper on his cock.

  “Fuck, Katie.” His eyes rolled closed as his hips rose to fill me deeper.

  “Watch me,” I said, giving his words back to him. I took his hands and placed them over my breasts.

  His eyes were hot with desire as he watched me ride him and his hands kneaded and tweaked my breasts.

  “You have fantastic tits, Katie.” He levered up and sucked one into his mouth. I felt it go straight to my pussy, which squeezed around his cock. I could feel each ridge of his dick as it slid against my pussy walls.

  “Ryder,” I gasped. “I need to come. Oh God.”

  His hands held my hips, guiding me faster and hard over him. “Me too baby.” He lay back, and his hips rose and fell in the same rhythm as I rode him. His cock grew thicker as I got closer and closer to the edge.

  “Fuck, fuck, fuck… I’m coming…” he growled. The first splash of his cum coated my pussy walls and as it did, my own pleasure blasted like rockets through my body.

  “Oh yeah, baby,” he cried out.

  Together we moved and gasped and came down from our pleasure until I was sprawled boneless over his body. Our breaths were harsh as we recovered.

  “I’m sorry I hurt you, Ryder.” I murmured as I rest my head on his chest.

  “I’m sorry too baby.” His hand rubbed my back.

  I lifted my head. “From now on, we need a few rules.”

  He quirked a brow. “Such as?”

  “For one,
I need to be sure that you know I totally trust and believe in you. Because I do Ryder.”

  Emotion swam through his eyes.

  “You’re a wonderful man, and I hate that your parents scarred a part of you into thinking there was something wrong about you, because there isn’t.”

  His eyes looked away, but I took his chin in my hand and forced him to look at me.

  “You aren’t lacking in anything, Ryder. You’re a wonderful person despite them. I’m going to work hard to make sure you know that every day.”

  “Thank you.” He lifted his head and kissed me.

  “There’s something you need to work on too.”

  His brow arched. “I thought I was wonderful just as I am.”

  I smiled and licked his nipple, making him hiss. In a minute, I’d spend more time doing that. First, I had to get us on the right track. “You are, but it’s important that when you feel like me or anyone isn’t appreciating you, you have to talk to me. You can’t just walk away.”

  “I guess that’s my MO.”

  I nodded. “And I don’t blame you, but if you remember that I love you and think the world of you, then you need to talk to me when you’re feeling rejected.”

  “I’m a pussy.”

  I squeezed his cock with my pussy. “No, I’ve got the pussy. I trust you Ryder, and you need to trust me. Trust that I love you so much it makes my heart hurt.”

  He rubbed his fingers over my heart. “I feel the same, Katie. I swear I do.”

  I smiled. “Good. Now.” I turned toward his nipples and started licking and biting him. By the time I was done, I’d moved down his body, and sucked his cock until his cum filled my mouth and he was yelling my name. Yep, life was good.

  Ryder

  My life was fucking awesome. After I finished training camp, I walked into my home and found Katie standing naked in my living room. Her hair was down, flowing around shoulders and the sun streaked around her like she was a goddess. She was my goddess.

  “I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t bring any of my teammates home with me. I’d have to kill them for seeing my woman in all her glory.”

  She smiled, and the beauty of it made my heart sing. “Good thing indeed.”

  I dropped my bags and moved to her, kissing her as my hand drifted over her belly, where the first signs of our baby were showing. Her belly moved under my hand, making me stop the kiss. I looked into Katie’s eyes.

  Her smile brightened. “Say hello to your baby.”

  I dropped to my knees to worship her belly. “He’s moving?”

  “Yes. He or she.”

  We decided we didn’t want to know the sex of the baby. As long as it was healthy, I didn’t care. Boy, girl, it didn’t matter to me.

  Her stomach moved again, and tears sprang to my eyes. “Fucking miracle.” Katie’s fingers laced through my hair.

  “That’s your daddy,” she said to the baby. “He’s a big, strong man. When you get bigger, he’ll teach you to throw a football.”

  I looked up at her. “If it’s a girl, by the time she gets bigger, maybe there will be more girls in football. Like Jess at the vet community.”

  “Maybe.” She bent over and kissed my head. “Speaking of which, I stopped by there the other day. They can’t wait to see you and hear about camp.”

  I rose and pulled her to me. “Thank you for doing that. I know it means a lot to them to see you.”

  “Ryder, I love them too.”

  I stared at her for a long moment.

  “What?”

  “I want to make love to you, but now that the baby is moving, will it be weird?”

  She laughed. “No. And if you don’t make love to me, I’ll be very disappointed.”

  In one quick move, I swooped her into my arms and carried her to the bedroom. I laid her on the bed, admiring her lush body as she stretched out for me.

  “Did you miss me while I was gone?” I asked as I tore off my clothes.

  “Yes.”

  “How much?”

  “This much.” She opened her legs giving me a stellar view of her wet pussy.

  “Did you think of me?” I kicked my shoes off and yanked off my pants, freeing my cock.

  “I did.”

  “Did you touch yourself thinking of me?”

  A slight blush came to her cheeks. “Yes. But it’s not the same as having you here in the flesh.” Her head cocked to the side. “Did you touch yourself?”

  “Not at camp. Too many people around. My cock is going to explode here in a moment.”

  “Let me help you with that.” She sat up, and as I moved onto the bed on my knees, she gripped my cock and sucked him deep into her mouth.

  “Ah fuck, Katie.” It was like a nuclear bomb detonated in my body to feel her sweet lips suck on my cock after so much time away. “Jesus, fuck… I’m going to come too fast.” I pushed her away.

  “I want to taste you.”

  “Next time, baby.” I lay her back and covered her body with mine. “I need to be inside your body.” I pushed her hair from her face as I looked down in her eyes. “I like all the ways we pleasure each other but being inside you, a part of you…” I stalled as I struggled to find the right words.

  She ran her fingers through my hair. “I know. It’s magic.”

  I nodded, glad she understood.

  “You’re magic.” I kissed her, savoring the sweet taste of her hot mouth.

  There had been a time I thought it would be impossible to settle with one woman. It seemed like life would get old and stale if it was the same day in and day out. Sex, in particular, would become boring.

  But every time I touched Katie, it was like I discovered something new. The physical excitement was always beyond compare, but even more than that, I felt whole. Like she was the piece my heart or maybe my soul that had been missing for most of my life. I knew I’d never get bored with her. I never would get enough of her.

  She didn’t know it yet, but someday we’d be married and we’d have a brood of kids. But her words several months ago about not wanting to get married just because of a baby stuck with me. So my goal now was to make sure I loved her. That wanting to spend my life with her was about her, and not the baby.

  Right now, my goal was to reconnect with her in the most primal way, flesh to flesh. I plunged my dick deep into her pussy, loving how it sucked and squeezed as I pushed inside her. Her head tilted back, and I kissed the sexy column of her neck, tasting the light sheen of her perspiration. I made her hot, and that turned me on even more.

  I adjusted my weight, not wanting to put too much on her belly. “You okay, baby?”

  “Fuck me, Ryder.”

  I laughed at the need in her voice. “Yes, ma’am.” I took my time, watching her face as I withdrew and then slid back in. I loved the noises she made when I hit the hilt, pushing her up making her tits sway. I sucked a nipple into my mouth as I withdrew and sank into her again.

  “Yes… so good… God… you’re so big…”

  “Compared to what?” I licked along her collar bone.

  Her eyes opened. “I don’t know. I’ve never had another dick.”

  It was stupid, but knowing that filled me with perverse pride. I was the only man she’d had, and if I had my way, I’d be the only one she ever would.

  “Not even a fake one?”

  She shook her head. “Just yours Ryder.” She cocked her head to the side. “I wonder if you could use yours as a model for a toy company. That would be a lucrative endorsement.”

  I burst out laughing. “Ah baby, you’re too much.” I kissed her hard and then trailed little kisses to her ear. “You’re the only one that can really appreciate my cock.”

  She sighed. “I wouldn’t want to share anyway.”

  I continued to pump slowly, the heat and need building by slow degrees. It was magical and beautiful, even though it was torture not to give in to my raging desire to pump hard and fast into her sweet pussy.

  She must have
felt the same, because she whimpered and her hands gripped my ass, pulling me harder and faster against her.

  “I don’t want to hurt the baby,” I whispered to her.

  “You won’t.” I could hear the desperation in her voice.

  I withdrew, and she let out a curse. But I turned her over onto on all fours. In this position, I wouldn’t be putting pressure on her belly.

  I moved behind her and wrapped my arm around her body. She rose up on her knees so her back was against my chest. I kissed her ear, her neck, and her shoulder, as one hand kneaded her tit and the other slid down to her clit.

  “Oh, Ryder.”

  “Yes, baby.”

  Her head dropped back on my shoulder, and I loved how she surrendered her pleasure to me. I didn’t want to disappoint her, so continued to tweak her nipple, and dipped my fingers inside her. Her body hunched down on my fingers, riding them.

  “Take what you need, baby,” I whispered in her ear.

  Her breath grew harsh as her body rode my fingers. I pressed my thumb on her clit and she cried out as her pussy gripped my fingers.

  “Yes, come on my fingers, baby.”

  She came on a long moan that was so beautiful. She finally came down as I held her, telling her how much I loved her.

  She turned her head to look back at me. “Fuck me, Ryder.” Then she dropped her hands on the bed onto all fours.

  I gripped her hips, and sank into her sweet body again, thinking I’d be able to continue to have the same control I’d shown so far. But the minute my dick was inside her body, and her back arched, her head thrown back, I was a slave to my desire.

  “Fuck, Katie.” I went from zero to one hundred, pounding away at her as my need to come became as necessary as breathing. My hips slapped against her ass each time I plunged in. “Can you come, baby? I need to feel you come on me.”

  I could hear her breath quicken, but wasn’t sure she was ready yet.

  “Touch yourself.” I was teetering on the edge but didn’t want to go over without her. My orgasms were never as good as when her pussy gripped me like a vise.

  “Ryder… oh God…” And there it was. Her body contracted, squeezed, and sent me to the stars. Jesus, it was so good, as pleasure flooded my body.
