“I’ve never had sex on stage before,” Whitney whispered, as Ryder pressed her against the side wall of the massive auditorium in the Davenport Hall.
“Well, I’m set to fix that real quick,” he said against her mouth.
The grand opening had been a success yesterday. Of course, Davenport had tried to come after Ryder and say he’d ruined the event, but Davenport’s anger had softened when people kept coming up to him to say that Ryder’s very public declaration of love had given the event the energy it needed. If there’d been any doubt, it had disappeared when the oldest couple in Diamond took the microphone and said Ryder had inspired them to renew their vows then and there.
Diamond Construction was set to start building on Davenport land in a few weeks.
“It was so kind of you to offer to help clean up today,” Ryder said, kissing Whitney hard.
The others in the cleanup crew were in the main dining area. Ryder had taken her away and snuck her into the auditorium, where they could be alone. The only thing shielding them if someone were to enter was a thick velvet curtain that hung from the rafters. He had no problem kissing her in public, not anymore, but hey, both of them had to admit that a little forbidden love got them excited.
“Have I told you how sexy you look in this dress?” he asked, kissing down her neck while bringing the hem of her short black skirt higher.
“Almost as sexy as you, cowboy.” She opened his button-down shirt enough that she could get her mouth on his hard chest.
“Still not a cowboy, but I’ll happily buy a cattle ranch if it gets you wet like this.” His fingers skimmed between her folds, and she arched to his touch. “No panties? Why sweetness, I’d venture to guess you were trying to tempt me tonight.”
“Me?” she said breathlessly. “I wouldn’t think of it.” She gave a gentle bite on his pec, and he hissed. “Besides, my panties keep getting destroyed.”
“That’s what happens to boundaries that get in the way,” he said. “I tear them down.”
She smiled. Ryder loved on her body like nothing she’d ever felt, and though it had only been twenty-four hours since he’d claimed her as his, she knew she could spend a lifetime and never get use to the amount of happiness she felt knowing they belonged to each other.
She undid his pants, reached in, and gripped his hard cock. He hoisted her up, and she wrapped her legs around him, losing herself in his kiss as she positioned him right at her entrance.
“I’ve never been so damn happy in all my life,” he rasped against her mouth. He thrust inside of her. “I love you so much, sweetness.”
She hugged him hard and held on as he rocked in deep and slow. “I love you, too,” she said, and arched into his every move as he brought their bodies higher and higher toward release.
“Please don’t stop,” she begged, as fireworks went off beneath her skin.
“Never. I’ve finally caught you, and I’m never letting go now.” He kissed her until all she could ever believe in was him. “You’re my candy, sweetness. And I plan on eating you for every meal of the day.”
“Promise?” she breathed.
“Yes, ma’am.”
He’d finally caught her, and she would hang on tight, because the man she loved would forever spur her own adventure, every day for the rest of her life.
