Broken Love (Broken 4)

We slowly undressed one another in silence. Nothing needed to be said because our love filled the entire room. My heart had never beat this hard before in my life. The idea of making love to her and knowing she would be mine forever was amazing.

Jumping back, Ava said, “Oh wait!” She reached down and began itching her leg like crazy. “It. Itches. So. Bad!”

I tried like hell not to laugh. There was no way I was going to say anything. She finally had that damn thing off and I was going to baby the hell out of her. “How about a nice hot bath?”

Her eyes lit up. “That sounds wonderful, but I’m supposed to be going Salsa dancing with Jay.”

With a chuckle, I kissed the tip of her nose. “You got your cast off and you’re ready to go.”

“Well, not really. I planned it before I got the bright idea of getting the cast off. I made an appointment and it just so happened they were able to remove it. But, now that you’re here, we have time to fool around and then go out.”

“With, Jay? Your evil friend who left you drunk and alone? No thanks.”

Ava hit my chest. “Stop it. She’s my best friend, and I’m not sure when I’ll get to go out with her again. Besides, I have a sexy little dress I’ve been wanting to wear.”

She frowned. “That is if I can still fit into it with all the food your mother has been giving me.”

Placing my hands on her hips, my chest felt tight. I loved this woman so much. “You look beautiful and I’d love to go dancing with my beautiful fiancée.”

Slipping her panties down, she gave me a sexy smile that had my heart stopping. Licking her soft lips, she softly said, “I think we need to get back to the whole fooling around thing.”

STEPPING OUT OF my bedroom, I waited for Ryder to turn around. The little silver cocktail dress I had bought a few months back fit like a glove. It hugged me in all the right places. The only thing that would make this better is if I had on my expensive-ass Michael Kors heels that I bought as a pick me up when Johnny dumped me. The last thing I wanted to do was break my ankle again.

I cleared my throat and waited for him to see me. When he did, I couldn’t hide the smile that spread across my face. Even though we had just made the sweetest love to one another, Ryder was looking at me like he wanted more. Like he needed more. His face curved up into a sm

ile that was so breathtaking I wanted to call Jay and tell her I wasn’t interested in going out anymore.

“My god, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

I lifted my foot and wiggled my toes. “I can’t wear my sexy heels though. I think I’ll have to wear flats which won’t really do anything for the dress.”

He slowly sauntered my way. “Fuck the shoes. They couldn’t do anything more if they tried.”

Slipping his hand behind my neck, he pulled me closer. “If I kiss you, I’ll smear your lipstick.”

“I can always put it back on.”

He kissed me ever so softly on the lips, causing my stomach to dance with excitement. Every time he kissed me, I was taken to a place I never wanted to leave. There was something so amazingly different about Ryder. He not only held my heart, he owned my soul.

The knock on the door had him pulling his lips away. I wanted to scream out for him to keep kissing me, but if I knew Jay, she would just walk in.

“That’s probably Jay.”

“Lucky me,” Ryder mumbled before sitting down on the sofa.

I was still limping a bit on my leg. It felt weak, but I wasn’t sure if it was in my head and I was just scared or it really was weak.

“Does she know I’m here?”

Pressing my lips together, I glanced over my shoulder. “No,” I said scrunching my nose.

Ryder smiled. “This should be fun.”

Opening the door, I smiled big. “Hey there!”

She whistled. “Damn girl. Are you hoping to get laid tonight?”

My face dropped. “Jesus, Jay. Really?”
