It has been a while since Mary has been with a male. Several years, actually. Most of them were just looking to have some fun, and Mary was no longer in that place. But being pinned between Ryker and his large mattress, Mary felt a jolt of delight that she hasn't felt in years.

Ryker lowered his head and kissed her. A gentle caress that made her heart ache and her body yearn for more before he turned hard and demanding. It made her feel like a porcelain doll that he didn't want to break, but desired her all at the same time. His tongue sank into her mouth. Stroking and caressing her responses. His gentleness but manliness made her feel magical things. A yearning that developed deep inside her stomach and between her legs. It made her want more.

Mary's fingers slid up the hard plains of his back. His hands were sliding underneath her over-sized t-shirt. At the touch of his rough, calloused hands against the skin of her stomach, the fire inside of her grew in a fury. A moan slipped from her. She arched her back for more. Her thighs rubbed against his and they felt like hot steel. The friction of their body made her burn for more of him.

Ryker released her lips almost reluctantly before he buried his face in the crook of her neck. He nibbled on her earlobe with his teeth before his tongue stroked the sensitive skin. Immediately, Mary shivered beneath him. The tips of her fingers scored into his back.

In Ryker's mind, he knew he needed to go slow. Lord, he wanted to savor every moment. He prayed for patience in this very moment, but the feel of her body and those soft little throaty sounds she makes—it was driving him mad with obsessive need.

His thoughts came to a screeching halt when he felt her lips brushed against his neck. It slid up like little butterfly wings. Grazing and sending his nerves on fire.

Sweet Gods and Goddesses above, Ryker prayed.

He needed more of her.

Ryker slid up the hem of shirt to expose her breasts. Relieved to see that she wore no bra. Instantly, Ryker palmed her breasts in his hands. Bringing one perfect nipple into his mouth. He sucked and lapped the nipple while twisting the other one in between his pointer finger and thumb.

"Ryker," she mewed and squirmed beneath him.

He released her nipple and kissed a path down the valley of breasts to her stomach.

Her hands threaded through his hair. Mary was at his complete mercy. She ached so much for him that she couldn't think straight. Only his name echoed inside her head.

When Ryker reached just below her belly button, he peeled back her pajama pants. Placed a hot open mouth kiss there before kneeling between her legs. His fingers curled inside the pants.

Their eyes met. He began pulling off her clothes. One by one discarded and thrown somewhere carelessly. Her eyes drifted to his hard and long erection. She should be afraid at how big it was but her walls throbbed in anticipation.

Ryker hooked his arms underneath her legs and yanked her forward. She released a surprised cry that turned into a low moan when he latched his mouth onto her sensitive core.

Her hips were raised and high. He had a strong hold on her legs. She couldn't wiggle even if she wanted to.

"Ryker," she gasped when he lapped around her sensitive nub.

"Please, I--" Air evaporated when he thrust his tongue inside her.

Ryker indulged her core sumptuously. Watching her reaction with each stroke and thrust.

Mary became frantic when the knot inside of began twisting. The build up overwhelmed her and when the knot snapped, she screamed his name. Locking her legs around his head but his firm grip on her thighs didn't allow her to move an inch.

Wave after wave.

Finally, when she collapsed onto the bed in exhaustion, he let go of her legs and crawled on top of her again. She felt his hard erection rub against her core. It throbbed and jerked on contact.

Mary opened her eyes to find him already looking at her. His eyes were soft as he cupped her cheeks. When his thumb grazed her cheek, she realized she was crying. The feeling...it was unheard of. She felt everything.

"Thank you," she rasped, not knowing really what she was thanking him for. Mind-blowing orgasm? Or how he loved and cared for her body like she was the only thing existed.

Her hand slid between them. She wrapped her hand around him before guiding him inside her.

Biting her bottom lip, she felt him stretch her bit by bit. He was definitely a large man.

With the other hand, she slid it around his neck and brought his lips down to her. Wrapped her legs around his waist and he slid inside her instantly.

He groaned while she gasped in the midst of their kisses. She felt a pinch of pain from his large size.

Mary deepened the kiss while caressing the back of his neck, urging him to move.

Finally, he pulled out before thrusting back in. The new sensation sent her skin tingling and toes curling. He repeated the action and she tore her lips away from him to hide between his neck and shoulder. Her arms and legs wrapped around his body. Ryker placed a firm hand on one of her thigh as he rocked them both to the edge.

Grunts, groans, and sweat filled the room. Their scents mingled and heated the air.

"Mary," he rasped huskily. The bed shook with each thrust.

She latched her mouth onto the skin of his neck and sucked. It drove him mad with lust.

Ryker sped to the finish line. The bed screeched in protest.

Lights.

Stars.

Mary couldn't think. She was going crazy with emotions. In that moment, both of them were feeling something. Something was changing inside of them. Twisting and pulling them toward each other.

Her canines peaked out while she sucked on his neck. He felt it. Instead of pulling away, he rocked harder. Pummeling to a frazzled point. Every time he hit her deep, she felt a little piece of her gave way. Mary was losing herself.

"Mary," he said throatily.

Raw emotions could be heard in his voice. He tightened his hands on her thighs, lifting them up into a sitting position.

Mary pulled back, placing her hands on the bridge between his shoulder and neck. She moved up and down his length. Their eyes never leaving each other. Her lips quivered with emotions and pleasure. He slid his hands up her hips and to the back of her spine. She shivered beneath his exploring hands.

Ryker saw no one more beautiful as she was. Mary's brown hair falling in a mess around her shoulders. Her cheeks were flushed. Her eyes were round and filled with desire. It captivated him.

In this moment, he knew that this wasn't as simple as it seems. Whatever path or decision he chose that involved Mary, he knew it would end up here either way.

Mary rocked harder on top of him. Pressed her forehead against his

"No regrets, Ryker. I'm with you," she whispered words that made Ryker's heart twist with emotions.

Growling, he pushed her back onto the bed and pinned her hands above her head. Pulling out almost completely he thrust deeply inside her. She cried out his name and he did it again. Harder and faster. Quickening their pace until they were barreling towards the finish line.

Mary arched her back as her released claimed her. Ryker watched her for a second. The way she fell part beneath him before he allowed himself to let go. Pulling out at the last second to stroke his release onto her stomach.

Once done, he fell on top of her and captured her lips. Mary shivered in exhaustion but wrapped her arms around him. He moved his lips to the crook of her neck. Emotions were still running wild inside him.

When he was able to control his emotions, he croaked her name.

"Mary?"

When she didn't answer, he pulled up to look at her. She was fast asleep with a small smile on her face. Ryker couldn't help but chuckle a little. She looks thoroughly satisfied.

He pushed off her knowing full well that his weight would suffocate her. Walking to the bathroom, he grabbed a clean, wet cloth to clean her up. She didn't bother waking up while he wiped her down.

When he finished, he pulled back to look at her. She turned and curled up into a fetal position. He could still see the part of her breasts and all of her nakedness.

Ryker pulled his silk covers to cover her body. Then he walked to the bathroom to clean up. He took a quick shower again before crawling into bed next to her.

When she moved, he thought he had woke her but that wasn't the case. She shifted her position so that she was snuggled up to his side and his arm was around her.

It felt right. Mary being in his arms.

He settled back onto his pillow and closed his eyes. Oddly enough, he fell asleep soon after. Not once did he wake up.

When he woke up though, he found that he was alone in bed. The streaming daylight from his bedroom window told him it was morning.

He got up to sit on the edge of the bed but halted his actions when he heard the shower turned off. A few minutes later, Mary stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her torso.

"Hope you are okay that I am using one of their towels. I woke up late and I have work in an hour."

He didn't answer her but continue to look at her naked body. Last night he could only catch glimpse of her body in the dark. Now, he could see it clearly.

Mary bent down to pick up her shirt and pants. Although she took a shower, Ryker can still smell bits of his scents on her. It made him rock hard again.

When Mary stood up, her eyes immediately found the hard length between his legs.

"I have work," she stated weakly.

He stood up and sauntered toward her like a predator.

"In an hour," Ryker replied.

He turned her around, pushed her torso down so that her hands were propped on the bed, and pulled the towel away from her body. It fell to the floor.

Ryker wasted no time. He plunged his length inside her once again from behind. She cried out in pleasure. His hands moved to her waist as he continued a fast but hard pace.

When they were done, Mary was sweaty and her skin stained with his scent.

She had no time in showering again. So she cleaned up quick and ran out of his home. She had to rush home to change before running to work. She made it a good thirty minutes late and the place was already busy with their customers.

Pushing all thoughts of last night and Ryker away, Mary focused her attention on her work.
