I open the first aid kit box under Ryder's watchful eyes as he sits on the edge of the bed studying me intently. He was seated patiently on the edge of my bed in his jeans without a shirt on. I made sure that I got him a towel to dry off when I came back, but I can still droplets of water glistening on his chest and it was killing me to not be able to touch them. I walk up to him and stand between his legs and tilt his face up to assess the damage.

He is painfully handsome - those are the only words to describe him. Nothing like Dylan who had classic features, but he was rugged and sexy. He had super long eyelashes which could make any girl envious and his eyes were a dark warm chocolate brown. I cant believe that just twenty fours hours ago I wanted to be the one who inflicted the injuries on his face, but right now I was cursing whoever did this to his beautiful face. I take cotton with antiseptic and slowly press it down on the corner of his lip. He doesn't even flinch although I know it must be hurting really bad.

He stares at me while I continue working on his face gently and then smiles at me "You look gorgeous, especially these freckles" he brings his finger up and slowly caresses them.

I blush and smile at him while I continue with applying a bandage to a small cut on his forehead"No, I don't look beautiful right now Ryder, I have absolutely no makeup on and I look like a nightmare, you don't have to be nice"

He frowns "Who said you need makeup to look beautiful, you look absolutely gorgeous now, in fact, I like you better without any makeup on your face and your hair all messy" he pauses and then continues a mischievous look in his eyes "especially in my hoodie and I know your not wearing a bra which makes it better because I know my hoodie is doing what I haven't been able to do yet which is caressing your breasts" he smirks.

I roll my eyes "Do you ever not think about sex Ryder?"

''Nope,'' he pops his lips. "I think you think about it as well, considering how I can see your nipples poking out now. I wish I could taste them?'' he groans and slowly puts his hands on my thighs pulling me closer.

"Stop" I admonish him and playfully slap his chest and then check his face inspecting my work. "There all done, all better" I look at his face and smile at him ignoring his questions, no one has ever spoken to me before like this, and I honestly did not know what to say to it. I was internally cursing my body for betraying me as I feel warmth pooling in between my legs as he continues to study me.

He slowly leans back and lies down on the bed watching me still as I step out from between his legs "I like you like this, naturally gorgeous, its sort of like a preview to what you'd look like if we have sex, although you'll have a hundred hickies on your neck and you'll probably not be able to walk for a week" he smirks.

I shake my head wondering if this was all this boy thought of and put the first aid kit away "Are you hungry?"

He smirks at me and I groan "Not for that Ryder, for food, we have some pasta in the fridge I just checked when I went to get the kit. I'll get you a plate"

He smirks at me suggestively "Only if you feed me, my hands are a bit raw from all the fighting"

I stop myself from asking him what happened because I knew he didn't want to talk about it and also because I did not want him to go back into his shell, I liked how comfortable and normal we were around each other right now. "Come on" I extend my hand out to him and he takes it. We walk down the stairs to the kitchen and I busy myself heating the pasta onto one plate since I was going to feed him anyway.

I walk out of the kitchen and find him looking at the photos which Mum had hung up on the wall. He was staring at a photo of mum "You look so much like her, although your eyes are from your dad" he points to another photo of dad and mum staring into the camera almost frigid, fake smiles on both their faces.

"Yea, I guess so" I shrug and he looks at me curiously." I can sense some discomfort, do you not like her or is it him?" he wonders.

I roll my eyes not wanting to start this conversation and pull him with my free hand and push him on the sofa " Frisky, I like' he smiles. I turn the TV on and sit next to him feeding him while I watch some horrible show on TV.

I could feel him staring at me the whole time that I fed him and I turned back to him once we were done eating after I place the plate on the table" Why do you keep staring Ryder?'' I laugh at him.

He doesn't laugh back but reaches out his finger and traces patterns on my neck which makes me almost moan but I stop myself

"Because you are so fucking gorgeous like this, and I like seeing a side of you that I don't think a lot of people see"

I look at him speechless and I didn't know what to say so I just close my eyes enjoying the feeling of his fingers playing with my neck.

I open my eyes and stare at him wondering if we would ever kiss me "Ryder" I look directly into his eyes, this was my moment of truth " Why won't you kiss me? , I mean all night there have been all these moments but.. is..is there something wrong with me? I mean I know I'm not your type..but" I faltered.

He reaches out and pulls me onto his lap so that I was sitting sideways with my butt on his lap and my legs stretched out on the sofa his arms encircled around my waist.

"Trust me when I tell you, your my type" he whispers into my neck. "Cant you feel what you're doing to me" he pushes himself up so I can feel his hard-on and I blush. I start wriggling a bit because I wasn't sure if I was hurting him. "Stop stop " he groaned out and I froze " Sorry I was trying to make sure you were comfortable" I mumble.

He laughs "Princess the only way you're going to put me out of my misery if you let me fuck your tight wet pussy with my dick "

I blush even redder, my face on fire. He leans forward and touches his forehead to mine "But I have a feeling you don't want that right now, am I correct?'' I look at his face and bite my lip wondering what to say. Emotionally no I wasn't too sure but physically I would do anything to put myself out of this discomfort if it meant riding him or whatever he said.

He slowly pulls my lip out of my teeth's grasp. "Doesn't matter what you say, I know you're not ready, which is why I am not kissing you because if I kiss you, I know I'm going to fucking love it so much that I won't stop until your under me on the bright pink bed with my dick filling you".

I frown"It doesn't have to end up there?"

Ryder groans " Yes it will princess, because once I taste these lips properly'' he leans forward and touches my lower lip with the tip of his tongue making me gasp ''then I'll want to taste and suck on these beautiful nipples. He uses his finger to lightly graze over my buds which were painfully stiff now and then I'll want to taste the nectar between your legs'' he traces his finger down under the hoodie and presses it against the warmth between my legs through my shorts. I stare at him my mouth open, a hundred emotions running through me, my body on fire, this was the first time someone had touched me so intimately and my body was aching for him. I watch mesmerized as he continues

"And then ill want you to have a little taste of this" he picks my hand up and places it on the bulge on his pants " and then I'll want to bury my dick into your warm wet pussy...and I won't stop until you and I are fully sated'' I stare at him in a trance still when he groans and picks me up and puts me on the sofa. He stands up away from me adjusting himself down there while he closes his eyes. knew he was mentally calming himself. I close my eyes trying out what he was doing to stop the ache in between my legs.

After about ten seconds he turned around to me and smiled sadly "Princess, you know this can't happen" he pointed to me and then himself

I didn't respond although I wanted to ask him why I was scared of the response.

"Are you going to be leaving tonight? " I ask him in a non-committal tone although I was wishing and praying that he would stay.

He looked at me suspiciously "Do you want me to go?"

"No, I mean I don't mind, just that Bryan said to call him if you needed a ride so I was wondering"

He tilted his head looking at me curiously "When is your mum back again? "

"Umm 10:am tomorrow" He walks towards me " And you want me to leave you here alone all night?"

I shrugged my shoulders and look down at my nails "It wouldn't be the first time"

He looked like he wanted to ask more but he stopped and reached down and picked me up in his arms bridal style "Well, not tonight, let me take you to bed princess" he carried me the whole way up to my room and the only thing I could hear was his and my heartbeat in sync. I don't know what tomorrow holds in store for us but at this point, I didn't want to think about it.

He walks into my room and kicks the door shut and then places me on the bed. I move in and get comfortable under the covers. He pulls his jeans off which left him in his boxers and I blush.

He smiles at me "So cute princess" he crawls into the bed and hits the lights off and pulls me into his body, he sneaks his hand under my hoodie and places it on my stomach.

My eyes drooped but I was pretty certain that I heard him whisper " What are you doing to me princess?'' before I knock out
