harshly. Backing her up, Ryker grabbed Josie’s thighs and picked her up, sitting her on the counter by the sink. He yanked her hips toward him, and her hot wet heat pressed against his jean covered cock. Snarling Ryker leaned down and captured one of her nipples in his mouth. Sucking hard, he pushed his rock hard erection against her again and again. He needed inside her now.
Reaching between them, Josie undid the buckle on his belt. “Oh God,” she moaned as Ryker switched over to the other breast, sucking and nipping at the nipple. After undoing the button on his jeans, she slowly slid the zipper down. Ryker held her away from him so she could push the jeans down and then immediately pushed back against her when they were out of the way. His long, thick length strained against her hot, slick opening. Leaning back, he demanded, “Look at me.” Ryker stilled until Josie stopped moving and locked her eyes with his. “Tell me you want this,” he growled. “Tell me you are ready for this. We don’t know each other Josie. We have never met before tonight. Tell me you are not going to regret this later when I am gone.”
He prayed she would say yes. Say that she wanted this as badly as he did. But he refused to take her without her verbal permission. Josie leaned her head back against the mirror above the counter, panting loudly. Running a hand through his thick, dark curls she whispered, “You are mine, Ryker. I am yours. Whether we claim each other tonight, next week or next month, that isn’t going to change. I want you now. I want you inside of me. I need you.”
That was all Ryker needed to hear. Holding her firmly by the hips, he leaned down and captured her mouth with his. Biting her lip, he tilted her hips and pushed his hard, straining cock deep inside her. As he began to move, he growled, “Mine. Mine.” Pulling out, he pushed into her again and again. He wanted this. He wanted to spill inside his mate, biting her and bonding them together. Suddenly Josie rose up, wrapping her arms around him and Ryker felt her teeth sink deep into his shoulder. Letting out a roar, he let himself go, slamming into her faster and harder. As he came, Ryker bit into her shoulder, claiming her for the world to see.
When Ryker released Josie’s shoulder, he raised his head and looked into her eyes. He could get lost in her amazing, deep brown eyes. Lifting a hand, he traced a finger down her temple, over her cheekbone, stopping on her kiss swollen lips. “I don’t want to leave you,” he confessed as he leaned forward to kiss her again.
A tear slipped down her cheek as she whispered, “I don’t want you to leave.” Gathering her in his arms, Ryker took Josie over to the waiting bathtub and slowly lowered her into it. Turning the water back on, he grabbed a sponge that sat on the side of the tub. After pouring some bath soap on it, he gently rubbed the sponge over her skin. Starting with Josie’s arms, he moved down her breasts and over her stomach. Lifting each sexy, silky-smooth leg out of the water, he washed them both before moving on to her back. When he had touched every inch of her body with the sponge, Ryker urged her up out of the water and quickly dried her off. He had taken up too much time, and wanted to tuck her into bed before he left. Wrapping her in a dry towel, he lifted her up in his arms and made his way to her bedroom. Sitting Josie on the bed, he found her warm fleece pajamas in a drawer where she said they were and helped her into them.
Pulling back the covers, Ryker waited until Josie slid into bed, then he pulled the covers around her, tucking her in. “I have to go,” he told her. “I don’t want to, but Storm should have news by now and we need to get on the road.”
Nodding, Josie clasped one of his large hands in hers, placing a kiss on his scarred knuckle. “Go,” she urged with a
