Chapter 6: Our Home

Ryder just shook his head, leading me up to the fifth floor. The fifth floor was incredible. It was like a house without walls.

There was a kitchen area to the right and couches with an entertainment area to the left. Past the couches was a huge bed with a black duvee cover and a door to the right behind the kitchen that I imagine to be the bathroom. It was huge and surprisingly clean.

I felt Ryder's arms go around my waist, his chin on my shoulder. "Do you like it?" He whispered in my ear.

"No." I felt him freeze. "I love it." He let out a deep breath and I giggled.

"That was cruel you know." He teased, pulling me into the room. "This is where we'll live."

I looked around again with a smile on my face. It really is perfect. "So this is your room?" My voice was playful and he smirked.

Ryder scooped me up before setting me back down on the bed. "It was. Now it's OUR room." Our room.

His hot breath fanned my face and slowly his finger tips brushed back a curl from my face.

He began to stand up, but my fingers wove into his hair, stopping him. Surprise registered on his face, but I knew I wanted him to kiss me. Smiling at him, he realized it too and smiled back.

His lips brushed mine gently as if asking again before they crashed onto my own.

My arms tightened around his neck and his one arm moved behind my lower back, lifting me to him, while the other was on the bed, supporting us.

He licked my bottom lip but I denied, making him growl in frustration. I bit his bottom lip softly making him hold me tighter to him before allowing him to deepen the kiss.

A minute later we came up for breath. "Wow." I'm not sure which of us said it, but I knew we were both thinking it.

Ryder cleared his throat and stood up before disappearing into his closet. He returned in a pair of flannel pants and a tee, with a set for me.

Taking the pants I changed in the closet, leaving my long sleeve shirt on. When I returned he was laying on his back under the covers. Looking up I noticed his eyes lighten a bit at the sight. Good to know.

I crawled into the huge bed. His arm dragged me closer to him until we were side by side. "If I had it my way you'd always wear my clothes." He teased.

Looking up at him, I started memorizing his features. The way his eyebrows arched slightly leading down to his slightly crooked nose and soft pink lips and his light stubble.

Looking back up at his eyes his hand slowly cupped my cheek, thumb brushing my bottom lip. "So beautiful." He whispered gently. I couldn't stop the single tear from falling.

His features dropped into a worried frown. "What's wrong?" His voice plead for an answer.

I took his hand in mine and buried my face in his chest a minute before finding the voice to speak. "Ryder, I've been alone, most of my life. I've lost" stoping I took a deep breath "everyone who ever meant anything to me. I don't want to go through that again." My voice didn't shake, luckily.

I watched his frown deepen before his arms encircled me in a protective embrace. "You will never lose me." Hearing those words I wrapped my arms around his broad figure.

"Thank you." I whispered into his chest.

Soon we both fell into a peaceful sleep.
