nodded at him while
he picked up her fork and handed it to her. “Ryland had a locksmith come by and
fix the door he’d broken. He said that you can make him feel better by putting
in a better security system.”
“I don’t have a security system at all,
and I think he knows that.” He laughed. “Did you tell him I don’t need a
sitter? That I know what I’m doing?”
“I think he figured that out today. You
impressed him and the rest of my family by what you managed to accomplish
today. He said he’d have you work for him if he wasn’t afraid of you murdering
him in his office one day.” He took her fork and cut off a piece of…it smelled
like curry chicken…and put it in her mouth. It was definitely curry chicken,
and she moaned as the taste exploded in her mouth.
His own fork stilled halfway to his
mouth, and he turned to her slowly. “Do you have any idea how many times I’ve
wanted to find you and take you to the floor until you screamed my name?”
“No. I thought you were too busy for
that.” He shook his head and slid his hand along her thigh. “Stop that. Your
family is right here.”
He leaned in and nipped at her ear lobe,
and she felt as if he’d set her on fire. “I know where they are and where I’d
like for us to be as well. I want to take you home and do all the things I didn’t
get to do to you last night or this morning.”
He’d done a great many things to her
last night, some of which had required some of his ties and a large feather
he’d taken from the duster. She’d never been tied up before and had never come
so hard in her life when he’d used the feather over her clit and nipples. When
she shivered, he grinned at her and told her to eat.
“I would like to speak to you. Now, if
you wouldn’t mind.” She looked up at Ryland when he sat down next to her. Her
entire body was on fire and he wanted to speak to her? Not if he wanted it to
be something that was coherent.
Neal moved away and sat near his mom.
She figured that whatever Ryland had to say to her was private, and she
wondered if this was where he forbade her to see Neal again. She didn’t know
why that hurt so much, but it did. So before he could tell her that she had to back
off, she decided she’d do it for him.
“I didn’t want this in the first place.
I told him to stay away, but like all men, you figure you know what’s best for
us poor helpless females. Well, I don’t care what you say about us not being
together, so you can just fuck the hell off.” He looked at her oddly, then
threw back his head and laughed. She was so confused that she stood up to leave
him to his unexpected mirth.
“Sit down, Rayne, and let me tell you
the real reason I’m here. And by the way, have you met my wife? Does she strike
you as someone who would let me even for a minute treat her like she was poor
or helpless?” She sat down, and he nodded. “That was a really good one. What
did you plan to do? Storm out and have me face the wrath of everyone in this
room alone?”
She shook her head. “I thought you were
here to tell me to stay away from your family and that, I don’t know, I wasn’t
good enough for Neal. I don’t understand you people.”
“Good, because, honey, we don’t
understand you either. But as for you not being good enough for Neal? That’s
not even close to the truth. You’re everything he needs and then some.” He
laughed again. “You didn’t really think I came here to tell you to fuck off,
did you?”
“Yes.” He laughed again. “I really don’t
get you. You have all the money in the world, and yet you all came in and
helped me today when…granted, most of it was your fault anyway, but you could
have let me fail. I thought about it a lot today, and I don’t understand why
you did it. For me.”
“You’re family now, and we help each
other. And it wasn’t just for you but for Neal as well. He would have felt as
if he failed you had today not worked out, even though I’d
