Raine on Me (24 page)
“Okay.” Brit watched him, feeling a little confused. “Am I supposed to say something or ask a certain question to prompt you?”
“No.” He looked away, glanced at the clock on the bedside table, and then sighed.
“He’s running later than I thought he would.”
“Who?” Her body tensed.
A knock sounded on the door, making her jump. River rose to his feet and set down the feather and the small silver vibrator on the edge of the bed. He took a few steps, bent, and straightened, holding his discarded shirt. He faced her, leaned across the bed, and dropped his shirt over her breasts to her thighs, covering her enough to barely be modest.
“Hang on.”
“Don’t open the door,” she whispered. “Or let me go first.” Her head lifted, staring down at her body, realizing anyone standing in the hallway would see the vulnerable, displayed position of her mostly still-bared body. “River!”
He ignored her and threw open the door. “It’s about damn time.”
Ryder stepped into the bedroom, grinning when his dark gaze landed on Brit on the bed. “I see you took my advice about chaining her up.”
River held out his hand. “Did you get it?”
“Yeah and a speeding ticket to go with it. You’re paying that.”
“Fine. Hand it over.”
Ryder chuckled. “Need any help convincing her?”
“Eyes on me, damn it,” River nearly growled. “Touch her and I break any part of you that does.”
Ryder’s grin widened, reaching into his back pocket, and removed something he dropped into his brother’s hand. He finally stopped staring at Brit to look at his brother.
“Good luck.”
Ryder turned and left the room. “I still think you should let me help you convi―”
River slammed the door shut, muffling the rest of what his brother said, and turned to face Brit. He paused and then approached her slowly. “What? Did you think that was what I wanted to ask you? To let my brother touch you?”
For a split second she had. It had been an unpleasant moment. She said nothing, just gazed up at him.
13“It will never happen.” He put his knee on the bed, reached out with his free hand and jerked the shirt off her to expose every inch of her to his view again. “I asked him to go buy something for me.”
She darted a glance to his closed fist. “What is it?”
“It’s about that choice you need to make.”
He lifted his leg over the chain and her leg, moving to sit between her spread thighs. He picked up the vibrator, made sure to allow her to see it, and then turned it on. It hummed to life and Brit gasped when he pressed it against her clit without warning. Pleasure strummed from it straight to her brain. Her body tensed, her hands wrapping around the chains that secured the handcuffs to his bedposts.
“Oh God.”
“You’re so damn sexy,” River murmured.
He rubbed her swelling clit with the small but strong vibrator in circular patterns until sweat beaded her body and she knew she was about to come hard. He removed the vibrator, set it on the mattress, and slid one arm under her back as he bent forward, shifting until he lifted her ass up onto his thighs. His cock pressed against her pussy and he entered her slowly.
“River!”
Her gaze met his, holding it, seeing pure emotion in his eyes and passion that she knew matched her own. A loud moan tore from her parted lips as he pushed into her more, stretching her with ecstasy as her vaginal walls clenched around him in desperate need to find release.
“We’re a perfect fit, aren’t we, Brit?”
She nodded and tried to wiggle to move but the chains held her in place. “I need you.”
“I need you too.” He withdrew a little and then started to fuck her slowly. “So damn much.”
“Faster,” she urged.
His hips stilled. “Brit?”
She couldn’t look away from him. “Why did you stop?”
“I wanted your full attention.”
“You’ve got that.”
“Will you marry me?”
Surprise was too mild a word to describe the flash of emotion that had her forgetting to breathe.
“Don’t make me get the feather, baby. I’ll tickle you until you say yes.” He moved his hips, driving into her deep. “I’m not above fucking you until you agree to it either.”
He froze there, keeping them joined. He opened his fisted hand and gripped something 13small between the finger and thumb with his other hand. “We’ll pick out an engagement ring together, something to your tastes, but this is universal.”
Brit gawked at the gold wedding band he displayed for her. Her eyes flew from it to his face. She’d never expected him to propose.
“I don’t want to just live with you. I want it all. Marriage. A house. Hell, a dog.” He paused. “I love you.”
Brit’s heart swelled almost painfully while she stared into his handsome face. He offered her everything she could possibly want, something she’d always dreamed about―a man who knew how to love her and whom she loved back with her entire being. She hadn’t known him long enough to make that serious a decision, he wasn’t the ideal type she’d always thought she’d end up with, but no one had ever made her happier in her entire life.
“Yes,” she breathed. “I love you too.”
“Hot damn,” River laughed. He carefully put the ring beside the feather on the edge of the bed, and then crouched over her, keeping their bodies linked the entire time.
“You won’t regret it.”
“Undo the cuffs. I want to touch you.”
“Not yet. I promised to make you come if you said yes.”
He moved then—fast, hard, driving in and out of her. All thought left as ecstasy took over. His hips shifted slightly and Brit screamed out as River slid his hands between their bodies, pressing the bullet vibrator against her clit. It was the last little bite of pleasure that she needed to send her over the edge. She shook with the intensity of the climax. She heard River yell out as he found his own release.
* * * * *
River turned off the vibrator and tossed it behind him, not caring where it went. His gaze fixed on the woman spread out on his bed. Her eyes opened and the look in them made him suck in air. He loved Brit. She had to be the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen in the aftermath of hot, sweaty sex. It was the way she looked at him too, he admitted. She made him feel complete and as if he had become the center of her universe.
“You can let me go,” she panted. “I want to touch you.”
The grin came easy, pure happiness pouring through his entire body. “I’m not done with you yet.”
“Really?” Her tongue darted out to wet her lips.
Watching her do that hardened his cock again inside her hot, tight, welcoming body. He remembered the feel of that mouth wrapped around his cock. Brit felt like pure heaven to him in every way she touched him.
13He chuckled. “I just want to keep you chained to my bed, under me.” He lowered his body over hers, careful to make sure she could breathe easily, and then stared at her mouth, inches from his own. “This is going to be our favorite pastime.”
Amusement sparked in her incredible eyes. “I can believe that.”
He adjusted his arms on the bed to free up his hand, bracing his upper body weight to his elbows. His fingers traced her cheekbone and then down to her chin, watching the movement until his gaze met hers.
“I love you. I never thought I’d feel this way, sure it would terrify me if I ever got totally wrapped up in a woman, but I’m just too damn happy to worry about it.”
“River, I love you too.” She shook her arms, the chains making a slight sound. “You might be wrapped up in me but I’m the one tied down.”
Throwing back his head, River laughed. He grinned and met her gaze. “Damn straight. Your days of running are over. I’ve got a new endearment to call you now.”
“I’m almost afraid to ask.” Brit laughed. “Okay. What is it? I’m feeling brave.”
His lips lowered and brushed lightly across hers. He stared deeply into her eyes.
“My everything.”
Tears welled in Brit’s eyes and her lips parted. “I love that one nearly as much as I love you.”

About the Author
I’m a full time “in-house supervisor” (sounds
much
better than plain ol’ housewife), mother and writer. I’m addicted to caramel iced coffee, the occasional candy bar (or two) and trying to get at least five hours of sleep at night.
I love to write all kinds of stories. I think the best part about writing is the fact that real life is always uncertain, always tossing things at us that we have no control over, but when your write, you can make sure there’s always a happy ending. I
love
that about writing. I love it when I sit down at my computer desk and put on my headphones to listen to loud music to block out the world around me, so I can create worlds in front of me.
