RYDER;

“Fuck,” I growled.

I paced the wide bedroom like a caged animal trying to break free, my long legs covering the space in three angry steps before I spun around again.

The floor creaked under my weight. My blood was still hot from dinner. I had forced myself to sit there the whole time, acting calm, acting like I wasn’t losing my fucking mind. But I was, and sitting right across from her was worsening it all.

Ashley was changing right in front of me.

She used to flinch when I lo

    ASHLEY; I shouldn’t have come. Mom would be there, I had watched her as she slipped into the passenger seat of the car holding up his helmet, while Ryder took the driver's seat. Vanessa surprises me every darn time. How does she do it? Tugging on a boy that young? Ryder looked a lot bigger, more muscular, and broader for his age. He could easily pass for a man in his mid-thirties, but it didn't change his age. “Run.” My mind said. I was battling it, for years I had always hidden away, run from everyone and everything, but what had it gotten me, maybe just mean words from Ryder and the likes of him. The words repeated in my head like a warning I refused to heed as I sat high in the stands, hood pulled low over my face. The arena was loud, electric, packed with screaming students and proud parents. But all I could focus on was him, even when I knew Mom was a few feet away from me. Ryder Knight tore across the ice like he owned it. Every stride was powerful, every check brutal,

    RYDER; “Fuck,” I growled. I paced the wide bedroom like a caged animal trying to break free, my long legs covering the space in three angry steps before I spun around again. The floor creaked under my weight. My blood was still hot from dinner. I had forced myself to sit there the whole time, acting calm, acting like I wasn’t losing my fucking mind. But I was, and sitting right across from her was worsening it all. Ashley was changing right in front of me. She used to flinch when I looked at her. Tonight she held my stare longer than she ever had. Mason was a bad influence, all thanks to her my little Ashley was starting to learn her worth. Her chin lifted just a little. Her soft green eyes carried a new spark, the type that clearly states she was done cowering, and that both pissed me off and turned me on in ways I hated. But the necklace was what really fucked me up. It had no business being in her hands, or around her neck. I stopped pacing and dragged my hand rough

  • FALLING FOR MR. FORBIDDEN: MY MOTHER’S HOT HUSBAND   CHAPTER 007: BREAKING HIM

    ASHLEY;I stood there, stunned, my hand still hovering near the pendant on my neck. The words stuck in my throat as I tried to explain. “I… I,” I stuttered, pointing backward toward the hallway that led to my bedroom. But before I could say something else, Ryder moved. He almost pushed down a porcelain bowl on the long wooden dining table, his broad body brushing against it roughly. In three quick steps, he stood right in front of me, his thick hand circling my tinier one as he pulled me up the staircase. Each step he took made me practically run after him, my feet stumbling to keep up.“You’re… hurting me,” I cried low, my voice barely above a whisper. I didn’t know why I kept my voice that low, but I had made a mental note since he whispered his words too. His grip was firm, warm, but tight enough that I could feel my pulse beating against his fingers.He paused right beside my bedroom door, the hallway light shining above us like a spotlight. He yanked me free, letting go of my w

    ASHLEY;I stood before the tall mirror in my bedroom, turning slowly from side to side. The cream dress hugged just under my breasts, showing off some curvy features I wondered where they came from. It flared gently down, stopping right before my knees. It felt soft against my skin, the fabric swishing lightly with every small movement. I wasn’t sure if I looked overdressed for dinner or too good to be sitting across from the devil himself. But after those strict rules he barked at me this afternoon, I had spent hours in my room drawing maps and plans in my head on how to break every single one of them.“Dinner is at seven!” His voice had been sharp and commanding, echoing down the hallway like he owned every corner of this house. Unfortunately, he did.I remembered the way my hands had tightened into fists at my sides when he said it. Now here I was, trying to look calm while my mind raced with ways to push back.I ran my fingers over the dress again. Irene had given it to me as a

    “You called,” Ashley answered, pushing the door to the study open, her fist tightening hard against the thick frame of the door, steadying herself with it. Ryder sat still, eyes hooded, a pen flickering in his palm. The look in his eyes was fierce, not entirely new, but Ashley knew there was more to this stern look. Just last night, she had disobeyed him. Mason had offered a half-filled bottle of amber drink to her, and she lifted the bottle at intervals, gulping down the contents till she no longer felt her head. Ryder had found her where Mason was almost pressing against her, and quite unlike him, he carried her up to her bedroom. Now that she stood before him in the study, trying to act like she knew nothing about what this impromptu meeting between just the two of them was about, she knew it all. The silence lingered, just the cracking sound of a pen hitting his turgid palm. Ashley moved her eyes around, the last time she sneaked in here, she wasn't lucky enough to take

    The days in the mansion had started to blur together, but school remained its own kind of battlefield. Ashley sat on the bleachers during her free period, pretending to read a book while her eyes kept drifting to the training below, Ryder dominated the practice like he dominated everything else in his life. He moved with grace, powerful thighs pushing him across the ice in explosive bursts, his hockey jersey clung to his broad shoulders and back, damp with sweat, every time he slammed into an opponent during drills, the sound echoed through the arena. His body was pure power, muscles flexing, jaw tight with focus and she couldn’t look away, the way his strong hands gripped the stick, the way his hips shifted as he turned sharply He was her stepfather now, she kept reminding herself of that but her wolf didn’t care it watched him with hungry interest, drawn to the raw Alpha energy he gave off even from a distance. It was best to leave the area, to stay away from the temptation
