Bree woke up late, in a super comfy bed that was definitely too big to be hers, strong, sure and safe arms cuddling her against the warm and very naked torso of a man..........all skin and no clothes. It took her a minute to recollect how she'd gotten here and whose, these hands were. Ryder...... She'd thought last night was a dream, but apparently it wasn't and he was really here or maybe she was the one that's really here because this is his house. The events of last night seeped into her mind in sequence, starting from her thrill at being all dolled up and going for her first billionaire studded ball, to meeting the one man on Earth she never thought she'd set her eyes on ever again in this life time. Fast forward to the scene with her enraged boss and the slap she'd taken to her face that still somehow stung a little this morning. It wasn't the best night of her life and real shit had gone down but she had it to thank for this mome

The rest of the morning after breakfast passed in a quick blur, so much that it saddened Bree how fast time was flying. Her life have truly been in just three phases, she realised, before Ryder, with him and after him and personally, that mid phase was her favorite - like right now. This is probably what happens when you fall in love with someone, hopefully, he loves her just as much and meant his promise that he wasn't going anywhere from now on. They've had their ups and downs and honestly she was done with the downs for now and hopefully there'd be none of that anytime soon. They had their beautiful moments, but Bree was well aware that Ryder has been walking on eggshells with her. He probably didn't intend for her to notice but every now and again he slips and she notices. It wasn't something she appreciated honestly, she wanted the good old days back when they didn't have to watch what they did and said around eachother but she also understood that it'd take some time to bui

The car ride back to Bree's place was quiet and rather too tense for Bree's liking but there was nothing she could do about it.   The problem wasn't one she had any solution to at the moment and Ryder was just sulking and not necessarily beefing with her about it so it wasn't really a biggie.   Even the man knew it can't be helped and this was for the best, he'd called the shots and she'd agreed and his suggestion had never even been in the books for her - yes, moving in with Ryder hadn't.   This was a chance encounter, a chance that should be treated so carefully so they don't fuck it up like they did the last time.   How long can a couple weeks be anyways, they'd done months before this and look, they both survived it.   Bree had her own fears about this whole situation to start with.   It scared her to consider that she was moving too fast with him after e

The first thing that came to Ryder's mind at the ringing of his phone on the nightstand at exactly forty five minutes past two in the morning the baby.   Especially since it was Bree's name splashed across his screen while the device wailed him awake from sleep.   He cursed as he swiped across his screen to take the call, his heart beating him to death.   It'd kill him if anything happened to any of the two most important people to him even though he was yet to meet one of them.   There's no manual for this first time dad thingy and he was doing his best even if that involves the constant paranoia that's taken permanent residence in his head.   "Baby girl..." He said into the phone with a calming, tentative voice that his the panic and turmoil building in the pit of his belly, hoping for the best but unconsciously expecting the worst.   It did come, the latte

His scent, the warmth of his body behind hers, and the sure safety of his arms wrapped around her, these were the things that had finally cuddled Bree back to sleep, even though she'd dreamt about tonight while at it and had woken up again in a fright. It had been there, l the constant fear that it could all somehow repeat itself and this time she'd be conscious watching it, the loath, the disgust..... But sometime, much later in the morning, she'd succumbed to the beckoning arms of oblivion and had fallen asleep again, amd this time she'd had a long dreamless sleep that had lasted hours. She woke up much later to an empty, cold space next to her in the bed and a text from Rider that was checking to see that she was fine and not still traumatized from what had happened last night. She missed him almost immediately, it was like her morning had gone sour and lost its colors after she realised he was gone, but then again he had to work and she understood. It was just that she'd hope
