“It’s a big deal,” Meg adds, and I’m so damn proud of my man, I let go of his hand and loop my arms around him.
“I’m proud of you.”
He kisses the top of my head. “I’ll tell you more later.”
“I’ll hold you to that.”
“We have to go welcome everyone,” Meg says and smiles at me. “It’s really nice to meet you.”
“Same here. Thanks for doing this. I love it.”
Ry and I stay standing where we are as Will and Meg take the little stage and Will reaches for the microphone.
“Hello, everyone,” he says, catching the crowd’s attention. “I wanted to take a moment before dinner starts to say thank you for being here, and for supporting our Foundation for Foster Kids. We sold every single ticket for this party, and I know it’s not because I’m pretty to look at.”
That gets him some laughs.
“I know you’re here for Sid, and we’ll bring her out in a bit. The ten million dollars that we raised here tonight is going to go a long way toward making some kids’ lives better. For that, I am deeply grateful. Now, before we go, I wanted to quickly introduce you to my new cochair of the organization, Ryker James.”
Everyone turns to look at Ry, who smiles and gives them a wave. He kisses my temple and then joins Will on the stage.
“Thank you,” he says. “I’m proud to be here. I know what it feels like to be a kid without any options, and if I didn’t have the adoptive parents who took me in when they did, I likely wouldn’t be here, at this fancy party, hanging out with the likes of all of you.”
I swallow hard and brush a tear aside.
“So it’s an honor to help this organization in any way I can. And yes, we raised ten million dollars tonight, but we’re always taking donations.”
He winks as everyone laughs, and then steps aside, and Will takes over again.
“Have fun tonight, everyone,” Will says, and then Ryker is back at my side.
“We have so much to talk about later,” I say to him before cupping his cheek and kissing him sweetly. “You’re incredible.”
He just smiles, and we go back to mingling.
I can’t believe it, but as time passes, I actually loosen up. Even though I’m surrounded by movie stars and elite athletes and celebrities that I never thought in a million years I’d ever be in a room with.
Is that Vaughn Barrymore, the actor?
Holy shit.
Dinner is delicious, and then I really need to find a restroom.
“I’ll be back,” I say to Ry, who frowns down at me.
“Where are you off to, Trouble?”
“Restroom.”
“I’ll go with you.”
I shake my head at him. “I’m fine.”
“I’m not.” He holds my hand and asks for directions, and then he’s tugging me inside the house, and we find the powder room that guests are welcome to use.
“I’ll be right out.”
I’ve just washed my hands and am drying them when the door opens. Ry slips in and then shuts and locks it behind him.
“I don’t want to watch you pee, Ry.”
His lips quirk up, and then he gestures to my clutch. “Do you have lipstick in there?”
“Sure, I—”
But I can’t get another word out because his lips are on mine, and my back is against the wall.
“I want my hands in your hair,” he murmurs against me, “but I won’t mess you up. Everything else is fair game. Got it?”
“Christ, Ry, everyone is right there.”
“Then you’d better be quiet. Can you do that for me? Can you be a good fucking girl and stay quiet while I fuck you like I own you in here?”
Holy shit.
“Ry.”
He grips my face and makes me look at him. “Answer me.”
“Uh, yeah. I can stay quiet.”
He brushes his lips over mine. “Good. You’re so fucking incredible, Wills. Out there talking with those people like you were born for it, your sexy-as-fuck voice seducing me all damn night as you walk around in this dress, with those shoes.”
“You bought them,” I remind him, and he grins against my skin as he kisses down my neck.
“And I’m damn proud of myself for it.” He reaches under the hem of my dress and works my underwear down my legs, brings them up to his nose and breathes in deep. “These are already wet.”
I can’t even reply. This might be the sexiest moment of my life.
Ryker unfastens his pants and pulls his already-hard cock out, then picks me up, braces me against the wall, and plunges right inside me.
“I’d love to get on my knees and eat you,” he growls against my lips. “To worship you the way you should be right now, but we don’t have time, and if I don’t feel your sweet little pussy wrapped around me, I might go out of my mind.”
I tip my head forward and bite his shoulder, trying to keep my screams inside.
