Paradise Bound (bxb)

Chapter 8

My senses bring me into a slightly awakened state and inhaling, I hum with a small smile. Ryder. I nuzzle further into the warmth, wanting to bury myself into the scent that is his. A light chuckle makes my eyes snap open. I notice that Ry has shimmied down, where my face is in the crook of his neck and an arm still wrapped around my waist while the other gets brought up to my hair. My eyes skimmed the area and noticed Jace was missing from the recliner, the tv silently playing in the background.

"Have a good nap?" he asks softly, running his fingers through my hair. I close my eyes again, relishing the good feeling of his fingers gently tracking against my scalp.

"Mhmm" I hummed. "Where's Jace?" I ask groggily.

"Upstairs with Sebastian" he answered back. I squirmed a little on top of him, grabbing my phone out of my pocket to see if I missed any messages or calls. Seeing none waiting to be looked at, I pressed on Amber's number to send her a text.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" I send quickly.

"Feeling okay, no more blood from what I can tell.....Sorry, that was probably gross...I'm just resting with Corrine in bed, she says hi btw" her reply was fast.

"I don't mind...That's good, tell her I say hello" I send back before pocketing my phone and resting fully against Ry again.

"How is she doing?" he asks. I look to see that he is watching 'The 100' on the tv.

"She said she's doing okay" I answered. I'm still very worried of course but there is really nothing Amber or I can do to actively help the situation. "I feel helpless not being able to help what's going on" I openly say my thoughts. Ryder moves his head to look me in the eyes.

"All you can do is hope for the best and be there for her" he said softly, kissing my temple.

"I know, just feels like it's not enough" I frown.

"I wish I could do something to make your worry go away"

"Thanks Ry" I give a small smile.

"You're one of my greatest friends, Matthew" he said with a returning smile. It made me think of what my mom had asked me yesterday.

"Is that all we are?" I asked curiously. He looked taken back.

"Uhh well, I'd hope not" he said with his eyebrows scrunched. "My asking to claim you was basically asking two questions in one. To mark you as mine and to BE mine....I should've clarified" he frowned.

"No, I should have gotten that....I'm not the smartest bulb on the tree" I said with a small chuckle.

He scoffed "Oh hush. You're smart, funny, loving, sarcastic, caring and an all over great guy. That's why I like you"

"It's not just for my astonishing good looks?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows making him laugh.

"Maybe at first" he teased

"Rude" I gasped.

"What? Just being truthful" he smiled "But then I got to know you and it became more. You know, I think of you as the kind of person who someone can look at when they are down and find happiness, hence why you're my sunflower. But, the looks are a plus though" he winked. Our eyes held an intense gaze.

"Why me?" I asked him.

"There was a feeling that told me you were genuine and not materialistic unlike my past friends or relationships. Though I doubted I could ever obtain your affection since you were happily taken" he said truthfully.

"You and your endless flirting were hard to ignore" I told him.

"And somewhere along the line, it somehow worked in my favor" he smirked

"That it did" I admitted, my gaze flicking to his lips. Without too much more thinking, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his soft ones. His hand in my hair stilled as he just held my head to his.

"Does that mean you agree to be my boyfriend?" He asked against my lips.

"Maybe" I murmured back between pecks.

"Maybe?" He scoffed pulling back "What can I do to make it a yes?"

"Let me mark you too" I grinned and he laughed.

"Well if that's all, go ahead sunflower. I like to claim just as much as I like to be claimed" he said, tilting his head to expose his neck for me and his hands moving to rest on my hips.

I leaned over and placed a small kiss on the corner of his lips and slowly trailed down to his neck. My lips kissed all around his exposed skin until I found the spot that got a small reaction out of him. It felt like a small victory finding a pleasure spot on him that made a small moan erupt.

Placing my lips on the spot, I began to suck on his soft skin with a mixture of small nips and soothing it with my tongue. My body quivered as his fingertips slipped underneath my shirt, trailing lightly on my skin. His tantalizing moans ran through my body straight to my d**k, making it harden every second that passed by. Seeking much needed friction, I ground my hips down on him.

Much to my and I'm sure his pleasure, he reciprocated by thrusting his hips up. We rutted against eachother, eliciting moans and groans from each other. It feels so good but at the same time it feels like not enough.

"Matthew" he moaned softly, fingers splaying across my back.

"Hmm?" I hummed, peppering kisses on the big red and purple mark I made. I grinned in satisfaction of my masterpiece on his neck.

"Can I suggest something?" He asked breathlessly. We paused our movements and I leaned back to look him in the eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"How would you feel about handjobs?"He asked hesitantly. I opened my mouth and then closed it, figuring out what to say. I mean, I'm not against it but it'd be the first time with a guy.

"Sorry! We don't have to, I just figured to get off better" he rushed out with a blush. It was adorable.

"No, no. I was just thinking about how it'd be the first time....I mean giving, recieving wouldn't be any different than from my past relationships....I just don't want to disappoint"I admittedly awkwardly and he grinned.

"Having the hand of my crush of the past seven months on my d**k would be satisfying enough in itself" he said with a smirk.

"Oh, so you're saying I don't have to do anything but put my hand on you?" I teased and he gave me a deadpan stare. I smiled "I'm kidding, I'm kidding" we both laughed while I leaned down to kiss his lips.

To get back in the mood, I ground my hips back down while swiping my tongue across his lip. He parted his lips, letting my tongue in to tangle his tongue with mine. His hands gripped my hips, pressing me down harder against him.

Pulling back, I nipped his lip and I could see the lust burning in his eyes. I bit my lip and scooted back, reaching for the button on his jeans. He let me unbutton and unzip them fully before he brought his hands to the front of my jeans to copy my actions.

Anticipation coursed through me as we both shimmied each other's boxers down to reveal our erections. My cheeks burned as he eyed mine hungrily.

His eyes flicked back up to mine "C'mere" he whispered. I leaned down and one of his hands cupped the back of my neck, pulling me to him capturing my lips in a fiery kiss. He pulled back and I stared, mesmerized as he brought his hand to his mouth and licked a stripe up his palm. Smart, some lubrication. All the women I dated would just stroke me dry before deciding to hop on. I felt his fingers glide gently against my skin before he encircled his hand around my d**k. I moaned softly at the contact.

With his hand starting a slow pump, I figured I should probably hop to and reciprocate the attention. It will be just like jerking yourself off Matt. It will be great and it will blow his mind. I mentally hyped myself up. I can do this.

I licked my palm quickly and blindly felt for his erection with my right hand before I wrapped my fingers around it. It was warm, soft yet hard. He hummed, which encouraged me to start moving my hand in time with his strokes. I leaned back down to connect our lips. It was sort of odd since I had to make sure we both had room to jerk off but it worked.

This was so much better than dry humping each other. Not that I would've complained if he didn't suggest doing this. I was content either way.

His lips left mine only to trail them down my chin and I tilted my head with his movements to let him access my neck better. He nibbled and licked the spot where his mark was. His hand sped up slightly.

"Ry" I moaned softly, thrusting my hips shallowly with his strokes.

"You're so sexy" his voice, husky in my ear. I shuddered and laid my forehead on his shoulder. I began adding a twist to my strokes on him. His moan was deliciously pleasing and encouraging to keep my hand going. I felt the familiar heat pool in the pit of my stomach.

"I can't wait to taste you" he whispered "but you know what I can't wait for even more?"

"What?" I asked breathlessly.

"I can't wait for this beautiful c**k to f**k me into oblivion" he said hotly with moan and that was the end for me. I bit into his shoulder, releasing a loud moan as I came.

My hand faltered but I recovered quickly in efforts to get him to c*m as well. His hips bucked as he pulled my lips to his. With a groan vibrating between our lips, I felt his warm seed flood on to my fingers. I pumped a few more times before slowing to a halt. We both breathed heavily as our kiss slowed as well.

I rested my forehead against his with the cheesiest grin.

"God that felt great" I told him and he laughed.

"Are you two done christening my couch" Dakota's voice sounded a few feet away from us. I plopped down to cover Ryder and I.

"Dakota" I groaned.

"Hey, you two keep doing s**t in MY house" he defended and I sent a glare his way.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything. I wouldn't intentionally watch you two f**k. You're like a little brother to me" he came over and ruffled my hair.

"And you're the big brother I never wanted" I retorted and he gasped.

"Matt, you wound me" he said with his hand on his chest with feigned hurt. "Anyway, hearing the s*x noises made me horny. Where's Jace and Seb?"

"Upstairs. Though you probably already missed them f*****g" Ryder chimed in.

"You underestimate how horny we make each other" he winked and I rolled my eyes as he trotted up the stairs. After the coast was clear, I got up and we both adjusted ourselves and went to the kitchen to wash our hands.

"Water?" I asked while walking to the fridge.

"Yeah, need to rehydrate" he said with a wink, making me laugh.

"That's worrisome. Are you going to die from thirst when we have s*x then?" I teased.

"Hardy har har" he said flatly. I pulled out two water bottles and gave him one with a grin.

A loud moan rang through the house. I shook my head.

"They are like bunnies, I swear" I said after taking a gulp of water. Ryder walked up to me with a smirk.

"You know, I could be your personally bunny" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"You'd have to invest in a water dispenser for your room then" I joked.

"That could be arranged" he said thoughtfully. I snorted and playfully shoved his shoulder.

"My parents want to meet you" I randomly thought out when we walked back into the living room. He had a confused look on his face.

"I already did though?"

"Yeah as my friend, not my boyfriend" I told him and he nodded.

"That's fine" he smiled at me and I smiled back. We settled on the couch, sitting closely to each other.

"That can wait until next time we come into town though. Oh, I'm probably going to stay here this week so I can go with Amber"

"Do you need me to come get you next weekend then?" He asked and it made my heart flutter knowing he would do that for me.

"No, thank you but I'll probably have my mom bring me back next Sunday"

"Okay, if plans change let me know" he said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Thanks Ry" I leaned into him, laying my head on his shoulder and sighing contently.
