Two unbreakable souls-Book 3

CHAPTER 6

　　Ryland took my hand in his, linking our fingers, “Are you excited for our first official date night after moving here” he asked.

　　“Hell, yeah!” I beamed brightly at him.

　　“I can’t wait to experience so many new things with you while we are here,” he smiled, kissing the top of my head.

　　“And get into some trouble.” I wiggled my brows at him.

　　“Oh, I am always up for some trouble.” He winked, pecking my lips.

　　I knew he would be, but we are only young once, and we may as well enjoy our time and experience everything fun in life, “I thought you would be.” I said, nudging my hips to his.

　　We arrived at the restaurant, Ryland gave the hostess our reservation name, and we got seated quickly. We had chosen Italian because you can never go wrong with Italian food. We placed our drink orders and took a look over the menu.

　　“Do you want to share a pizza Or do you want something else” I asked.

　　“We can share a pizza.” He smiled. I grinned widely at his answer. The man knows me so well.

　　Ryland motioned the waiter over and placed our order, a large cheese pizza, bruschetta and fries.

　　“Are you still nervous about meeting your half-siblings and Peter’s wife” he asked.

　　I was meeting them the following week, and being nervous was an understatement. I knew my sister and brother were still young, but I just wished they like me — the kids and Ashley.

　　“Extremely. I don’t want them to think I am stepping in and messing with their dynamic,” I sighed. I didn’t want to feel like I was imposing.

　　“You aren’t. Peter wants you as part of his family, and I am sure they all do. They will love you, how can they not” he encouraged. Thankfully, he was coming with me because I didn’t think I could do it alone, not the first time.

　　“I know, but it will be a significant change for them too. They are probably too young to understand,” I said softly.

　　“Maybe not, but I am sure Connor and Abby will love having a big sister.” He reached over the table, resting his hand over mine. “It is going to go great, and I will be right there with you every step of the way.” He lifted my hand to his lips, kissing my knuckles, “Always!” he added.

　　“And forever…” I reached over the table, pecking his lips.

　　I swear I would be losing my mind if I was going through all of this alone. The topic of conversation ended there because our food arrived.

　　“It looks so good,” I said excitedly, licking my lips, “Then ladies first, dig in,” he replied, nodding towards the pizza. I don’t ever need to be told twice when pizza is concerned. I took the first slice, biting straight into it.

　　“I am sure your addiction to pizza and cheese isn’t normal,” he teased, and I lift my head to glare at him, picking a fry from the plate to through it at him.

　　“And your point is” I giggled.

　　“Hey! That wasn’t nice,” he complained, petting his lip at me. I smiled sweetly at him, turning my attention back to my food. Ryland chuckled from across the table.

　　I loved our date nights.

　　When Ryland and I were on our way home after dinner, I texted Lola to let her know, so if they were getting on somewhere that isn’t their bedroom, they could stop, and if they are in their room, they could put music on. It is a rule we all agreed on, music on when having s*x if the other couple is home.

　　“Do I still get to take off what you have on underneath when we get home” Ryland rasped in my ear, and the tip of his cold nose coupled with his warm breath was enough to cause a shiver to run through me.

　　“Mmm, yes. I have been looking forward to it all night, babe,” I purred, resting my hand on his chest.

　　“Good! I was hoping that would be your answer, kitten,” he smirked, swatting my ass. I would always be up for sexy time with my man.

　　I rested my head against his arm, and he kissed the top of my head, “I love you, baby girl,”

　　“I love you too, baby boy.”

　　We walked back to the apartment in comfortable silence, both eager to return, the s****l tension evident in the air. When we arrived, the first thing we heard was music. At least they got the text, and we never came home to something that would undoubtedly cause nightmares.

　　Ryland grabbed my hand, dragging me to our bedroom and switching our music on, he kicked the door behind us. He attached his lips to mine in a heated kiss. I moaned, instantly getting turned on, and pressed my body to his. It never took him long to get me going.

　　I was excited for the next couple of hours.
