*I thought you preferred me in my birthday suit?” I teased Ryder, a smile playing on lunging for me again, but 1 dodged him with a laugh.

“Oh, I definitely do,” he replied, grabbing his shirt and pulling it over his head. “But I also enjoy the journey. You know, sering the good stuff before having to find it.”

His eyes darkened as they followed my movements, and I knew exactly what effect I was having on him. I walked toward him slowly, deliberately running my fingers along my side, down past my thigh in a teasing gesture that made his eyes flash with desire.

He leaned against the couch, and I slid effortlessly between his legs, pressing my body against his. Ryder’s hands immediately found my hips, gripping them firmly. My heart raced as my body instinctively responded to his touch.

“Mmm, I like that idea,” Ryder murmured, his voice dropping to that husky tone that sent shivers down my spine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing my chest against him while my fingers tangled in his light blonde hair. His breath was hot against my skin, making every nerve ending tingle.

“We could skip the barbecue,” he whispered, his lips brushing against mine before trailing down my neck toward my exposed cleavage. His hands squeezed my breasts firmly, making me whimper. My body felt like it was on fire everywhere he touched.

Leaned in, whispering in his ear, “But, Alpha…” I felt him shudder, goosebumps spreading across his skin at the way I said ‘Alpha, clearly affected by my tone.

“Hey!” William and Ama stood in the doorway, both beaming with happiness.

“Congratulations! I’m so happy for you guys!” I opened the door wider, letting them enter. Ama immediately pulled me into a hug while William shook Ryder’s hand. Seeing Ama’s smile warmed my heart, though my mind was still lingering on Ryder’s touch, my body still flushed with heat.

“Thank you. I still can’t believe it,” Ama said, unable to contain her smile. I nodded, trying to share in their joy despite being distracted by the memory of Ryder’s hands on me moments ago.

“Can we still join you for dinner? I’m starving,” Ama asked.

I smiled, replying, “Of course,” though I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed at the interruption.

“We can still take the bikes. It’s safe enough so we’re ready if you guys are,” Ama said with a glance toward William.

“Yes, could you two go ahead and get our bikes ready? I need to discuss something with Xena really quick,” Ryder said to William. My heart rate instantly picked up again; I knew exactly what he had in mind.

“Sure, We’ll get them ready,” Ama replied.

The moment they left, Ryder grabbed me by the neck, spinning me around and kissing me hard. His other hand expertly unbuttoned my pants as he pushed me toward the couch. My body was already wet and ready when he pulled down my pants, his fingers sliding

“Oh yes, Alphal‘ I moaned into his mouth. Ryder lifted me effortlessly onto the couch. I heard him unfastening his pants, followed by the sound of them dropping to his ankles.
