Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four
A few minutes after closing my bedroom door, Ryder comes in. He doesn’t knock this time. I have already pulled my fuzzy pajama pants off leaving me in just my T-shirt. I watch as Ryder strips down to his boxers. He has such a beautiful body. All muscles and tan. I will never get tired of looking at him.
“You ready to get some sleep baby?”
“Yeah I am.” Climbing in the bed we snuggle up in the middle of the bed, me laying my head against his chest. I give him a soft kiss and Ryder rubs my back in small soothing circles. It only takes a couple of minutes for me to fall asleep.
Morning comes fast and Ryder kisses the top of my head when I look to see if he is awake. “Good morning baby.”
I rub my eyes with the back of my hand. “Good morning. What time is it?” I ask my voice still groggy from sleep.
“It looks like it’s nine fifteen in the morning baby.” Ryder says, looking at his phone on the nightstand.
Blah. That sucks I was hoping it was still early, so I could go back to sleep. I am excited to have a whole day with my guys though. I wonder what today will bring, just me with the three of them all day and all night.
“Do you think mom and Curtis have left already?”
Ryder nods his head. “Yeah, I think they did, I think I heard the door closing earlier. I have been up for a while, watching you sleep.”
“Watching me sleep?” I ask embarrassed, covering my face with my hands. “Why?”
Ryder chuckles. “Because you are beautiful baby.”
I scoff. “No I’m not. Especially not when I’m sleeping, I’m sure I look like a mess.”
“You are beautiful baby, especially when you are sleeping. You are the sexiest girl I have ever seen even in the morning, even when you are looking like a hot mess.” Ryder says kissing the top of my head again.
I roll my eyes. “You are such a liar.”
“I would never lie to you baby.”
I look at him, really look at him. Everything about him is beautiful, but his eyes are some of the most beautiful dark brown eyes I have ever seen. The way he looks at me makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. “I would never lie to you either Ryder.” I tilt my head up, giving him a kiss.
Ryder kisses me again. “I know you wouldn’t baby.”
We stay in bed enjoying the comfort of each other’s arms for another ten minutes before getting up and getting ready to start the day. “I’m going to take a shower before I come down stairs.” I say once we are both up. Ryder puts his shirt on, leaving his pants on my floor.
“Okay baby. I’m going to get a pair of shorts from my room, and I will see you down stairs.” He gives me a mischievous smile, and I narrow my eyes at him, wondering what’s going through his mind. “Unless you want me to join you in the shower.”
I laugh, I should have known he was going to say something like that. “As much as I would love that, I think me, you and your brothers need to talk about a few things first.”
He pouts for a second, making me roll my eyes. “I know baby, but it doesn’t hurt to try right.”
“I guess you’re right. I will see you down stairs in a few minutes.” I say walking out of the bedroom and down the hall to the bathroom.
I take my time in the shower, thinking of all things I need to talk about with my guys. We need to set up some kind of ground rules, or something. I have never had three boyfriends before, I have barely had one, so I don’t even know how to start the conversation with them. One of the most important things I need to know is where do they stand on the Logan and my other guy friends’ situation. I know Ryder didn’t care, but Reece and Raikin don’t seem like they like Logan that much, so I don’t know how they are going to feel about me hanging around with them.
After my shower, I get dressed quickly and make my way down stairs. I need to talk to them, while I still have enough nerve to do it. Making my way down stairs I can smell bacon cooking. I could really get used to them cooking all the time. I know how to cook, but that doesn’t mean I like doing it all the time.
“Good morning, guys.” I say making my way into the kitchen. Reece is standing at the stove cooking bacon, eggs and pancakes. Raikin is at the counter by the sink making fresh squeezed orange juice. Ryder is sitting at the island counter on one of the stools.
“Good morning baby.” Reece says, making his way over to me. He kisses me once, a soft gentle kiss on my lips, that leaves me wanting more.
Raikin comes over to me next. “Good morning sweetheart. How did you sleep?”
“I slept good.” I say, smiling up at him. He kisses me once, just like Reece did. I feel greedy, the kisses were sweet, but I want more.
“How did you guy’s sleep?” I ask looking at Reece and Raikin as they go back to what they were doing at the stove and counter.
“Good.” They say in unison, and I can’t help but smile. You can definitely tell they are brothers.
“You need me to help with anything?” I ask taking a seat on the stool next to Ryder at the island counter.
Reece turns around, flashing me a beautiful smile. “No baby. We wanted to cook for you guys this morning. I am sure there are some things you want to talk about, since you had the night to think about everything.”
Reece knows I want to talk? Wow, I wasn’t really expecting that. I mean honestly, I don’t know what I was expecting. Maybe this won’t be as bad as I thought. “Yeah, there is, but we can wait until after breakfast.”
Raikin is the one to speak this time. “Sounds good to me baby. I am starving.”
“Me too.” Ryder chimes in and I playfully bump his shoulder with mine.
“Will you help me set the table?” I ask Ryder, wanting to feel helpful. As much as I like the guys cooking for me and doing things for me, it is going to take a while for me to get used to someone taking care of me. Not just one, but three. I will have to get used to three amazing guys taking care of me.
Ryder nods his head. “Yeah of course baby.”
