His treasure: Chapter 7: Take me, please

In His Treasure: Chapter 7, Ryan’s control finally shatters. S. Gordon delivers the moment readers have been waiting for since the first page. One whispered plea from Sudie — “Take me, please” — and the line he swore he’d never cross blurs. Will he be able to restrain himself?

The Dream

 His fingers squeezed her buttocks as he lifted her, and made sure her legs were securely wrapped around his hips.

"Ohh... Rhy, I'm burning up. Baby, please, I need you."

"Hmm... Sudie, I'll do whatever you want," he said.

Ryan buried his face in her bosom and breathed her in. His pulse drummed in his ear. Every muscle in his body was coiled with a restless energy only she could release.

He brought her to the bed and laid her down. It only took a minute for him to pull off his shirt and unbuckle his pants. There was one more restraint and he would be naked before her. But he decided to keep on his boxer briefs for now.

Her eyes absorbed all of him. Taking in the strong, hard lines of his body. "Rhy, come take me, please. I need you. I need it. I don't want to wait any longer," she said.

He moved forward to the bed, heart racing, body trembling. He reached down and touched her thighs. Sudie reached for him and pulled him to her. He went willingly. 

Bending his head, he kissed her abdomen, then moved his body down the length of her. He listened to her breathy moans as his mind raced with anticipation. Lower, lower his lips went until they hovered over the place he had been dying to explore.

"Open for me, baby," he said seductively.

His fingers touched her left inner thigh and she arched into his embrace. She opened her legs and he kissed her thighs. Tenderly, he planted soft, dewy kisses all the way down to her mound. He brushed his fingers on her thin, lacy underwear and heard her gasp.

"Rhy, I love you," she breathed.

"I love you too, baby," he said softly.

His hands hooked into the waist of her panties. He was about to pull them down, when a loud, insistent sound broke through the moment. It sounded like an alarm. His brow knotted. It sounded like the alarm he set on his phone for 5:30 each morning.

An alarm? An alarm at night? He looked around him. It was his room. Yes. He blinked.

The edges of the room grew blurry. The furniture in the room were fading into each other. Her moans were becoming muffled and distant. The room shifted into blackness. He opened his eyes. 

He was dreaming. He sucked his teeth. Grabbing the pillow beside him, he swore softly and dropped it over his face. If this kept happening he wasn't sure he would last a year.

Morning Rendezvous

He wolfed down breakfast of scrambled eggs, toasted wheat bread and a tin of Vienna sausage. He washed that down with some coffee. After checking his weapon and securing it on his service belt, he grabbed his work bag and headed out the door.

He promised his dad that he would stop by the family home that evening so all of them: his dad, Alexandria, Sidney, Elias, Ramon and himself, could discuss how they would handle the situation. Alexandria aka Alex was pregnant and Leslie, her boyfriend of five years denied that he was the father.

He was however going to keep his promise to his baby. The world could be going to hell he would see her this morning. He hadn't bought the condoms. He had second thoughts about that.

He dialed her number. She answered after the second ring. "Hey, baby," Sudanie answered.

He loved the way her voice sounded. "Hey, sweetness. I'm close by." He cleared his throat. " I want to talk to you about something."

Sudie noted the slight change in his tone."Okay, baby. Are we still...?"

He took a deep breath and released it with a sigh. "No. Forgive me, Sue, but I can't. Let me explain when I see you, okay?"

"Okay," she said. He could hear the disappointment in her voice. He really felt bad.

When he arrived at her house, she greeted him at the door in a pink, silk night gown. He looked her up and down, and bit his bottom lip.

"You like it?" she asked, winking at him.

He stared at her breasts for ten more seconds before lifting his gaze to look at her eyes. "You're gorgeous," he said, his voice gravelly.

She stepped closer to him and brushed her hands on his chest. The smile on her face dared him to do something about what she was wearing. He looked at her from head to toe. "You little temptress," he said, chuckling softly. "Come here." 

He reached for her and she went into his arms. He kissed her forehead then sought to kiss her lips. She moved her head back evading his kiss. He grabbed her---his arms around her possessively holding her in place. He bent his head and kissed her with a passion that took her breath away. It made her lean against him for support.

His right hand came up and curled into her hair. The silk press was beginning to unravel. He loved when her hair was like this: A little wavy, but still straight. He lifted his head and sank his face into her hair. He inhaled her. 

"God, you smell so good!" he murmured softly. He began to gently massage her scalp. The sensations from his touch made her weak. Her body went limp on him. He heard the soft groan that left her lips. His fingers clenched in her thick tresses. 

"Sudie," he whispered.

He lifted her and carried her to the bedroom. Carefully, he laid her down and sat on the bed beside her. He brought her left hand to his lips and kissed it.

"Babe, what we're doing is going to cause us to lose control. One of these days we're going to lose all control and have sex," he said, his voice tender. 

She reached out and touched his thigh. "You don't want to lose control with me?" she asked, teasingly.

He smiled at her. "Losing control with you is something I long for, believe me, but I've been thinking about us, and our relationship with the Lord." He released her hand and reached up to cup her face. Sudanie turned her head to cradle her face in the palm of his hand. She closed her eyes briefly then opened them. 

"I love you, Rhy," she said, her voice airy, almost musical to his ears. Ryan watched everything she did, feeling his heart flutter. 

He bent forward and gave her a soft kiss. "I love you too, darling, and that is why I want us to discuss taking this to the next level." His eyes drifted down to admire her ample bosom.

"Next level?" She sat up, curiousity in her eyes as reached for his arm. "Take off you shirt and your gun. Come lay beside me," she said.

"Sue, you know I have work--"

Her index found his lips to silence him. "I know you do," she said with a coy smile on her face. "Today is my day off. Spend a few minutes with me, please." 

She lay down and arched her back so he could see the perfect lines of her waist curving into her wide hips. His breath caught and he swallowed. 

She smiled at him. "Have you eaten already?" she asked. "I can make you something."

He brushed his fingers along her cheeks and jawline. "Yeah, I've eaten," he replied. "You're so beautiful," he mused aloud. Sudanie smiled at him.

"Please, baby, just give me half an hour. Lay beside me," she said. 

Ryan stared at her. Her eyes were pleading with him. He took a breath and released it slowly. He nodded. "Okay," he answered.

"Good," she said. "You can hold me and tell me what you want to tell me like that."

He shook his head and did a little chuckle. "Okay, baby." He stood up and removed his service belt with his weapon and laid them carefully on the chair. Next, he took off his work shirt then his boots. She moved back so he could join her on the bed. 

He climbed onto the bed and Sudie felt the bed sink a little with his weight. The excitement of having him so close made it almost difficult to breathe. He lay down and she reached out and touched his chest. His left hand playfully traced circles on her upper arm. 

"You're so perfect," she said, her breathing elevated. He was wearing a white marina that stretched across his chest. Her eyes mapped the intricate sinews and cords of hard muscle on his body. She looked into his eyes and blushed from the intensity of his stare.

Ryan's gaze softened. "You're the perfect one, baby. You look so tempting in this little nightie." His thumb lifted the thin strap of the silky garment and gently brushed on her shoulder. 

Sudanie's breathing accelerated as she watched the way he was looking at her. His touch was like a warm balm that made her feel safe with him. The slow, deliberate way his fingers caressed her skin made her wish he would undress her so she could feel his touch everywhere.

She cleared her throat. "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked, her voice light and breathy.

"We've been dating for eight months now." He moved closer. "Turn around, baby."

"Turn around?" Her eyes widened just a fraction.

"Mhm, yes," he answered. 

She shifted and moved her body to face the wall behind them. Ryan came up behind her and circled his left arm over her waist. He pulled her back on his chest. 

The scent of cocoa butter hit his senses like a slap. A slap that he was enjoying. He made a soft, guttural sound and kissed her shoulder. He tightened his hold around her and she sighed.

"You feel so good, baby," she said, her voice soft and sensuous. She could feel his thighs pressing into her buttocks. She leaned her shoulders forward, lifted her hips and pressed her butt on him. He pushed back, bracing his crotch on her. Sudie bit her bottom lip. She could feel his arousal pressing against her lower back. 

Ryan grunted. "So sexy," he said, his voice breathy--husky. She scooched her body up on the bed so his hips aligned with her bottom. He pushed himself on her. Sudie groaned. She felt his hardness right in the middle of her butt cheeks. She closed her eyes while biting her lips. 

"Rhy, you're hard?" Her words were breathy and soft. He was having a very strong effect on her.

"Mhm," he said. His voice came out like a grunt. She wished he would give her what she wanted. She reared up and pushed her buttocks on him. 

Ryan's hand gripped the bed sheets. "Behave for me, baby, or I'll have to get up," he said roughly.

Sudie made a sound of frustration and sighed. She cleared her throat. "You were saying something," she said.

Ryan bent his head and rested his chin on her neck. "I'm lusting for you like crazy, Sue. I also know I love you. I care about you deeply. It's not just physical for me, but I'm also very attracted to you. I don't want to burn any more and not be able to quench this thirst. And I want to honor you the way the Lord requires."

"Baby, what are saying?" She felt a pang of fear. Is he going to break up with me? Her hands curled into tight fists.

"Sudie ..." It didn't feel right saying what he needed to say next with her back to him. He used his arm to gently turn her towards him. He cupped her face.  

"Baby," he said, taking a deep breath and swallowing. 

Sudie watched as his Adam's Apple dipped and rose. She wanted to kiss it. His eyes bored into her. There was a raw vulnerability in their depths she'd never seen before. She reached for his hand. "What is it, babe? Tell me," she said, concerned.

He took another breath and released it. "You're the only woman I want." His fingers brushed on her right cheek. He stared into her eyes. His intense gaze spiked her heart rate. 

She touched his face. "Talk to me," she said lovingly.

 "Sue, I want you to meet my family. Baby, I want you to be mine. I want to treat you like the priceless treasure you are. Will you marry me?"
