In his grasp 2

Bath time

I stumbled across the hallway with Ryan holding me up. Each step onto the ground rumbled through my ribs and was so overwhelming that I could hardly stand up straight. Ryan guided her into the bathroom where the bath was full of bubbly warm water and the lights were turned off. Only the flickering light from the candles lit up the room. They sparkled through the bubbles and the temperature was humid from the water. He had placed chocolates around the rim of the bath in a perfect line.

“Ryan, it’s absolutely perfect” I gasped as he sat me down on the edge. I felt the water with my fingertips and it felt like heaven. I haven’t had a bath in a while, only showers and even then it has been a little while due to my injuries. 

“Do you need help getting undressed?” He asked me and my back immediately tensed. The thought of him seeing me naked alone was frightening but I had bruises all over my body from that sick son of a b***h. I didn’t want him to see the shame and the torture that I suffered. I shook my head and he folded his arms looking at me sarcastically. “Are you sure?” He asked again.

“Yep, I will be fine” I tried to convince him. He stood there for a moment looking at me in disbelief. He shrugged and then said “okay, I will be outside if you need me” he smiled expecting that I will. I rolled my eyes and he closed the door behind him.

I grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and tried to pull my arm from it. The pain was too great and increased the more I struggled. I tried the other arm but it was no use, it was just too painful. I huffed in defeat and called out to Ryan.

“Okay, maybe I do need help” my tone was full of disappointment and the door opened. Ryan entered looking pleased with himself. Without saying a word he went straight for the bottom of my shirt to lift it above my head. I took a deep breath in as I knew the bruising to my ribs was horrific. Ryan stopped and looked at my body for a moment with pure concern and sympathy in his expression. My ribs were swollen and black with a hint of purple. It covered a large area of my skin and I had bruises from Arthur’s grip when restraining me. 

Ryan said nothing and stood me up, leaning me against the wall for support. He unhooked my bra and let it drop to the floor revealing more bruises across my back. I felt embarrassed and didn’t want to turn around or him to continue as the silence was unbearable. “Ryan, I can do the rest” I said looking down at the ground, too embarrassed to face him. Without breathing a word he pressed his chest against my back, as gently as he could so that it didn’t connect too hard against my bruises. He leant his over and placed his lips next to my ear. His breath was warm against it and his skin was smooth yet hard around his muscles. Without touching my body with his hands he whispered “don’t feel embarrassed, you’re still beautiful to me”. His words were like silk to my ears and I took a moment to gather courage. I sighed.

“Ryan, I’m broken” I managed to say realising I didn’t really make much sense. “Your perfect” he whispered. I felt my entire body go numb, my walls that were up began to melt away and I took a deep breath in. Every part of me was still accept my hands that grabbed on to his from behind. I placed them to my hips and guided them onto my shorts. Starting him off, he pulled them down gently until they dropped to the floor along with my thong. He laid his lips to my neck and lightly kissed down to my spine, kissing the bruises gently as he went. He knelt down behind me and kissed along the bottom of my back which caused me to arch. I expected him to continue, but he stopped and stood up. “Turn to me” he said and I slowly turned around to reveal my broken body. He trailed his fingers over my injuries and said “I won’t let anyone harm you again Lauren, you are safe with me”. His words relaxed my tensed up composure and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. 

He buried his head into my neck once more and whispered “let me help you”. His pleas caused my neck to tingle which continued through my body. I didn’t answer, instead I stumbled over to the bath and turned my head to him, indicating him to join. He undressed himself slowly and I watched his muscular body outline from the candle light. He stepped into the bath and sat down. Holding out his hand to assist me, he guided me into the bath and I sat down in front of him. Closing my eyes to take in the sensation of his skin against mine, Ryan took hold of the soap and ran it down my spine. His breath was cool on my wet back and he placed his palms to it to rub the soap into into my skin. Once he was satisfied that my back was covered, he cupped the water with his hands and trickled it down my soapy skin. 

He pressed his smooth lips against my back and I moaned. I suddenly remembered that he was not mine to have. He had Ashley and I just didn’t want to ruin his relationship for my own selfish needs. “Ryan...” I said but he must have thought that I was calling out his name in pleasure not attention because he didn’t reply. I moved away and turned to him, my breasts covered by the bubbles that mounted above the water and my expression incredibly serious. He scrunched his nose up and his eyes were full of confusion. 

“What is it?” He asked. I looked down at the water and forced myself to speak, only managing to say one word.

“Ashley”. I couldn’t meet his gaze as I didn’t want to stop but I knew it was the right thing to do. 

“Lauren, forget about Ashley” he said and my gaze met his. 

“I can’t, she’s your girlfriend and I know what we’re doing is wrong”. I expected him to show some sort of guilt for the way we have been acting but instead, he smiled. He seemed amused at the fact that he was basically cheating on her. 

“We aren’t together” he chuckled. Surprise wiped across my face. It was only yesterday that she was greeting him with a kiss. 

“What?” I asked and he continued to smile at me. “We broke up, this morning, I went to her office and we had a long chat” he explained. I couldn’t help it, I was so relieved at this information. “Why?” I asked and he slid closer to me, raised his hand from the bubbles and held my cheek. 

“It’s not important at the moment, we can talk about it later but for now...” he leant towards my face, my n*****s hardened at the feel of his chest brush against them and his breath hitting my lips. 

“This is important” he said closing his eyes and pressing his lips against mine. Our lips danced together synchronously. The hunger inside of me was fierce and growing the more he kissed me. When our lips parted for a breath I let out a groan. “Ryan...”

He gripped my neck with his teeth and growled. “Mmm I love it when you call out my name”. I felt myself thrust towards his body and I felt his hardened length poke at my thigh. I must say, his c**k was huge in all aspects. I tried to move to sit on him but sharply jolted back with a groan of pain. Ryan stopped immediately thinking that he had been the cause of my pain but he realised that I was trying to slide myself onto his lap. He grinned, slightly amused at how helpless I was. 

“Lie back” he commanded, his tone was soft and angelic, I did as he asked. I laid down and he placed my leg on either side of him. He raised my right leg and put my foot flat on the bottom of the bath. “Relax”. He trailed his fingers from my ankle, up my thighs. He lowered his head to my leg, making sure he was close enough for me to feel his warm breath on my skin. My heart rate increased at the anticipation of his mouth touching my skin. 

“Relax” he repeated and gazed up at me, not moving his head at all. He the placed his tongue onto the surface and slowly dragged it up to my thigh. He stopped where the water covered the rest of my body and sucked at my skin. I felt his hand gently cover my p***y and he watched my expression. My body was aching for his and my clit pulsates, desperate for him caress it. 

“Ryan... please... I can’t take it anymore” I begged and he grinned at me. He placed his thumb to my clit and pressed down on it, moving it around slightly. I gasped at the instant release of my desperation and tilted my head back to the bath. “Better?” He asked with a slightly cocky tone to his voice. I pressed my lips together to moan, nodding in reply as I did. 

“What do you want?” He asked me. I didn’t know what I wanted, I was being controlled and distracted by his thumb. 

“Tell me baby... what do you want” he stopped rubbing and placed his fingers inside of me without a moment of hesitation. I let out a gasp and he slid his fingers in and out slowly.

“I... I want you...” whispered as I tried to force my voice. “And what do you want from me?” He smirked as he leant over my body, still pumping his fingers in my p***y. The distance between us gradually disappeared and he waited for my reply. “I want you inside of me” I gasped and he took them out.

Kissing my lips he gripped his length and guided it to my entrance. I moaned at the touch of his thickness. He kissed down my chest and was ready to push it in.

“Ryan!” A voice shouted from the hallway. You have got to be f*****g kidding me!
