Free Ryder by Amy Davies Page A

bodies. Lucy is hysterical laughing while Rafe looks as if he is ready to kill me and bury my body where no one is going to find me. I sit on the edge of the bed and wink at Lucy.
    “You fucking dick, Ry. What the hell was that? I was making love to my girl and you cock block me. What kind of brother are you, dude?” A small smile slides across his face and he pulls Lucy tight into his body. Once he is sure Lucy is covered, he asks why I’m here.
    “I thought you were spending the morning with Soph” I pull at the frayed patch of my jeans.
    “What did you do, Ryder?” This comes from Lucy; I look at her and then back to my jeans.
    “We went to The Hot Pot for coffee and Letty was there and I may or may not having led to her believe that I slept with Sophie.” I pull my ball cap the right way and down low over my eyes so I don’t have to look Lucy in the eyes.
    “Jesus. What the hell were you thinking, Ry?”
    “I wasn't ok. Some shit went down yesterday with Letty and me. Let’s just say I screwed up. I handled a few things wrong and hurt Letty and she has Demi with her. She asked for some time but then me being me, took it as a slow let down and said, fuck it. And then this morning I made it worse”
    Rafe stands butt ass naked and pulls his sweats on and hands Lucy her panties and dress. They both stop and look at me.
    “What?” I say looking between them.
    “My girl needs to get dressed, bro. We will meet you in the living room.” I wink at Lucy and leave his room. I get my opened bottle of water and throw myself on the couch. Cane jumps onto my stomach knocking the wind out of me. Freaking dog.
    “Shit boy, kill me while you’re at it why don’t you” I scratch his belly and wait for my brother and Lucy to join me. Rafe and Lucy join me not long after. My brother scowls at me because I know he has blue balls right now. They both sit in the chair Lucy sitting on Rafe’s lap I swear since they have been together her ass hasn’t touched another seat.
    “Ok, so I’ll start from what happened yesterday I followed Letty after she finished work and she was picking Demi up from day care, Letty spotted me” I smile to myself remembering our texts to each other “We both when into get Demi…” Lucy cuts me off.
    “Letty took you into the day care to get her daughter. Wow Ryder that’s huge” I frown and kicking myself.
    “How is that huge, Snowflake? He just went into get Demi with her it’s not like she asked Ryder to pick her up on his own” Rafe says.
    “But, baby it is huge. She trusted Ryder enough to take him in there in the first place, especially after only knowing him for such a short amount of time. A mom wouldn’t let a strange guy pick her daughter up with her. Ryder she must have feelings for you if she did that. What happened after you picked Demi up?”
    “I took them both to Ed’s for something to eat and Luce, it was amazing to see how they interact with each other, the love that is between them. Yeah, I know that a mom naturally loves her children but the way Letty was with Demi blew me away. While we eating two girls came over because they knew who I was and I went into rock star mode, I couldn’t stop and I made a few comments that I shouldn’t have said while with my two girls. Letty…”
    “Whoa, your two girls? Did you just say that, Ry Ry?” My heart swells at the thought of making Letty and Demi mine someday.
    Rafe and Lucy smile at me and I return it. “Yeah, Snowflake I did. They are amazing together and I want to get to know them better. They make me want more I just hope that they will be a part of it.  Holy shit what the hell am I going to do, Luce?” I take a deep breath “Is it so wrong that I care for them this much after a short time? I need to talk with Letty.” I wink and stand and as I walk to my room, I call back.
    “I told Sophie we will meet her at Max Point tonight. You two ok with that?” They shout back with their replies and I head for the
