Chapter 257: You recognize me
Daisy’s lips twitched but she did not speak. Instead, she got up and massaged the back of her neck before turning to get out of the bed. But the moment her feet touched the floor, the soreness spread all over her legs.
Her brows tugged together. Just as she moved to stand up, a shadow enveloped her. She glanced up at Ryle but before she could take a proper look at the man, strong arms wrapped around her body as he picked her up in a princess carry and took her to the couch.
Ryle placed her on his lap and played with his eyes, his eyes tracing over her features in the hazy light of the bedside lamp that barely reached them near the couch.
’’Why did you stop me from speaking there?"
’’You will wake her up.’’
Daisy rolled her eyes, ’’She has taken after her mama in that aspect. Both Diana and Angel can sleep through anything and everything once they close their eyes.’’
’’I know, sweetheart. But you... can be very loud when you want to be,’’ Ryle smirked, ’’So, we cannot risk ruining little princess’ mood for the entire day because of how loud her mommy is...’’
’’Shut up,’’ Daisy pressed her palm on his mouth, her brows twitching.
’’Make me,’’ Ryle winked, throwing his head back as he watched her with a playful smile on his face, ’’Just like you did last night.’’
Daisy’s face burned. Last night, she thought she would not be catching a wink of sleep while thinking about her actions but she was so tired that she did not realize when she dozed off.
Yet, now that Ryle mentioned it, she had flashbacks filling her head.
She closed her eyes to shake off those images that left her body in a mess.
’’Why are you up so early?" she suddenly remembered why she woke up and shifted her attention to the man.
The entire room was enshrouded in darkness except for one bedside lamp that was turned on. But still, the dim lights barely grazed the spot where they were sitting.
Daisy could see Ryle’s features but not as distinctly enough to be able to notice how his smile slipped a little at her question.
’’I have some work to attend to.’’
Daisy let herself slip into his arms into a more comfortable position, ’’Is it still about the Si Family?"
Ryle remained silent.
’’Let it be. As long as she is not coming to stir trouble here, we are good.’’
’’Although you are not saying it out loud, that does not mean that you are clueless about it. Both of us are certain that Si Yena is not dead,’’ Ryle said, ’’And while you can stay calm about it, I cannot rest assured knowing that there is a threat against you and Angel out there in the world.’’
’’You know me. I am more than capable of protecting myself and Angel,’’ Daisy did not understand what he was thinking, ’’There was a time I used to get paid for protecting you, remember?"
"Princess, you are more than capable of ruling the fucking world but that doesn’t mean I do not get to bring the world to your feet.’’
Ryle cupped her jaw and lifted her head such that their lips were grazing against each other’s. Before she could say a word, he captured her lips in a kiss that left Daisy in a puddle.
’’Are you in pain?" he whispered against her mouth, licking her bottom lips and reaching inside her nightdress as he spoke.
’’Not... that bad...’’ Daisy was too sore but she did not know why her body turned all itchy and needy for his warmth when he spoke. She wanted him too bad to turn him down, ’’But... we...’’
’’Shhh... Angel is sleeping so you have to keep it down, alright?" he did not undress her but simply freed his cock which was already throbbing in her need.
Ryle grabbed her hips and pulled her to hover atop his cock. He had made her sleep without panties so all her wetness was gliding across the tip of his cock every time she moved.
Daisy’s nightgown was still intact but underneath it, Ryle was gliding inside her wetness at a torturously slow speed that had her wiggle her hips uncomfortably.
As she bit her bottom lips, he pressed a hand on her mouth and entered in one thrust and did her till she was all spent again.
Daisy felt her consciousness fading by the time he was done with her. She was too exhausted to pay attention to anything so she remained slumped in his arms while he cleaned her up and took her to the bed.
She felt the cool sensation of his lips on her forehead.
She looked at him as her vision grew hazy. His lips were moving as he said something to her but Daisy could not catch his words as her eyes closed.
Ryle smiled, ’’Sorry, sweetheart. I don’t intend to involve you in this matter.’’
He pushed himself to his feet and pulled the blanket up, covering Angel and Daisy properly before leaning in to kiss them both on their cheeks.
...
Benjamin led Ryle inside the hotel room, ’’Boss, she has been kicking a fuss since she woke up. But I haven’t been harmed in the slightest.’’
Ryle did not say anything as he glanced at the woman who was sitting on the table and eating her breakfast as if she had been starved.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching in her direction, she looked up from the plate. Her eyes widened visibly when her gaze landed on Ryle, ’’It’s... you...’’
Ryle’s eyes narrowed. He tilted his chin to the side and Benjamin immediately motioned for the people in the room to clear the table.
’’Hey... hey, I haven’t eaten properly yet,’’ the woman kicked a fuss as she watched them take away the plates.
After the men in the room left, Benjamin also promptly retreated under Ryle’s stare.
’’You recognize me,’’ Ryle took a seat opposite the woman who had a head full of vibrant pink hair that seemed freshly dyed. She had a face full of makeup as she sat opposite him, looking at him hesitatingly every once in a while.
