The Wannabes Page 12

  “I am trying to get some sleep!” Alex yelled and Ryder laughed.

  “I’m sorry, what crawled up your ass?”

  “Ryder, you are such an asshole!” Alex’s door slammed shut. Soon the two heard a knocking on Alex’s door.

  “Alex, if you want to talk about what is bothering you, let me in.” They heard the door reopen.

  The two hurried to the side of Stella’s room that was closest to Alex’s.

  “Can you hear anything?” Stella whispered. Corbin strained against the wall then shook her head.

  What the hell was going on?

  CORBIN WALKED OUT of Stella’s bedroom where Ryder stood before her dressed in jeans and a green button up shirt that was unbuttoned in just the right spot, just enough to reveal the hint of his tattoos. He eyed her up and down, his eyes resting on her chest.

  “Beautiful,” he smiled that sly smile.

  “You look good too.” She bit her lip.

  “Are you ready to go?” He reached for her hand. She gave him a nod and they entwined their fingers together. He led her out the door and down the stairs, stopped at the bottom of them and kissed her softly on the lips. Corbin felt as if her legs had turned into JELL-O. He pulled away then walked her to his car. He opened the door for her and she slid into the passenger seat. She folded her shaking hands in her lap and took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. Ryder got in the car and when he started it, Jackyl’s She Loves my Cock blared from the CD player. Corbin burst out laughing as he fumbled with the volume button.

  “Sorry.”

  “Don’t be, I love that song,” Corbin managed between giggles.

  “You never cease to amaze me, Corbin.” He gave her a wink then continued on out of the parking lot. They were silent for a moment then Ryder cleared his throat.

  “Have you ever been to the French restaurant, David’s in Muscello?”

  “No I have always wanted to go but Rob….” She stopped herself from continuing on and looked out the window. She felt him place a hand on her leg.

  “It’s ok, Corbin. I know he was a major part in your life for a long time.” She turned back to him, he glanced at her then stared out to the road. She watched a smile play out on his lips. “Just promise me you won’t call out his name when we are in bed together.”

  “I don’t think you will ever have to worry about that.” Her bold words surprised her. Ryder picked up her hand and gave it a kiss.

  When they pulled into the parking lot at David’s, it was full.

  “Shit, I hope we can get a table,” Ryder said. Corbin reached for the door handle and Ryder stopped her. “Let me.” He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. He got out and walked to her side, opened the door and held his hand out to her. Corbin looked up at him, the lights from the sign on the building highlighted all of his facial features. And the green shirt he wore made eyes look even greener. She found herself wanting nothing than to have him, in her bed, or in the car, at that moment. He seemed to read her mind. He brought her up to him and kissed her deeply. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and pushed her up against the car. When he pulled away his breathing was labored.

  “We need to stop. I really don’t want to go in there with a hard on.” Corbin chuckled and gave him one more kiss.

  “Hmmm…” Corbin tapped her chin. It was Ryder’s turn to laugh.

  “Let’s see if we can get a table.” Ryder ran a hand through his hair and seemed to be gathering his breath. Corbin took him by the hand and they went inside. They stopped at the Maître d’, the man eyed Ryder up and down.

  “Two?”

  Corbin watched as Ryder leaned into the man and read his name tag. “Yes, Paul, two please.”

  “The wait time is about 30 minutes at this point, sir.”

  “Do you have a bar?”

  “Well of course.”

  “Ok then put us down in your little book and we will wait there.”

  Paul sighed, “Name?”

  “You can call me Mr. James.” Ryder gave Paul a wink and the peace sign. He then ushered Corbin towards the bar.

  “What was that all about?” Corbin asked as they sat.

  “What do you mean?” Ryder shrugged.

  “That whole, you can call me Mr. James stuff?”

  “That dude was being a pompous ass. I hate when people think they are better than me. Just because he was wearing an expensive suit doesn’t mean shit.”

  “Ryder James, I have never seen anyone get under your skin before.” Corbin raised an eyebrow at him.

  “Ryder?” a female voice asked. Corbin watched Ryder’s face pale. He looked to the ceiling and mouthed the word fuck. Corbin looked behind him and saw a small blonde, her arm hooked with Rob’s. Corbin felt her heart literally stop in her chest. She looked to Ryder and watched as he turned in his seat.

  “Tina and Rob, fucking great,” he said. He grabbed Corbin’s hand and squeezed it. Corbin couldn’t remove her eyes from Rob who just stood and smirked.

  “Tina told me about this place, I have always wanted to try it,” Rob said. Corbin felt her jaw drop and also Ryder’s squeeze got a little tighter.

  “Awesome,” was Ryder’s reply. He placed his face in front of Corbin’s and brought her attention to him. He mouthed the words ‘are you ok?’ Corbin gave him a nod.

  “How are you, Ryder? I tried calling you,” Tina stammered. Ryder kept his eyes on Corbin’s.

  “Right now, I am doing great. And I know you tried to call me, so I changed my phone number. Now if you two could please leave us the fuck alone, I am trying to enjoy a night out with…my...beautiful date.” He touched her face and that brought her back to him. She didn’t care about anything else but the feeling of his hands on her, nothing else mattered.

  “Good bye, Rob,” she managed. She kissed Ryder and from behind them heard Rob call her a slut and Tina huffed. Ryder jerked away and rushed to Rob, they stood nose to nose.

  “It’s time for you to leave, Robbie.” Ryder pushed his sleeves up. Corbin watched as Rob’s face contorted into a look of fear.

  “This ain’t over, ass,” Rob spat. He turned away and yanked Tina out the door with him.

  Ryder returned to his seat next to her. “I am so sorry about that,”

  “It’s not your fault.” Corbin touched his hand and he entwined his fingers with hers. “Who was the girl?”

  “That was Tina.”

  “Oh yeah, she was at Rebels and has a twin sister. Is she an old girlfriend?”

  “Hell no, just somebody I knew while I was in Infected Whiskey.”

  “Oh… a groupie?”Corbin asked.

  “Yeah, something like that.” Corbin watched as Ryder fidgeted.

  “Were they your number one fans?” Corbin teased. She watched a smile appear on Ryder’s face.

  “Mr. James, your table is ready,”

  SOON AFTER THEY were seated a waiter approached them.

  “Corbin Frederick?” Ryder watched as the waiter practically eye raped Corbin.

  “Oh my God, Josh! You work here?” Corbin replied.

  “Yea, just for the summer… you look so different.” Ryder watched as Corbin blushed and Josh’s eyes rested on Corbin’s cleavage. He crossed his arms and cleared his throat.

  “Sorry Ryder, this is Josh Stevens. We went to college together.” Corbin smiled.

  Josh gave Ryder a wave, Ryder gave him a nod.

  “Do you want to order?” Corbin asked as she perused the menu.

  “Nah, go ahead, I trust you.” Ryder ran a hand threw his hair.

  As he listened to her order their meal in that sweet language his eyes remained on her mouth. Her lips were the color of cherries and he watched their every move when she spoke. His mind shifted to earlier when she had gone down on him with that talented mouth. He had been blown many times, but not nearly as well as Corbin’s performance. Never before had he came so fast, usually it took him an hour to get off. He felt his dick start growing.

  “Ryder�
��” Corbin voice snapped him away from his naughty thoughts.

  “Yeah.” He shifted in his seat.

  “What do you want to drink?”

  “Ahm…what are you having?”

  “A glass of red wine.”

  “Yuck, do you have any Blue Moon, Josh?” Ryder cocked his head towards him.

  “Yep.”

  “I’ll have one of those then.”

  Josh gave him a nod then headed off towards the bar.

  “I am so jealous of Josh, he got a full ride to the University of Iowa.” Corbin tucked her hair behind her ear.

  “I thought you were going there too?”

  “Well unfortunately, I didn’t get a scholarship, and the tuition is so high.”

  “That sucks, why didn’t you get a scholarship?”

  “I had to take some time off from school, you know to help my mom,” Corbin shrugged then she seemed to trail off in her thoughts. Josh sat their drinks down and began conversing with Corbin again. Ryder sat back in his seat and took a long pull from his beer. He visualized choking Josh out so that he would stop talking. He smirked then snorted aloud. Corbin stopped talking and turned to him, Ryder gave her a wink and took another drink from his beer.

  Soon their food came and Ryder was pleased to see what she had ordered. They gorged themselves on a cheese board, beef carpacio, and French onion soup.

  “That was delicious,” Corbin cooed.

  “I love carpacio and I have a killer recipe for French onion soup,”

  “If you keep cooking like you have been, I am going to be as big as a house.” Corbin laughed.

  “Do you want another glass of wine?” Ryder waved to Josh.

  “Sure,” Corbin swished the small amount of liquid in her glass then drank it.

  “Corbin needs a refill and I’ll take another Blue Moon.” Josh gave them a quick nod then hurried away.

  “Thank you for bringing me here tonight.” Corbin looked him in the eyes.

  “I am glad you enjoyed it.” Ryder gave her his sly smile.

  “I can’t believe Rob was here, he is such an ass. I tried and tried to get him to bring me here on a date.” Corbin shook her head, “I’m sorry for bringing that up.”

  “It’s his loss and my gain.”

  Corbin reached across the table and grabbed his hand. They locked eyes. Josh sat their drinks down and tried to start another conversation with Corbin. But this time her eyes remained on his. He lost himself in her deep brown eyes, and to tell the truth, he was ready to stay lost with her and only her.

  CORBIN LET HER hands wander all over Ryder as he drove. The two glasses of wine had made her head a little fuzzy and she was very horny.

  “You’re going to make me wreck,” Ryder laughed as she tugged on his belt.

  “You now I have always had this fantasy that I wanted to live out.” She pulled up her dress and revealed her panties. Ryder looked from the road to her then reached out and placed his hand between her thighs.

  “Oh yeah?” She watched as he licked his lips.

  She unbuckled her seatbelt and moved closer to him, she nuzzled his neck and he groaned.

  “I have always wanted to…you know…on a car.” She nipped his earlobe and felt herself blush at the bold words she spoke.

  “Hmmm…I think I can help you out with that.” Ryder slowed the car down and turned onto a gravel road. “In the meantime, sit back, buckle up and remove those panties.”

  Corbin did as he said. Ryder ran his hands up and down her thighs, then urged her to open her legs further. He ran his fingers over her clit. Corbin’s body exploded with pleasure.

  “Damn, Corbin,” Ryder growled.

  Corbin placed her hand over his and placed his fingers inside of her. A guttural moan erupted from her. She felt the car halt and heard her door open. Ryder pulled her to him and kissed her. The kiss was urgent and feverish and Corbin felt her knees give. Ryder slid his hands under her dress and lifted her off the ground. He carried her and placed her on the hood of the car. Corbin felt the heat from the engine under her and it intensified her hunger for Ryder. She yanked and pulled at his belt, then once she unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, she slid her hand inside. He groaned in her mouth as she wrapped her fingers around him and began moving up and down.

  “If you keep that up your going to make me come in my pants,” he whispered, and then gave her ear a little nip.

  “Mmmm…” she moaned. The thought of him coming all over her hand excited her even more. She felt Ryder slide his jeans down further and the sound of a condom wrapper opening. She opened her eyes and watched as he slid it on. He shivered as he rolled it up.

  “Come here.” He tugged at her legs and slid further down the hood. He placed her feet and legs where he wanted them then took a step back as if to admire his work.

  “That’s fuckin’ hot.” He clicked his tongue then covered her mouth with his. As he entered her, Corbin lay back on the hood. He lifted her legs over the top of his arms, grabbed her hips and drove into her hard. Corbin cried out in pleasure louder than she had ever before. He in turn matched her cries with his own.

  “Oh yea, baby, come with me,” Ryder growled. They both exploded together each one lost in their own orgasms. Corbin felt Ryder relax and remove himself from her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up to him. He kissed her gently as she wrapped her legs and arms around him, she never wanted to let go.

  AFTER A HEAVY make out session they were finally back on the road. Ryder wanted nothing more than taking Corbin back to the apartment, lock the doors and never leave her bed. He looked to Corbin who was applying lipstick, little giggles escaped her.

  “What’s so funny?” Ryder cocked an eyebrow at her.

  “I was just thinking about what just happened. I have never done anything like that before. It was so…” He watched as she bit her lip.

  “Naughty?” He wiggled his eyebrows and she laughed.

  “Yeah…and freeing.”

  “Freeing? How so?”

  “Before I met you I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I mean I knew what I wanted but I didn’t know how to get it” He watched her turn a deep shade of crimson. He grabbed her hand and entwined his fingers with hers. “You make me feel like I can do anything, be anyone I want to be, Ryder. I’m not the shy girl you met I the kitchen when you first arrived, you know, the one who choked on her beer and hid in her bedroom all the time. And hid herself under layers and layers of clothes. You make me feel like a beautiful woman.”

  Ryder felt his heart seize in his chest, he pulled to the side of the road. He looked to her and placed a finger under her chin and raised her eyes to his.

  “You are a beautiful woman, Corbin. That shy girl I met in the kitchen is what attracted me to you in the first place. I was so tired of living the fast life and I wanted more, I didn’t know where to find it.” He paused for a moment then allowed the words he had been holding back flow from him. “I have never felt this way about a woman in my life. You make me feel free too. Free from my past mistakes, free to be what I want to be. I love you, Corbin.” He watched her eyes as he spoke those words and waited.

  What if she doesn’t love me?

  Too late to take those words back now, you’re whipped.

  “I love you too, Ryder,” she said in a soft whisper. She leaned into him and kissed him. He released her seatbelt and pulled her onto his lap. Outside cars blew by them honking their horns and soon flashing lights from a cop car lit up the inside of the car. Ryder didn’t care, he just kept his mouth on Corbin’s, at least until a tapping on his window made them stop. Corbin slid off his lap and her little giggles began again. Ryder looked to her and held fingers up to his mouth as an attempt to quiet her. She bit her lip and covered her mouth. Ryder pushed the button and rolled down his window.

  “Good evening, officer.” Ryder plastered on a smile.

  AFTER THE COP grilled Ryder about parking on the side of the road, he let him off with a warning. Cor
bin couldn’t stop laughing, she wasn’t sure if it was the wine or the fact that they had both just shared their feelings for one another. They pulled into the parking lot at Rebels. Even from inside of the car they could hear the lead singer of Skin Candy wailing from inside of the bar.

  “Is that a chick singing?” Ryder asked as he shut the car off.

  “Yep, they are an all-girl band, they are pretty badass.” Corbin checked her reflection in the mirror one last time then turned to Ryder. He sat with his head against the headrest looking at her, that sexy sly smile on his face. She reached out and ran her hand down his face. He released his seatbelt and leaned in for a kiss. As he did the driver’s side window exploded. She felt him wrap his arms around her and pin her to her seat. She squeezed her eyes shut and a scream erupted from her.

  “What the fuck!” Ryder exclaimed. From outside Corbin heard thumps against the car and it shook. Corbin opened her eyes and seen glass all over Ryder. He seemed to be searching her face for any signs of injury. “Call the cops and stay in here,” he commanded.

  “No...please... don’t go out there,” Corbin pleaded. She felt as if she was going to throw up.

  “I’ll be ok.” He gave her a quick kiss then yanked open the door. Corbin scrambled for her phone, and dialed 911.

  “911, what’s your emergency?”

  “We…were…attacked…please…hurry,” Corbin sobbed.

  “Who’s we Ma’am?”

  “My…boyfriend and I…someone busted out…the car window…and…” From outside of the car Corbin heard several voices yelling over the loud music inside, then Ryder’s voice rang out. It sounded strangled, weird, and different. “Oh my God, please hurry!”

  “Calm down Ma’am, what is your name and what is your location?”

  “Corbin Frederick, and we are at Rebels in River Junction…I can’t remember the address.” Tears flowed down Corbin’s face and she was shaking uncontrollably.

  “Corbin, help is on the way. Stay on the phone with me ok?”
