    CHAPTER b33 /b

    ANNA’S POV

    Ryan groaned softly as he shifted beside me, his arm sliding around my waist like he wasn’t ready to let me go, pulling me flush against him until I could feel every bit of him, and then, without warning, he slipped his cock inside me again. My breath hitched instantly.

    “Ryan,b” /bI said quickly, my voice low but urgent, “take it out.”

    He didn’t even flinch. “Let me stay like this for a while,” he murmured against my hairb, /bhis breath warm on my ear. “I’ve got some minutes left before eleven.”

    I stiffened a little because I wasn’tfortable with it, not right now, but I stayed anyway, my mind already trying to push the words out that I had been rehearsing in my head for hours. “Ryan, I started slowly, keeping my voice steady, “this… this is thest time, okay? I mean it. You shouldn’t bother visiting me again. Let’s just end this here and now.”

    Even as I said it, it didn’t sound right, even to my own ears, the words feeling heavy and awkward, but I just had to get them out, I had to make myself say them, because if I didn’t, I was afraid I’d never be able to.

    Instead of arguing like I thought he would, Ryan chuckled quietly, which honestly threw me off. “bIf /byou think you can stay away from me after today,” he said with that calm confidence that always made me nervous, “then go ahead and try it.”

    My brows drew together as I turned my head a little to look at him. “What do you mean by that?”

    He didn’t answer. He just gave me that small, knowing smirk, the kind that made it seem as if he knew something I didn’t, and let me wonder. His fingers moved instead, pinching lightly at my nipples, making me flinch at the sudden spark of sensation, and then he lowered his head and pressed his mouth to my corbone, sucking slowlyb, /bnot rushing anything, not trying to start something more, just… staying there.

    It wasn’t about movement. He wasn’t thrusting or anything like bthat/b. It was just him holding me, his hand massaging my breastzily, his cock still inside me as if he didn’t want to break that connection, like it meant something deeper to him than I could understand in that moment.

    We stayed like that for what felt like forever, neither of us speaking, just breathing in the same rhythm. I almost forgot about the rest of the world while my mind was drifting until my phone buzzed beside me. I reached for it without thinking, and then

    froze when I saw the caller ID.

    Mom.

    My stomach dropped and my heart instantly started pounding in my ears. “Shit,” I muttered under my breath, the panic already setting in when I saw it was a video call. Not just a call, a video call!

    “Ryan,” I hissed, my voice breaking with urgency, “get your cock out of me, now!!!”

    But Ryan just held me tighter, his lips brushing my ear as he let out a low groan like he wasn’t ready to move. “No.”

    “Ryan, I’m serious,” I tried to push at his chest, but he didn’t budge.

    “I’m not leaving you yet,” he said, his tone stubborn but soft. “Nor when I’ve barely had time with you.”

    “This isn’t the time for this-” I started, but he cut me off.

    ((

    Anna, listen to me,” he whispered firmly, making it sound as if he wanted every word to sink in. “I’m not ready to leave you. You’re my warmth, and I need that before I go back to my cold, empty bed at home.”

    I could barely process his words because the phone kept ringing in my hand, the sound loud enough to make my pulse race even faster. My thumb hovered over the screen while I tried again to shove at him, but he wouldn’t move. He wasn’t even trying to hide that he was staying exactly where he wanted to be.

    “Ryanb, /bplease,” I bbegged/b, biny /bvoltée dropping, but he just gave a sigall shake of his head and kept his mouth near my ear. breathing me in.

    The call finally cut off, leaving only the deafening sound of my own heartbeat patinding in my ears. I barely had a second to breathe before it started ringing again.

    My hands were shaking now. I knew I couldn’t let it go unanswered a second time, if I did, she’d get suspicious. I met Ryon’s eyes onest time, hoping he’d read the panic in mine and finally let go, but he didn’t. Instead, he stayed right there, his eyes steady on me as if he was daring me to do something.

    I swallowed hard, swiped to answer, and Moin’s face filled the screen.
