CHAPTER TWO
Riley
Daphne’s always saying that I need to fly first class at least once in my life.
I told her one day I would, but with all the money I’ve put into the coffee shop, I just can’t do it right now.
As we were checking in, I found out that Daphne had paid the difference for me to fly with her in first class.
I love her so much. I told her she shouldn’t have spent that money on me, and she laughed and rolled her eyes.
I have to admit, flying first class on an almost eight-hour flight is nice.
Now I’m definitely going to save up before flying again.
Our first three days in Ireland, we spent in Dublin.
Then we took the Irish Rail from Dublin to Galway.
We grabbed some food before we got on the train.
For some reason, everything I’ve eaten in Ireland tastes so much better than anything I’ve had back home.
I’m going to have to ask Graínne and Caitríona if they have any recipes they can share. I have a new love of Irish food.
We have two more days here and I’m really sad to leave.
“Have you decided where you want to eat dinner?”
“What about that restaurant next to the hotel?”
“Sounds good to me. I’m starving.” She laughs.
“Me too. Come on, let’s go.”
When we get to the restaurant, luckily they have a table for us. It looks like one of the last tables that are open. As I look around, my eyes land on the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. And I think he’s looking at me too.
“That guy hasn’t taken his eyes off you since we walked in,” Daphne whispers to me.
“You’re nuts, he’s not looking at me.”
“You’re blushing.” She giggles.
“I told you, I’m done with guys and dating. So yes, he’s gorgeous. But no thank you,” I say to her.
She laughs as we order drinks and appetizers.
“You’re such a liar. If he came over here, you can’t tell me that you wouldn’t talk to him.”
“You realize we’re leaving in two days, right?”
“I’m not telling you he’s your forever. But we’re on vacation. You should have fun.”
“And what about you?”
“Well, he’s not alone.”
I look and finally see that he’s with a group of six guys. Well shit. I didn’t even notice them.
“Fine. Yes, if he were to come over here? I’d talk to him. But he won’t, so shush and eat your food.” I laugh.
“These drinks are from the table over there.” Our waitress tilts her head and smiles as she places the drinks on our table.
Daphne and I turn to see the table with the gorgeous man. They all raise their glasses to us.
“Please tell them thank you,” I say to her as we raise our glasses back at them.
After we’re done with our dinner, one of the guys from the table comes over.
“Hi, my name is Conley. I hope this is okay, but my friends and I wanted to invite you both to come out with us. We were going to the bar just down the road.”
Daphne and I look at each other. As much as I want to say yes, we don’t know them. What if they kidnap us?
“I can see you’re hesitant. It’s okay, we just wanted to ask.” He smiles at us. “I hope you both have a great night.”
Daphne looks at me. “Let’s make a deal. If either of us feel like anything’s weird, we leave.”
I nod. “Deal.”
We ask the waitress for our bill and she says that it’s already been taken care of. I ask her by who and she points out the man I can’t stop staring at.
“Thank you,” we both say to her.
We head over to their table and ask if the invitation is still open. They all stand up and we follow them outside.
“My name’s Fionn,” he says as he steps up next to me and takes my hand.
I look up at him, he’s even more gorgeous up close.
“I’m Riley.”
“I’m glad you and your friend decided to join us.” He smiles at me.
“We’re celebrating our boy here,” one of the guys at the table says as he slaps Fionn on the back.
“He’s chosen to leave us. We’re trying to show him he’s making a mistake.” Conley laughs.
Fionn laughs as we all walk to the bar. He hasn’t let go of my hand, and I can’t say I’m mad about it. He also keeps smiling down at me. Maybe I’m not ready to give up on finding someone just yet.
“What do you all do?” Daphne asks.
“We’re all garda síochána. I think in America, you’d call us police officers,” Conley answers her.
“Oh wow. That’s awesome.” She smiles at him.
“What do you do?”
“I’m a lawyer and Riley used to be one too. But now she’s going to be a business owner.”
“That’s a big change,” Fionn says.
“I wasn’t happy being a lawyer. Owning my own business has been my dream for a long time.”
“I hope your business is a great success.”
“Thank you.” I smile at him.
We grab a table when we get into the bar. One of the other guys starts to sit next to me. I hear a growl and turn to see Fionn glaring at him. He smiles at him and moves over.
“Did you just growl at your friend?” I whisper to him.
“Yes. He was going to sit next to you. That’s my spot,” he says.
I’m trying to tell if he’s joking, but I don’t think he is. The guy he growled at says something to Conley, which he laughs at. Then they both stare at Fionn and me. I squint at them and they laugh.
“Bathroom break.” Daphne smiles as she stands up and pulls me with her.
“Conley told me that Fionn’s been talking about you since they first saw us at the restaurant.”
“Fionn just growled at his friend because he was going to sit next to me. And you seem to like Conley.” I laugh.
“He’s funny. And that accent. Holy fuck. Would you mind if I went home with him? I don’t really want to bring him back to our room. I mean, if he offers.”
“Of course I don’t mind. Just text. Remember our deal.”
“I won’t leave without telling you. And I’ll let you know where I am. You better do the same.”
I laugh. “I’m not going anywhere. Except to have a drink and then go back to the hotel to pass out.”
“Uh huh. I’ve been watching Fionn. I don’t think you’re leaving without getting something from him.” She laughs.
“I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. You are the craziest woman I know.”
“Yeah, I know. But that’s part of my charm.”
I take her hand and we go back out to the group.
“They really are a handsome group of guys,” I whisper.
“And those accents. Damn.”
I nod as Fionn turns and looks at me. It’s like he knows that I’m close and that makes me smile even more.
There’s a tiny part of me that’s sad that I can’t have someone like Fionn.
I can tell he’s a great guy and any woman that ends up with him will be the luckiest woman alive. And now I’m a lot sad.
Fionn
Riley. I want to ask her where she’s from, but I don’t want to sound like a creeper. I couldn’t help myself earlier when I took her hand as we walked to the pub. When Lochlan tried to sit next to her, that was the first time I’ve ever wanted to hit one of my brothers.
“How long are you staying in Ireland?” I ask Riley as she and Daphne sit back down.
“We leave in two days,” Daphne answers
“So where do you two live?” Lochlan asks.
“We live in Chicago.”
And suddenly I’m even more excited to move.
My girl lives in Chicago, that’s not far from Lake Renegade.
Which means I can see her again. Right as I’m about to tell her about where I’ll be, the guys start ordering shots.
And the night goes by faster than I would like.
Next thing I know, the pub is announcing last call.
“I don’t want this night to end just yet,” I say to Riley.
“I’m pretty sure the pub is making that decision for us.” She giggles.
I lean towards her and kiss her.
“I’ve wanted to do that all night,” I whisper as I hold her close to me. “Come home with me.”
Riley nods as I kiss her again.
“I need to let Daphne know where I’ll be.”
I give her my address so that she can give it to her friend.
“I promise I’m not a serial killer.” I chuckle as we all leave the pub.
“You better not be.” She giggles. “I think Daphne’s going home with Conley. Is he a good guy?”
“Yes, he’s a great guy. And yes, he’s single.” I smile.
“How did you know I’d want to know all that?”
“I can see how much Daphne means to you and you don’t really know us. So it makes sense that you’d each want to make sure the other’s safe. I also know Conley’s address, so if you want, I can give that to you too.”
“I’d appreciate that.” She smiles as we head out.
I give her Conley’s address and mine too.
She tells me that she’s texting my address to Daphne and explains it’s something they do for safety.
I like that they look out for each other.
I’ve decided that I’ll tell her all about my family and Lake Renegade in the morning.
When we get to my apartment, I watch her look around.
Most of my things are packed up and will be shipped off in a few days. I walk over to her and kiss her.
“I don’t usually go home with someone I just met,” she says softly.
“And I don’t bring women to my home. But you’re different and I want more time with you.”
I pick her up and take her to my bedroom. I lay her on my bed and look at her. She’s so fucking sexy. I get her shirt off and kiss her. She helps me get her bra off and I kiss my way down her body and get her out of her jeans.
“You’re beautiful,” I say softly as I nibble at her inner thighs.
I slowly make my way to her pussy and I lick her slowly.
“Holy shit, Fionn, yes.” She moans.
I slowly slide a finger in her as I swirl my tongue around her clit. She starts grabbing my hair as she grinds herself on me. Holy fuck. I suck harder as I feel her coming.
“You have too many clothes on,” she says as she pants.
I smile as I stand up and pull my shirt off slowly. I watch her lick her lips as I pop the button on my jeans.
“Let me help you with that,” she says as she looks up at me and helps me pull them down.
She hooks her fingers into my boxers and pulls them down too. She runs her hands down my cock and slowly wraps her lips around the head of it. Fecking hell. I start to pump into her mouth. The sounds she’s making are going to make me come faster than I’d like. All the alcohol isn’t helping either.
I stop her and grab a condom out of my nightstand. For once I’m glad I have them, even though I’d rather not with her. She helps me slide the condom onto my cock as she smiles. I hover over her, lining my cock up with her pussy.
“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” I say softly as I push into her.
“Oh god, Fionn.” She moans.
She grabs my ass and stops me from moving.
“You’re bigger than anyone I’ve been with. I need a second,” she says as I kiss her.
I can feel her pussy clenching my cock and it’s driving me fecking crazy.
Finally, she loosens her grip on my ass and I start to move slowly.
I watch her as I move, wanting to memorize every moan and smile.
I pull out and grab her legs, dragging her to the edge of the bed.
I hook one of her legs onto my shoulder and push back into her.
“Oh fuck, yes.” She gasps.
I moan as I move in and out of her. It’s like fecking heaven. She’s my heaven and I don’t want to lose her.
“Fuck, I’m going to come again,” she cries out as I move faster. I reach down and rub her clit, I can feel her getting closer and so am I. I want to feel her come with me.
“Come with me, mo fhíorghra,” I growl out as we come together.
I slowly put her leg down and pull out of her.
I go to the bathroom and dispose of the condom.
Then I grab a washcloth and take it back out to clean her up.
She hasn’t taken her eyes off me yet. When I’m done, I lay on the bed and pull her to me as I wrap my arms around her.
I want to tell her how much I want her in my life.
This, after only one night. But I don’t want to scare her.
I still plan on telling her I want to see more of her in the morning when we get up. Even if I can’t tell her yet, I plan on showing her that I want to be with her. I hold her tighter as we fall asleep.
