Werewolf Boyfriend: Ryker Part 3 (complete)

“I think that’s the very last box,” I sigh as I take one last look around the old place. I hand the box over to the mover. Del is staying with her grandparents while the move is happening, and they’ll bring her down to Hearthway Hollow once things are done.

The move came as a shock to my friends and family, but it wasn’t a completely unexpected one. Ever since Del and I took the vacation to Hearthway Hollow, we had both been enamored by the place. It also didn’t help that I had met someone while I was there. Ryker Guillermo was a chef in the town, and one of the many werewolves living there. During the few weeks I stayed, Ryker and grew very close. After Del and I went home, Ryker and I continued to talk, and we texted constantly. We video chatted a lot, and he had even come up to visit for a long weekend. 

Despite this, we agreed to go slow due to all the circumstances surrounding me. I had Del, I was still grieving the passing of my husband, and I wanted to give Ryker a chance to understand my health issues. I had dealt with Crohn’s since I was a child just to top things off, not to mention a bit of PTSD, and conversion disorder when my stress gets extremely bad.

It’s been a few months and I feel the need for change, so after discussing it with Del we decide to move to Hearthway Hollow. Ryker was my rock through everything, and he got me all the information I needed, helped me to find a house, and made a stressful situation a breeze. Del was even signed up for school in the fall.

Just as I was getting ready to leave the house, my phone rang. “Hello?”

“Hi,” Ryker sighs. “How is everything going on your end?”

I break into a big grin. “Just getting ready to head out with the movers,” I tell him. “How are things on your end?”

“Fine, fine,” he chuckles. “Shahan and I just finished emptying the last truck you sent. It’s heading on back now.”

“Ya’ll work fast,” I chuckle.

“Yeah well, Billy and a bunch of others came over to help out. You know? All the good neighbor sap.” Ryker grunts, and I hear the crackle of plastic. “You are really going to owe me that massage now, young lady.”

I laugh as my cheeks blossom bright red. “Did you talk to Kai yet?” I ask. “About the job?”

“Oh yeah, he’s extremely excited to have you join the team. Says he can take more time off for his boyfriend now,” Ryker laughs. “But he says he’s ready to have you start in October just like you asked.”

I sigh with relief. “It’ll be nice to get back to work again. While Del is in school I won’t know what to do with myself.” I walk out of the house and head towards the moving truck.

“Well, uh,” Ryker starts off slowly, “you do know you’ll have a boyfriend right?”

My stomach flip flops around while my heart jumps into my throat. “Will I?” I giggle breathlessly.

“Oh, yeah,” he chuckles. “One that’s going to cook for you and everything.”

“Oh?” I get into my car to start the procession to Hearthway Hollow. “And what the heck is everything?” I start the car, and the phone connects to the bluetooth.

“Well, if you’re ready, I figured we’d mate,” Ryker’s voice comes through the speakers loud and clear. 

I’m relieved the movers are in the truck, so they can’t hear Ryker boom over the speakers. I hurriedly turn down the volume and catch my breath. “I’m not that kind of masseuse, you know?” I tease to play down my excitement.

Ryker laughs. “I can pretend I am if you’d like.”

I try to hold back a delighted squeal. “I’m trying to drive now! You need to behave just a little bit so I can get us out of here.”

“I’ll let you be then, because I’m way too excited and I won’t behave at all, so-” he sighs. “Be safe, Zara. I can’t wait to see you.”

“Me too,” I murmur softly. “I’ll be home soon.” I hang up the phone and guide the movers towards Hearthway Hollow. We do a straight shot, stopping a few times for the usual food and breaks, but we end up in Hearthway Hollow late that night. 

Ryker comes out of the house with a great big grin on his face. He rushes out, grabbing me in a bear hug while lifting me up in the air. “I’m so glad to see you!” He kisses me, and I have not felt this good in a long time.

“I’m so tired!” I whine. “And hungry.”

Ryker kisses my cheeks. “I have all that covered.” He leads me inside, where he has a small table set up with chairs. There’s food laid out, along with candles and drinks. “It was hard timing taking the food out of the oven, I didn’t want it to get cold. But I think I got it just right.”

Ryker pulls my chair out for me as I sit down. “Oh, wow,” I gasp. “This is so nice! Thank you!” I tilt my chin up to receive another kiss.

“I also have the bed set up for you too. I had no idea where you kept your blankets and shit, so I had Amelie help me pick some out.” He sits down beside me to serve food. He loads my plate with a some sort of orzo dish, kebabs, and some sort of cheesy melting ooze that I’m sure Del would go nuts for.

“This is so sweet,” I say with tears in my eyes. “I can’t believe you did all this.”

Ryker beams as he pours me more wine. “I wanted to make it up to you,” he murmurs. “I didn’t get to do the courtship ritual as planned, but I wanted to do something.” He sits back in his chair. “I couldn’t just get off scot-free.”

“You’ve done so much though.” I take hold of his hand. “I don’t mind missing out on a few dead deer.”

Ryker grins as he laces his fingers with mine. “It’s more than that,” he murmurs. “It’s about showing your mate how you can provide for them and take care of them.” He kisses the back of my hand. “It isn’t just you I have to prove myself to, it’s Del as well.”

“Del already thinks the world of you,” I say shaking my head. 

“Still, I don’t want her to question anything.” Ryker nods towards the hallway. “I got her something special made. When you’re done I’ll show you.”

I finish off my last bit of wine, then stand up. “I’m good, let me see.”

Ryker takes me to Del’s new room, where the boxes are still stacked, but her bed is set up already. The new frame around it is shaped like a shark. 

“Oh, my gosh!” I gasp, laughing softly. 

The shark is huge, with a hole in the side to let Del climb onto the mattress inside, and a small stepladder leading to a flat landing at the top.

“I figured we can either put another bed here, or Del can use it as a play area.” Ryker pats the top. “The mouth part has a small closet area for her clothes, or whatever she wants.”

“Where did you get this?” I gasp in awe. 

“Billy’s daughter Ellie made it for me. She’s a whiz with stuff like this,” Ryker says with a proud grin. His expression then morphs into one of anxiety. “Do you think Del will like it?”

I run into his arms, hugging him tight and nuzzling my face against his chest. “She’s going to love this!” As I look up at Ryker, we kiss. His soft lips brush against mine, and his beard tickles my cheeks. I moan softly as his hands rub down my back, then squeeze around my soft waist.

“Sorry,” he chuckles. “You’re probably exhausted from the trip. Come on, I’ll tuck you in.” He leads me to the master bedroom, where he has my bed set up with brand new, crisp sheets, and a dusty pink comforter with an antique floral print all over it. 

“This is nice,” I sigh as I get undressed. “I don’t get a shark bed?”

Ryker snorts, his eyes lingering on me as I slip my pants off. His strong hand touches my bare thigh as he fingers trace the line of my panties. “I figured you’d be happy having a wolf in your bed.”

My heart is hammering fast. “Well, uhm… when you put it like that,” I sigh.

Ryker kisses me. He places a shirt in my hands. “I brought you one of my shirts, will that suffice you?”

I bring the shirt up to my face, smelling his detergent and a whiff of spices. “It will.”

Ryker kisses me. “I’m going to go clean up. I’ll hop into bed with you when I’m done.” He turns the light out as he leaves.

I slip on his shirt and lay down in bed. I relax, but just enough to let my body sag. I don’t want to fall asleep right away; I want to be awake when Ryker comes to bed. Unfortunately, exhaustion wins out, and I pass out hard before I even hear the sink turn on.

I wake up in the morning as a crisp breeze drifts over me. As I open my eyes I see the window is open, letting in the fresh air. Ryker isn’t in bed, but his side of the bed is still messy. I get out of bed and stretch until my back pops. Ryker’s shirt rises up over my belly, and I tug it down.

I leave the bedroom, smelling coffee and bacon as I head into the living room. In the kitchen I hear Ryker moving around, so I peek around the corner. He’s half naked in the kitchen, just in his underwear. His broad back is turned to me, so I can see it flex as he moves. His underwear hugs around his butt, giving me a great view.

“I know you’re back there,” Ryker chuckles. He glances over his shoulder at me with a wink. “Good morning.”

“Muh-morning.” I step in. I see he’s wearing an apron as he cooks. “You didn’t have to do this.” I say as I walk into the kitchen.

“Nonsense. It’s the least I can do.” He grins at me. “Did you sleep well.”

“Like a rock.” I walk up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist while he cooks. I kiss his bare back, and a shudder goes down his spine.

“You’ve found my weak spot,” Ryker chuckles nervously. 

“Your back?” I giggle. “Really?”

He nods with a cute, awkward smile on his face. “I’m sensitive there, especially the nape of my neck and lower back.”

“That won’t affect your massage will it?” I brush my fingertips over his lower back just to watch him squirm.

Ryker bites down on his bottom lip, then gives me a glare. “It might.”

I kiss his back some more. “Do you have work today?” I ask.

Ryker shakes his head. “Today and tomorrow I have off. I wanted to make sure you got everything moved in.”

“You’re so sweet.” I finally release him so he can finish cooking. I make myself a cup of coffee, then sit down in the breakfast nook. 

After breakfast we get everything unloaded from the moving truck. A bunch of people come by to help, so it makes everything go by so much easier. By the end of the day I have all the boxes placed in the rooms they belong in.

“Del’s room, the bathroom, and the kitchen will need unpacking first,” I sigh to myself as I make a plan.

“When does Lady Del get delivered?” Ryker asks.

“Next week,” I sigh. “So getting her things moved in and ready is the first thing.” I sit down on the sofa and slouch. “It all seems like so much.”

Ryker sits down beside me and puts his arm around me. “It’ll be easy once you get started. Just seems like so much right now because it’s all new.”

I rest my head on his shoulder. “You’re so amazing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you.”

Ryker kisses the top of my head, gently brushing my hair aside. “I think I know,” he murmurs. “You don’t have to say anything.”

I place my hand on his thigh. “My massage table was unloaded,” I say. “How about I give you that long-promised massage tomorrow.”

Ryker’s cheeks grow dark red and he clears his throat. “You sure? It can wait. I know you’re tired and you want to get things done, so-”

I silence him by kissing him. “It’ll be a nice little break for both of us.” I run my fingers through his long, thick hair. “You’ve earned several of them anyway.”

Ryker’s smile is soft as he looks at me. “Only if you’re sure.”

“Positive,” I say with a grin.

The next day I wake up with Ryker’s arms wrapped tightly around me. As I start to move, he squeezes and buries his face against my neck. He whines softly, not wanting me to get up.

“Good morning,” I sigh. “Sleep well?”

His hot breath on my neck makes me shiver, but his teeth dragging down my skin make me weak. His hand moves up, squeezing my breasts gently for a moment. 

“Ryker?” I moan. “What’re you doing?”

“Sorry,” he chuckles softly. His hand moves away and rubs my belly. “Got a bit excited.” He kisses my neck. “The wolf started to come out.”

I squeeze my thighs together, feeling a heat start to tingle. “You could have let it out,” I pant.

Ryker squeezes me again. “Not yet,” he sighs. He then releases me and sits up. “I’ll go start breakfast.” He gives me a quick kiss. “Get a shower and enjoy your morning.”

I pout at him. “I would have enjoyed you.”

Ryker grins. “I’m not my best until I’ve had a good meal. You deserve me at my peak.” He kisses me again. “If you’re ready though, I’m ready.”

“After breakfast,” I say as I sit up. “I’ll give you your massage, and we’ll-” I bite my lip as I stroke my hand down his hairy chest. “We’ll see what arises.”

“It’ll arise, trust me,” Ryker scoffs. He kisses me again before forcing himself to go into the kitchen.

I get a shower, then set up the table so we can get down to business right after eating. Once breakfast is over, Ryker takes his own shower. I set up my supplies, lay a sheet over the table, dim the lights, and turn on some soothing music.

As I’m warming up my hands, Ryker comes out of the bathroom with just a towel around his waist. “So, uhm-” he says unsurely. “Do I just get up there… as is?”

“If you’d like,” I say with a smile. “No sense in getting dressed since it’s just me.”

“Just you,” he scoffs. He then drops the towel and hops up on the table.

My whole body has burst into flames. I only get a quick peek before he lays down, but I am pretty sure the werewolf isn’t the only monster in the room.

“What smells good?” Ryker asks.

“Candles,” I reply quickly. I take oil into my palms and rub them together. “It’s a lemon and basil scent.”

“Mm, I love that,” Ryker sighs. He then gasps as I take my hands to his back.

“Any problems spots?” I ask him as I rub the oil into his skin.

Ryker groans in his chest. “I, uhm…” he lets out a warbling moan as I reach his lower back. “Shoulders,” his voice breaks.

“Thought so.” I start to rub slowly. “It may hurt a little bit,” I warn him. I then start in, going for the deep tissue massage. 

Ryker lets out a cry, then groans as I continue. As I move down his back I notice him squirming a bit.

“Everything okay?” I ask. “You’re moving quite a bit, I need you to keep still.” I rub my hand down his thigh.

“Sorry, it’s just, uhm-” he pants. “A bit of discomfort.”

“Discomfort?” I gasp in shock. “Where?”

Ryker chuckles. “Oh my god, don’t make me say it, Zara!”

I then realize what he’s talking about. “Oh!” I let out a soft laugh. “Oh.” I kiss his shoulder as my hand moves between his legs. “Did you like it that much?”

Ryker grunts as my fingers squeeze along his inner thigh. “It’s you,” he moans. “Even if you had been poking me it would have happened.”

“Roll over then,” I moan into his ear. “Let me take care of it.”

His whole body shivers but he does as I command. He lays on his back, pressing his forearm over his eyes. He bites down on his bottom lip, waiting for my reaction.

I glide my eyes down his chest, his belly. I then see his cock laying against his stomach. It’s thick, very thick, with nice veins running along it. It quivers for a moment, lifting off his belly for a second before laying back against it. 

“Is this what they mean by big bad wolf?” I take his cock into my hand, squeezing at the base before I stroke up. I lean forward, kissing his chest and darting my tongue over his nipple. 

“Zara,” Ryker moans loudly. 

I kiss his neck, moving my hand faster on his shaft. Ryker’s mouth hangs open and he moves his arm away from his face. He sits up, capturing my face between his palms to kiss me. He bites my lip, sighing into my mouth as I pump his cock. 

“Get on the bed,” he snarls into my ear. “Now.”

My nipples get hard instantly at his low, raspy growl. He stands off the table, pushing me down onto the mattress. He rips away my underwear and pushes up the shirt. He kisses between my breasts, gently nipping my soft skin as he spreads my thighs.

“Ryker,” I mewl softly.

“It’s okay, right?” he pants. 

“Of course,” I whisper. “I can’t wait any longer.”

A big smile breaks over his face. He dips down, kissing me as his fingers find purchase on my lips. He growls into my mouth as his fingers slip around in my growing wetness. His mouth moves down my body until his head is buried between my thighs. I already notice he’s starting to shift, changing ever so slowly. Sharp teeth drag over my thighs, and I let out a loud whimper. His tongue presses inside me, and I reach down to grab the top of his head.

A low growl vibrates through me, making my eyes roll back. Ryker snarls and slurps, pressing his tongue inside, then licking over me. Once his fingers join the mix, I’m done for. They rub circles around my clit, my back arches off the bed, and I let out a long, pleasured yell.

Ryker rises up, his sharp blue eyes gazing at me as he licks his chops. “My mate,” he whispers. He cups his hand around my cheek. “Are you ready?”

I whimper as he cock rubs against my slit. I reach down, opening myself up with my fingers. “Yes,” I breathe. “I need you.”

Ryker crouches down, guiding himself inside as he kisses me. I lose my breath as he stretches me. I wrap my arms tight around him, letting him rock me with the pulse of his hips. My toes curl, and I lose my voice. I’ve not felt this way in such a long time. Ryker’s dark growls in my ear, and his soft fur pressed against my body, make me feel safe and desired. He pulses in me, sending a warmth through my body that causes my legs to spasm and my vision to go blurry.

He continues to snarl, rutting harder. I feel the knot at the base of his cock rub against my folds, slowly finding purchase before locking into place inside me. I bury my face in his neck as my hands claw down his back. Ryker shivers, throwing his head back with a powerful howl as he releases inside me.

For a moment, I’m gone, I’ve left this world to enter the next. It isn’t until Ryker is kissing me that I return. I gaze up into his gentle blue eyes as tears slide down my cheeks.

“You okay?” he pants.

I nod and whimper. “I’m just happy,” I sniffle

“I love you, Zara,” he whispers into my ear. “I’ll do everything I can to make you happy. I love you. I love you.”

“I love you too,” I cry.

We make love again not long after that, then again, and again. I don’t get as much work as I want done that week, but I am still able to unpack Del’s room. Her grandparents bring her home and have a tour of the new house.

Del just about goes feral when she sees her new bed. She instantly climbs on top and hugs Ryker around his neck.

“Thank you! Thank you!” she squeals excitedly. “I love you, Ryker!”

It’s enough to make me cry, but Ryker has to control himself from full on sobbing. “I love you too, Lady Del.”

Ryker moves in a few months later, giving Del and I time to get used to our home. Not like he isn’t there constantly anyway. In fact, it’s Del who asks him to move in with us.

“You should stay forever,” she says with a nod. “It only makes sense. After all, you and Mama will have a baby, and it isn’t fair to keep the baby away from anyone.”

We both have a laugh. After all, as much as I want another child it isn’t in the plan. But I should have trusted how perceptive Del was, because not long after Ryker moves in, I get the shock of my life.

The news comes from my doctor, who I’m having my first checkup with. “You should have told me your were pregnant, Zara. It surprised me!” she chuckles.

“I’m what?” I ask. “That’s can’t be right.”

“Oh,” she looks me over. “So it’s a surprise for you too? Well then, lets go over this now.” We have a long talk. Before it was thought that I couldn’t have another baby, but apparently, Hearthway Hollow has a way of working miracles.

Ryker is so excited when I tell him the news, he starts crying and hugging me tight. Del is acting smug, pleased as punch that she predicted this happening.

Ryker asks Del for permission to marry me, which Del agrees to under the strict rule that he not die. We have a quick marriage at the courthouse, figuring we would have something nicer once the baby is born.

Late in April, our son comes early. He emerges with a full head of hair and the softest, smallest cries I have ever heard. Del could kill with her screams as a baby, but our little Max is so gentle. Despite being early, he is a record weight and very healthy. It takes me a while to recover, just like with Del, but soon we are all home.

I wake up one morning to find Del curled up beside me while Max is asleep on Ryker’s chest. I feel so at peace, so happy, I almost think for a moment I am dreaming.

“I’ll make breakfast in a second. I don’t wanna bother them,” Ryker grins at me. 

“I can stay here forever,” I whisper. “It’s okay.”

“I can’t,” Del grumbles. “Dad, I’m hungry.”

The smile that blooms on Rykers face is more than I can bear. I was warned that Hearthway Hollow has a way of trapping you, but it also can perform miracles.
