Ryker Quotes

You comin’ or what?” Ryker returned. Layne glanced through Merry and Cal, nodded and followed Ryker. It would seem big, scary, badass, looking like a raving lunatic Ryker needed his BFF. Fuck.

Jesus, holy fuck,” Rivera murmured, coming to a quick halt and looking up at the tall, hulking, tattoo-sleeved Ryker. “Boy, what’d your Mama feed you growin’ up?” he asked. “Newborn babies,” Ryker answered, scowling down at Rivera.

I couldn't believe a man had written this! Ryker had a way with words and the way with words and the way my emotions got twisted in them was a gift only a true writer possessed.

You made him feel special, Ryker…” Ryker smiles as he leans back on the arm of his couch, still holding my hand. “He is special, Natalie…he’s yours.

I want to come all over you. I want to mark you as mine, so that every wolf in the pack knows who you belong to. ” - Wolf Shifter Ryker Black

I thought of the many times I saw that little boy in the azure eyes. The many times I wanted to protect him...save him. Ryker's eyes could turn from sky blue to storm clouds in seconds!

Gotta admit, I wasn’t committed to the task,” Ryker confessed. “But for a bitch in a tight tee with a great rack who makes twelve layer cakes and likes drunk sex, I’ll step it up,” he offered.

He was a ruffled haired, stubble faced, woman's dream, tangled in sheets. So I stepped away from the Ryker and went for coffee instead.

Grace...you don't understand...kissing is not just principle thing with Ryker. It's not a macho...Heman woman hater thing to him...or a way to avoid commitment. It's a defense or him.

Fuck me, shut the fuck up,” Cal entered the conversation, glaring at both Ryker and Devin. “Caked. Jesus. Seriously? Are we talkin’ about cakes?

Gavriel wanted to control me. Blaise wanted to see me. Callum wanted to save me. Ryker wanted to punish me.

He keeps doing that.” “What?” She laughs. “Kissing your forehead.” “Yeah . . . he does.” I can’t stop my grin. “Does it bother you? I can hear your smile, you know.” “Not really. It doesn’t, like, mean anything. It’s just . . . it’s Ryker.

When I'm near you, the air around you vibrates with life, Beck Ryker.

Miss Rasputin, what a delight to finally meet you,” said the vamp, speaking with only the faintest hint of an accent. “Let’s hope you still feel that way in a few minutes, Mr. Delacroix.” “Pierre, please. And may I call you Evangaline?” Pierre smiled at her winsomely. “No, you may not. My name is Ms. Rasputin to you.” Her answer took the vamp aback, but he recovered quickly and smiled again showing off his small pointed canines. Pierre’s dark eyes flicked over to Ryker in his feline form and he raised an aristocratic brow. “My, what a big pussy you have.” “You know what they say, the bigger the better.

It’s over now, Ryker.” “That’s the thing, Natalie… it’s never really over.

Two weeks ago he stopped playing fair. He showed up in glasses. Dark rimmed, sexy as hell, and totally unexpected. If someone would have told me that Ryker could get any more attractive, I would have said they were on crack. But I was wrong. Completely and totally wrong.

Criminal: You can suck my dick, motherfucker! Detective Bridges: You suck mine! [shoves barrel of pistol in the Criminal's mouth] An' you get used to it, cause you get to Rykers you're gonna find a lot of dick on the goddamn menu! Now grunt twice for yes! You through bitchin'?

I was trying so hard, and I was so frustrated, that I could not see anything beyond the pressure I placed on myself.” Ryker

Ryker was hers, and he was going to remain hers. Whether he liked it or not, they were going for it. Period.

You’re not dirty, or bad, or wrong, or anything that ass of a father told you,” he whispered, kissing the swell of her breast. “I honestly don’t know what you are.” “Ryker, please.” “Except mine.

You never say what I expect you to say, Roxanne. You never do what I expect, either. Each time I ask you to hang out, I wonder if you'll go off on me, or ignore me." "Ask me? You never ask, Ryker, you just take." He smirks, still staring at the fire. "That's only because I'm afraid you'll say no.

Gavriel copes by convincing himself he’s in charge. I get off on watching. Ryker is so scared of losing you again that he pushes his jealousy and anger to the side. And Callum? He likes it. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Baby...drummers bang all night long!

I want to make it clear, right here, right now. I own you.” Gavriel’s declaration sent an electric thrill down my spine. I’d always belonged to him, but hearing it rocked me. “Ryker, Callum, and Blaise? They're all going to have pieces of you; I tried fighting it when we were teens, but I'm not going to fight it anymore. I own each of you. You hear me? You can’t escape it.

I’d been blathering for the last twenty minutes about all that had been going down with me. Except for Ryker’s warning about my neighbors, I didn’t leave anything out. “Vi,” I snapped when she still didn’t say anything. “Quiet,” she returned. “I’m trying to stop myself from slapping you upside your head.

He couldn't retort back,

don’t like it when people surprise me. I put Ryker into a little slot marked overprivileged douche bag, and if he doesn’t fit there, then I’m not sure where to put him.

Ryker holds out a hand as I approach. “I’m Ryker.” I shake it, smiling. “Rylan.” He smiles back. “Cute. We kinda match.” Alice and Aidan. We’re adorable.

And then there was Ryker, Lord of Oryn, who had shadows that could kill a person without him so much as moving.

Look,” the Ryker copy said, “I’m you. I know everything you know. What’s the harm in talking about this stuff?” “If you know everything I know, what’s the point of talking about it?” “Sometimes, it helps to externalize things. Even if you talk to someone else about it, you’re usually talking to yourself. The other guy’s just providing a sounding board. You talk it out.

Ryker, I do trust you, but I can’t let your fear of losing me keep me from making my own choices. This didn’t exactly work out like I had hoped, but it was a choice I had to make." Kiah trilogy (2) The Tech War

When he drives under a lamp, his smile widens, and I notice for the first time a dimple under his right cheekbone. Oh no, this isn't good. A guy like Ryker Black cannot have dimples. It's wrong. And right. Too right.

All stress is self-induced, he reminded himself. It’s in your mind. You don’t need it. Lay it down. Panic is contagious. But so is calm. Stay calm. Do your work. Slow is smooth. Smooth is smart. Smart is straight. Straight is deadly.

Å, herregud! Hvor jeg skulle ønske styrkeforholdet hukommelse/glemsel var motsatt fordelt! Det må skyldes en grunnleggende skjevhet i mitt system at denne helt urimelige ubalansen får bestå. Der mine lykketreff av glede ryker ut med badevannet, oppbevares fadesene i et brannsikkert hvelv. Mine fineste stunder gnagd vellystig i stykker av tidens tann, mens munnfullene av nederlag forblir hele og ufordøyde, slik at jeg blir nødt til å svelge dem i meg gang etter gang.

Intimacy with Wright had seemed necessary; an essential human experience she didn’t think she’d get anywhere else, at least not on her terms. Ryker changed everything. Ryker, she wanted. Hell, a part of her needed him, and the rest of her just craved.

You know," she said, "if I stay the night I'm going to hate myself in the morning." Ryker shrugged, the hint of a smile creasing the corners of his mouth. "That's okay. If you stay the night, I'll probably hate you in the morning too. But that's a chance I'm willing to take.

In the distance, Amanda heard the sirens. Just a little bit longer. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was scared of dying before she had the chance to tell Ryker goodbye. In their capable hands, though, surely they could keep her alive long enough for him to return. They had to.

Yes…be yourself. Don’t go in that room and for one minute try to mold yourself to their expectations. I didn’t offer you this position to do the same exact job I did. I gave it to you because I want you to be better at it than I was, and you’re going to be because of who you are, not who they want you to be.

I don't force women to my bed, Danica." I shivered. Something about going back to the use of my full name had my skin tight, my breath bated at the sight of his feral grin. "They come willingly, and begging." "And is that something you want?" I was playing a dangerous game, egging on an actual dragon. A lesser shifter would have pounced on the teasing, the taunting between us, long ago. Not Ryker; he had all the time and patience in the world to play the games I'd been playing with him. "I can unveil the mark tonight if you want, but we both know it's already there between us. Everything after that can come as slowly as you need it to; in the end I already know you'll find your way to me as it was intended. I offer you my everything, Dani. My wings, my strength, my soul." He leaned down, his lips pulled into an amused curve as he rumbled in my ear. "My cock, if you think you're ready to cross that line and have me fuck you until you forget your own name.

They effectively gave us what amounts to $150 billion, and for what? To buy our assurances that we would stop enriching uranium for a decade? To rent our promise not to build any nuclear warheads? Why would we have said no? The whole thing was a farce. We were not even asked —how does the saying go? —to sign on the dotted line.

Ryker, you ride with Orlando,” Ryker mocked in a snarky voice as he turned to the other man. He gestured toward the Pinto with a look of revulsion on his rugged face. “How the hell does he expect both of us to fit into that tiny metal trap? Even if we could squeeze in, the tires will probably pop. In fact, let's just carry it over. It'll be faster that way.

paperwork, identification, is in place.

My orders didn’t mention consequences.

But no one—and I repeat no one—plays with my lady balls. That just won’t do.

You’ll forget his face and his name, but his hold on you will last forever because it’s unresolved.

He wasn’t happy. Not yet. He wasn’t peaceful, not entirely. But he was grateful for his life and the evidence of God’s grace, and for now that was enough.

sometimes people couldn’t be saved, no matter how much you wanted it, no matter how hard you tried.

Your house, huh?" "I've seen yours, I think it's time I show you mine." "Ya know, when people say that, they're not usually talking about houses." He chuckled. "Yeah, but we've already played that game. We can play it again later, if you like.

So if I take off my clothes and lay down on the table, you wouldn’t have sex with me?” He chuckled. “Nope.” “You sure?” "Yep.” He continued on with cooking while I stood there, dumbfounded. I didn’t believe him for a second. His back stiffened when I took off my shirt and pants and climbed up on the table." “I am so hungry,” I announced, waiting for him to turn around. When he did, he completely ignored me and sat down with his plate of food. He pointed to the counter. “Your plate’s up there.

They’d all be wrong, though, and I sincerely hope they believe him today. If not, fuck it. I have a job to do and skeptics, chauvinists, purists, and otherwise backward-thinking assholes aren’t going to stop me from achieving my goals. To turn this team into champions.

Uhh, Emerson, are you okay?” Ryker asked as he unfolded his tall frame from the pickup, flickering his attention to Bash. “She’s fine,” Bash answered for me. “I sure as hell am not!” I answered. "Are you going to stand there while this caveman carries me off?” Bash’s hand tightened across my ass in response. Ryker tilted his head and sighed. “Fuck my life, you two. You’re not in the same town for a week and you’re already at each other. Bash, are you going to hurt her? Rape her? Lock her away in a cave?” “Don’t be a pain in my ass, Ryker. Of course not.” “Emerson, are you honestly scared of Bash?” “What? No. He’s just an asshole! Put me down!” I kicked my foot and Bash grunted. Good. “Okay, well you two kids have a nice night and work your shit out. Emmy, give him hell.” He waved us off and went into the bar where his sister waited. “Looks like it’s just us, Emmy.” “You have to be kidding me,” I groaned.

CUTHBERT: No, they didn't warn you about my dancing. They didn't warn you about its sensual power. They didn't warn you that the gyration of my hips is as the gyration of galaxies, that the writhing of my limbs is as the writhing of your most ancient desire. They didn't warn you that to watch me boogie is to hear ancient drums beat an eldritch, irresistible rhythm in the most primal part of your soul. (ASHTON stiffens as CUTHBERT speaks. She turns and grips him with one arm around his waist and one behind his head, and kisses him hungrily.) ASHTON: Please don't do that tonight, in front of Marty and Susan. CUTHBERT: Of course not. An orgy breaking out on the dance floor is fun once or twice, but I've learned there is a terrible price to pay for my powers.

Antes de que nos diéramos cuenta de lo que estaba pasando. Era como el desenlace de un largo conflicto. Nos dejamos caer como satélites en llamas, abandonándonos a la gravedad que nos imantaba, abrazándonos y riéndonos. Ortega emitió unos jadeos excitados cuando mis manos se introdujeron en su kimono, con mis palmas acariciándole los pezones erectos, sus senos adaptándose a mis manos como si hubiesen sido diseñados para ello. El kimono fue cayendo poco a poco, después frenéticamente arrancado, dejando al descubierto una espalda de nadadora. Me quité la camisa y la chaqueta de una vez, mientras las manos de Ortega se debatían con mi cinturón, abrieron la bragueta y una mano de largos dedos se deslizó por la abertura. Noté la callosidad de cada base de sus dedos acariciándome. Salimos de la sala, no sabría decir cómo, y nos dirigimos hacia la cabina de atrás. Miré los largos músculos de sus muslos; yo era Ryker, era yo, porque me sentía como un hombre que por fin vuelve a casa. Allí, en la habitación cubierta de espejos, ella se acostó boca abajo, sobre las sábanas revueltas, se arqueó y yo la penetré hasta el fondo. Ortega estaba en llamas. Me hundí en un baño de aguas calientes. Los ardientes hemisferios de sus nalgas marcaban mis caderas a cada sacudida. Delante de mí, su columna ondulaba y se retorcía como una serpiente. El pelo le caía sobre la nuca con una elegancia caótica. En los espejos que nos rodeaban, Ryker se inclinó para acariciarle los senos, después las costillas, la redondez de los hombros, mientras ella se aupaba y volvía a desplomarse como el océano que rodeaba la nave. Ryker y Ortega, frotándose juntos como los amantes reunidos de una obra clásica. Sentí que el primer orgasmo la recorría, pero cuando ella se volvió para mirarme a través del pelo enmarañado, con los labios entreabiertos, perdí todo control. Me pegué a ella vaciándome hasta el último de los espasmos. Me desplomé sobre la cama y salí de su cuerpo como si naciera de nuevo. Su orgasmo continuaba.

help.’ ‘Can you get me out of here?’ ‘Not exactly.’ ‘So how can you help?’ ‘I... we can provide consular assistance. A translator for any interviews, a lawyer if you need one. And we’ll work closely with the authorities here to get you repatriated to Britain as soon as possible.’ ‘So what are you waiting for?’ Willoughby looked flustered. ‘It’s not quite that easy. We need to wait for the prosecutor to come back with their plan. At the moment we’re still waiting for the official charge.’ ‘I’ve not even been charged? And how long will that take?’ Willoughby rubbed the side of her neck. ‘That’s a good question. The system here is a bit different to back home, to say the least.’ ‘I’d never have imagined.’ ‘But, for starters, there’s something more pressing.’ ‘Which is?’ ‘We believe you’re British. That’s according to the information we’ve been given about your arrest, the communication we’ve had with the Mexican police and prosecution service, and… your accent speaking with me today.’ ‘I’m sensing a but.’ ‘We don’t know who you are. We don’t know your name

I pushed forward suddenly, the head of his cock teasing my entrance open in bliss. But a sudden jerk from Ryker left me painfully empty once more, and I whined in frustration. "Just say it," he teased. "Do you like it a little rough? All you have to do is say yes." Fine. Ass. "Yes," I hissed. "Yes, I do." Instant pressure hit me as he slid his length into me in one go. I was so wet, there was no friction stopping him as he filled me completely. Tight, hot, hard. I took in a sharp breath and he gave me a satisfied hum. "There now, that wasn't so hard," he mused. Smack. Ryker shoved into me just a little harder at the same time he smacked me right on the mark, and I screamed. I was so hot, and wet, and full of him that I could hardly keep myself from unraveling. Thankfully, his hands stayed firmly in place, helping to hold me still as he slid out again, only to thrust inside once more. "Fuck, Danica," Ryker rumbled. "Your pretty little ass is turning the hottest shade of pink." I was breathless as Ryker thrust again and again, pushing me higher and higher. Sometimes he would smack the mark again, and I was sure I would be feeling it in the morning but I couldn't bring myself to care. All I could care about was Ryker and what he did to me. I felt wholly and truly right with him, and my head was in a fog as the orgasm hit me hard. "Ryker!" I shouted as he thrust at just the right moment and all the tight muscles in my body came loose. Floating, floating and falling and clenching and dropping into a boneless heap. I was still reeling from the high he had started in me when I felt his hot release as well. Ryker came hard, gripping my hip as he shoved in as deep as he could. The hot, burning stretch of him shoving so hard coupled with the intensity of my own postorgasm shaking pulled another cry from me. When we were both spent and he was still over me, staring down in satisfied confidence, he leaned in with a light kiss. "Good girl, you take me so fucking well." My ass stung, I was filled to the brim, and I liked it. Releasing my hip, he slid out of me and I groaned at the fleeting feeling of fullness. When wetness trickled out of me, more than just my own arousal, I pressed my thighs together.

I need you to say it." Ryker's hot breath was on my neck, his hand on my hip, and he was ready to sink into me the second he got his answer. All I had to do was admit it. Or I could try to take matters into my own hands just to fuck with him. I pushed forward suddenly, the head of his cock teasing my entrance open in bliss. But a sudden jerk from Ryker left me painfully empty once more, and I whined in frustration. "Just say it," he teased. "Do you like it a little rough? All you have to do is say yes." Fine. Ass.

It's not your fault," she said. "Then whose fault is it?" Keith asked. "No one's. Sometimes things happen and it's no one's fault.

Ryker narrowed his eyes. “I was doing that before you were born, son.” “You were, like, eleven when I was born.” I paused. “I see your point.

You gotta be good, brother. People like us, Ryker . . . people like us, we can’t give up. We gotta show the world. We gotta show our kids. We gotta show ’em it’s okay. We gotta show our babies we can do it if we don’t give up. We gotta show ’em it pays off, it comes to you if you got it in you to wade through the shit. You’ll get the good if you don’t give up. You can live it if you just dare to dream.

drop the burrito on my plate again and consider it a total loss. I can’t be wrapping my lips around anything that makes me think of Ryker Grant’s penis. Bad. Plan.

If you betray me, I’ll have your head, shifter,” I threatened. The only thing preventing me from electrocuting Ryker where he stood was I remembered how he had been one of the only Night’s Guards who sincerely had been nice to me, and he had been a big reason I’d been able to escape the Institute. I dropped he shield praying he could really save Dash.

But for his grace, things could have turned out differently, many times.

Becca saw Ryker at the gym last night and he was wearing these shorts, and let’s just say she said his dick print looked massive. Cock-a-licious, to quote her properly.

Making a Choice God and Goddess, lay down your light So that I may choose the way that is right I must make a choice this very day Lend me your wisdom that I may choose the right way Daily

Ryker looked over my shoulder at Mike. “Nice hair,” he noted and I was thinking he wasn’t talking about Mike’s

Will Ryker be off house arrest by then?” “I don’t know,” Mike answered. “If he isn’t, we have to do it in his front yard so at least he can watch from the windows

You’re wrong about one thing. A fling wouldn’t be difficult, because it would be quick and secretive and over probably as soon as it started. You’d have little risk of ever being caught. But I don’t do flings. You would be way more than a fling to me.

Mitchell was a former army ranger who’d long operated in the grey area of society, both within the military and since retiring. He knew how to get answers to unwanted questions quickly and quietly.

¿Sabes qué hago aquí? Pienso en matar gente obviamente. Pregunta estúpida. Una vez me grabaron mientras mataba. Una periodista imbécil vino a Ryker’s con su estúpido equipo de cámara y me preguntó por qué sonreía. No sólo me gusta. No solo se me da bien. No voy a decirte que es mi idea del arte ni mierdas por el estilo. Cuando mato, me fortalezco. Mi cabeza se aligera. Me quito todo el peso de encima. Mi corazón bombea más deprisa. Y no hay esfuerzo. Todo se vuelve fácil. Soy más fuerte, más rápido. No hay gravedad. Veo más lejos. Lo sé todo. Cada vez que mato, me parezco más a Dios. ¿Puedes imaginártelo? Él crea, yo tomo. Tal vez ese sea el secreto de la religión, ¿no? Tal vez yo soy el nuevo Dios. Puede que matar a la velocidad que él crea me convierta en su único amigo. Qué idea, ¿no?”- Bullseye.

reconfirmed—less than an hour ago, in fact—

You can only be my daddy in the bedroom Ryker. Not in the rest of my life, or this won’t work.

My father built a kingdom, and Ryker has turned it into a dynasty since then. And I’m no longer just a princess, who sits by and watches from the sidelines. I’m a motherfucking Queen. I run the shit I was born to. You’ve tried and failed repeatedly to fuck your way into a throne, while I’ve earned every fucking step up into mine. We are nothing alike.

Chase’s jaw drops. Ryker hisses. “How the fuck does that happen?” Chase asks. Um. I don’t know. I honestly have no idea. “Not sure.” Ryker breathes fire. “How does he live with himself?” “He should be ashamed,” Chase adds, then gestures to a nearby booth. “We need something strong for this kind of horror story.

If her dress comes up another inch, I’m going to break your fucking fingers,” Ryker said in a soft tone that was at odds with the clear and unambiguous threat.

Chapter Twelve Ryker tried to formulate a possible scenario around the Darling girls disappearance, but there were too many missing

the night, the brighter the stars; The deeper the grief, the closer is God.

Is that why I’m here?” Ryker asked aloud. “Because it would be fun for someone else? To make a life and then experience it through them?

Chase whistles. “And I thought jerking off two dudes at once was your party trick.” A laugh bursts from me. “I guess I have two party tricks now.” “But keep the first one just between us,” Ryker says, without cracking a grin as he comes behind me, then slides a possessive hand up my back, curling it around my neck. Like he’s sending me a message. He doesn’t want any other men to share me.

before, the single time they’d made love. He’d focused on her, giving to her, never asking for anything in return. And she had taken, because she’d been too weak, too needy to do anything else. Val didn’t want that now. She smoothed her hands over his shoulders, savoring the texture of his skin, then gripping his biceps, she guided him up her body. He paused. “Tell me what you need. I can…” “Shh.” Val went to work on his clothes, pulling the t-shirt over his head, unbuttoning his jeans, easing denim and underwear down his thighs. He sprang free, and she held him, one hand on his shaft, the other cradling from underneath. “I’m not a victim,” she whispered. “I know you’re not.” “I don’t want pity.

For the very first time in my life, I can’t concentrate. I’ve never had a problem with it before, always able to put singular focus on any task I attempted. Even though I have an amazingly high IQ, I would never have accomplished what I have so far in life without the ability to funnel my thoughts with the precision of a drill team.

Be myself?” I ask skeptically. “That’s all the great Brian Brannon has to say to me?

Ena," Brett said. "Lady Ena, Ryker corrected from the doorway. Brett smiled. He couldn't imagine her wanted to be called anything but Ena, but he would call her anything that pleased her. The sharp look she gave her butler made Brett think calling her Lady Ena was out. Ryker, being his usual unflappable self, just looked at her as if he was in charge and she would go by her new title or else.

And that was when Ryker collapsed. One second he was standing, the next second his ass was to the floor, his knees bent to the ceiling, his forearms to his knees and his head was bowed between his legs. Merry, Cal and Layne all looked down at a big man brought low by a miracle.

It would seem big, scary, badass, looking-like-a raving-lunatic Ryker needed his BFF.

It’s amazing I didn’t become a narcissistic, self-centered asshole with as much pumping up of my esteem that you do on a daily basis.” Dad snickers. “As if you could ever be anything that was less than perfect.

No, Big Bang,” he says sarcastically but with a twinkle in his eyes. “I walk around parking lots and open random car doors for the fun of it.

And this is exactly what I mean by the fact that I don’t do flings. I’m the guy that loves relationships and everything that they mean. I like the comfort and solidarity of a partner. Even though Hensley betrayed me, I’ve never once given up on the idea of love and monogamy. Can I have that with Gray?
