Road to Destiny (Scorpio Stinger MC Book 5) by Jani Kay

a comfy couch and beside it stood a bookshelf filled with some of my favorite titles.
    The room was triple the size of the one we had occupied till now and even had a decent-sized kitchen counter with a microwave, fridge, and basin. A small desk with my laptop and a beautiful old lamp completed the picture.
    “Do you like it?” I could sense the anxiety in Ryder’s voice as his gaze met mine.
    “Like it?” I closed the distance between us and threw my arms around his neck. “No, I fucking love it. You definitely managed to surprise me.”
    “Anything for you, baby. Anything to make you happy.” Ryder’s grin widened, and I reached up to caress the small crinkles around his eyes.
    “ You make me happy.”
    Ryder’s lips burned down on mine as he walked me backward towards the bed. As the back of my knees touched the mattress, I let myself go, free falling with Ryder following me down.
    He let out a groan as he collapsed on top of me.
    “You okay?” I breathed, worried about his injury.
    “Yeah, it’s nothing,” he said. “I’m a tough fucker, remember?”
    I caressed his cheek as I smiled up at him. “You are,” I agreed, deciding to play along. “My tough bad-ass biker boy.” I pulled him down for a kiss. “Thank you.”
    So this was what Ryder had got up to when he’d left our other room. The faint smell of fresh paint still hung around even though the windows were open and the aroma of fresh flowers filled the air. I’d never imagined he was spending his time doing this for me, especially when he had so much on his plate already.
    “Words are cheap, Princess. Show me. Show my cock how much you love me.”

    P ulling the earphones from my head, I turned on my side to face Ryder.
    He was propped up against the pillows beside me, flicking through screens on his tablet. I lazily opened one eye and glanced toward the clock. It was close to midnight and I’d kind of dozed off while listening to soothing music, but as usual, my bladder had woken me.
    I needed to get up and go to the bathroom, but first I wanted to steal a glimpse of my man. His expression was serious, and he had a deep frown between his brows, his jaw working as he clenched down on his teeth.
    My hand ran softly over his hard, ripped chest. He turned his head and smile down at me.
    “Hey baby, I thought you were asleep.” His voice was low and oh so sexy.
    I rubbed my eyes and smiled at him. “I can’t believe how easily I fall asleep these days. Must be my body adjusting and working on growing our babies.”
    Ryder laughed. “Must be your thing when you’re pregnant. Remember last time? Every time I switched the TV on you fell asleep on top of me. Not that I’m complaining . . . it’s kinda cute.”
    Peanut . I rubbed at the pang that speared my heart before pushing the memory of losing that baby away for the moment. This time I’d keep my babies from harm.
    Resting my chin on Ryder’s chest, I looked at him from under my lashes and grinned. “Yeah, and what about the strange cravings? Do you know what I’d kill for now?”
    “No. I’m sure you’re going to tell me, though. What’s it tonight, baby?”
    “Wanna guess?”
    “Hmmm . . . let me think. You want my cock all night long—that’s right, isn’t it?”
    “Cock is okay, but it would be so much better with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream all over it so I can lick it off.”
    Ryder’s lips parted slightly as he stared at me. “Fuck. That just gave me a raging hard-on. I’d love for you to lick and suck my dick, and I don’t mind it being covered in ice cream. It’s kinda kinky.”
    “Well, biker, what are you going to do about it? That is the question. No ice cream, no cock-sucking.”
    Ryder pushed the sheets to the side. He wasn’t joking. His cock was long and hard and throbbing. I licked my lips and reached for it, but before I could touch him he’d rolled out of bed.
    “Hold that thought. I’m going to be right back.” He grabbed his jeans
