Ryder (Slater Brothers, #4) QUOTES

1 " I can’t imagine how hard it is to let someone be your shoulder to lie on, when all you’ve known is being the strong one.” Alec reached over and took my hand in his.
“You’ve always been strong for Bee, then for each of us when our individual bullshit came back to bite us in the ass. You’re incredible, Bran, and we don’t mean to pester you, we just want to show you that we’re here for you like you’re always there for us. "

2 " I have my moments,” he mused.
“They’re few and far between,” I
countered, grinning "

3 " Bronagh when she entered the room. She placed her hands on her hips and sighed, deeply. “I’m so fat.” She frowned. “It 58/668

took me a whole sixty seconds to get meself off the toilet.”

I snickered while Dominic tilted his head to the side.

“Fat?” he questioned. “And here I

thought you were pregnant. Man, you had me fooled.”

Bronagh gave him the finger. “Bite me, Fuckface. You did this to me. "

4 " Somethin’ about the lad draws her to ‘im, just like somethin’ about her draws ‘im to ‘er. You understand?”

“No, not at all.” Ryder exhaled. “You say the word ‘him’ and ‘her’ so messed up, do you know that? The letter H is just completely disregarded. "

5 " You got all that from how they are looking at each other?” Ryder questioned.
I glanced at him. “You didn’t get that from how they’re lookin’ at each other?”
He rubbed his temples. “This is a woman thing.”
“A woman thing?”
“Yeah,” Ryder said. “You all have a sixth sense about shit like this so I’m just rolling with it.”
I snorted. “That’s the smartest thing you’ve said all day. "

6 " I heard Dominic practice Bronagh’s breathing tactics, and I wondered if I’d be taking care of him in the delivery ward as well as her.
“I feel like I’m about to pass out.”
Yep, I’m definitely going to be looking after him.
“Keep breathing, you’ll be fine,” I assured him. “Where’s me sister?”
“Why’re you telling Dominic to breathe?’
Ryder murmured.
“He’s freakin’ out,” I whispered in response making him snicker. "

7 " You’re crazy.”
“No one sane is this awesome,” he said as he pointed a finger at himself "

8 " Don’t be afraid to do it harder,” she grunted.
“That’s what she said,” Alec said earning a laugh from Keela and myself.
“Have you ever thought of givin’ up sexual innuendos?” I asked him with my lip curled upward. “Because you should, you can be so disgustin’ at times.”
“I’ve tried,” Alec sighed. “But it’s hard, so hard. "

9 " There is no need for that language, or for the yelling, I’m on the phone with you, not a thousand miles away. I can hear you perfectly.”
He was such a dickhead "

10 " Bronagh,” I said, grinning at my sister.
“What is your favourite position in bed?”
Dominic looked at his lady, a smirk playing on his lips. Bronagh mulled my question over in her mind then after some serious consideration she said, “Near the wall, so I’m closest to me phone when it’s chargin’.”
I tittered at her answer, then looked to Dominic and burst into laughter. The look of hurt and betrayal was plastered all over his sculpted face.
“Kicking me in the nuts would have been less painful, Bronagh,” he muttered as he stood up and practically dragged himself, and his wounded ego, out of the room "

11 " We don’t live far away, I’ll hold her on my lap. Dominic has Bronagh.”

I heard male grumbling then a quick, “I call shot gun.”

It was Kane who spoke.

“The fuck?” Damien snapped. “Why do I have to sit between lover boys and the drunken sisters? "

― L.A. Casey , Ryder (Slater Brothers, #4)

12 " The conversation, as usual, switched back to sex.
“It’s difficult with you sometimes though, babe,” Dominic said to Bronagh. “I’m constantly torn between wanting to fucking destroy you, but I also want to bring you flowers and chocolates and treat you like a princess.”
Bro, TMI!
Bronagh didn’t bat an eyelid. “Why not do both?”
Sis, TMI!
“That right there,” Dominic snapped his fingers, “that’s why I love you "

13 " I’m just dropping her off.”
“Who off?” Ryder questioned.
That’s my cue.
I stepped into the kitchen with my head held high and when Ryder saw me, he jumped up to his feet and let the cup that was halfway raised to his mouth fall to the floor with surprise.
“Shit,” he hissed when the cup smashed to pieces then cleared his throat. “branna
I lifted my hand and lightly waved. “Hey, Ry.”
“Hi, hey,” he said in rapid succession.
“Hello.”
“Bro, one greeting is enough,” Alec mumbled "

14 " Welcome to CASA Slater! "

15 " His obvious nervousness at seeing me made
me feel less nervous about seeing him, and I was glad for it.
“Sorry for just droppin’ in unannounced,”“I said, and gnawed on my lower lip.
Ryder shook his head. “No, no, it’s more than fine. It’s great actually. Really, really great.”
“Ry,” Alec said, and when I looked at him I saw him trying not to laugh. “You need to calm down.”
“Calm? I am calm.”
He so wasn’t "

16 " Bronagh,” I said. “Chill on the sofa.”
“I can’t, me body is currently experiencin
some technical difficulties.”
With a raised brow I asked, “What does that mean?”
“It means her ass is sore and she can’t sit down.”
“Dominic!” my sister screeched,
horrified.
Alec high-fived his younger brother and said, “My man.”
Brothers. "

17 " There’s no one but you, Bran,” Ryder began, his chest puffed out. “I never thought I’d be the type to settle down and get married until you, quite literally, fell into my life. I never thought I’d want a wife, a family, and someone to love me as much as you do until you smiled in my direction and took my breath away. I never thought, after everything I’ve been through in my life, that someone as beautiful, smart and selfless as you would stick by my side through thick and thin, but you have. I’m not perfect, and I have my flaws, but you love me in spite of that. You have changed me, and my entire life for the better. You love my brothers, like they are your own, and you made us part of your family. You’ve given me purpose. Will you do me the greatest of honour of being my wife?”

It took the might of God and willpower I never knew I had not to burst into tears there and then. I squeezed his hand to the point of pain and said, “Yes!”

Ryder’s shoulders sagged with relief, and I heard practically everyone release a shaky breath. I looked to my family and friends and raised a brow, “You all thought after six years I was lettin’ him out of this church without puttin’ a ring on me finger, really? "

18 " Pregnancy stops you from having sex?” he asked wide-eyed before looking to Keela and saying, “We’re adopting.”
We all laughed. "

― L.A. Casey , Ryder (Slater Brothers, #4)

19 " When I first met Ryder,” she laughed, placing a hand on her side, “I thought he looked just like Matt Bomer only he was heavily tattooed and now I learn Alec wants to have his dirty way with the lad. He wants to give it to someone who looks like his big brother!”

I laughed and so did everyone else.

“The joke’s on you, Bronagh, because Keela already ruined Matt Bomer for me when she said the exact same thing in the Bahamas. So fuck you very much! "

― L.A. Casey , Ryder (Slater Brothers, #4)

20 " It’s 2016,” she replied to Keela. “Vibrators are perfectly acceptable life partners.”

Bronagh frowned. “We need to get you a boyfriend.”

I second that.

Alannah laughed. “Trust me, as long as I recharge me double A batteries, I’ll never need a man again.”

Dominic blinked. “Right now, as a man, I feel cheap. We’re more than sex machines, we have feelings too, you know?”

Alannah rolled her eyes. “Please, in school you fucked your way through the girls in our year for sport. Their hurt feelings never made you feel cheap, but I can guarantee your actions made them feel cheap. "
