Ryder，24，Triathlon Racer

And omg, our choices matter so much and it is amazing how different our LIs are! I play on two accounts. One is loyal Wesley route, one is a hoe route where i was with Antonie, broke rules with Wesley and also with Ryan. Omg when Antonie found out he was sooo sad and pissed. (That’s the reaction i wanted from Jamal when i brought Andy back.)

And his reaction was consistent. He didn’t want to play a game with me at the party, refused to be my partner at the workshop, started to flirt with Amari instead even when i wanted him back! Everyone was furious with me as Lana said i was unfaithful to Antoine. Plus, since my MC is a bitch to everyone in the hoe playthrough, they all acknowledge it and behave correspondingly. I love that! It feels real!

(So real that i actually felt awful and created third account to do a loyal Antonie route, because he is such a sweet himbo and i hated breaking his heart)

I mean, Fusebox, is it THAT difficult to write a good story and branch it? To add deep conversations with every character and add REAL friends option (at least like in s4)? I was devastated when Santiago left today, cause i really considered him my MC’s bestie and got attached to him! And I love learning new things about Wesley and Antonie (and even Ryder) each week!

And yeah THTH unlike s6 has a great replayability value cause all on three routes I play the dialogues and the outcome are different!

Stepping off the plane, my heart raced with excitement and anticipation. The air was warm, and the sun shone brightly over Avalon Airport, but it wasn't just the weather making me feel this way. It was the thought of seeing Ryder again. Memories of our time together on "Too Hot to Handle" were still fresh in my mind-our electric chemistry, shared laughter, and the intense moments of connection that made my heart skip a beat.

As I made my way through the bustling terminal, my eyes scanned the crowd for a familiar face. Then I saw him— Ryder, with his easy smile and piercing brown eyes, standing tall among the throng of people. He started grinning as soon as he saw me, and I felt a rush of excitement bubble inside me that made me forget all the fatigue from my long flight. Fuck, I missed him. And it had only been a week since the show ended and we'd been apart.

"Jas, baby!" he called out, striding toward me with that confident effortlessness that had first drawn me to him. For the first time, I saw the effect he had on people, particularly women, outside the villa. The way they looked after him... and I couldn't even blame them.

"Ryder!" I exclaimed, squealing and running the last few steps. I dropped my bag to throw my arms around him.

Almost instantly, I smelled his familiar cologne scent and felt comforted.

He immediately wrapped me in a warm, strong hug, and for a moment, the rest of the world faded away. His hands wandered down to my lower hip where he jokingly squeezed the flesh under my biker shorts. I grinned cheekily into his chest.

"Damn, baby," he murmured into my hair, his voice a comforting rumble. "I missed my hands on you."

I laughed softly and slapped his back jokingly. "Is that the only thing you missed?"

I could almost feel his smirk as he shrugged nonchalantly. "I admit that I missed you a lot. Is that bad? How was your flight?"

I giggled at the change of topic. "Long, but worth it," I replied, pulling back slightly to look up at him. "I've been looking forward to this all week." For a short moment, I saw a soft sparkle in his eyes before he acted all cool again. But he couldn't fool me. My hands glided from his back to his chest where I touched him gently and felt him tense under my touch.

"Me too," he said, his eyes shining with sincerity and a hint of longing, never leaving mine before he captured my mouth with his and kissed me fiercely. Mhmm, so he wasn't afraid of PDA. I smiled against his lips and wrapped my arms around his waist again, to be closer to him. A few seconds later, which felt more like ten minutes, he let go of me and pressed his forehead against mine. His hot breath touched my face as he whispered, "Crikey, l've missed that taste." I just smiled at him before he spoke again. "Come on, l've got a surprise for you." He took my hand, and it felt so natural that I almost forgot this was the first time we were out in public together.

My curiosity was piqued as Ryder led me out to the parking lot. When we reached his motorcycle-a sleek, black machine that looked both powerful and elegant-my eyes widened in surprise.

"So that's your other girlfriend?" I asked, grinning. I walked around the bike and let my fingers wander over the smooth metal.

He laughed and shrugged. "Thought I'd give you a proper Aussie welcome," he said with a wink. "Ever been on a bike before?"

"No, but l've always wanted to," | admitted, feeling a thrill of excitement rush through my body.

"Well, today's your lucky day, love," Ryder said, coming my way to strap a helmet on my head and secure it. "Hop on, and I'll show you around Lorne. It's not too far from here, and the scenery is incredible."

I nodded, feeling exhilarated as I climbed onto the back of the motorcycle, wrapping my arms around Ryder's waist. Ryder took my hand and pressed a soft kiss on my knuckles and flipped down his helmet. Shortly after, I felt the engine roar to life beneath me, and we took off down the road, the wind whipping through my hair.

The ride to Lorne was breathtaking.

We sped along winding coastal roads, with stunning views of the ocean on one side and lush forests on the other. I felt a sense of freedom and exhilaration that I had never experienced before. No wonder Ryder loved this lifestyle. It was something else, really. I tightened my grip on Ryder, pressing close to him and feeling the solid warmth of his body against mine.

After a while, Ryder pulled over at a scenic lookout point. We dismounted, and I took a moment to drink in the view.

The ocean stretched out before us, its turquoise waves crashing against the rugged cliffs in a symphony of sound. The air was filled with the scent of salt and eucalyptus, and the sky was a brilliant shade of blue.

"It's beautiful," I said, turning to Ryder with a genuine, grateful smile.

"Yeah, it is," he agreed, but his eyes were on me, not the view. When I realized, my cheeks started to heat, and that made him grin before he wrapped his arms around me and plastered the back of my neck with soft kisses.

We walked down a path that led to a secluded beach, the sand warm beneath our feet. Ryder spread out a blanket, and we lay down together, listening to the waves and the calls of seabirds. I couldn't believe how clear the water was-almost clearer than the villa's. How was that even possible? I was speechless at the beautiful scenery before me.

"This place is special to me," Ryder said quietly, taking my hand into his and playing with my fingers gently. "I've been coming here since I was a kid. It's where I go to think, to clear my head."

"I can see why," I said, intertwining our fingers. "It's peaceful." For a while, we lay there in silence, watching the sun start to dip toward the horizon.

As the sky turned shades of pink and orange, Ryder looked at me, his expression serious as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I'm really glad you're here, Jasmine. I know things were complicated on the show, but l meant what I said. I want this to be it. With you."

I felt a flutter in my chest and buried my head in the blanket, a happy squeal almost escaping my mouth. When I lifted my head again, I smiled at him. I had been thinking the same thing, but hearing Ryder say it out loud made it more real and gave me the reassurance that he hadn't changed his mind on the outside. "I want that too, Ryder," I said softly. "I've been thinking about us a lot since the show ended. I feel like we have something special.“

He smirked, but then a slow, genuine smile spread across his lips, and I felt it in that moment. Yeah, my poor heart melted. "I feel the same way, Jas. I know it won't be easy, with the distance and everything, but I'm Willing to try if you are."

I had to smile sadly. I knew how his last long-distance relationship ended and how much it broke him. So the fact that he was willing to try it for me was a big surprise, honestly.

"But...I really don't think I can do long-distance with you," I said, smirking and leaning even closer.

Ryder cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing gently over my skin and then over my lips. "What are you trying to say, love?" he whispered. My eyes turned serious again for a second when I looked into his desperate eyes. "I want to live near you... or scratch that. I want to wake up next to you every day and, most importantly," I said, biting my lip mischievously as I leaned forward and whispered in his ear seductively, "I want to bend over for you to take me whenever you want to."

I felt him visibly tense under my breath, and I pulled back slowly, but then he grabbed my thigh, pulling me even closer to him, and my leg wrapped around his side while he caressed the exposed skin under my shorts.

"That filthy mouth of yours will get me in much more trouble on the outside than with that cone-blocker in the villa," he whispered hoarsely and then he kissed me. My hands wrapped around his neck immediately as he sucked on my bottom lip and then slid his tongue inside my mouth, exploring every inch, and I felt myself getting heated. Leaning further into the kiss to feel him deeper, my fingers pulled on his hair roughly and I used the wrapped leg around his hip as an excuse to fully straddle him. I did that by pushing Ryder to the side so that he lay on his back, then bent down to keep kissing him. His hands immediately found the hem of my shorts and glided under them, massaging my ass gently, and he grinned against my lips. "I am at your mercy, Jas."

It’s about damn time Ryder FINALLY stood up to Nora.

(On my hoe route, I chose the “fight her!” option and loved it. 😂 But I chose to be civil on my Ryder route, so these are screenshots from that)

So I finally got on the Ryder route and it was a pain tbh, but it was so worth it because he’s so sweet and expressing to the mc is so cute, and he is so whipped is crazy, since he has up walls and pretends like he doesn’t really care it’s adorable or is that just me?😭 I would have screenshotted more but it would take up this whole post!!
