Stalking His Claim - Lucy Darling Page 0,10

my feet. Okay, that’s not what I thought he was going to say. This man is so confusing.

“I don’t want to kiss you if you don’t want to kiss me.” The pulse between my thighs grows stronger when I think about his gorgeous mouth on mine.

“There isn't a man alive who wouldn't want to kiss you, Tinsley.” I feel myself blush more at the comment. I should ask for a kiss now.

“Can we watch a movie?” I ask instead. This might not be as easy as I thought it would be.

“Yes,” he agrees.

“I’m going to change.” I step back toward him, wrapping my arms around his neck. I pull him down. He comes. I give him a quick peck before I turn, running off toward my room. My lips tingle feeling him there. I can’t believe I just did that. I smile. This might actually work.

Reed

I don’t stop her when she lies down, resting her head on my thigh as she watches the movie. I don’t even know what she picked. I can’t concentrate on anything but her. I can still taste her innocence and strawberry lip gloss on my lips. My cock has been rock hard for hours just from the tiny peck she had given me.

I continue to watch her as she takes small breaths in and out. She’s been asleep for over an hour. The movie starts playing again but I still don't move. I don’t care that my back is stiff from not moving. Every second I get to spend with her is worth it. No matter what.

I lift my hand, running it through her long blonde locks. I still can’t believe what she’s asked me to do. My mind keeps drifting back to her kissing me. It was over before it began. I wanted to grab her and pull her more into me. Deepen the kiss until she was breathless and begged for me to do more. It took every ounce of self-control I had not to claim her as mine in that moment.

This is going to be one of the hardest things I’ll ever have to do. She’s going to test every ounce of control I have. It will be worth it. I wonder how far she will let this go. For all I know she could change her mind tomorrow. When she walked back into the room in her pajamas you would have thought nothing had happened. She plopped down on the sofa. Not even next to me. I was disappointed. That was until she crawled over to me, putting her head into my lap.

She is wearing one of my shirts. She often does with a pair of flannel pants. Tonight there are no pants. I can see her beautifully defined legs. Their smoothness begs for me to run my hand up them until I reach her cunt, but I don’t. Instead I convince myself she has shorts on. But when she shifts and moves around I don’t see any. Only bare skin.

She is trying to kill me. I told her she will have to make the moves. I won’t push myself on her. Not after all she has been through. It also hurts like a bitch that she wants to do this with me to get more comfortable around men. Is she considering me a test drive? Over my dead body. I am just going to have to show her being with me is the only option.

“Reed?” Tinsley’s eyes slowly open. “I missed the movie.” Her bottom lip comes out.

“We can try again tomorrow.”

“Promise? You won’t forget?” How does she not know that there isn’t a thing about her that I could ever forget? I know her every movement. I’ve memorized every facet of her.

“I promise.”

She lets out a yawn. “I guess I should get to bed. I have classes tomorrow.” I nod in agreement. Before she can move I pick her up into my arms.

“Reed!” She laughs, wrapping her arms around my neck. I carry her into her bedroom. I haven't been in her room since she moved in. The whole room smells like her. Her sweet smell surrounds me, reminding me how her soft plump lips had felt against mine. I lie her down in the bed.

“Thank you for the lift.” A sweet laugh comes from her. It goes straight to my dick. She still hasn't released her arms from around my neck. I’m leaning over her. I can feel her warm breath against my lips.

Her scent is trying to
