Stalking His Claim - Lucy Darling Page 0,11

lure out the hungry beast inside of me. I watch as if it’s in slow motion as she lifts up, pressing her mouth against mine. A growl leaves me when her tongue slides across my bottom lip. I try to deepen the kiss, but she releases her hold on me, falling back down onto the bed. She smiles up at me as though she is a sweet innocent angel.

“Goodnight, Reed.”

“Night, Tinsley.” I stand to leave her bedroom, flipping the lights off as I go. I don’t close her bedroom door. She doesn't ask me to either. I hate when that damn door is shut. I’d take it off the hinges if it were up to me.

I head back to my bedroom. I go straight into the bathroom, stripping off my clothes before turning on the water. I groan as I wrap my hand around my cock. I’ve been hard for so long my balls ache. It doesn't take me much to get there. I can still smell her on me.

“Tinsley.” I growl her name as cum shoots from my cock, hitting the tiled floor and going down the drain. Still my cock doesn't go down. I give up. I’ll never be satisfied unless I’m inside her. I turn the water to cold, letting it run down my body. It doesn't help either. I flip it off, grabbing the towel to dry off as I make my way toward my closet. I grab a pair of boxer briefs and pull them on.

When I step out of my closet, I see Tinsley sitting in the center of my bed staring right at me. I must be dreaming. I run my hand down my face. Nope, she’s still there.

“I want to sleep with you,” she says, biting her bottom lip.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Her shoulders drop. “Tinsley. I want to make sure it’s okay with you. You're more than welcome to sleep in here.”

“You did tell me you’d give me anything I asked for,” she points out with a small smirk on her full lips.

“I did.” She is going to kill me in the process. Sometimes I think she has no idea how truly beautiful she is. She is going to test all of my resolve tonight. She pulls the blanket back, patting the other side of the bed.

I make my way over to the bed. “Hold on.” I turn back around, realizing I’m only in my fucking underwear. I grab a pair of sleep pants before I return to the bed. I swear I saw a glimpse of disappointment on her face, but she doesn't say anything as I slip into the bed with her.

“Night, Tinsley.” I flip off the light before lying back down. I stare up at the ceiling, knowing that with her next to me, I’m not going to get a wink of sleep tonight. I can’t believe she’s in my bed. How many times have I fantasized about this? About her being pressed up against me as I slip my hand into her panties to feel how wet she is for me? Fuck. My cock throbs with the knowledge that her sweet pussy is so close. I wipe a hand down my face, trying to distract myself.

“Are you okay?” I feel her move closer to me.

“Yes.” I keep my voice level. I am far from okay. I don’t have a word for what I am right now, but it’s definitely not okay.

“It’s no big deal. Carly and I sleep together all the time.” She moves again, pressing herself into my side. I close my eyes. I’m not sure that's the same thing, but I don’t tell her that. This is far from innocent.

“Sleep. You have school tomorrow.” She rests her head on my chest.

“Thank you, Reed. You’ll never understand how safe you make me feel. You’re the only person that’s ever done that for me.” She turns her head kissing my chest. “Happy birthday,” she says before she drifts off to sleep.

I’m officially a bastard for allowing this. Even that knowledge doesn’t stop me from pulling her closer to me. Nothing will ever stop me when it comes to giving her what she needs.

Tinsley

The day drags by at a snail's pace. I can’t seem to concentrate on much else but how it felt to be in Reed’s bed last night. I want to go home already. I normally enjoy classes. They fill the time. Not today, though.

I can’t wait to get home and hopefully have
