Stalking His Claim - Lucy Darling Page 0,27

look over to see it on the floor.

“Are you hungry?” She gives a small shrug. “Will you go out to lunch with me? Then we can go home” I graze my thumb across her hard nipple.

“If you don’t stop, we’ll never get out of here.” She grabs my tie, pulling me down for a kiss before I pick her dress back up for her. I fix myself as I walk over to the bathroom in my office and wash my hands. When I come back, she’s trying to clean up the mess I made.

“Leave it.” I hold my hands out for her to take. My fingers tangle with hers as we head for the door.

“People are going to see us.” She looks down at our hands. I only hold her hand tighter, not wanting to let go. I want everyone to know she’s mine. I hope in time she’ll want the same.

“Okay,” she agrees. She gives me her dimple. Thank fuck. The quicker the word gets around that she’s mine, the better.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Rita asks me as I snag a soda out of the fridge.

“I aced my finals?”

She stares at me. I don’t say anything else. I go about popping open my soda and taking a drink. I did kill my exams. It helps when you have someone as smart as Reed helping you. Even though he had really distracted me more than he had helped.

“Fine.” She turns back around, continuing to chop the vegetables. I’m not sure what to say at this point. Reed and I have been doing this little dance for almost three weeks now. He still hasn’t taken it further, and I don’t understand why.

Just when I think he’s finally going to take me, he ends up coming on me then rubbing it into my skin. I know it turns him on when I push some inside me. I can see it in his eyes. He gets this possessive look on his face.

I set my drink down when I hear the front door open. He’s home early. I try not to rush to him, knowing Rita is watching me. That lasts until I round the corner and am out of her sight. As soon as I am, I run and jump into his arms. His briefcase hits the floor as I kiss him. He growls into my mouth, scooting me back so that my back is pressed against a wall.

“I want you to greet me like this every day.” His words spark a hope in me that he wants this thing between us to last forever.

“If you come home early I will,” I say, out of breath. I hesitate when I hear someone clear their throat. I turn to see Rita standing there. Reed doesn’t bother to put me down.

“Rita,” he greets her. I bite my lip, not sure what to say.

“I’m going to start dinner.”

“Not tonight. I have other plans. You can go home early if you like.”

She gives us a smile. “I think I’ll do that.” She turns, heading back toward the kitchen.

“Sorry,” I whisper.

“Nothing to be sorry for. Told you I want to come home like this every day.” He carries me down the hallway into his bedroom. He lays me down on the bed, caging me under him.

“I missed you.” I pull him down for a kiss. He gives me what I want, his mouth meeting mine. I pull at his clothes, wanting to feel us skin to skin.

“I couldn't stop thinking about you. So I figured why only think about you when I could just go home and have you.” His mouth comes down on mine again. I moan, raising my hips to get friction.

“Reed, I need more.”

He stares down at me. That same look he gives me when I push his cum deep inside of me. I try to tell him with my eyes that I’m ready. That I want him. That there is nothing that he could do that would ever change my mind.

“I can’t stop.”

“I’m not asking you to. I want this.” He’s worried that I’ll regret this. I won’t. I’ve been his my whole life. “I want my first time to be special. I know you’ll give that to me.”

He closes his eyes, looking almost pained. “I love you. I want you to know that. I’ve always loved you.”

My heart flutters. I hope he doesn’t mean he loves me like I love Carly. The way he’s looking at me leads me
