thrusts and tangles with mine. Desire and power slither up my body. He’s giving it to me, so I take it, moaning into his cinnamon coffee kiss.
“I need to be inside you. I wanted to go slow, to prove myself. But maybe this is exactly what we need.” Picking me up, he sets me on my silky sheets. His eyes are electric, blue and fiery.
“Reed, I have to tell you something.” My nails are latched on to his forearms.
He cocks his head stroking my hair out of my face. “Okay—what is it?”
“Um.”
He grins. Leaning in to pepper kisses on my eyes, he uses his tongue to trace a path down to my mouth. Jesus, how can I think when he does that? How did I forget the incredible feel of his lips? Our tongues twist and suck as we drink each other’s nectar. It makes me want things I shouldn’t.
I need to tell him. But I’m scared he’ll stop, so I close my eyes and let him take control, submitting to his experienced hand and magical mouth. He pulls back, lifting himself off the bed. Somewhat mesmerized, I watch as he pulls the T-shirt off in one jerk and unbuttons his jeans, making me squirm in anticipation. My core clenches and my thin night shorts are wet with my excitement.
He looks at me as he eases the jeans down, allowing me to worship the six-pack and V of muscles. His body has matured. He’s no longer a boy. The years of boxing and training with Jay have paid off.
I suck in some much-needed oxygen as he lets them slide down his legs and kicks them off. His thick, long cock juts up to his belly button almost as if it’s searching for me.
“Reed…” I swallow, trying to help my dry mouth. His eyes are so dark now; desire oozes from him.
“I have never wanted anything but you my whole life. I promise I will slow down next time. I need to be inside you,” he growls out.
This is the Reed I remember. I don’t know what is going to happen later, but right now I’m staring at my Reed.
It’s now or never. Maybe I should go along and let him do it fast and hard.
He grabs my chin. “After today, it’s only us, Tess. I hope you know that.”
I whimper. He pulls back. “What’s wrong?”
“I… I…” What is wrong with me?
“Sit up.” I do.
He pulls my thin nightshirt over my head and pushes me back down. His mouth attacks my hard nipple. He sucks it into his mouth and desire flares all the way down to my core. His teeth softly roll it with his tongue. Then he bites me. I groan not knowing how much I wanted that. His eyes shoot up to mine.
“I want to fuck you. Claim you so that you never leave me again.”
I almost remind him that he left me. But fuck it. The wetness between my legs is making me almost self-conscious. He hasn’t even touched me down there yet.
“God, these nipples have haunted me.” He rolls one roughly with his fingers, then lowers his head to my stomach and makes his way to my tattoo. His tongue licks the arrow all the way to my heart, and he sucks the spot the arrow is supposed to pierce. I arch into him, my body starting to move against his.
“Reed…” But he takes my mouth again, stealing my breath.
“No more talking, Tess. You’re not making sense, anyway.” He pulls down my shorts and I feel cold without his hot touch.
“So fucking beautiful,” he says, his voice gravelly. “I love you. I know I’m pushing you, but I can’t stop saying it.”
And I can’t think straight. I want him. So, I give in, knowing this is what I came back for. This is why I never let any other guys get close. I have always been his and I always will.
His strong legs nudge my thighs open. Suddenly I panic sitting up.
“What’s wrong, Tess?” This time he is demanding not asking. “Kitten? Tell me.”
My breathing is harsh. I must tell him. He is going to know somehow, and that will be worse.
Gasping, I try to take a breath. His large tan hands caress my breast, then move to my neck gently guiding me back.
“You need to talk to me. Or let’s talk after. Just feel, Tess. Feel how fucking good it is.” Taking my hand, he wraps it around his thick dick.
A moan escapes me as
