Maybe This Time(39)

“Do you want me to tell them to go?” he asks, frowning.

“No, no. Don’t worry about me. I’ll head into Reid’s room.”

“You sure? You know you’re more important. Family is more important,” he says, looking conflicted.

“You don’t need to kick them out on my behalf. I’ll go wait in Reid’s room. Enjoy yourself,” I say, kissing him on the cheek because he is just that sweet.

I make myself welcome in Reid’s room, burying myself under the black comforter. When I hear Reid’s voice saying, “What the fuck, Ryan? At least go into your room!” I start laughing. Reid opens the door, his face brightening as soon as he sees me lying in his bed.

“Fuck, you’re a sight for sore eyes, beauty,” he says, kneeling at the bed. He’s wearing a pair of track pants and a black wife beater, and he looks seriously fucking hot.

“I missed you, so I thought I'd come see you before work,” I say, leaning over for a kiss.

“You look so sexy in my bed,” he says huskily, moving closer for another taste. He sucks on my bottom lip, pulling away too soon. I make a sound of complaint, earning me his signature grin.

“I’m gonna have a quick shower. Stay right where you are,” he says, leaving the room. I flip over and sigh into Reid’s pillow. Reid and I haven’t had sex, and he seems to be content with taking things slow. I, on the other hand, want him.

Bad.

I’m thinking up seduction techniques when Reid walks back in, dressed in only a towel. I sit up in bed, my eyes devouring him. His arms have the perfect amount of muscle, not too bulky, and his chest is toned to perfection. His stomach is full of sleek lines and ripped curves, and as rivulets of water drip down his abs, I swallow hard, my mouth suddenly parched.

He clears his throat and my eyes quickly dart to his. “I forgot my clothes to change into,” he says, sounding slightly sheepish.

“Reid?”

“Yeah,” he says in a low tone.

“Can I touch you?” I ask in a soft whisper. He doesn’t reply, but takes the few steps between us, reaching the bed. I sit up on my knees, so my face is level with his chest. I place a soft kiss on the top of his ripped stomach, feeling his muscles tense the second my lips make contact with his skin. I lift my hand up tentatively, tracing the lines of his abs and running my fingers down his chest, our eyes staying locked together. He watches me through heavy lidded eyes, the blue shades darker than usual. I sink my teeth into my bottom lip, and Reid inhales deeply at the action. In a swift movement, his large hands grip my hips as he lifts me off the bed, and puts me down on the floor so I’m standing. His gaze is so intense, so probing.

“Are you sure you want this?” he asks, the low timbre of his voice thick and rough. The sound turns me on even more.

The word ‘yes’ barely leaves my mouth, when he takes my face into his hands, and kisses me hungrily. His tongue begs entrance, his rough moan penetrating the air when I open and let him in.

I can’t get enough of him.

His taste.

His passion.

He starts kissing down my neck, trailing hot, wet kisses that leave me gasping. I don’t think there's anyone that can kiss as well as Reid Knox. If this is a preview for more things to come…

Reid pulls away to lift up my top. His intense gaze rakes over my black lacy bra, and a growl of pleasure sounds deep in this throat. He unbuttons my jeans, and slides down the zipper. Licking his full bottom lip, he slides his thumb to the back of my jeans, and gently tugs down, until they sit just below my ass. My panties are plain black cotton, as I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen between us tonight. I feel shy for a moment, until Reid says, “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

I wriggle a little until my jeans fall to the floor, and I’m left standing in front of him in just my bra and panties. He traces the tattoo on my hip with a long finger, reading the words aloud. “Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.” His head comes up sharply, a curious glint in his eye. Before he can say anything else, I lean forward and drop his towel with a flick of my wrist. I gasp as I take him in, naked in all of his glory. Strong, powerful thighs, lean hips and… Holy shit, he's even bigger than I thought. I bite my lower lip, my gaze touching on his abs, chest and shoulders before reaching his amused eyes.

“Wow,” I say, my vocabulary leaving me. Reid leans closer, so our bodies are touching. We both moan at the contact, and I blush at his arousal pressed firmly against me. He is rock hard, velvet over steel.

“I think he likes me,” I say, flashing an innocent look at Reid.
