~ Excerpt ~
"Best view ever.” I spin around in the
direction of his smooth voice and immediately soak him in. He’s leaning against
the doorjamb with one leg crossed over the other and holding his arms behind
his back, looking as impeccable as ever. His shaggy brown hair is just the
right length, resting at the nape of his neck, just enough for me to pull. He's wearing a pair of deep blue warm-up
pants that hang loosely on his narrow hips and a matching blue jacket unzipped
at the neck with a tight, white T-shirt peeking underneath. Reed has become more toned and defined with
all the training he's been doing for NFL tryouts. I am definitely reaping the
benefits of that right now. A smirk crosses his face as his piercing blue eyes scan
every inch of my scantily clad body. I
know all too well what's on his mind.
His sensual eyes remain on me as he strolls toward me and pulls out a
box from behind his back.
“For you." He winks, kissing me
hungrily on the lips. He smells freshly showered and spicy and tastes like
minty like his toothpaste.
I squint my eyes at him, taking the plain
white box with a big red bow and ribbon from his hands. After agreeing for him to pick out my
Halloween costume, he's been like a little boy at a candy store. I catch the
smirk on his lips and the glimmer in his eye when I hold it in front of
me.
"What’s wrong?" He asks with a
laugh.
"I'm just worried about what’s in this
box."
“Don't be. Trust me. You’ll love it as much as I do."
“Well, isn’t that reassuring?" I grin,
poking him in his chest.
“No need to worry. You're going to look
delicious." The corners of his
mouth turn up wickedly. "You're with me and only me."
"Oh, aren't we being a little
possessive?"
“Maybe a little.” He looks down at me and
plays with strands of my hair. "Speaking of a little, I need a lot. Right
now,” he says, grabbing me by the waist. “Trick or Treat?” He winks.
“That all depends on what's in this
mysterious white box,” I reply with a quirked eyebrow as I set the box down on
the dresser. Closing the space between us, he groans in satisfaction when I rub
my body against his.
“Don't worry about what's in there. I need something sweet,” he growls, running
his lips down my neck as he gently backs me up toward the bed.
"First, I get to choose what you’re
going to be for Halloween." I give him a beguiling smile as I eye him up
and down, imagining him in a snug-fitting gray and blue uniform.
"Cop."
"Cop?" he replies, raising an
eyebrow.
"Yeah, I’ve always had a thing for men
in uniform,” I whimper, placing my palms flat on his chest and sliding them
down to the waist of his pants. "I have this fantasy of you frisking me
and cuffing me to the bed."
“Oh fuck I'm loving this fantasy of
yours," he moans. Grabbing my ass, he tightly presses me against his heat.
"I can definitely make that come true for you.”
"What the charge, Officer Reed?"
"Concealed weapon and indecent
exposure,” he growls into my ear as he lifts me and throws me onto the
bed. I glance at the clock and up at him
as he slips off his clothes and crawls over me.
"Or should I say decent exposure?" he rasps as he deftly
unclasps my bra, palming one breast while he puts his soft lips on the
other.
“Oh... baby. Do you think we have enough
time?” I gasp, trying to finish my thought, but it’s futile.
"Don't worry about Tommy and Juju.
They’re adults. I’m not rushing anything
right now. I want to practice, get into character. I'm going to be one bad cop,
baby," he says with a grin playing across his lips.
"Are you going to book me?" I
murmur innocently as his tongue skims over my lips.
"I want to fuck you instead. Is that all right with you?" He grins as
he spreads my legs with his body, cradling
himself between my thighs.
Staring into his eyes makes me want to
fulfill his every desire. I will not deny him.
"Yes.” I pant. “Yes.” My hands instinctively fist in his hair and I
pull.
"I think they call that assaulting a
police officer. He says in a gravelly voice. "You can do some hard time
for that."
"Hard, huh?" I bite his lower lip, grinding my hips
against his erection. "Throw the book at me, officer."
"I am doll,” he says through a smile,
as he lowers his mouth around my aching nipples. He sucks and bites on one and
then the other. I close my eyes, devoured by a sea of pleasure that only he can
give me. "You like how that feels?”
“Yes, baby." My gasp. "Please...
Reed…if you don't put your cock inside me right now, I'm going to die."
“I need to taste you first."
The mere sound of his words make me heady
and causes my body to go into a frenzy. Oh,
god. His declaration unleashes a torrent of need in me. My body can't wait
any longer. My next words come out in a
breathy whisper.
"Whatever you want. My body is your
temple."
"Good." He smiles salaciously, trailing his hand down
the length of my body. "I fucking want you so damn bad."
He blazes kisses down my body and then his
wet, hot mouth devours my clit. He
circles his tongue around my folds while his fingers move in and out of me.
"Fuck, you're so wet." he moans in ecstasy. I place my hands on his head, guiding his
mouth over me. His indulgence pushes me to the edge. Lifting his mouth off me, he plunges his
fingers deep inside me and rubs my nub with his thumb while he kisses my
stomach. He moves back down, replacing his fingers with his mouth. I can barely speak as his tongue fiercely
laps over my clit again and again, increasing the friction with every stroke.
There is no other feeling like it, and I scream in elation. I feel the
vibration of his mouth as he groans against me while I come. After a few minutes, he kisses his way back
up to my mouth as I fist his hair in my hands and tug.
"Baby, please, I want you inside me. I
want more."
He smiles and continues kissing me and
ignoring my pleas. His hard cock rubs against my stomach, clearly exhibiting
how much he needs me. I need him. I
lower my hand and start to stroke him, but he pulls my hands away and holds
them above my head. There is nothing I can do as his cock twitches against me.
I love feeling completely vulnerable with Reed.
"Believe me, baby, I'm going to give
you all of me," he moans, sliding his cock across my sensitive skin. My heart beats feverishly in my chest when I
feel him enter me. My hips impulsively rock back and forth against the heat of
him. He moves up and down, allowing me
to feel every inch of him thrusting deeper inside me.
He takes one of his hands and moves my head
to the side, deftly pulling my hair to kiss me and sighing into my mouth.
"You feel so fucking good." His voice is filled with lust as he keeps
his precise, focused rhythm, plunging inside me as I tighten around him. I mewl
when he pounds deeper and harder into me, digging my nails into his shoulders
as I rock my hips against him forcefully. "Does it feel good, doll? I want to hear you say it, baby. Tell me,” he
whispers into my ear. “Tell me you want me to make you come again."
"Make me come," I moan. “Please,
Reed." Every muscle in my body
instantly tightens as I stare into his eyes.
My heart is pounding, and I fist his hair in my hands as he works me so
good. Pressing my legs against him as
hard as I can, the orgasm rips through my body recklessly, consuming every bit
of me like only he could allow. He pants
hard and continues to thrust and pound until moments later I feel him release
his warmth inside me. A groan escapes
his mouth as he presses his powerful body on top of mine. He finds my lips and
gently collapses next to me where we lie quietly for a couple of minutes; the
only sound is our labored breathing.
"Can we try something new next time?"
I finally break the silence, pushing the hair away from his eyes and pulling
him closer to me so that I can reach up and kiss him again.
“Sure," he replies, kissing my
shoulder. “Whatever you want." I close my eyes as he caresses me in all the
right places. I never realized how much
my body yearns and craves his touch until tonight.
“Cuffs," I say, opening my eyes. The guarded, dark look in his eyes sends a
shiver through me. It thrills and frightens me at the same time. I want it that way. The pleasure and pain.
“Oh...shit. I like the sound of that,” he
growls. "I'm going to use you, worship you and love you. Please, let me
make you mine,” he whispers into my ear. “You trust me, baby?"
"I trust you." For some reason with
everything we've been through, trusting him comes so naturally.
