Page 41 of Lost in the Current of You

I had never felt more wanted in my life.

He cupped my jaw and pulled me to him for a desperate kiss before he started to trail his lips down my body. His hands trailed down with them, sliding down the sides of my body to my thighs and squeezing them.

He knelt down, looking up at me with a mischievous grin, before he grabbed my hips and pulled me further forward on the basin. I gasped at the sudden movement but clamped my bottom lip between my teeth to stop the moan from passing my mouth when his lips dragged up my inner thigh, kissing the spot right at the crease. He repeated the other side, and I couldn’t help the small whimper that came out with it. He chuckled at that.

“I need you to try and be quiet. Can’t have the whole party listening to those pretty little moans meant just for me. Especially with your brother in the other room.”

My eyes snapped wide open to meet his, catching the smirk he gave me before he finally flattened his tongue against me. My skin felt alight with his words and tongue as I bit my lip to hold the moan trying to escape. My head hit the mirror behind me, back arching, eyes nearly rolled back with every swirl and flick of his tongue.

It was probably a bad time to think about it, but Liam had been the only other person to go down on me and to be honest, I don’t think he knew what he was doing, and I needed it over before he even started. But with Reece, it was like he knew exactly where to roll his tongue, where to kiss, and where to touch to ignite a fire in me and have every nerve in my body strung tight. He knew exactly what triggered me and had me melting right into his touch, begging for more.

His fingers dug into the skin of my thighs as he held them still over his shoulders. I squirmed under his touch, every nerve lighting up in my body as his tongue picked up speed. I looked down at the same time his eyes fluttered open to peer up at me, the green of them molten, making my heart beat faster. My hand flew to the back of his head, threading through his hair. I closed my eyes, tilting my head back again as the thread tethering my nerves together finally snapped. Lightening zipped through my entire body as my legs shook around his head. I couldn’t help the low moan that escaped my lips that time, but Reece smothered it by reaching up and closing a hand over my mouth.

My whole body was like jelly, slumped against the mirror behind me. My heart rate was beating out of control, and it didn’t help when I felt Reece’s hands slightly massage my thighs as I tried to control my breathing.

I had never felt anything like that. A buzz that consumed my whole body. A high that scattered my brain.

It wasn’t until I faintly heard my name being called, that the fog from the daze I was in lifted. I looked down at Reece whose eyes were still ablaze with lust and something more. His eyes devoured me and it seemed he hadn’t heard what had pulled me from our bubble. I almost let myself be pulled back in by the way he looked at me, but my name sounded again, and he frowned as his hands slid up my thighs.

“Dakota, wherever you’re hiding, you better get out here now. It’s time for cake.”

I rolled my eyes, and Reece chuckled as he kissed my knee and stood from his crouched position. I ran my fingers through my hair and rearranged myself while he did the same. I still felt the heat in my cheeks, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw that the flush had taken over my chest as well. My lips were swollen, lipstick smeared, my eyes glowed, and everything screamed suspicious. I swore under my breath, my eyes flicking to Reece’s in the mirror as he came to stand behind me. A small satisfied smile played on his lips when he noticed my smudged lipstick and dishevelled appearance. I took note of the leftover lipstick stains on his lips and how his hair stuck up in every which way, making the blush rise to my cheeks.

He bent his head to kiss the crook of my neck, sending a skitter of goosebumps along my skin, and when he looked up through his lashes, meeting my gaze in the mirror again, my heart pounded.

I carefully wiped the lipstick away as best I could with a cotton tip without ruining the rest of my makeup before turning to Reece and taking a washcloth to wipe around his face, making him grin down at me. He leaned his forehead against mine after I finished.

“You go first,” he whispered against my heated skin, his eyes the colour of the deepest forest, molten and burning. “I’ll come out a little while after.”

I frowned a little, his words clearing the rest of the fog away as I leaned back from him.

“You want to keep this a secret?” I whispered back, a tinge of hurt leaking through my words, no matter how hard I tried to mask it. Of course, he did. I mean, I did, too, if I was thinking logically. My brother was in the other room. But I hadn’t thought logically the whole night, especially when I let Reece shut the door behind us. I was in a post-orgasmic bliss I didn’t want to end, but the timer was ticking down to the seconds before I rejoined reality.

A crease formed between his brows as he watched me. “Well, yeah,” he mumbled as he stood to his full height. “You’re brother is right outside. He would kick my ass if he found out what I just did to his little sister. And if I’m being real, I’m betraying one of my longest friendships. Someone I consider like my brother,” he paused, my heart breaking a little as he did. “Don’t get me wrong, having my hands on you, my tongue, I don’t think I could get enough. If I could, I would come back for more and more.” His lips twitched at that, sending butterflies roaring through my stomach before his smile dropped along with those butterflies. “But it’s a luxury I can only afford once. Especially given our circumstances.”

I could not believe it.

“So, what? This was just a one-time, get it out of your systems, type of thing?”

“No! That’s not what I meant-” he tried to backtrack but was interrupted by another loud shout from the hallway.

“Dakota! I swear to god, if you’ve ditched your own party, I will never forgive you,” Alex’s voice reverberated through the door.

My eyes flicked back to Reece’s as I turned to face him, flashing a tight smile.

“Well, it was nice while it lasted, Reece.”

I knocked into his shoulder as I passed. When I opened the door, he muttered something in the most desperate tone that I’d heard from him.

“What do you mean?” Was the question, as if I was the one putting the distance between us.

I didn’t pay it any mind as I closed the door behind me and joined the party again.

I found Avery in the kitchen as she stood in front of the white box she had been hiding from me all day with everyone gathered around.

“Ah, there you are. I’ve been calling for you for five minutes. Where were you?” She wrapped her arm around my waist and squeezed me close.

I cleared my throat. “Just went to the balcony upstairs. Needed some air.”
