Eventually, he smiled and said, “You—are the one person I’ve never worried about that with. As I said that day at the pizza place, you made it very clear you didn’t want anything from me.”
I let my gaze drift down his powerful body suggestively then brought my eyes back up to meet his. My hand ran down the length of his torso.
“Well, there is something I want from you right now.”
Those unearthly blue eyes of his flared and burned into me, his expression telling me he intended to give me everything I wanted. And then some.
There was no further question where this was going. After eleven long years of separation, Reid would be a part of me again, at least for tonight.
He lifted off of me and stood at the edge of the bed. Pulling my skirt down my legs, he dropped it to the floor then watched with hungry eyes as I removed my panties. He took off his own pants and underwear and socks, then rejoined me on the bed, kissing and touching me all over.
When I thought I couldn’t stand another moment of waiting, Reid positioned himself and entered me in a torturously slow, delicious slide.
Every nerve in my body came alive in a new way as I held him inside me. And then he began to move, slowly at first, building speed and intensity oh-so-gradually. There was none of the discomfort and awkwardness of our first time. My body had been tested, and Reid had undeniably gained experience.
At the twisting pain that thought caused me, I quickly put it out of my mind. It didn’t matter. He was here with me now. he was mine for tonight. I moved with him, wanting to give him every bit as much pleasure as he was giving me.
Reid whispered to me as he loved my body in deliberate, luxurious strokes. “God I’ve missed you, missed the feel of you. You’re so tiny, so tight, you feel so amazing. I never thought I’d get to have you again.”
He froze and squeezed his eyelids tight. “Hold on. Be still for a second. I don’t want this to end too soon—I want to feel this forever.”
After a few seconds, he began the rhythm again. The sound of his voice, the same voice I’d missed hearing so much, speaking to me in low worshipful tones, telling me how beautiful he found me, how incredible I felt under him, around him, had me thoroughly turned on.
Within minutes I was on the verge of a climax. I moved against him more strenuously, urging him to give it to me faster, harder.
“Wait Mara,” he tried to protest, and then he must have realized I was close because the pace and strength of his drive picked up.
“Yes, baby,” he urged through gritted teeth. “Yes, come for me. I could always make you come, with my hands, with my body grinding against you, even with all our clothes on, remember? But you had to be so quiet back then. Now I’m going to make you scream. Scream for me. Say my name.”
I did. My voice was ripped from my throat as he pushed me over the edge, relentlessly driving the climax higher and higher.
“Reid. Oh my god—Reid.”
With my name on his lips, he drove forward one more time and went rigid, shaking all over with the force of his pleasure.
After a minute, the tension left his body, and Reid rolled to the side, pulling me with him, keeping our bodies locked together.
TWENTY-SEVEN
No One Like You
Reid
I couldn’t move.
Correction—I didn’twantto move. Ever.
For the first time in a long time, I was exactly where I wanted to be, with exactly the person I wanted to be with.
Mara lay with her head tucked between my chest and shoulder, one arm and one leg thrown bonelessly across my body. I felt warm, heavy, and better than I had in years. Maybe better than I had in a decade.
“That was… that was… wow,” Mara breathed. “I didn’t think I’d forgotten anything.”
I ran my hand over her hair to her back again and again, laughing softly.
“Apparently, I must have, or I would have tracked you down to the ends of the earth and never left your doorstep no matter what you said. In fact, what the fuck have I been doing the past ten years, starting a business and working all the time? I should have been spending my time stalking you until you agreed to sleep with me again.”
She laughed, her ribcage moving against my side. She pressed her face into my neck, kissing it softly before responding.
