Page 32 of Seducing Cinderella

Just as she finished her incoherent babbling and dropped the phone to the couch, Reid’s hand slid down to her sex. Without pause he plunged two of his fingers deep inside her while his free hand reclaimed one of her breasts. A myriad of sensations crashed over her all at once. His rough palm abraded her taut nipple and his fingers ignited toe-curling pleasure deep within her as they thrust over and over into her body.

Her head pressed into his chest as she arched her back and brought her hands behind her head to sink her nails into his shoulders. He hissed in a breath at her ear. She knew he loved the sting from her nails and teeth and she was no longer shy about giving it to him. He reciprocated with a pinch and pull of her nipple, the sensation like fireworks in her chest.

“Ah, yes!”

“That’s it, baby. God, you feel so hot. Come for me. I want to feel your body sucking my fingers deep inside you.”

His words were the accelerant on the flames of passion burning within her, causing an instant wildfire. With one final thrust of his hand and the feeling of his teeth sinking into the taut cord in her neck, Lucie flew apart, shattering completely until she was sure she no longer stood on the normal plane of existence with the rest of the world.

When she finally managed to turn around, she eagerly stroked him over his shorts, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away. “Hold on.”

“What’s wrong?”

“As much as I wouldloveto finish this, if I take you to bed—or to couch, floor, kitchen table, or anything else—I’ll keep us there all day and we’ll get nothing accomplished.”

Lucie felt herself nod even though her body was giving the order to pounce. “You’re right, we have…uh, things, like…”

The corner of his mouth hitched up. “Exercises, training, boring stuff like that.”

“Right, yes, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Why don’t you go do whatever you do in the mornings, and you can meet me in the workout room when you’re done.”

She wasn’t entirely sure she was retaining everything he said. She still felt like she was coming down from an incredible high, but she figured it was probably safe to agree with whatever he suggested. “Excellent idea. I’ll just go do…that.”

He chuckled low in his chest—his wonderfully bare, ridged with muscles chest—and turned her toward her bedroom. Then with a light slap on her ass, he ordered her to get a move on.

Somehow they managed to keep from groping each other while they finished his PT exercises and their regular workouts. Then they spent the rest of the day figuring out how to alter Reid’s normal strenuous training exercises to accommodate his healing injury so he could stay in fighting shape.

After taking her shower, she sat on the couch waiting for him to finish his so they could relax together and watch a movie after a long day. She’d intended on reading, but the only thing in her mind at the moment was a splendidly naked Reid Andrews with water sluicing over his body. As her body heat shot through the roof, she turned her book sideways and turned it into a fan.At least I’m using it for something.

When she heard the bathroom door open, she quickly put the book back in front of her face and pretended to look for all the world that she hadn’t just been on the path to imagining doing wicked things to him under the hot spray of water. Nope, nothing lewd going on in her brain. She was simply doing some light reading.

Totally. Innocent.

“Whoa. That book must have some pretty hot scenes in it.”

Her eyes flew up to his as he took his seat next to her on the couch. “What makes you say that?”

“Because your cheeks are flushed and you have a crease in your lower lip from biting it.” He cupped her chin in his hand and used the pad of his thumb to drag it across her swollen lip. “Which I now know is something you do when you’re incredibly turned on. Are you turned on, Lucie?”

So much for totally innocent.

…

“I’ve been wanting to seeWarrior.”

Reid dropped his hand and smiled at her abrupt change in topic. He couldn’t help it. One night of curl-your-toes sex and an orgasm in her living room later and she was still shy with him.

She put her book on the end table and fidgeted with a couch pillow. “It’s about two brothers who enter the same MMA competition and have to fight each other.”

“I know. I’ve seen it.”

“Oh,” she said, frowning.

“But I’d like to see it again. I watched it with several of the guys from the gym and they were pretty obnoxious, so I missed a lot of it.” That wasn’t necessarily true, but a small lie to smooth the crease in her brow was worth it. Her smile was a bonus.

“Great. Okay, you cue it up and I’ll make the popcorn.”
