As if he can read my mind, his fingers hook into the waistband. With one easy tug, they join the rest of his clothes on the floor.
Cool air hits my exposed center. Realization slams into me that I’m half naked, exposed like I’ve never been before, with Reid staring at my most intimate area.
My heart races like it’s going to beat right out of my chest any second now.
Reid kisses a long trail up my leg, from ankle to inner thigh. Anticipation grows with each inch he gains and the breath stutters in my lungs.
“How long has it been since a man’s gone down on you?” he asks, settling himself between my thighs. His words send another tremor through my body. Wrapping one arm around each leg to spread me open to him, he looks up to meet my eyes. I stare back even as my cheeks heat and chest heaves.
“Answer me.” He blows a cold breath between my legs, teasing, taunting, but not going any further. My thighs pressagainst his shoulders, trying to close to get a bit of relief on my own.
He smirks at me as if to say,not a chance.
“Going to make me wait all night? Haven’t you realized yet, Penny? I’m never the first one to back down.”
I whimper as he gently grazes his fingers around the outside of my legs, making a tortuous path to the inside of my thighs, getting close to what I want, but never enough.
“Never,” I finally whisper and let my head fall back against the pillow.
“C’mon now,” he teases, leaning in close enough to inhale deeply and brush his stubbly cheek to my inner thigh. It sends shockwaves through my core. “Just use your words, answer my question, and I’ll stop this torture for both of us.” He shifts his hips, digging into the mattress, and I can picture his hard cock aching for relief just as badly as I am. The thought makes my mouth go dry.
Fuck. I don’t want to say it again, but I need relief soon. “I already answered.”
He looks up with hooded eyes. “What?”
“I told you, never. No one’s been down”—I gesture with my hand—“there. Except for you right now. Happy?”
He blinks, as if his brain is having a hard time processing my words through the fog of his own desire. But when he realizes I’m not joking, he puts more weight on his elbows and sits back on his heels.
“Are you being serious right now?”
I prop myself up on my elbows. “Yeah, I-I’m sorry, I should’ve said something earlier. I thought about it, but I—I didn’t want you to stop.”
“You’re a virgin.” Not a question.
I wince, but I’m not embarrassed by it. “My mother wasa teen mom and part of a very religious family and community. Having me like she did, unmarried and fifteen…she was shunned. My aunt and uncle tried to pass me off as theirs when she couldn’t take care of me, but you know how that turned out.”
Reid listens intently, his thumbs brushing gentle circles to my thighs.
“I refused to be a teen mom like her, so I waited.” And then by the time I was twenty and had made it, I didn’t have anyone special in my life. I’ve dated here and there but never had something serious enough to get to this point.
When I realize Reid hasn’t said anything, I slam my hands over my eyes and let my head fall back against the pillow again. “God, what a mood killer. I should’ve just told you it’s been awhile.”
He crawls up my body and pulls my hands away, pinning them at my head. “Never. Never lie to me, especially about something like this. Does this”—he grinds his hips against me—“feel like a mood killer?” He’s hot and hard, cock straining against the fabric of his boxer briefs. Liquid heat pools in my lower stomach with each brush.
“No,” I say breathlessly.
He smirks down at me. “I’m honored to be the first.”
Breaking out of his hold, I playfully shove his shoulder.
“Well, not tonight. I’m going to take my time with you, so let’s just test the waters, shall we?”
A kernel of disappointment plunks in my stomach. I must not hide it well because Reid grins down at me.
“Don’t worry, I’m still going to eat your pussy until you forget everything including your name, okay? But that’s it for tonight.”
Holy shit. My heartbeat roars in my ears. I’ve neverheard something so filthy uttered in my life. It takes me a moment to recover, to shoot back, “So what, are you going to ruin every other man for me?” My smile drops as his eyes lock onto mine.
