We kiss under the autumn moon and the stars that twinkle around it, the breeze rustling the leaves our only song. I love him. I do. And I pour it into my kiss.
He tugs me closer, and his erection hits my belly button. His hands roam my back, and I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling on the hair at the nape.
Out of breath, he breaks the kiss, grabs my hand, and takes me into the parking lot. “Where are we going?” I ask.
He doesn’t answer me. Instead, he heads to his car, opens it, and pushes the passenger seat back. The gears in the seat whir until it comes to a complete stop. He takes a seat, unbuttons his pants, and pushes them down. My eyes go wide when he pulls me onto his lap, my dress riding up my thighs and bunching at my waist.
Gathering up on my knees, I shut the door, slide my thong aside, and don’t waste any time sinking down onto him. We groan and I start riding him immediately. Desperate. Needy. A final union for our declaration. I can’t get close enough to him, but I try when our lips find each other’s once more.
His hands fall to my hips, guiding me, and mine find his chest, steadying myself as I rise and fall on him. We moan intoeach other’s mouths, our breaths fanning against each other’s cheeks. It doesn’t take long for my abdomen to coil tight.
“I’m never letting you go,” he whispers against my mouth.
“I know,” I whisper back, and then I fall apart, my pussy clamping down and squeezing him tight. It’s the strongest one I’ve ever had, and I break the kiss in ecstasy. His mouth works across my jaw and down my neck, and he moans deeply as he clamps his teeth on my shoulder and cums inside me.
When we’re both spent, we rest our sweaty foreheads against each other. We chuckle under our breath, and I open my mouth to tell him something, but a knock on the window startles us both.
We look over and find Dustin standing there, a look of rage on his face.
“Shit,” Reid whispers.
Dustin snarls at him, turns on his heel, and walks away. That’s when I see Ivy standing a few feet away with a pained expression on her face.
CHAPTER 26
REID RATHE
“Dustin, wait!”I shout as he heads into the building. He says nothing, and I rip the closing door open and stomp after him. “Dustin!”
He whips around to face me. Face contorted in rage, he advances and punches me in the jaw so quickly that I didn’t see it coming. “I said to leave her alone. I told you! And you didn’t listen!”
I put up my hands, my jaw aching. “We were going to tell you?—”
“When?” he shouts, his fists clenched at his sides. “Because I know my sister. She doesn’t sleep around, Reid. This has been going on for a while, hasn’t it?”
I look down at my feet and cross my arms over my chest. “Yes.”
“That’s what I thought,” he growls. “Fuck you.”
My gaze lifts to his with a frown. “Why is it so bad that I’m dating your sister?”
“Because!” He throws up his hands. “When—not if—you break up, I’ll be forced to be in the middle. I’ll have to choose: my best friend or my sister.”
“We aren’t going to break up.”
He laughs without humor. “That’s what everyone thinks.”
“We love each other, man.”
I was hoping that that statement would calm him, get him to see reason, but it just fuels his anger. His cheeks stain red. “I can’t believe you. I thought we were friends, Reid. I thought I could trust you. And then you go behind my back.”
He turns and starts to head up the stairs. “Dustin,” I call after him.
He waves me off. “Leave, Reid. Fuck off.”
And then he disappears up the next flight of steps, leaving me there reeling. What the fuck just happened? Did I lose my best friend?
I tug my hair, curse loudly, and kick the bottom step. My foot throbs as I turn around and leave the building, finding Avery and Ivy outside. How the hell did this go from the best night of my life to one of the shittiest?
