She does exactly what I say and I have to bite back the groan that rumbles through me when her hands rest low on my belly. A little further down and they’d be on my cock that feels like it’s going to punch a hole in my jeans. I start my sled, the rumble rolling through my body, or that could be the giggle in my ear.
I slowly pull out, letting Joy get used to the feel of the bike underneath her and head toward my favorite spot on the property. My favorite spot with my favorite person? Bliss.
Joy
I try not to squeal too much, but I have no control over my body. Not when I’m plastered to Reid’s wide, solid body, the scent of him, clean and leather invading my senses as the bike rumbles beneath me causing delicious zings through my body. The wind whips my hair around and I’m glad I braided it, even if wisps around my face are blowing here and there. Taking a deep breath I let it out slowly, trying to slow my racing heart, but it’s tricky because I feel so alive. So free. Like all the crap that happened in my life is blown away by the breeze that flows over me and Reid.
Closing my eyes I slowly loosen my hold on Reid. I let go a little, sliding my hands back so they rest on his hips, then his back, then, when I’m confident that I won't fall off, I throw my hands over my head and hoot and holler into the fading light.Reid’s body vibrates in front of me and I just know he’s laughing at me. Not like Travis would. Reid laughs like my happiness in this moment infected him. We go over a bump and my hands shoot back around Reid’s waist as my heart jumps into my throat. He doesn't say a word, just reaches back and rests his large, warm hand on my calf, giving me a squeeze.
The bike slows and I swivel this way and that, my breath hitching when I notice the little pond, a tree with a huge branch overhanging, a rope hanging from it. There are wildflowers dotted here and there and a lush grass area that Reid pulls alongside.
“We’re here,” he murmurs once he cuts the engine.
“Where is here?” I ask, holding onto Reid’s outstretched hand as I try to dismount the beast.
“My favorite place as a kid. I would come out here when I needed quiet. Which was alot.” He chuckles.
He shuts off his sled, as I’ve heard the men call it, and holds out a hand for me to climb off. One of his hands grasps my waist to steady me as my feet hit the ground. I wasn’t riding for very long, but that doesn't seem to stop my thighs shaking a little. Perhaps I was gripping him a little tighter than I thought.
“You good babe?” he murmurs, gently running a finger down my cheek.
“Perfect,” I whisper in return.
His smile is breathtaking, and he moves me back a step or two before he dismounts, mischief in his gaze as he pulls a backpack out of one of his saddle bags. He busies himself and I take a couple of steps closer to the lake, the water glistening in the moonlight. Tipping my head back I close my eyes, taking a deep breath before blowing it out, my eyes fluttering open, a smile on my face as I stare at the stars. Reid clears this throat behind me and I turn, my eyes widening when I notice the picnic rug, candles and plates of delicious food.
“Oh my gosh,” I gasp out.
I don’t move. My feet are planted to the ground where they stand and I blink frantically to stop the tears from falling. Never in my life has anyone ever done anything so sweet for me. My chest feels tight and I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. My stomach swoops and flutters and my hands shake as Reid’s smile softens as he steps cautiously toward me.
“Babe?” His smile falters and I do the only thing I can think to do. I throw myself at him, my body hitting his hard chest.
“I’m sorry, no one has ever done something so nice…” I drift off as I sniffle into his hard chest, his scent calming me.
“That’s because everyone in your life was an asshole,” Reid growls, his hand coming up to cup the back of my head as he holds me to him. “No one in your old life ever deserved you, baby. Fuck, evenIdon’t deserve you but I’m going to work my ass off to try. Every day Joy, every day I will show you how you should be loved.”
Tipping my head back I stare into his eyes. The light too dim for me to appreciate the sky blue color, but I can see honesty and dare I say it, love. My hands rise of their own accord, cupping his face as I gently bring him down toward me so I can sip at his lips. Once, twice, I gently suck before he wraps his arms around me, angling his head to deepen the kiss and I let him. I give him entrance to my mouth, my heart, and my soul.
“Baby-”
I dive deeper, not needing his words, only needing his mouth on mine, his hands on my body.
“Joy?”
“I need you. Please.” I whimper, stepping back and pulling my jumper off over my head.
Reid swallows, then steps closer, stopping my hands on the hem of my shirt, “Let me, baby.”
My lips curl up and I lock my gaze on Reid’s face in the candlelight, staring at him in wonder as he peels off my clothing, one layer at a time.
“Fuck me, Joy, you are beautiful.” He says reverently as his lips brush every inch of skin he’s uncovering until I’m standing in nothing but my underwear. My jeans, boots, shirt and sweater all in a neat pile beside dessert.
I inhale, pull back my shoulders and put on as strong a voice as I can muster given I’m talking to the man I love in my panties while he’s fully dressed. “Your turn. Please.”
“Of course, my love.”
My gasp is loud in the air, my chest even tighter. Not because I’m anxious or afraid, but because I think my heart is so full it's fit to explode. Well, it is until Reid’s body is revealed, one firm muscle at a time.
“Oh holy shit.”
