I nodded my head, and I was about to head off to go upstairs when he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. He looked into my eyes, and then his eyes drifted down to my lips. I purposely licked them, and he let out a moan.

“Jesus,” he whispered.

He glanced down to my chest that was now heaving up and down from the excitement of the way he was looking at me. He took his finger and ran it along the edge of my bra. My whole body shuddered under his touch.

“Are you cold?” he asked me in a whispered voice.

I slowly shook my head. “No,” I whispered back.

His eyes snapped up and met mine. I wanted him to know that it was his touch causing my body to react this way. He gently moved his finger down to my stomach. I’d never in my life felt the way I was feeling right at this moment. I needed him to touch me before I combusted right then and there.

“Reed…” I said as I placed my hands on his chest.

He barely slid his finger along the edge of my panties, and I let out a moan that I’d tried so desperately to hold in. The next thing I knew, he was down on his knees, slipping my panties off. My breathing was getting faster and faster as I willed him to kiss me down there. When he kissed my belly button, I threw my hands into his hair and dropped my head back.

I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long.

“I have, too, Courtney,” Reed said.

I snapped my head down and looked at him. “What?”

He looked up and smiled at me. “I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long, too.”

Holy shit! I hadn’t realized that I’d said that out loud.

He lifted up my leg and put it over his shoulder as I reached back and held on to the kitchen island.

Yes! Oh God, yes!

When I felt his hot breath on me, I wanted to yell out, but I bit down on my lower lip. Then, his tongue swiped across my clit, and my whole body jerked.

“Oh God, Reed.”

“Courtney, I want to make love to you first before—”

I grabbed on to his hair and pulled it. “Please, Reed. I’m going to die if you don’t do this. Do you want me to die?” I pleaded, sounding so desperate, but I didn’t even care at this point.

He let out a laugh. “Well, that would really suck if you died on me right now.”

“I know, right?” I panted out.

Then, he buried his face into me, and I let out a moan. He sucked on my clit as I screamed out his name. The moment he slid his fingers inside me and moaned, I lost it. I began calling out his name as one of the most intense orgasms of my life ripped through my body.

Holy shit. “Oh my God. Oh…Reed…I can’t…oh God.” Holy hell, I can’t even form the words to say how incredible this feels.

I could practically feel myself squeezing his fingers. Once I was finally coming down from my orgasm, I felt my leg giving out on me. Reed was up so fast, and before I even knew what was happening, he was carrying me toward the stairs.

I got my wits about me and said, “Reed, the dogs.”

He let out a sigh, turned, and quickly headed their way.

“These fucking dogs are going to be the death of me!” he yelled out.

I laughed as he reached one hand down and let the dogs out of their kennels. They immediately began running and jumping.

“Oh, they want to play,” I said with a giggle.

Reed looked at me and said, “So do I! To hell with them. They can come and go out the dog door. I can’t wait another minute to be inside you.”

“Oh,” was all I could get out. I was still on the high from my orgasm.

Reed held me tighter in his arms as he carried me while he quickly walked back through the kitchen and opened the dog door for the dogs to go in and out of the house.

I buried my face into his bare chest as he ran up the stairs. I was nervous as hell but so incredibly excited.

“So strong, Mr. Moore,” I said with a chuckle.

He laughed as he pushed open the bedroom door. Reed was staying in the second master bedroom that was almost as amazing as Layton and Whitley’s bedroom. He walked over to the sitting area and sat me down on one of the oversized chairs. He reached for a blanket and put it over me.

“I don’t want you getting sick. Give me two seconds to get the shower going.” He kissed me on the nose and took off toward the bathroom.

I watched as he walked away, wishing I had pulled off his towel before he turned away from me. I threw my head back against the chair and tried to calm my beating heart.

Oh my God, what he just did to me with his mouth was amazing. The way he’s treating me like a princess…please, God, please don’t let this be a dream.

I heard the shower start up, and I slowly smiled. I’m about to take a shower with Reed. My stomach did all kinds of weird dips and dives, and I threw my hands up to my mouth to keep the scream buried inside. Oh. My. God. I’m about to take a shower with Reed! With excitement, I started moving my legs up and down so fast that I was sure if Reed were to walk in right now, he would think I was having a seizure. I closed my eyes and quickly said a prayer that I wouldn’t fuck this up.

I didn’t hear when Reed walked back up, but I could feel him, smell him. He always smelled so damn good, and it drove me insane when he got too close to me. Then, I felt his lips on my neck, and I let out a small moan.

“Reed…I’m so afraid I’m dreaming right now, and if I am, I don’t want to wake up,” I whispered.

“Oh, baby, trust me, you’re not dreaming,” he whispered back as he moved away from me.

I quickly opened my eyes, wanting to plead with him to keep kissing me. He held out his hand, and I pushed the blanket off of me as I took his hand. He helped me up and started walking backward toward the bathroom.

“Let me prove to you that you’re not dreaming.” He used his other hand and pulled off his towel.

I could finally look at him in the light and take it all in. I looked at his perfectly toned body and licked my lips. I tried pulling my eyes away to look back up into his eyes, but I couldn’t.

Oh, for Christ’s sake, Courtney, stop staring at his dick! It’s not like you’ve never seen one before!

Right then, he sneezed, and I snapped my eyes back up to his.

He whispered, “Damn dogs.”

I smiled. “I’d say God bless you, but”—I looked down at his dick again and then back up at him—“it appears he already has.”

The smile that spread across his face caused me to giggle. He pulled me to him and slammed his lips against mine as he quickly began undoing my bra. I hardly even remembered that I was still in my bra.
