Page 40 of Teasing You

“Well…I planned on us getting takeout from the pub on our way home so…”

“That sounds perfect.” And yeah, her voice went a little soft and husky and Reid found himself pushing down on the gas pedal a little harder to get them to town sooner.

But only because they were now firmly on the main road and off the mountain.

“Should we call it in now so we can just pick it up, or go in and order?” she asked.

“If you know what you want, we can call it in.”

It didn’t really save them much time since they were only ten minutes from town. And as they drove through, Reid wondered how things went with the fire, but opted to keep his thoughts to himself.

When they were finally back at their apartment complex, Ashlynn told him she’d meet him up at his place because she wanted to change and get washed up after walking through the lodge. “Ten minutes,” she said before kissing him softly.

Up at his place, he did the same. He changed his clothes and washed up before walking out to the kitchen and setting the table for them. When she knocked on the door, he called out, “Come in!” Placing the takeout containers on the table, he looked up with a smile. “Hey, that was…”

Ashlynn was standing there wearing a robe and, from what he could tell, nothing else. She had an overnight bag in her hand that she dropped to the floor. “I thought I’d get comfortable,” she said, sounding a little breathless.

Slowly, Reid came around the table and made his way over to her. Swallowing hard, he fought the urge to reach out and touch her. The robe wasn’t particularly sexy, but it looked like it was silky with a flannel lining, and it covered her down to her bare pink toes. When his gaze slowly traveled back up, he could see that her nipples were hard.

She took a step forward until they were almost touching. She nibbled her bottom lip, and he almost groaned. “How hungry are you?”

He shook his head, too afraid to speak.

“Do you think everything will reheat well?”

Now he moved, reaching out and tugging on the sash of her robe to close the distance between them. “You can think about food right now?”

Her laugh sounded sweet and sultry. “I can only think about you, Reid. You and me and…”

He never let her finish.

The kiss was brutal and unleashed. It felt like he’d been waiting for the moment forever and now that he knew she wasn’t going home and they had all night and all day tomorrow, he didn’t want to waste any time with small talk or pointless conversations. He wanted her—had wanted her for years—and now that she was finally here with him, he couldn’t wait any longer to have her.

Picking her up, he carried her into his bedroom and gently placed her on the bed before climbing up and covering her body with his. Her robe had gaped open and he caught a glimpse of white lace.

Ashlynn’s hand snaked around his neck and pulled him down for another scorching kiss and he was completely on board with it, but he had to see something first. When he lifted his head and breathlessly stared down at her, she was a little dazed. “Why…?”

Sitting up, Reid shifted slightly and finished tugging on the sash until her robe fell completely open. His mouth went dry and his hand shook as he reached out and reverently touched one lace-covered breast.

“You’re beautiful,” he murmured. “Sexy and pure temptation, and…”

“Reid?”

“Hmm…”

“Less talking, more kissing and touching.”

That’s exactly what he wanted, but…

Jumping off the bed he grinned. “I’m a little overdressed.”

Her smile grew. “Yes, you are.”

“Allow me to remedy that.” And as he stripped down to his boxer briefs, Ashlynn sat up and removed her robe, dropping it to the floor.

And then he gave her exactly what she asked for.

Exactly what she wanted.
