FOUR
REESE
I walk into the school gym and look around, searching for her. This day has felt like an eternity, and I know I can’t wait another second to get my eyes on her. Touch her. Finally know how soft her lips are.
The room has been transformed into a castle like mansion, complete with people who have been hired to perform tricks. The school goes over the top every year, but always raises a lot of money for charity with the event. Looking around the space, I see students, parents, and teachers playing games and dancing.
Scott tugs on my hand and points, and I follow his line of sight. Kim and Eric come up on his other side, and they see our exchange.
“Come on, Scott. Let’s go see if your dad will buy us some cotton candy.” Kim winks at me and they all step away. Scott is full-out grinning. He’s been my little wingman through all of this.
I scan the crowd again and spot the red and black. Of course Charity is wearing a in a dress that molds to her delectable curves. It’s got little hearts on it. I smile to myself as I walk over and look her up and down. The dress really does show off her lush full curves in all the right places and makes my mouth water. Her hair is down, and the soft waves frame her face. She’s got her glasses on looking more like a sexy librarian. The woman is a every man’s sweet wet dream, and I’m having a hard time walking a straight line to her.
I don’t know how I'm going to keep it together. My guess is I’m not going to be able to. I’ve wanted her for too long, and all this need is pushing forward, finally wanting out, and it’s going to take all my control not to take her on the nearest surface and finally find out just how sweet she really tastes.
She finally sees me and her mouth opens a little in shock before her full lips form a perfect little O. She looks me up and down, and then a smile pulls at her mouth.
“Don’t we make a pair,” I say, opening my arms a little.
I see her cheeks blush as she takes in my dark suit with the red tie that matches her dress perfectly. I’d noticed over the last few months she always favors red. I thought a red tie was a safe bet.
“You have any idea how sexy you look tonight?” I ask.
She blushes and bites her lip. The move is so innocent and sweet. I take a few steps forward, and she mirrors my move, stepping back farther into the dark corner. Whoever she was talking to earlier has stepped away, and now we have this private area all to ourselves.
There’s a wooden structure that’s been built for the event right beside us, and it’s perfect for what I want. I just need a taste. A small one, I lie to myself. A small anything with her will never do, but I still can’t stop myself. I reach out, taking Charity’s hand and pulling her back behind the structure. It offers us even more privacy, which is what I desperately need with her right now.
“Reese?” She says my name in a questioning tone, but there’s also a hint of excitement there. I can see it in her eyes. I’m starting to see I’ll have to push her a little. She needs it. And from her voice, I think she desires it, too.
Once we are hidden, I press her back softly against the wall and stand in front of her, shielding her from view if anyone happened to walk back here.
“Charity. I’ve wanted you from the second I laid eyes on you. Don’t tell me you don’t feel this pull between us.”
I move my palms to either side of her head, caging her in and not giving her an escape. I want her to know how serious I am about this. I would let her go if I saw even a hint of fear, but there’s none in her eyes. There is only desire filling the depths, and there is no way she doesn’t feel this attraction. It is so thick I can feel it roll between us and bind our souls together.
“But you’re…you. And I’m, well, I’m me.” She shrugs as if that’s some sort of explanation I should understand. Maybe she is right. She is her—all sweet and soft—and I’m a man who works too much and doesn’t know the first thing about having a woman of his own. She’s out of my league, but I’m not a big enough man to step aside. She’s mine and I’m okay with being a selfish bastard to have her.
She dips her chin, and I place my hand gently on her neck, using my thumb to push her chin up. I want her eyes on me when I tell her this.
“Exactly.” I see the glimmer of defeat in her eyes, and I can’t possibly imagine why she’s sad. “Charity, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. I can’t go more than two seconds without thinking about you and wanting to know every single detail of your day. And your life. You’re you, and it not only fascinates me, but calls to me like a siren in the night. Any man would be lucky to lick the ground you walk on. But they’ll have to do with disappointment, because you’re mine.”
“Reese, we don’t even know one another. This is insane.” She’s looking around, but there’s nothing else to see and nowhere else to go. “You can’t come in here and claim me like I’m a prize.”
I smile and brush a curl out of her face. “Oh, but you are, my sweet Treat. And I believe I’ve done just that.”
I lean forward slowly so she knows my intention. I brush my lips gently across hers, a whisper of what’s to come. For three heartbeats, that’s all I do, holding myself still, gently touching my lips to hers. And then a spark ignites, and we cling to each other, kissing like I’ve been away at war for the past ten years and she’s been waiting for me this whole time to come home. I don’t know who moved first, but her body is pressed as tightly to mine as mine is to hers. I push her back against the wall harder, and her legs go around my waist.
She tastes like sweet caramel, and I moan as her tongue comes out to taste mine. I wondered and worried for so long if this connection between us was one-sided, but now I know for sure that it isn’t.
I move my hands down her back to her round ass. I grip each cheek tight and rock her against me. A little moan leaves her this time, and I stop what we’re doing, pressing my forehead to hers, getting myself under control. I don’t want her cumming here.
“Not here. Not like this. I’ve waited for so long to have you in my arms, Charity.”
I take a breath and give her one last kiss before I lower her back to the ground and take her hand, locking her fingers with mine. I pull her from the back of the structure and spot an exit door close by. I walk towards it. Getting her out of here is the only thing on my mind. Teachers turn to look at us, but I ignore them and keep walking.
“Wait, Reese. Where are we going? I can’t leave,” she says, but there’s no real force behind her words. She’s keeping up with every step I take, not even tugging at her hand from mine.
“I told you I was taking you to dinner. I didn’t specify where. I’ve got food at my house. Let’s get out of here.”
Before I give her any time to explain, I’ve pulled her into the back of my waiting car and shut the door behind us. The driver pulls away from the curb, and I drag Charity onto my lap.
“Now. Where were we?”
