Chapter 3
—Reed—
I tossed Kasey on the bed and popped the button on my jeans. The hours between pulling her over and this evening had been long. So fucking long.
I’d filled them with revenge plots and ways of teaching her a lesson about speeding in my town, but I figured leaving her hot and heavy then slapping her with a ticket was boss enough. Besides, I’d been blue-balling for the past few weeks and semi-hard all afternoon knowing I’d be fucking her tonight.
I reached for her ankles but missed as she recoiled them out of reach.
“Nope,” she sassed, emphasizing the “o” sound. She crossed her legs, twisting them around each other so I’d either have to fight my way between them or coax them to open on her own accord.
“Uh, yup,” I countered, climbing onto the bed and balancing on my knees.
My laughter mixed with hers as I tried to pry her legs apart. With her wrists still cuffed behind her back, Kasey flipped onto her stomach, rolling and squirming in ways that made her slippery as all hell.
“That’s it, I’m locking you down.” I swung my leg over her legs and sat on her calves, then pressed a hand to her upper back. She couldn’t do shit from this position aside from fruitlessly bucking her torso.
“Gah, get off!” she laughed.
“I don’t think so, Quinn,” I growled through clenched teeth.
Maintaining balance was trickier than expected as I reached behind me to wrestle off her shoes. Kasey screamed again when I shoved the back of her shirt up and tugged her leggings down just enough to expose her peachy ass.
My dick hardened impossibly further as I grabbed two handfuls of her pert booty and squeezed. “Mm, I bet these taste as good as they look, darlin’.”
I bent forward and sank my teeth into her flesh. Hard enough to have her screaming and bucking under me again but not hard enough to hurt and bruise.
I came up for air with a growl. “I’mma need to see more. Hips up, babe,” I demanded while shifting off her legs.
Her brown eyes flashed over her shoulder in warning. “Only if you finish what you started in the car. I swear to God, Reed, if you don’t let me finish, you’ll be choking on your own cock while you sleep. And not in a good way.”
A burst of laughter left my grin. “I don’t think there’s any good way one can choke on his own cock—especially in his sleep, darlin’.”
“Not with that attitude,” she sassed, giving me a devilish smile for good measure.
“Hips,” I demanded again, and was immediately rewarded with her raising her ass so I could tug down her leggings and underwear.
“Uncuff me.”
I snickered. “Not yet. I kinda like you not being able to fight back.”
Kase’s efforts rekindled; she growled and bucked, then kicked out as soon as her ankles were free from her leggings. A stab of pain shot through the side of my torso when she landed a kick, making me grunt.
Snagging both her feet and bringing them together, I pressed them onto the bed. Smiling, I slowly kissed my way up the smooth skin on the back of her legs, noticing how she stilled the closer I got to her thighs.
“Higher,” came her breathless whisper.
“Here?” I asked, teasing my fingertips under her bum cheeks.
“Higher and in. You know where.”
I laughed heartily while kneading her ass again. “So demanding.”
“I know what I want, Reed. And so do you.”
A shuddering exhale left her mouth as I eased my hold on her legs, then smoothed my finger through her arousal.
“Hold that thought,” I murmured, and took a moment to kick out of my jeans and underwear, then positioned myself on my knees at her hip.
With one hand firmly gripping her cuffed wrists on her lower back, the other returned to between her legs. Her thighs shifted wider, and she angled her pelvis, inviting me to play in her arousal again.
She hissed with pleasure and moaned as I alternated between working two fingers in and out of her and circling her clit.
Thank fuck I’d left her hanging for an orgasm earlier. I was rock hard and aching to be inside her.
“Tell me when you’re close, babe.”
Eyes scrunched and mouth agape, Kase nodded. “I’m close.”
“Fuck, I gotta be inside you for this.” My hands trembled as much as my voice as I lined myself up with her opening. I slid unhindered into her heat, letting out a long, tortured hiss in the process.
With her ass high, chest hard against the mattress, and her biting at the bedding, I slowly but firmly thrust in and out. My fingers bit into her hip as her insides pulsed around me.
“Oh god, I’m so close, so close,” she chanted.
“Fuck yes!”
I grit my teeth so hard my jaw ached, and, mercifully, with a few more well-positioned thrusts, she cried out and started shattering around me over and over again until the last of my composure snapped.
My rhythm didn’t falter as I grabbed the short handcuff chain between her bound wrists and pulled her into me with force that had us both cursing.
Harder. Faster. I relentlessly used her shackles as leverage. Our curses and the sound of flesh meeting flesh filled my room. Pressure gathered low in my abdomen, barely giving warning before my release hit like a goddamn freight train.
With one last thrust that stayed deep, I arched and welcomed the euphoria that took me to another dimension.
Somewhere between there and finding earth again, I’d collapsed on top of Kasey, then blindly rolled off when she yelped.
“Shit, sorry, babe,” I mumbled, fighting to regain my senses.
Her voice came swimming at me from underwater. “It’s okay. My wrists are dead though.”
I instantly sobered and glanced at her hands. “Christ. Let me get the key.”
Running buck-ass naked through my house to the front door, I cursed myself for being so damn reckless with the handcuffs. Kasey’s hands were a shade of red that indicated the blood flow was awful.
Cupping my dick to stop it becoming unruly as I ran, I rushed back to Kase and freed her. She let out a sigh of relief and gingerly stretched her arms wide, all the while I watched with worry gnawing in my chest.
“I’m sorry, babe. Fuck, are you okay? Let me see them.”
She offered one wrist. “I’m okay. A little sore but holy shit that was worth it.”
My gaze flicked from her wrist to her eyes, and a lopsided smirk quirked my lips. “You liked it, huh?”
If her, “Yeah,” hadn’t confirmed it, her grin sure as hell did.
My amusement was short-lived thanks to the bruising marks already forming on her delicate wrists. I kissed her tender skin while silently asking for forgiveness for hurting her.
Her fingers tickled my chin. “You frown when you’re worried. I promise I’m okay.”
She slowly shifted and stretched out her back before climbing off the bed.
I opened my arms and hugged her closely when she rose up onto her tippy-toes and slung her arms around my shoulders.
“Thank you. I needed that. All of it. Too bad we can’t do it more often, eh?” she said with a snicker.
I hummed in agreement, smoothing my hands up and down her curves. “Too bad.”
Her cavalier comment brought forth the proposal that had been burning holes in my head for weeks now. Our long-distance relationship had spanned months, and I’d only grown to love her more each time we visited each other.
I followed her into the bathroom and carefully studied her as we washed up. She smiled at me through the mirror, then I snagged her wrist before she had a chance to slip away. My eyes held hers, unblinking and unyielding.
“Move in with me, babe,” I murmured. “Live with me. Permanently. It doesn’t have to be now or soon, but I want you here with me more and more.”
Surprised, her doe eyes searched mine. Back and forth in time with her racing thoughts. I saw them play out behind her dark-brown irises—questioning, weighing, considering, and finally, concluding.
“Do you know that I once swore I’d never move here? Visit yes—how could I not with Simone, and now you, here—but I never saw myself living in a small-town… until now.”
My heart nearly beat out of my chest, and I swallowed down a thick wad of anticipation. “So, that’s a yes?”
She grinned. “For you? Yes, it’s a yes. Give me a few months to get my shit in order, then we’ll make it happen.”
I cupped her cheeks in my hands. “Sounds like a mighty fine plan, darlin’. I can’t wait,” I murmured, bringing her face closer. “I love you, Kase. You mean the world to me.”
She smiled against my mouth and whispered, “I love you, too,” then kissed me back in the sweetest, knee-weakening way.
Fucking. Bliss.
