Chapter 13
LEXIE
Ipull my compact out of my purse and open it to look at my neck. I think I did a good job of covering it up, but you can still kind’ve see it.
I jump when someone says, “Is that a hickey?”
Seeing it’s Lainey, I let out a sigh of relief, “You can tell?”
She tilts her head and I move my hair so she can get a better look. “Uh, yeah. It’s bruised with a bite mark too.” She stands up straight, tilting her head smirking. “Who’s the artist?”
I roll my eyes. “Nobody important.” I try to brush her off.
“Uh, huh… okay.” She says unconvinced. “It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me right now.”
I shrug my shoulders and smile, “There’s nothing to tell.”
She just smiles back at me. “If you say so.” She looks down at her phone before looking back at me. “I just wanted to say hi, but I gotta get to my next class. Text me later.”
“Of course.” I say and she scurries off.
I pull my hair back over my neck to hide the bruise and look around.
Reed said he would find me today and it’s almost over. I feel like a crazy person waiting on him to pop up.
I start to walk towards my class but a hand grips my wrist and pulls me back into a hard wall. His scent envelops me, I don’t even need to turn around to know it’s him.
“Miss me?” He whispers into my ear before turning me around in his embrace.
I don’t say anything as he leans down to kiss me, but I turn my head and push at his chest. “What are you doing?” I ask looking around.
He leans back, looking down at me, “I had my tongue in your pussy last night and you won’t kiss me today?” He tilts his head and my face heats.
“We aren’t a couple, Reed. Plus, I don’t like PDA.” I shrug my shoulders and break eye contact.
He wraps his hand under my jaw and squeezes my cheeks turning my face up to look at him. “I don’t give a fuck who see’s me kissing my woman.” I swallow, not breaking eye contact with him. “You don’t have to label us as a couple if you don’t want to, but you are mine. Got it?”
He doesn’t let my face go, instead crashing his mouth to mine. I melt into him before he finally releases me and I can massage my cheeks.
“What if I don’t want to be yours?” I say to him and he stuffs his hands into his pockets before stepping closer to me and leaning down into my space. My pussy aches at the smell of his cologne.
“You see, the thing is, Honeybee,” he pauses for a moment as if to let me process his words, “I got a taste of that sweet cunt of yours and nothing else will ever compare. You have no choice in the matter.” He smirks and kisses my nose, leaving me speechless.
When I don’t respond, he backs up and says, “See you soon, babe.”
Then disappears in a crowd of people.
