Chapter 16

It had required all her nerve to voice it, but the words were out and not to be taken back.

Reid’s pupils flared, but he said nothing. Just reached for his wallet, threw a wad of bills on the table, and grabbed her by the arm.

Her body thrummed with anticipation as he guided her to his truck. She was breathless and slightly giddy, but had hardly even touched her mojito. Just the thought of being with him again did this to her.

He still didn’t speak until a few minutes later, when he pulled into a shopping mart with a twenty-four-hour pharmacy. “Just need to make one quick stop.”

Her gaze fixed on his ass, so perfectly defined in snug denim, as he walked into the drugstore. She wanted to feel it in her hands while he pumped into her. She chided herself for being so shallow, but Reid had always brought out her baser, animalistic side.

She waited impatiently, her pulse speeding as he walked out the door toward the truck. He couldn’t move fast enough for her. He laid a small plastic bag on the seat and then started the truck. Five minutes later, they were in the lodge parking lot.

“Got an extra room key?” he asked, his entire body tense. She could see it in the hard line of his mouth, in the stiffness of his movements.

“No. I’ve only got one, but I can get another.” Her hands were trembling as she fished inside her purse. “Here. Number two nineteen.” She handed him her card. “I’ll just tell them I left mine in the room.”

His hand came over hers, warm and firm as if meant to reassure, but the contact was like an electric jolt. “You okay?” He didn’t make a move beyond touching her hand.

She looked up into his eyes with a hard swallow. “No,” she murmured. “I’m not. But I will be.” Although she quivered with trepidation, it wasn’t enough to stop the train.

He gave a nod and released her hand, then unbuckled and came around to open her door. “You’d best go in alone. It’s a small community. People talk.”

Her legs felt like jelly as she walked to the front desk for a replacement key. She’d never been so aware of her body before. Her anticipation ratcheted up another notch with every step as she approached her room. Would he be there already or would he wait a while? She hadn’t thought to ask.

She held her breath as she slid the key into the slot and opened the door, releasing a long hiss of relief when she found the room empty. She closed the door and leaned against it. She wanted this, didn’t she?

Yes. She did.

She ached with physical need. She’d kept it caged far too long and was almost ready to climb out of her skin with want. But it scared the hell out of her. She didn’t just want him. She needed him.

But why was it only Reid who’d ever made her feel this way? Jeffrey had felt safe and comfortable, like a favorite pair of jeans.
