Reid leaned back against the thick, centuries-old tree trunk, one leg drawn up, the other thigh serving as a table for the comic he’d been reading since they arrived at what Brooklyn proclaimed was the most perfect spot in all of City Park. As far as Reid was concerned, it was just one shady tree among dozens of other shady trees. She was the one who made it perfect.

He stared at her from underneath hooded eyes, not wanting to break her concentration. She lay on her stomach, her legs bent at the knees, her ankles crossed as her feet bounced to whatever music was coming through her earbuds. Her Thor T-shirt rode up slightly at her waist, revealing a sliver of skin. Reid had lost count of the number of times he’d fantasized about crawling over to her and burying his face against her stomach. He wanted to sink his teeth into that sexy little roll of flesh that folded over her jeans.

He fucking loved her curves. His hands ached with the need to grab hold of that healthy ass and those luscious thighs and, God, those breasts that tested the limits of the T-shirts she loved to wear. He wanted to touch every inch of her.

He leaned his head back against the tree trunk and shut his eyes tight, barely able to contain the frustration of sitting here and not touching her. But he wouldn’t make that mistake again. He’d done so last night and it had spooked her. He had to remind himself that when it came to Brooklyn he had to move slow.

If only he knew how to move slow. He didn’t know how to do any of this. He now recognized that he was in the midst of a life lesson, learning the difference between being in a relationship and just hooking up. But he was willing to learn, because the more he got to know her, the more he wanted this thing with Brooklyn to grow into something more.

He studied her face, how her forehead creased with concentration. She’d been at it for a half hour, all her focus on the sketchpad as she worked on the program booklet for the foundation’s kickoff party. She’d first suggested she draw a few sample panels, as she called them, to share with Indina and his brothers. She wanted to make sure his siblings liked the idea before she started working on the actual comic. Reid assured her they would like it. If they didn’t he would raise all levels of hell, but he knew his sister and brothers would be as blown away as he’d been at the sight of their mother immortalized as the superhero they all knew her to be.

He still couldn’t believe Brooklyn had kept such talent to herself. As he glanced down at the comics encased in sheet protectors that he’d been reading, he acknowledged her talent went far beyond what he’d first suspected.

Reid still didn’t know what to make of her reaction earlier today.
