He doesn’t once look at me, but he’s glaring at Ruben.
“Stop being an ass and put it away... Your girls sick,” Ruben tells him and I wish he’d kept his mouth shut.
Reece moves his head to look at me. “Callie?”
I shake my head, which isn’t such a good idea considering I want to puke.
Reece reaches out to steady me. “I’ll take you back to the hotel,” he says before glaring at Ruben.
Ruben throws his hands up in the air and snickers. “Here,” he tosses some keys to Reece, “use my car. It’s parked out back. You can return it in the morning before you leave.” With that he walks away, leaving me with the object of my heartbreak.
Tightening his grip on my arm, he moves in closer and all I want to do is lay my head against his chest to breathe him in, instead I look up and meet his eyes, all my anger draining from me.
“Are you sick?” he whispers, rubbing his hand up and down my arm as though he has to continue touching me.
“Not really…but I could do with some fresh air.”
He nods, letting go of me as he indicates for me to go in front of him back down the corridor toward the back entrance with his arm. I start to move past him, but my legs feel like jelly and I’m not too sure I’m going to make it as I cling to the wall.
Before I try and take another step, I’m swept off my feet and into Reece’s arms, tight against his hard chest. My heart rate picks up as I think ‘what the heck.’ I’m exactly where I want to be so I slip my arms around his neck, snuggling in tight. I close my eyes to shut out the darkness and closed space, but other things start to take over, like the scent of his cologne, which is so Reece. Dark and sensuous. I remember his hard chiseled body with his arousal jutting forward, waiting for my mouth. He’s long with a wide girth, which made me struggle to fit all of him into my mouth. It didn’t seem to bother him though because he’d come down my throat within minutes of my tongue and mouth working him over.
Feeling the fresh air against my skin, I open my eyes and realize while I’ve been distracted with my naughty thoughts about the man holding me in his arms, he’s managed to get me safely outside.
Thank God for the fresh air though. The last thing I need is for him to realize he still affects me, although after the hot session in the band’s room he probably has a good idea not to mention the fact I can’t stop squirming in his arms.
Chancing a look up into his face, I see the smirk he’s not trying to hide. Fuck! He knows what he’s doing to me.
“What’s so good that has you blushing…and squirming?” he whispers into my ear. I whimper.
Chuckling, he holds me tighter. “Baby, I’m not sure what’s going on with you, but I’m not letting you out of my sight tonight.”
I open my mouth to protest, shutting it again rather quickly. There is no way I’m sleeping with him again. I’m not sure my heart can take it. But…I’m not sure my heart can take him walking away from me again.
Sometimes, I wish I had more experience with guys. I mean, I have more experience than most considering it isn’t everyday a girl gets to be with two men, but dealing with men, especially sexy idiots just isn’t me. I feel like I’m completely lost in how to deal with Reece.
“Callie, although I wouldn’t mind having you in my arms all night, I think you might prefer to be in your bed alone,” he grins. “Get the door, babe.”
He’s standing beside a huge, black SUV with tinted windows. I reach out and open the door, pushing it wide as he shoves it further open with his shoulder before moving to place me on the seat. He doesn’t put me down though. Resting his forehead against mine, he says, “I’m not good at explaining myself…to anyone, but we can’t keep avoiding each other. Will you let me stay and look after you tonight?” I stay silent unable to get my tongue to work because listening to what Reece is saying is unexpected to say the least. He continues, “I can see you’re not well regardless of my teasing. If I promise to behave, please let me stay, Callie. Please don’t ask me to walk away especially now that you’re not well.”
Fudgesticks! I can’t refuse him. I need my head examined.
“You left me,” I blurt out and start to cry. God, what’s wrong with me.
Reece cusses and places me into the SUV, but as soon as my butt hits the seat he turns me toward him. “Ah…Callie.” He steps between my legs, wrapping his arms around my waist as my arms go around his shoulders; I bury my face into his neck and sob.
Chapter 10
Reece
What the fuck should I do? Should I say? I knew I’d screwed up royally, but I had no idea I’d upset the girl in my arms as much as I obviously have. I have no doubt that she’s going to be pissed as hell in the morning once she’s had a chance to sleep on it. Perhaps, sneaking out before she wakes might be in order – fuck – I can’t do that. Not
this time.
I gradually untangle myself from her arms, and grab some tissues from the box on the floor of the SUV, which I shove into her hands.
She turns away, refusing to look at me.
“Callie?”
