Reed (Cold Fury Hockey 10)

Reed's smile back to me is blinding and I know I made the right choice.

Chapter 9

Reed

Josie isn't the first woman who has slept in my bed all night. There have been occasions where I've fallen into a dead sleep after sex and just didn't have it in me to insist a woman leave. Sometimes I've even wanted the woman to stay, figuring the prospect of morning sex would be a good thing.

But Josie is the first I can honestly say is a good thing to actually occur. The early morning light filters in through my blinds, throwing patterned stripes across her naked back and ass. She's sound asleep, her breathing deep and slow. Apparently she's a stomach sleeper, which is fine by me because I am not minding the view of her beautiful, rounded ass.

I'm a back sleeper and I'd woken up a few minutes ago, my head immediately turning to her side of the bed to ensure she was still here. She had embraced the pillow, arms wrapped around it tight, and her face was relaxed in slumber. I turned on my side and rested my head in the palm of my hand so I could check her out. There was a moment where I got sidetracked staring at her thick lashes resting against the delicate skin under her eyes. But then I let my gaze wander right down her naked body, taking in the smooth, soft skin that my hands spent a great deal of time touching last night.

My mouth too for that matter.

Christ, Josie is amazing. Every single thing about her.

When I led her into my room last night, her eyes immediately went to the bed and her lips curved into a smirk. She nodded toward the headboard and the clear scuff marks on the wall behind it.

"Ah," she said in recognition. "The infamous banging board."

For a moment I was embarrassed, but that quickly dissipated when her smile went from teasing to sensual and she added, "Let's see if we can add our own marks."

Then it was on.

Clothes flying, hands groping, kissing turning hotter and hotter by the minute.

And Jesus...when I was finally inside of her, I swear the only sense I could make of it was like it was a homecoming of sorts.

How fucking crazy is that?

I extend my arm, pressing my palm lightly to the middle of her back. She doesn't stir and I take a moment just to relish the warmth and softness of her skin. Sliding my hand down, I trail my fingers down her spine and over the rounded slope of her ass. Her body twitches but she's otherwise still deep in sleep.

Scooting in closer to her, I lean forward and slide my lips over her temple. She makes a tiny, purring noise deep her in throat as her eyes flutter open to stare at me.

"Morning," I say with probably what would pass for a dopey smile on my face.

She smiles back at me, revealing perfectly straight, white teeth that I had always thought made her smile shine at the brightest of wattages. "Morning."

"Sleep good?" I ask her.

I get a sleepy sort of nod in return followed by a shy lowering of her eyes.

Fucking adorable.

Rolling to her, I press another kiss to her cheek this time before sliding my mouth to her jaw. She hums in the back of her throat and then sighs.

I slide in closer yet and put my mouth on her shoulder. A kiss. A tiny lick.

Josie shivers, and that turns me the fuck on.

She takes in a deep breath and then holds it, waiting to see where my mouth goes.

My lips feather over her shoulder blade. I shift my weight, put a hand to the mattress to lift up slightly, and kiss my way down her back. When I reach the base of her spine, she lets the air out of her lungs and sucks a shaky one back in. Her skin prickles under my ministrations, and that turns me on even more.

Her skin is salty on my tongue as I drag it slowly over the swell of her ass.

"Reed," she whispers, and the neediness in her tone stabs me right in the gut even as it turns my dick harder.

I bare my teeth and give her a small but sharp bite to her ass cheek. Josie yelps as her hips shoot off the bed, but I use a hand to press her right back down again. I soothe the sting with another lick of my tongue, and then because I'm a mischievous fucker, I bite her again.

This time Josie's hips shoot high and her body flips right underneath me. "Damn, Reed."

Laughing, I roll over on top of her, shoot to my knees so I straddle her at her waist. She glares up at me, face all flushed and nipples hard as little rocks, so I know she liked that just a little bit.

"Don't you look at me like that," I scold her.

Her glare turns more fierce and it's also fucking adorable.

My fingers go to her ribs and I start to tickle her. Josie shrieks and starts bucking underneath of me, her laugh echoing through the room. It's contagious and I start to laugh as well, continuing to tickle her the entire time.

It's not lost on me that in my entire sexual life I've never tickled a woman in bed.

Josie tries to throw me off, gasping and writhing under me. "Stop it, Reed, before I pee on the bed."

I tickler her even harder, which isn't all that hard to begin with, but she has the most sensitive ribs imaginable.

Josie starts to shriek and snort and it's fucking cute as all get out. But all this tickling hasn't done anything to quell my desire for her, so I give her a little bit of respite. I roll off her, coming to lie by her side, and my hand goes right between her legs.

Josie goes from hearty laughter to a low, deep groan as I press a finger deep into her. Her hips rock up and her head tilts back with eyes closed.

So fucking sexy.

I lean into her, put my lips against her neck, and murmur, "You're wet, Doc. Seems like a medical emergency to me."

Josie chuckles and swivels her hips, urging me to give her more. Then she's turning into me, her arms wrapping around my head, and she's kissing the fuck out of me.

God, she can fucking kiss too.

I pump my finger in and out, circling her clit with her wetness. She makes tiny sounds deep in her throat, almost as if she's in distress.

Almost as if she needs to co

me.

Josie slips a hand between us, wraps it around my dick, and I can't stop the groan of need that rumbles out of me. She tightens her grip and strokes me in a way that's so perfect I could die a happy man right now.

She mumbles something against my mouth and I can't understand her. I pull back from her slightly and she licks her lips before saying, "Condom."

Condom?

Oh, right...condom!

I reluctantly roll away from her, yank the drawer open on my bedside table, and snatch a condom. When I roll back over, she's jerking it away from me, eyes focused intently on the wrapper as she frees the rubber. Josie pushes my chest lightly, indicating she wants me on my back, and I happily oblige.

My cock is straining for more of her touch as she rolls the condom on me, then she's pulling me right back on top of her. Our mouths fuse as I settle in between her legs, using a hand to help guide me to her heat.

Fucking heaven envelopes me as I push into her. Josie's fingertips dig down into my shoulders and she pants with need.

So fucking glorious as I sink deep into her, bottoming out and letting that homecoming feeling wash over me again.

I open my eyes--hadn't realized they'd closed--and find Josie staring up at me in wonder.

I give a tiny shake of my head as if I just can't believe any of this. "You are so fucking sexy, Josie."

She shakes her head in reply. "Am not."

"So fucking sexy," I reiterate, and swivel my hips slightly to snuggle in deeper.

Josie moans as she flexes her fingers into my shoulders just a little harder. Another push of my hips and I feel the bite of her nails.

I strain not to go all caveman on her, fighting the overwhelmingly insane need to start battering against her sweet body. But then something hits me.

Blinking to focus my eyes on her, I feel the need to tell her something.

"Hey, Doc," I say softly.

Her gaze focuses on me, her eyes warm and comforting.

"I've never had sex with a friend before," I tell her earnestly. "It's kind of cool."

Her lips curve, her eyes start to sparkle with something that's just uniquely Josie.

"It's kinda cool," I say as I hold perfectly still within her body. "I know exactly when you'll roll your eyes at me."

And on cue, she rolls those beautiful eyes.
