Chapter 5 Five
I should slap myself right now.
He hesitates, as if he's second guessing himself.
“I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.”
“Fuck no.”
“Please.”
“No.”
“Alright, you don't have to pretend to be my girlfriend. I have another plan.”
“What's the other plan?” I ask
“There's this girl, Diane… She's coming over to my room and I need her to come in and see you with me. I need it to look like she caught us–”
“I'm sorry, I can't.”
My face is burning and my heart won't slow the fuck down.
“Glinda, I won't touch you,” his voice drops low. “At least I won't if you don't want me to.”
Liquid heat pools in my stomach and my core throbs with need.
“What if she tells the entire school what she saw? What would they think?”
“The rumours would die off.”
I think about it but no matter how hard I try to reason the situation, I keep hitting a blank wall.
“Fine.”
“I'm completely and utterly indebted to you. If you ever need a kidney transplant, you can take two of mine.”
I catch myself grinning like a sheep.
“If this hurts my reputation, I'll come asking for more than two kidneys.” I say this more to myself than him, but I forgot how sensitive werewolves' ears are.
“And I'll be ready to give more than two kidneys. We have a deal.”
“How exactly is this supposed to help you get better at hockey?” I ask Reid
He's sitting on his bed, his hair is disheveled and he's fucking topless.
My eyes track the sinewy muscles of his external obliques. How hard does one have to workout to gain this build?
I swallow hard and my gaze drops to the happy trail that's leading into his boxer briefs.
All of a sudden, the room temperature rises.
“Open the fucking windows, it's burning in here.” I mutter and turn to the windows to see each and every one of them wide open.
I turn back to see Reid staring at me knowingly.
“Wipe that smile off your face.” I mutter and he chuckles
“I'm not against you watching. I'm a sight to behold.”
“Don't let it get to your head. I've seen better bodies.”
“Is that so?”
“Pffft, yeah.” I brush loose strands of hair away from my face. “So, how exactly is this supposed to help?”
“My friends have been shipping Diane and I together for weeks now and I made advances towards her, enough for her to think that we're about to be a couple. She's not a good influence.”
“Why don't you just come clean and tell her?”
“She won't stop hoping… In her world this is the ultimate betrayal.”
I feel bad for her, so bad that bile rises to the back of my throat.
His phone buzzes on the bedside table and he reaches for it.
“She's here.” he says and I shrug.
“I'm lost, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.”
“Come here,” he says, tapping the spot beside him.
What would happen if I say no and run off. Would he stalk me and hunt me down? He says he wants to change right, maybe he won't come looking for me… or maybe he doesn't give a flying fuck about change and this is a set up to get me to pay for snitching on his friends
“What's wrong?”
“I'm fine.”
“You have every right to change your mind.”
“No, it's just that some months ago, I caught my ex cheating on me. I walked in on him with the girl in bed.”
“You're feeling bad for Diane.”
“Exactly.”
“Your ex is an asshole.”
“So are you.” I say and he smiles
“So am I,” he turns to the door and then looks back at me. “Do I know him?”
"Who?"
"Your ex."
They're on the same hockey team so yeah, I'm very sure they'll know each other. Which is the reason why I shouldn't disclose his name.
“Maybe, maybe not.”
“Mysterious Glinda.” he says softly and grins
It's hard to believe that this is the terror that rules the Red Eclipse.
“You can touch me, if you want.”
Before I can even think about it, my hands are lifting and running along his shoulders.
I want to pull my hands away, but I have no control whatsoever.
A dangerously intoxicating scent fills my nostrils. The scent of the forest after a storm mixed with the scent of warm musky fur and something metallic, like blood and iron.
My mouth waters and my core throbs, this time so painfully that I'm tempted to grind my pussy against his bed.
His fingers dig into my hair and he pulls me closer, I bury my face in his neck and my tongue sneaks out and strokes his flesh.
He tastes so good.
“Glinda,” he whispers my name, like he's begging me to touch him more.
His strong arms travel down my back and wraps firmly around my waist, pulling me closer until I'm straddling him.
I grind my pussy against his groin… desperate need coils through my entire being as the pleasure spreads and deepens.
I rock my hips again, this time I'm conscious of his erection pressing against my core.
Dear goddess, I'm going to fuck his brains out.
I've never been needy my entire life, I am so horny that I can't even muster an atom of shame.
The door opens and someone screams.
I turn around to find a girl with bleached blonde hair standing at the door with her mouth as open as the bare sky and she's crying.
I look down at Reid and he takes my mouth in a wild kiss. His mouth is warm and sweet and it's about to drive me mad.
He thrusts upwards and a wave of electricity spreads through my back as his hard cock rubs against my pussy.
I kiss him back with as much wildness and everything fades. He moans into my mouth and I plunge my tongue into his. An overly masculine scent threatens to take over my senses and I know that if I don't pull away now...
“Reid, what the fuck!”
The spell is broken again and this time, there's about a dozen people standing at the door.
Diane is crying, a group of girls are comforting her while the rest are watching us with barely concealed joy.
“Get out, all of you. Y'all have no fucking manners.”
Reid's voice comes out shaky but everyone obeys.
I wait for everyone to leave and I jump off him.
“We're done. I've paid my debt.”
He opens his mouth to say something but I know that if I stay for one more second, I'd regret it
