The Promise (Neighbor from Hell, #10)(48)

“I do that a lot,” she said as she snaked her hands beneath his shirt so that she could run her hands over his stomach simply because she couldn’t help herself.

“You’re a bad influence,” he murmured as he toed off his shoes and pulled off his shirt, tossing it aside.

“I really am,” she readily agreed as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

“You’re driving me crazy, Joey,” he said with an incredibly sexy growl that had her breath catching as he slid his hands down the back of her pants and cupped her bottom.

“I tend to do that to people,” she admitted only to gasp when he used his hold to pick her up and carry her toward the bathroom.

“You’re good at it,” he said as he managed to carry her into the bathroom without stepping on her sweet little kitten.

“I do try my best,” she said, as Reed set her down near the shower.

“So, you were planning on treating me like your bitch, huh?” he asked as he reached past her and turned the water on.

“I really was,” she said, nodding solemnly as she reached for his belt.

With that devastating smile of his, he gently cupped her face in his hands as he leaned down and kissed her as she pulled his belt loose. “Will you be gentle?” he asked teasingly as he slid one hand down her body.

Her breath caught when he slowly ran his hand between her breasts. “Probably not.”

“At least you’re honest,” he whispered seductively as he continued to kiss her while he traced his fingertips down her stomach

“I find that it’s best to be honest where my bitches are concerned,” she said, making him chuckle only to make him groan when she slid her hand over the large bulge between his legs. When he tore the rest of her clothes off her, she considered inquiring about those spankings only to decide to play it by ear when he picked her up and carried her into the shower.

“We have to get up,” Reed said, licking his lips hungrily as his hands fisted in the sheets and a groan was ripped from his throat as he watched his cock slide through Joey’s fist only to disappear again when he pulled back.

“We really should,” Joey said, her breath catching as his cock slid back between her wet slit, brushing against her clit only to moan when he pushed back, moving back over her clit and sliding back through her fist, again. It felt so fucking good, he thought, groaning as she tightened her hold around him.

“We can’t stay in bed all day,” he said, mostly to himself in an attempt to find the willpower to leave her as he leaned down to kiss the woman that he’d spent the past couple of days losing himself in.

“We really can’t,” she murmured in agreement, reaching up with her free hand to thread her fingers through his hair as the reason why they couldn’t spend all day in bed opened his bedroom door and—

Reed found himself shoved onto his back, the comforter thrown over his lap, painfully aroused, and alone. Before he could figure out where Joey went, Matt was sitting next to him on the bed with a large box of Captain Crunch and a gallon of chocolate milk. Struggling to catch his breath, Reed glanced around the room for her, his gaze hesitating on the built-in bookshelf across the room before he dismissed the idea and moved his attention to the open bathroom door and-

“So, I was thinking,” the little bastard said around a handful of cereal.

“That I should have killed you in your sleep when I had the chance?” Reed bit out with a glare as he adjusted the comforter over his lap.

Matt looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking his head. “No, I’m actually good with that,” he said, pausing long enough to shove another handful of cereal into his mouth before he washed it down with half the chocolate milk, “I was thinking that we should probably show Joey around town or something.”

“She grew up here,” Reed pointed out, somewhat distracted as he resumed his search for the woman in question, wondering where she was.

“A lot has changed since she left,” Matt said, shifting to get more comfortable only to frown when he saw Reed glancing around the room. “What are you looking for?”

“Nothing,” he said, unable to help but frown when he heard what sounded suspiciously like, “Stupid boobs,” mumbled beneath him.

“We could take her to the mall?” Matt suggested with a shrug as he shoved more cereal in his mouth.

“I don’t really think the mall’s going to do it for her,” he said, wondering how she managed to get under the bed that fast, especially with the board that cut across the-

“Ow, my poor boob,” came the sad little mumble that had Reed glancing to his left to find Matt lost in thought as he shoved his hand back in the cereal box.

“It’s just a thought,” Matt said around a mouthful of cereal before asking, “Are you planning on getting up today or are you planning on avoiding Joey while she’s here?”

“I’m not avoiding her,” he said, wondering how she’d managed to get under there so fast. Then again, she had years of practice, he thought.

“Really? Then what would you call hiding in your room all weekend?”

“I’m not hiding.”

“You really are.”

“Get out,” he said, shoving the little bastard off his bed when he took too long.
