Page 15 of Secrets We Keep
I pull my phone out of my purse and text my sister quickly.
Jenna: I’ve gone out with some people after work. I’ll see you later or in the morning.
Georgia is used to me not being home before seven or even eight some nights. She’ll be glad though I’m not working. I hope she doesn’t start blowing up my phone.
Jenna: I’ll message you when I’m on my way home.
If I know my sister at all, it might not stop her from getting in touch, but it will stop her from going crazy and worrying until I get back home.
My heels click on the wooden floor, and I take my time wanting to take in what little of his house I can see. This place is a real home. It feels lived in, but you can also tell a man lives here. Reid obviously likes to be surrounded by comfort. He has blankets and throws scattered; I noticed the same outside.
I walk through the kitchen, the only truly modern room I’ve noticed.
I stand and watch the two men talk and look so at ease with each other. I can’t believe Dom never told me he knew Reid. Dom has surprised the hell out of me this week. I mean, it wasn’t a complete surprise. I can read people. But when he never made a move, I thought it was because he wasn’t that interested, that maybe even though Georgia thought he had a thing for me, maybe he didn’t.
Reid laughs at something Dom has just said, and my stalking has to stop. Both men turn to see me staring at them.
“I was about to send a search party out for you,” Reid says. He strides quickly, taking up the space between us from the pool to the area we’ve been sitting in.
“Sorry, I got distracted by the house.” He offers his hand and helps me down the two stone steps. His thumb slowly stroked my fingers. I hold on a little firmer, not wanting this little form of affection to end. I keep hold of his hand, and we walk over to the couch where Dom is already sitting.
I feel his eyes on me as we lower to sit together, and this feels charged.
My heart beats just a little more, and I close my eyes for just a minute to take in the moment. Both men’s scent mix with each other. They both smell great, making my blood pump faster through my body.
Reid’s hand has moved from mine and now rests on my thigh, his thumb slowly moving in circles.
I let out a shallow breath I didn’t know I was holding in. My body is in sensory overload. I need one of these guys to kiss me. I need to know I’m not the only one feeling this. This magnetic pull that’s playing between us.
Reid holds onto my jaw, that same thumb stroking other parts of my body only a moment ago, now moving backward and forwards on my jaw.
“Open your eyes for me, gorgeous.” His voice sounds hoarse, and I know I’m not the only one feeling this pull.
I’d been so inside my head that I hadn’t noticed Dom turning, one arm behind my head and the other hand resting on my knee closest to him. He’s not moving his hand, though. He’s happy, just resting his hand on my knee.
Reid pulls me to him, and our lips touch. My mouth opens on instinct as our lips press together. Our mouths open the more we get into it. I feel his tongue brush past my lips and contact my own. My hands move to his neck as I hold on to him, stopping myself from falling. I need to hold on tight, or I’m going to fall. Moaning as his kiss moves to my neck. I’m conscious that I’m now only being touched by Reid.
“Reid…” I moan. This can’t go further than this. I’m not ready, and call me greedy, but I need to know how Dom feels.
“Let him do his thing, gorgeous,” Dom whispers. He’s moved, and I feel his hard body over the length of my back. He kisses me under the ear he’s just whispered into.
Reid smiles back at me. “I meant what I said, Jenna. We move at your pace.”
“I like where this is going, but…”
“But what, baby?” he whispers, kissing my neck.
“I’ve just come off my period,” I still, mortified that I just told the guys. It just spilled out of me.
I hear a snort of laughter behind me. Reid is biting his lips closed, forcing himself not to laugh aloud.
“That explains the pants.” Dom laughs, his hand moving to my arm and stroking it.
I pull away from Reid and feel two sets of eyes on me.
I’m absolutely never going to get laid by these two ever!
