Chapter 9

 

“Hey, Will. Is Hannah with you?”

It was early the next morning and Will eyed Selena before wrinkling his nose. “She is. Come on in, I was just leaving to meet with Mannie.”

Selena gave him a weak smile and moved toward Hannah who was sitting at the island and drinking a cup of coffee.

“Hannah, I’ll see you later, alright?” Will called.

She nodded and gave him a tired smile. “Bye, honey.”

She clapped her hand over her mouth and nose before sliding off the bar stool and moving away from Selena.

“Oh God, Selena. Don’t take this the wrong way but you smell terrible.”

She lowered her hand and took a tentative sniff in Selena’s direction. “Why do you smell like whiskey and,” a small smile crept across her face, “Reid?”

“Aspirin.” Selena whispered hoarsely. “Please, Hannah, for the love of God get me some aspirin.”

Hannah disappeared into the bathroom and returned with a bottle of aspirin. She poured Selena a glass of water and handed it and the aspirin to her.

“My head hurts so badly.” Selena moaned. She took some aspirin and drank the rest of the water in four large gulps. “Fuck me.”

“It smells like Reid did.” Hannah laughed.

Selena groaned and rested her head on her arms. “I’m an idiot.”

“No, you’re not. Tell me what happened.”

Selena squinted at her. “Well, first I – “, she paused, “wait, what’s wrong? You’re not looking that hot yourself.”

“I’m fine. Tell me what happened.” Hannah replied.

Selena shook her head and then groaned before cupping her forehead. “You first. I need a minute for the aspirin to kick in.”

Hannah sighed. “Will took me out last night in the forest to try and help me control the shift. Only I couldn’t even shift. I had no idea how to make it happen. Finally, Will had to have sex with me and then I shifted.”

“Weird.”

“Yeah, I know. Sex makes me want to shift. Anyway, we had sex and then we shifted and we were just running through the forest. It was kind of nice, you know? The moon was out,” a dreamy look came over Hannah’s face, “and it was so pretty. I wanted to stare at it forever.”

She stared silently into her coffee cup for a moment. “Then we caught the scent of a deer and we – we hunted it and murdered it and then we ate it.”

She glanced at Selena. The dark-haired woman was giving her a solemn look and Hannah smiled faintly. “Then I shifted back to my human form and barfed everywhere.”

“Oh, Hannah.”

“It was awful, Selena. Even now, just thinking about how I ate its guts and it’s…” She trailed off and rubbed at her forehead. “I’m not really getting the hang of this whole Lycan thing.”

“You will.” Selena said quietly. “It takes time.”

“Yeah.” Hannah replied irritably. “That’s what everyone keeps telling me.”

She sat down and took a sip of coffee. “Tell me about your night. Even looking the way you do, it had to be better than mine.”

Selena rested her head in her hand. “Last night I found Leanne drinking alone in the common room. She was having a bad night, I guess you could say, and we talked a bit and then I started drinking with her. We both got pretty drunk and I helped her to her room and put her to bed. I was going to just go to bed myself but then I somehow ended up standing outside of Reid’s apartment.”

Hannah poured a second cup of coffee and pushed it across the island to her. “Go on.”

“Reid let me in, we started talking, and then I made a total and utter fool of myself.”

Selena sipped cautiously at the hot coffee. “He tried to take me back to my room but I refused to go. Instead, I started making out with him and grabbing his ass and at first he tried to resist but I was, uh, pretty persistent. I told him I wanted him to, uh, fuck me and he was all – no problem.”

Hannah laughed. “Of course he was.”

Selena blushed. “He actually said he would sleep with me but another night when I wasn’t drunk.”

“Good man, Reid.” Hannah said cheerfully.

Selena gave Hannah a miserable look. “Then I might have, maybe, given him a blow job.”

Hannah raised her eyebrows at her. “Either you did or you didn’t, girl. There’s no maybe in blow jobs.”

Selena dropped her face into her hands again. “I did. I totally did.” She whispered.

After a moment she lifted her head. Hannah was drinking her coffee and studying her fingernails.

“Well?” Selena asked.

“Well, what?”

“Aren’t you going to tell me how terrible I am?”

“For giving a man a blowjob? Honey, you’re not the first girl to drink too much and do something she regrets.”

“I don’t regret it.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“I – I don’t know! Reid’s an instructor and a playboy, and I told him that I wasn’t interested in just casual sex. And then the next thing I know, I’m in his apartment and he’s pinned to the couch with my mouth on his – “

She groaned. “Fuck, I really am an idiot.”

“No, you’re not.” Hannah said patiently. “And I’m sure that Reid had no problem with you changing your mind and having happy mouth time with his junk.”

Selena groaned again. “Anyway, then I asked him again to fuck me and this time he was all for it. He carried me to the bed, we were making out, and he went into the bathroom to get a condom.”

“So you did sleep with him?” Hannah asked.

Selena shook her head. “No. That’s the last thing I remember. I passed out.”

“Oops.” Hannah grinned at her. “What did Reid say this morning?”

Selena gave her a look of panic. “I – he didn’t say anything because I woke up before he did and I just grabbed my shirt and got the hell out of his apartment.”

“Selena! You have to talk to him about this.” Hannah scolded.

“I can’t! I – I’m so embarrassed and I would never have gone to his apartment if I hadn’t been drunk.” Selena wailed.

“Really? You’re telling me the only reason you would have sex with Reid is because you’re drunk?” Hannah said skeptically.

“Yes?” Selena said hesitantly and Hannah snorted loudly.

“Bullshit, Selena. You need to talk to Reid.”

“I know.” She sighed. “I just, I need a few days to figure out what I’m going to say.”

Hannah reached out and squeezed her hand. “It’ll be okay, honey.”

“Yeah, maybe.” Selena said morosely.

“It will be. Listen, I don’t mean to be rude but you seriously need to shower.” Hannah grinned at her. “Even if I wasn’t a Lycan, I’d be able to smell you.”

Selena laughed. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Time for the walk of shame back to my room. Thanks for listening, Hannah.”

“Anytime, honey.” Hannah replied.

“You’ve been avoiding me all morning.”

Selena gave a sharp gasp and jerked wildly before glancing behind her. “No, I haven’t.”

She had just finished target shooting and was putting the gun back in the small room that housed the guns used for training. Lost in her thoughts, she hadn’t heard Reid enter the room or the door shutting behind him.

“Yes, you have.” Reid said firmly. “We need to talk.”

“Reid, I have a really bad headache and I’m tired and I’d just like to be left alone, okay?”

“Sorry, sweetheart, but you’re not going anywhere until we talk about what happened in my apartment last night.”

She placed the gun on the shelf and took a deep breath. “Yeah, about that. The thing is – I don’t really remember what happened.”

“You don’t remember.” He repeated.

“Not really. I mean, I remember coming to your apartment and talking to you but after that it’s pretty much a blur. It must have been embarrassing though because I woke up in your bed without my shirt.”

She gave him an embarrassed look over her shoulder. “I’m sorry for bothering you when I was drunk. I shouldn’t have done that.”

He stepped closer and when she tried to move away, he placed his hands on the shelving and blocked her in.

“I think you’re lying, Selena.” He said softly.

She continued to stare at the shelf in front of her, trying to ignore the feel of his hot breath on the back of her neck. “I’m not.”

“Really? You don’t remember tearing my shirt off?”

“No.”

“You don’t remember telling me that you masturbated every night while you thought about me?”

“N-no.” She stuttered. “And that isn’t true. I – I don’t think about you when I, um, masturbate.”

“More lies.” He said sternly.

She didn’t reply and twitched when his hand, his delightfully hard and deliciously warm hand, rested on her flat abdomen. She was wearing yoga pants and his fingers toyed with the drawstring on them as he spoke again.

“You asked me to fuck you, Selena. Hell, you begged me to fuck you.”

“I did not.” She croaked out.

“You did.” He insisted. “And I refuse to believe that you don’t remember having my cock in your mouth.”

She moaned loudly as his hand slipped inside her pants and underwear and cupped her pussy firmly. She was wet and he made a soft noise of approval as he traced his fingers over the swollen lips of her pussy.

“Oh, you definitely remember.” He breathed into her ear.

“Reid.” She moaned as she gripped the shelving.

“Yes, sweetheart?”

“Please.”

“Please what?” He pushed his fingers between her lips and rubbed at her clit.

She moaned again and widened her thighs. She tried to step back, to lean against his hard chest, but he placed his other hand in the small of her back and prevented her from moving as his fingers moved relentlessly over her clit.

“Does that feel good?” He whispered.

“Yes.” She murmured.

He slid his finger down and eased it into her tight opening. “You’re so wet for me, Selena. I fucking love how wet you are.”

“Oh!” She gasped loudly when his fingers returned to her clit. He pinched and tugged on the swollen bud as she panted and moaned.

“Tell me the truth, sweetheart. Do you remember sucking on my cock?”

“Yes!” She suddenly cried. “I remember!”

“Good.” He breathed. “I’ve spent all morning thinking about how hot and wet your mouth is, about how badly I want to come in your mouth and watch as you swallow it all like a good girl.”

He tugged on her clit again and she made a sharp cry of need as her hands squeezed the shelving. “Please, Reid.”

“You asked me to take you to my bed and make you mine. Do you remember that, Selena?” He asked as his fingers paused in their rubbing.

She nodded. She was on the knife’s edge of climaxing and she waited breathlessly for Reid to touch her again. All she needed was one more tug, one more stroke of his rough fingers, and she would find the release she so desperately needed.

“I’m going to make you come all over my fingers,” he breathed hotly into her ear, “and then you’re going to come back to my room and I’ll do what you asked. I’ll take you to my bed and make you mine. I want you under me. I want you screaming my name as I make you come over and over, as I slide my hard cock deep into your tight, wet pussy, and – “

The door popped open and Mannie stuck his head into the room. “Reid, there you are. You’re late for the fucking meeting, you asshole. What the hell are you – “

He stopped, his eyes widening at the sight of Reid with his hand in Selena’s pants. “Well, holy shit!”

Selena, her face flaming red, yanked Reid’s hand out of her pants and fled the room, pushing past Mannie and scurrying down the hall as Mannie hollered after her. “You need to be at that meeting too, Selena!”

He turned back to Reid and grinned at him.

“You have the worst fucking timing.” Reid snarled.

“Sorry, dude.” Mannie laughed and held his hands up apologetically. “How was I to know you were trying to bang Selena in the gun room?”

Reid glared at him and Mannie laughed again. “Try to keep it in your pants at the meeting, would you, Reid? I know it’ll be difficult with Selena there but - ”

“Shut up, Mannie!” Reid snapped and stalked out of the room.

Still laughing, Mannie followed him.
