Chapter 1.
"What are you doing?" Nina demanded as he tried to push through the door she had just opened. She would have ignored his incessant banging if she wasn't positive that he wouldn't stop until he was let in. She put the full weight of her body against the door to prevent him from entering. She'd let him in eventually but this was their little routine, and they needed it, made them feel normal.
"Come on, lemme in!" he replied a soft pout touching his lips. "It's been ages… " he trailed off his pout turning into a smirk. And she knew where his mind had wandered to, although wandered may have been an exaggeration, from what she knew of him his mind spent most of the time in the gutter, or rather a janitors closet if most of the stories about his escapades were to be believed
"Ages?" Nina questioned raising a sculpted eyebrow. It had been two week tops, possibly less; all the moving in the last couple of days had her internal clock a bit thrown. From New York back to the family home in Ipswich, then to Spenser and all in a couple of days had her exhausted. Which was why she would have been perfectly happy to ignore the blonde currently leaning lazily against her doorway, but if she knew anything it was that Reid Garwin did not give up on anything. She knew if he wanted something enough he got it, and surprisingly it was because he worked for it. People thought he was lazy but he wasn't, the problem was he just didn't want the things he should.
His smirk broadened into a full blown smile. "Long enough." he replied as his fingers came up to play with the edge of her t-shirt. She batted his hand away, but they both knew there was no real conviction in her actions. It was all just part of their little game.
"I have a roommate Reid," She told him trying to make sure his view of the room was completely blocked. "I don't think Sian would really appreciate me inviting you in right now." She finished.
"Excuses, excuses," he mocked. "I know she's not here yet, she hasn't signed back in I checked." he informed her. "That and we both know she wouldn't put up with you playing your shitty music." he mocked as the song playing quietly in the background changed.
She attempted to look contrite, but failed miserably. "Say please." She laughed knowing he'd hate it.
And he did hate it, but that was how their relationship worked. They snarked and teased and goaded each other all of it leading to the same end. She would let him into her room and they would stop pretending the minute the door closed behind him.
They were close, but didn't act it in public. They talked a lot and in fact knew a lot about each other, it was kind of inevitable with the kind of relationship they had, you could only recycle so much small talk before other avenues of conversation became necessary. They both still had their secrets though; their pillow talk didn't extend that far.
"You want me to beg?" He asked, his voice dropping an octave as he brought his hand back up, this time sneaking his fingers under her top and caressing her stomach. "Please, Nina, please?" he whispered stepping as close as he could with the door still blocking his entrance to her room.
"Mmmm please let me in." he begged huskily as fingers continued to move slowly up her body, a very definite destination in mind.
"You know I wondered where this t-shirt went!" he told her as he dropped his face into her neck, his lips brushing gently along the column of her throat, his warm breath causing her to shiver.
"Are you cold baby?" He questioned in a whisper.
"Let me in and I'll warm you right up." He added. She ignored him trying to keep her breathing under control, she didn't want him to know just how much her body was responding to him, and to say she was glad she was wearing a bra was an understatement.
He continued to stroke the soft skin of her stomach, getting closer and closer to her chest. "I really love that t-shirt Nina, and as good as you look swathed in my original sex pistols concert t-shirt that cost me 250 sheets, I think I'd much rather see it on your floor." he whispered in her ear.
The snarky reply she was about to bite out in response to his cheesy line died on her lips as she felt him bite down on the sensitive skin of her collarbone forcing a groan to escape her.
"Let me in, please Nina, please?" he begged again but she could feel his smile against her neck, it sounded so contrived that she almost laughed.
Grabbing the front of his shirt she pulled him into her room. "Not in the hallway Reid, come on anyone could see!" she reminded him.
"Well then you should have just let me in the damn room." he responded as he threw himself down on her bed and kicked his shoes off. She hadn't fully finished unpacking so boxes were still strewn across the room. "This place is worse than mine and Tyler's." he informed her as he rifled through a box sitting beside her bed.
"Nice!" he smirked at her as he pulled his hand back out of the box a pair of midnight blue panties hanging from his finger. "I don't believe I've seen these before." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Wanna try them on for me?"
"That would kinda defeat the purpose of your little visit though wouldn't it Garwin." she reminded him as she made her way over to the record player she'd just set up in the corner.
"Any requests?" she asked him as she bent over to riffle through the still unpacked box of vinyl.
"Should I even bother answering that?" he laughed knowing she'd ignore his request if it wasn't exactly what she felt like listening to.
"When did you get back?" she asked pretending not to hear his question as she straightened up having found the record she was looking for.
"No! No!" he shouted. "I was enjoying the view. Come on bend back over there and choose something different." he begged, he seemed to be doing that a lot tonight.
She merely raised an eyebrow at him before turning back to put the music on.
"Fine," he groaned. "Got back Monday. I wasn't going to stay in that house a minute longer than I had to , if it weren't for my aversion to the AM's I would have been banging down the door at six in the morning to get back in. "
"The Yale rant again?" she asked turning to look at him to which he merely nodded. "Your parents or your granddad?"
"Everyone." He informed her leaning back on the bed his back resting against the wall as he closed his eyes, frustration written all over his face.
"Hmm." she replied, there was nothing else to say, it was an on-going battle between Reid and his family. She knew from experience that nothing she said would make him feel better. But that didn't mean there was nothing she could do, she thought smiling to herself.
"Hey Reid?" she whispered softly, the change in her tone was enough to make him open his eyes and watch her as she started moving slowly towards the bed he was lounging on, swaying her hips gently to the music as she toyed with the well-worn material resting over her stomach. "Don't think about it right now." she continued, "We have way more important things you should be concentrating on." she informed him smiling as he raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes following her every move.
"I think you might just be right." he smiled reaching for her and pulling her to him the minute she stepped close enough to the bed. He leaned up pulling her face down to finally meld their lips together, his hands pulling her body to him, forcing her to straddle him as she tried to get as close to him as possible.
Her hand went straight to the bottom of his t-shirt playing with the material before dipping her fingers inside it and under the waist of his jeans gently sweeping her fingers over the sensitive skin there.
"Mmmm have I mentioned how much I like this outfit?" he purred in her ear. "Because I really really really like how you look in my clothes". He told her as he pulled her or should she say his Sex Pistols t-shirt over her head in one quick movement, then leaning forward to hike his own shirt up over his head too, before pulling her flush against him. His hot bare flesh meeting hers as his lips attached themselves to her neck.
Reid's hands moved down her back, his thumbs pressing into her skin making chills shoot through her. His hands fell to her hips and she instinctively ground down against him as his lips continued their path down her neck, a grown escaping them as his body reacted to her actions. In a second he'd lifted her like she weighed nothing and flipped her so she was suddenly laying on her back him hovering over her. Giggling she pulled his face down to hers and kissed him hard, he made her feel like her body was on fire and she needed to feel him.
Their lips still fused she reached down unbuttoning his pants and reaching inside pushing past his boxers and starting to stroke him, slowly at first then faster as she felt him start to strain against her palm, he groaned loudly before grabbing her wrist and pulling her hand away.
"Mhhmm baby, I wanna make this good for you and if you don't stop that I won't last long." he whispered roughly in her ear. She smirked up at him and helped him kick his pants off as he pulled her shorts down leaving her in her bra and panties.
"Something tells me you knew I'd be dropping by." he commented as he ran his fingers along the edge of the deep green lace panties she was wearing, one of his favourite colours on her. They stood out shockingly against her snow white skin, her black bra an even starker contrast.
"Nope!" she replied breathely a smirk on her lips, "In fact I was actually contemplating pretending not to be home for a minute when you first started banging down my door before I realised you woulda just kept on knocking!" she informed him as she wrapped her legs around his waist trying to create some kind of friction.
"You want me to stop?" he breathed but reached behind her to unclasp her bra as he asked.
"You couldn't stop if you wanted to!" Nina groaned as she ground against him, sighing his name as his lips came down to meet the peak of her breast. "Oh god!" she mewled as he lavished attention to her bare chest, in an instant her body reacted, her eyes closed and her whole body lifted to his lips as the immediate pleasures surged through her.
She felt his hands on her thighs as they danced lazily up towards the edge of her underwear he raised his eyes to meet hers again and then leaned up, kissing her lips gently as his fingers hooked under her panties urging her to unwrap her legs from his waist so he could remove them . He stroked her gently before dipping a finger into her wet folds watching as her eyes closed in pleasure, adding a second figure he pumped them in and out slowly, smirking as she let out a keening sigh.
"You like that baby?" he asked his eyes dark with want. She could feel the pleasure building in her belly as he teased her.
She felt him remove his fingers suddenly making her gasp at the sudden loss, her eyes opened as his body was removed from hers completely. She watched him lean over the side of the bed and grab a condom from his pants pocket. Reid Garwin always came prepared, she wondered briefly if he'd ever been in the boy scouts.
Nina sighed as his body came back down to rest between her legs, she'd never admit it to his face but she had missed him in the short time they'd been apart. She smiled as he kicked his boxers off, he looked more than ready for her but she still reached down and stroked him, his eyes rolling back in his head as she paid a little extra attention to his engorged tip. She made one more pass before grabbing the condom from his hand and slowly slipping it on him.
In a moment she felt him enter her and she shifted her hips slowly to adjust to him. He gave her a second before he started to move slowly in and out of her his lips moving to her forehead, then cheeks and finally lips. He kissed her hard before picking up his pace. Thrusting into her, his hands came down to her thighs urging her to wrap her legs around his waist which she did, the new angle making both of them groan loudly. He braced himself on his elbows and dropped his head into the crook of her neck as he continued to pound into her, the friction causing shivers to run through her body. She could feel the pleasure building quickly and wanting it to last longer she grabbed his shoulders forcing him to flip them over with him still inside her.
Smirking down at the surprised look on his face she started up a slow pace allowing the pleasure to build between them slowly. His hands came to her hips guiding her motions and her head lolled back as the pace started to pick up again, she could feel the heat building in her stomach as Reid's thrusts continued to meet her motions. She could feel him begin to move more erratically as pleasure exploded inside her and radiated through her entire body. She continued to move knowing he was on the edge of exploding. He flipped them back over pumping into her even more erratically as he lost control, she could feel the build-up start all over again and with one final thrust felt his release pushing her back over the edge with him.
His body collapsed on hers as he tried to catch his breath. She relished the feel of his weight on her body it made her feel safe.
They both slowly came back to the real world, their breathing fast and deep. Pushing himself back up on his forearms he looked down at her, an unreadable expression on his face.
"You okay?" she asked confused by the look he was giving her.
"Yeah, yeah," he responded his voice gaining strength as he repeated himself before rolling off her with a sigh and heading for the small WC attached to the room. After a minute he reappeared and she watched the way his muscles moved as he made his way back to the bed. Reid Garwin was not one to be shy of his naked body, and for good reason she thought. He climbed back on the bed and she laid her head on his chest , her arm wrapping around him and her fingers coming up to run along the tattoos he was so proud, running up and down his well-muscled arms.
"You staying here tonight?" She asked him straining to look up at his face.
He smiled down at her. "Yeah baby I think I will."
"Cool," she replied leaning over to turn off the bedside lamp and reaching for the blanket at the end of the bed. "Will you set the alarm?" she asked him to which he merely nodded. "Will you make sure you get up early enough that no one will see you leave?"
"I know the score Nina." he replied before pulling her head back down to rest on his chest and cocooning both of them in the large duvet.
