Reid and Alex drove to the bridge where they shared their first kiss. It was full moon and the moon reflected on the water and cast a mystical glow all around them.
Reid helped Alex out of the car. Neither said a word, the air pregnant with anticipation.
Placing his hands on her hips he lifted her on the hood of the car, stepping in between her legs and pulled her closer. Never taking his eyes of her, he lifted a hand and slowly traced the features of her face with the back of his hand.
Tracing over her brow, cheek, nose, down the side of her face tugging a piece of hair behind her ear, over her cheek again and ran a finger over her bottom lip. Alex moaned and never taking her eyes of him.
Reid's hand continued to trace her features. He traced his finger over her jaw, down her neck, down and over the swell of her breasts, visible above her shirt. He ran his up again and cupped the side of her head running this thumb up and down her cheek.
Alex grabbed hold of the front of his shirt. There was so much lust and passion and his eyes and it scared her because she knew that her eyes was a mirror image of his.
"You are so beautiful." Reid whispered not wanting to break the magical moment. "You are beautiful when you blush and now with the moonlight washing over your body. I want you so much Alex that it hurts. But I want our first time to be special, definitely not on the hood of a car." Reid explained and kiss her brows, her nose and her cheek.
Alex wanted to feel his lips on hers "Kiss me please?" She begged.
Reid smiled and dipped his head. First running his tongue over her bottom lip, before taking it between his teeth and gently gracing it. Alex opened her mouth to answer his kiss and he slipped his tongue inside her mouth.
Drinking in her sweetness, he kept his one hand in her neck while his other hand ran over her collarbone, lightly over her breast, down her side and rested on her hip. His other hand soon traveled the same path.
Alex moaned and ran her own hands over his hard chest, over his shoulders and placed a hand behind his neck while the other tangled in his hair.
Reid groaned and moved his hands over her backside pulling her even closer to his now hard body.
Alex could feel him hard against her inner thigh and wrapped her legs around his waist.
Reid knew that he should stop as he ran his hand up her back, over her neck and grabbed hold of her hair, pulling her head back slightly he left her lips and trailed his lips over her jaw down her neck, nibbling the soft skin with his teeth.
Alex moaned and grabbed hold of his shoulders as his mouth moved over to the swell of her breast, over and up to her neck and up to claim her mouth again.
Alex protested when Reid finally broke the kiss. He smiled and placed two swift kisses on her swollen lips, both panting for breath. Running his fingers through her long hair, he loved the feeling of her soft hair.
"So gorgeous, what do you say we go somewhere a bit more comfortable?" Reid suggested.
"Where did you have in mind?" Alex asked, her arms still around his neck.
"I don't care as long as I can hold you in my arms for a little while longer."
"Help me off and then we'll go."
"Where are we going?" Reid asked helping her off the car. Alex smiled and stood on her toes placing a swift kiss on his lips.
"You'll see." Was the only thing she said as she got in the car.
Alex drove and Reid soon saw that they were heading to the Danvers old family home.
"Are you sure about this. I mean Caleb can walk in here at any time?" Reid asked skeptically.
"He won't. I come here often when I need to think or when I want to be alone."
"Won't Gorman tell him?"
Alex laughed and got out of the car. "Why Reid Garwin are you afraid of little old Caleb Danvers?"
"Caleb, little? And hell yes, he will kill me if he find me with you."
Alex stopped to open the front door but turned to the blond hair boy first. "It's okay, Gorman is not here, it's his night off."
Closing the door behind them they headed up the stairs. Reid stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the fire burning in the fire place.
"I thought you said that Gorman was off tonight?"
"He is." Alex said and place some cushions in front of the fireplace. "He always keeps the fire burning. Now come here and join me." She patted the floor beside her. Reid smiled and walk towards her.
Caleb wrapped his arm around Sarah and kissed her in her hair whispering something in hear ear. Sarah giggled and nod.
"So will I see you tomorrow dude?" he asked Pogue as they walked towards the parking lot.
Pogue looked at Kate and then at Caleb. "I don't know, maybe later. I have other plans." He said with a glint in his eyes.
"Oh" Caleb said, knowing exactly what plans his friend had.
"Why don't we have a movie and pizza night tomorrow?" Sarah suggested.
"That sounds like fun." Kate added. "We can invite Alex, Tyler and Reid as well."
"Fine we can have it at my house, my mother is anyway away for awhile." Caleb said.
"Hey Ty," Pogue yelled as Tyler walked towards his black Hummer "we're going to have a movie night at Caleb's tomorrow."
"Cool, sounds like fun."
"Will you tell Reid when you see him?" Caleb asked.
"Will do so, see ya all tomorrow then, sleep tight." Tyler said and got into his Hummer and drove away.
"Well see you then tomorrow." Pogue said as he helped Kate on his Ducati.
Caleb watched his best friend drove away then turned to his girlfriend. "So babe, have I told you how beautiful and wonderful you are?" he said pulling her in his arms.
Sarah laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Well not in the pass hour."
Caleb looked in her eyes before his dark head dipped to give her a passionate kiss. "Well you are." He said out of breath after lifting his head.
"Thanks for trying to befriend Alex, you don't know how much that means to me."
Sarah ran her fingers through his hair. She loved this boy so much and she would do anything for him.
"To tell you the truth, I've been trying to be Alex's friend for months now, it's just so damn hard to reach that girl." She said and stepped aside as Caleb opened the door for her.
"I know, and one day I will tell you why. But for now I'm just glad that my two favorite girls are becoming friends." He leaned forward and gave her a quick kiss before closing the door.
Caleb got in the car and drove towards his home. Tonight he wanted to make love to his girlfriend and hold her in his arms while he sleep.
Alex and Reid were sitting in front of the fireplace. He was sitting with his back against one the sofas that he had pulled closer, Alex was sitting in front of him between his legs her head resting on his chest. He had his arms wrapped around her and Alex played with the fingers of his one hand. For the longest time neither said a word they just enjoyed the silence.
"Babe?" Reid broke the silence first.
"Mm" Alex replied.
"Who… Will you tell me who gave you that bruise on your cheek?" he carefully asked.
Alex sat up and half turned so that she could look at him. Biting her bottom lip Reid felt his heart tug and took her hands in his and brought it to his lips "If you don't want to talk about it, it is fine sweetheart."
Alex looked into his blue eyes and gave a half a smile. "No I want to tell you, I was just wondering where I should start."
"The beginning is a good place to start." Reid got up to place another log on the fire and though that he heard Alex murmured "wise-ass". Sensing that she does not want to be comforted now he took place next to her.
"I'll tell you the who and then the why." Alex said drawing her knees up resting her chin on them while staring at the fire.
Reid sat perfectly still watching his beautiful girlfriend, wanting to take all the pain in the world away from her. He wanted to draw her in his arms and kiss her till she has forgot about all her problems, but instead he just ran his hand lightly over her back.
"It was my mother." Alex finally said. "She was drunk as usual and accused me for, how did she put it, oh yeh killing my father."
"But Alex, that's not true and you know it." Reid interrupted.
"I know, but tell that to my mother. You see Reid, for my mother only one person exists and that is my brother. You don't know this but my mother never wanted me. She always said that she'd never wanted to have a daughter and she hated it that daddy was always giving me what I wanted, like building the ice rink. Caleb and daddy was the only one's who loved me and my mother can't handle the fact that Caleb and I are so close. There are so many things that she hates about me I'd rather not think about it." Alex explained.
Reid looked at her and decided that he needs to put the sparkle back in her eyes. Slowly pushing her back unto the carpet he half leaned over her supporting his head on his hand.
"So my love, enough about this sad and depressing thoughts, lets talk about something more fun."
Alex's heart skipped a beat. Did he just call me love, she thought. Probably only said it to make me feel better.
"What do you want to talk about Mr Garwin?" she reached up and touched his face.
Turning his head he kissed the palm of her hand. Forgetting what he wanted to say, he bent his head and claimed her mouth. Alex tangled her fingers through his hair pulling him closers.
Reid let his hand traveled down to her hip gently rubbing the flesh exposed between her jeans and shirt. He trailed his hand up again to cup her breast through her shirt. Alex moaned and arched her back, pushing her breast deeper in his hand.
Reid groaned and broke the kiss, gasping for air he rested his head against hers.
"Do you have any idea how much I want you right now?" he asked with a hoarse voice.
"Probably as much as I want you." Alex said running her hand up and down his back.
The old Reid would have had sex with her already and forgotten about her as well. But with Alex he wanted everything to be perfect. Willing his emotions away he rolled onto his back taking Alex with him so that she rested her head on his chest.
"So beautiful, what are your plans for tomorrow?" he asked rubbing her back in circles.
"Sarah planned a girl's day out, so we're going shopping."
Reid mentally shook his head, women he thought.
"And later?"
"Well I wa-" Alex started but Reid's phone beeped. Reid cursed and took out his phone, he saw that the message was from Tyler.
Movie night tomorrow at Caleb's
Reid showed the message to Alex and she laughed. "Well I guess that answers your question."
"It's going to be hell, being so close to you and not be able to touch you." Reid said pulling her closer.
"We should really tell Caleb, you know"
"I know babe, but I'm not ready to be castrated."
Alex sighed softly, she was becoming frustrated with Reid not wanting to tell Caleb and always stopping their physical being together saying that it should be special. Maybe it was time for this shy girl to take things into her own hands.
They laid like the for a while when Reid finally pushed them both up into a sitting position. Alex looked questionable at him.
"It is getting late and we should be going. I don't like it that you drive alone at night." He explained and helped her up.
Alex drove him to the dorms and after another passionate kiss or two drove towards the Danvers Mansion. It was after one and she silently slipped into the home up the stairs and into her room, very chuffed with herself that she was able to avoid her mother and Caleb.
She just closed her bedroom door and changed in to her PJ's when her phone vibrated, it was a message from Reid.
Just wanted to make sure you got home safely.
(Alex) Just got home
(Reid) Sweet dreams babe, and dream of me.
(Alex) Always xx. Sweet dreams.
She got in bed and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
