back, his hands going to his belt buckle. Kat unzipped her skirt, letting it fall to the floor. Her bra and sopping wet panties quickly followed. She would have dropped to her knees in front of him, but Reese was already grabbing a condom from his wallet. That wasn’t exactly what she’d had in mind, but she wasn’t going to complain. She could give him a blowjob later.
She watched impatiently as he rolled on the condom. For some reason, she found the act extremely sexy.
When he was done, he reached around to grasp her ass in both hands, then lifted her up and buried himself inside her in one smooth motion.
Reese felt so incredible inside her that for a moment she forgot how to breathe. Kat wrapped her arms and legs around him, clinging to him as he fucked her fast and hard. He went deeper and deeper with every thrust, shoving her back against the door so hard she was practically dizzy. She clutched at his muscular shoulders, digging her nails into his skin.
“Harder,” she demanded. “Fuck me harder!”
He tightened his grip on her ass and plundered her pussy. She clenched down on his cock. Dead God, she was going to explode.
“Oh yeah, just like that. Harder!”
Her orgasm built to a crescendo of pleasure so intense she actually saw stars. Kat clung to Reese, somehow remembering to bite her lip to stifle her screams. Reese must have remembered where they were, too, because he buried his face in her neck and groaned hoarsely as he came.
Afterward, Kat lay draped over him, her head on his shoulder, his still-hard cock nestled deep inside her. Wordlessly, Reese lifted his head and kissed her tenderly on the mouth before letting her slide down his body to stand on shaky legs. She grasped his shoulders to steady herself, but he swung her up in his arms and carried her over to the king-sized bed.
“We have to talk, Kat,” Reese said softly.
Kat closed her eyes and swallowed hard. She didn’t want to do this. Not now. “If you’re going to tell me all the reasons we can’t be together, Reese, please just go.”
“I wasn’t going to tell you that.” He smoothed her hair with his hand. “I was going to apologize.”
She pushed herself up on her elbow to look down at him. “Apologize for what?”
“For not believing you when you told me someone was following you. And for thinking you were the one who tossed my apartment. And mostly, for walking away from you.” He reached up to cup her cheek. “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, Kat. I was a jackass for not seeing that. I should have told you’re brother how I felt about you, consequences be damned.”
Tears started in Kat’s eyes and he wiped them away with his thumb.
“Hey. I didn’t mean to make you cry.”
She shook her head. “I’m not,” she said, then laughed. “Okay, maybe I am. But just because I’m happy. I’ve waited for you to say that for so long, Reese. After what happened at the police station today between you and my brother, I can understand why you didn’t want him to know about us.”
Reese caught her hand and pressed a kiss to her palm. “I love you, Kat. If Dylan doesn’t like us being together, that’s his problem.”
Kat’s breath hitched. “You love me?”
He grinned. “Yeah. You didn’t know?”
She gave him a sheepish smile. “You haven’t exactly given me reason to think so, you know.”
It was his turn to look embarrassed. “No, I haven’t. And I really am sorry. But I do love you. I’ve loved you since the first day I saw you.”
Kat blushed at the memory. She’d been painting the bedroom in her apartment when he and Dylan had shown up. Thanks to the music blaring from her iPod, she hadn’t heard them come in and dumped blue paint everywhere, including on her. She’d looked like a Smurf. Not exactly her finest moment.
“I love you, too.” She leaned forward to kiss him. “Since you’re apologizing for all the things you did, aren’t you going to apologize for
