Reed took us to the main house to look around before swimming. My suit was an old ratty one-piece that I'd found at a thrift store. I know that seems trashy, but when you don't have money and the swimming suit cost two dollars, you get over the whole ick factor and wash it thoroughly before wearing. I didn't feel comfortable wearing it in front of Reed and just stayed in my shorts, but exchanged my sweaty t-shirt for a tank. I owned exactly two bras and one was deep in the dirty clothes basket, so I had to keep my sweaty one on.We followed Reed through his house. It was huge, much bigger than I thought. There was a workout room, game room complete with pool table, and a separate theater room with the biggest television I'd ever seen. Individual plush chairs faced the TV so you could watch and enjoy in luxurious comfort. An old-fashioned pushcart popcorn machine was against the back wall. It actually worked and had small paper bags so you could fill them and eat while watching a movie
He pulled me into the game room. "Hey, Jon, Bitsy, fresh chocolate chip cookies are in the kitchen. Maggie wants to meet you, so run in there and get a few. And bring some back for us if you don't mind."Bitsy laid her pool stick on the table. The stick was twice as long as she was tall. Jon went to pick it up, but Reed grabbed it. "I've got the cues, just follow the cookie smell and you'll find the kitchen."They left the room and Reed nodded to the foosball table in the corner. "Play me so I can kick your ass again."I rested my hip against the pool table. "Totally unfair advantage. You have foosball at your house and probably practice all the time. I hope it makes you feel good to beat little old me."Reed grabbed me after he pushed the sticks, err, cues across the table and lifted me before leaning me back so I rested against the top. My feet didn't touch the floor, so I circled my legs around his hips. His hands landed on either side of my head."Seeing you in my kitchen look
The rest of Reed's friends showed up. Alex was single like Mick. Once Bitsy got over her fear of Mick, she was his best friend. She followed him around and played her million-question quiz.Reed had his arm around me, keeping me pulled into his side while he spoke with Alex and Sal. I tried to wiggle away, but he stopped me. "What's up, baby?"Shit, that was his bedroom talk and he was now doing it in front of his friends. "I need to rescue Mick. Bitsy will get to the inappropriate questions next."Reed and his friends laughed."Mick has five sisters and if anyone can handle girls, he can. He's having a good time chatting with her, so let him be."Reed and his friends were evil. I'd saved Reed from Bitsy's question-fest and the least he could do was return the favor to his friend. Chi Chi walked up before I could give Reed a small piece of my mind."We're going to change into our suits. You wanna come with us, Jaycee?" She stood waiting with Dustin's wife, Clare. Dustin played ce
We entered the backyard and saw everyone else already in the pool. Bitsy and Jon had worn their swimsuits under their clothes. Jon's dark blue trunks could almost pass for black. Swimming was the only time Jon stepped out of his Goth persona. I teased him about being a vampire. Jon always gave as good as he got with comebacks and said he'd mastered the difficulty over light sensitivity. My brother had a mind of his own and I wouldn't change him for the world.The appreciative whistle from Mick announced our arrival.Chi Chi didn't let it pass. "Yeh, tall boy, see what you're missing playing that pansy court game. Baseball's all about hot mamas strutt'n their stuff."Male laughter sounded from the pool. I guessed this was an ongoing tease between them and it made me smile. Reed was in the pool with sunglasses on, so I couldn't see his eyes, but his head followed me as I walked around to the steps and sat down with my feet in the water feeling horribly exposed.It took Reed all of tw
"Move the chair over here and turn it around so the back faces me."My kinky Reed was back in full swing. I did exactly what he said."Straddle the chair," he all but groaned.I had no idea how that would work sexually, but I was past caring. Reed watched for a moment before standing up and taking the scarf from the nightstand. Once he covered my eyes, I wouldn't be able to see his incredible muscles, so I drank him in, burning each sinewy movement into my memory."You know you can tell me to stop any time," he whispered in my ear as he placed the scarf around my head, covering my eyes."Yes." My heart was ready to explode from my chest. I could feel moisture on the chair dripping from my pussy, but I wasn't embarrassed by it; I was too damn turned on.He lifted my hands and slowly pulled them behind me while wrapping the tape around my wrists. When my arms were secure, I felt the heat of his hands against my ass."Lift a little, baby, and slide forward."I widened my legs, lif
I woke up in Reed's arms an hour after we crawled into his bed. I was sticky and itchy from strawberries and it made me smile. His warm body pressed into mine. I had to get back to the loft and my room, so I wiggled out from his hold. He never woke up.A soft glow from a nightlight in his bathroom helped me locate my clothes after washing some of the sticky red trails from my body with a washcloth. I made it downstairs and noticed the security system. Reed had given me the code when he set it and thank goodness my mind wasn't so far gone with lust that I couldn't remember the six digits.I climbed the stairs to the loft and unlocked the front door. The soft glow and drone from the television let me know I wasn't sneaking back in without being seen.My brother waited with Don Gato curled on his lap."Hi. Couldn't sleep?" I asked in the most level tone I could manage."New bed. I guess I needed a lumpy couch, though this one doesn't pass the test. How about you? Couldn't sleep?"I
He took me to the kitchen and pulled out our chair. Yes, I knew the chair was ours. He took the one next to it, giving me an innocent look. The man was diabolically evil.I ignored the instant zing between my thighs and got to the point. "You are not buying school clothes for Bitsy."He barely let me finish. "Hear me out first, Jaycee." He took my hands. "You've been caring for Jon and Bitsy for years now and you will continue to care for them. They start a new school tomorrow and I live in a ritzy neighborhood with upper-class schools. I know that probably pisses you off, but that's the world we live in. They'll have enough problems without adding clothes to the mix."I shook off his hands and stood up, the chair sliding back six inches when I did. "And you didn't think to mention this before we moved in? The last thing either of them need is more problems, you jerk." I paced across the kitchen and didn't speak again until I turned and faced him. "What you don't understand is that
We both needed sleep, so I didn't visit Reed that night. I tossed and turned for more than an hour before my exhaustion won the battle.I worried to death when Reed left with Jon and Bitsy to take them to school the next morning. He'd streamlined everything to get them in the new school. He was so efficient at getting things his way I wondered why he needed help with his personal paperwork. After dropping them off, he would head to the stadium for whatever it is that ball players did the week before spring training. Maggie and I would be picking up my brother and sister from school because Reed would be gone the entire day. We were still in the planning stage for rides during the remainder of the week after I vetoed a private driver. I caught Reed childishly rolling his eyes and wondered if all grown men acted up whenever they didn't get their way.Maggie arrived shortly after the rest of them left. We sat at the kitchen table and went over the cleaning, yard maintenance, and other h
