Crossing Boundaries

Chapter 20

Reece

My laughter echoed after Lorna stormed off; she makes the cutest face when she's mad.

Sitting there, she looked so dry and pretty as she watched our volleyball game. When she handed me a towel, I couldn't resist teasing her, asking her to dry me. When she declined and tried to walk past me, the temptation was too strong. I had to pull her into me and rub my wet hair on her face and neck. Her resistance and annoyance were too funny. When she said I was making her wet, I loved seeing how flustered and shy she got ,when I teased her...

Austin walked up beside me, asking what I did to upset Lorna. He mentioned that she walked past him looking annoyed and grumpy. When he asked her what was wrong, she just grunted something about me and being wet. Chuckling, I told him that I made her all wet, giving him a sly look and smirk.

Lance chimed in, saying, "Yeah, but not in the way you wanted." He slapped me on the back and laughed. Sam, his friend, joined the conversation, suggesting, "Maybe you just wanted to cool her down, Reece? Or perhaps you wanted to feel her beautiful body against yours. I know I wouldn't mind feeling her." I growled, "Don't even finish that sentence." Lance agreed with me, and Sam added, what I was just saying what everyone thinks, she's hot, keep Lorna out of your thoughts." Lance summed up what I was thinking while giving him a slap at the back of his head.

"Fucking hell,I can't even mess around without them making dirty comments about her."

"The joys of having a hot best friend," Austin mulled.

Heading up to my room, I dried off, took a quick shower, and changed. As I came back downstairs, I found Lorna and the guys gathered in the barbecue area, enjoying their meal. I grabbed a plate of food for myself. "My dad makes the best burgers. Plopping down beside Lorna. Her lovely scent wafted my way, and damn, she smelled good.

Lorna was munching away on her burger, one of the things I loved about her – she never shied away from eating in front of anyone. Plus, she ate proper food, not those tiny salads some girls barely touched. She wasn't afraid to enjoy a hearty meal.

She looked amazing today, sitting with her legs crossed. I couldn't help but steal a glance at her. My eyes started at the top of her toned thighs, peeking out from under her little red dress. Slowly, they traveled down past her smooth calves to her feet. Her cute little western boots added a fun and charming touch to her outfit.

"You okay there, Reece?" she asked, arching an eyebrow at me. Shit, she caught me.

"Just admiring your boots," I replied with a grin..

"Mmm, sure you are, "she remarked, giving me a look that clearly said, "You're full of shit!" We were all chatting and laughing. I couldn't help but steal glances at Lorna now and then. She was in stitches, laughing at something Austin had said. God, her laugh was so beautiful – you couldn't help but smile when she did. It was like a melody to my ears.

"I'm thirsty. I'm going to get something to drink. Anyone want anything?" she asked, standing up.

Mostly no's from everyone. She turned to me and questioned, "You want anything?"

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks," I replied. "Okay, I'll be back soon," she said, her dress swinging as she walked away.I couldn't but stare at her as she left. It was hard not to – she was effortlessly gorgeous. I loved nothing more than the idea of running up to her, grabbing her, throwing her over my shoulders and bringing her to my room to make love to her all night. I would give anything to have her writhing under me, moaning and screaming my name.

"Man, you have it bad," Austin's chuckle and comment, pulling me out of my daze.

My glare told him to shut it.
