The Recruit (Book Three) (17 page)

He closed his
eyes and breathed in her sweet scent as she carefully shaved his
face. As she worked she hummed softly to herself, and he only
winced a little when she placed the razor on his throat.

“Hold still.”
She reminded him firmly.

“Right.”

She shaved his
throat with careful concentration before shaving his upper lip and
chin. When she was finished, she wiped his face with a warm, wet
cloth and he couldn’t stop his groan of appreciation.

She touched his
smooth face with her soft fingers. “There, much better.”

“Thanks.”

“You’re
welcome. I’ll be right back, don’t move.”

He waited
patiently as she left the bathroom and eyed the black garbage bag
and duct tape she returned with in surprise. “What’s that for?”

“Have you never
had a cast before, Reid?”

He shook his
head and she laughed softly. “I would have thought you’d have
broken all sorts of bones as a kid. You seem like the daredevil
type to me.”

“I was lucky, I
guess.”

“This is
probably going to hurt a little.” She warned as she tucked the
garbage bag over his cast. Using the duct tape, she wrapped the bag
around the top of his cast until it provided a water proof
seal.

“There, now you
can have a shower without getting your cast wet.”

“Yeah, because
it’s so easy to shower with a garbage bag on your hand.”

“Don’t be such
a big baby.” She sighed.

He eyed her ass
as she bent and turned the knobs to the shower. She adjusted the
temperature until the water was hot and steam began to fill the
small bathroom. “Okay, clothes off and in the shower.”

“I can’t,
Selena.” He protested. “I can barely get my own pants off. My left
hand is fucking useless.”

She sighed
loudly. “Oh for the love of God. Stand up.”

He stood up and
grunted in surprise when she unceremoniously yanked his shorts to
his ankles. He wasn’t wearing underwear and he blushed when she
eyed his cock.

“Do you always
sexually harass men when they’re hurt and helpless?” He asked.

She laughed.
“Whatever. You’ve been asking me to ride your dick for weeks, but
now suddenly you’re going to play shy?”

“This is
different.” He muttered.

“No, it isn’t.
Now get in the shower. You smell, Reid.”

He glared at
her and she shrugged. “What? You do.”

Grumbling under
his breath he stood in the shower, carefully maneuvering his
garbage bag covered-arm so that the water didn’t directly hit it.
He held his head under the hot spray and had to admit that it did
feel good.

“Wash up.”
Selena called to him.

“Why are you
still in the bathroom?” He didn’t open his eyes.

“I’m waiting
for you to actually use the soap.”

“Water will
have to do.” He grunted.

He heard her
sigh irritably and then blinked in surprise when, after a moment,
the shower door opened and Selena squeezed in beside him. She was
wearing just her sports bra and panties and he watched as she
reached for the shampoo.

“Most people
shower naked, Selena.”

“Yes, well, you
don’t need to see me naked.”

“You’re seeing
me naked.” He pointed out.

“It’s not a
competition. Tilt your head back.” She had poured shampoo into her
hand and she stood behind him and began to wash his hair. He
groaned as her strong hands kneaded his scalp and he closed his
eyes in bliss.

She finished
washing his hair too quickly and tapped him on the back. “Duck
under the spray.”

He ducked his
head obediently and she rinsed his hair before reaching for the
soap. Lathering it between her fingers she quickly washed his back,
ass and legs before pressing closer to him and lathering her hands
with more soap.

The feel of her
warm, wet, skin made his dick spring to attention, despite the
throbbing pain in his right arm, and he gritted his teeth as she
cleaned his left arm. She reached around him carefully and washed
his chest and abdomen with quick, efficient strokes. He made a
harsh groan when, after a moment’s hesitation, she moved her hands
to his crotch.

“I’m sorry. Did
I hurt your arm?” She whispered.

“No.” He
croaked out. “It’s fine.”

He stared at
the shower wall as her soft, soapy hands cupped his balls. She
cleaned them gently before moving her hands to his cock. He was
rock-hard and he could feel her breath speeding up against his wet
back as she stroked him slowly back and forth.

After nearly
five minutes of torturous touching, he cleared his throat. “I’m
starting to think you wanted me to shower just so you could molest
me.”

“I’m trying to
be nice. This has nothing to do with wanting to touch your dick,
Reid.” She snorted.

“No? Because
you’ve been
washing
my dick for five minutes now and I’m
pretty sure it’s as clean as it’s going to get.”

Her hand
tightened around him and he nearly embarrassed himself by coming
right there in the shower. She dropped her hand and he turned
around quickly, ignoring the pain in his right arm. The water had
soaked through her white panties and bra and he stared at the
outline of her dark nipples against the fabric of her bra before
his eyes dropped to her pussy.

She cleared her
throat nervously. “Eyes up here, buddy.”

He lifted his
gaze to her face, grinning at the hot blush that covered it. “I
didn’t say you needed to stop.”

“It’s time to
rinse.” She said firmly.

“I’m going to
need your help for that too.” He replied innocently and she glared
at him before pushing him back under the spray of water.

“Hold
still.”

“Whatever you
want, sweetheart.”

Selena rolled
her eyes but secretly she was happy to see some of his old swagger
coming back. When he had opened the apartment door, she had been a
little scared by how pale and drawn he looked. If an accidental
handjob was what it took to get the old Reid back, then so be
it.

Accidental?
Please, girl. You were enjoying it as much as he was. I bet he’d
really perk up if you gave him a blowjob. Why don’t you test that
theory out?

Lust unfurled
in her belly, hot and deliciously sweet, as the image of her on her
knees in front of Reid, his large cock sliding in and out of her
mouth, flooded through her.

She shoved the
image out of her head and tamped the desire down to a more
manageable level as she quickly rinsed the soap from Reid’s body.
She hesitated briefly and, sending a silent prayer for strength,
began to rinse his hard cock.

He inhaled
sharply and his hips jerked toward her. She bit her lip as her
fingers wrapped around his cock like they had a mind of their own
and rubbed him firmly.

“Fuck.” He
muttered. “I’m going to come all over you if you keep doing that,
sweetheart.”

“Sorry.” She
whispered. She reached around him, he groaned when his cock rubbed
against her smooth stomach, and shut the water off before hurrying
out of the shower. She tucked the towel around her body before
using a second towel to dry Reid’s back and chest. She wrapped the
towel around his waist and carefully removed the garbage bag from
his arm before urging him toward the door.

“Go sit on the
couch, I’ll be out in a minute.”

He nodded and
left the bathroom as she quickly stripped out of her wet panties
and bra. There was a t-shirt hanging on the back of the bathroom
door and after a brief look at her pants and shirt, she slipped
into his t-shirt instead.

She was being
silly but she wanted to wear his shirt, wanted to smell him on her
skin after she left him, and she smoothed it down nervously before
joining him in the living room. He was sitting on the couch with
his eyes closed and she touched his shoulder gingerly.

“Reid?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you want to
go to the cafeteria and get something to eat?”

“I really
don’t.” He sighed. “I’m sorry, Selena, but I’d rather just stay
here.”

“That’s fine.
I’ll make you something to eat.”

“You don’t have
to do that.” He protested.

“I don’t mind.”
She squeezed his shoulder and headed into the kitchen.

* * *

“Are you
feeling better?” Selena sat next to Reid on the couch. She had
helped him into a pair of shorts and they had eaten a quick supper,
she had been dismayed at how little he actually ate, before she had
sent him back to the couch to relax as she cleaned up the
dishes.

“Yeah. The
Tylenol is helping a little.” He replied. He was back to being
pensive and withdrawn, and she rested her hand on his arm.

“Reid, if the
pain is that bad you need to see Barb. It was a really bad break
and you might need something a little stronger than Tylenol.”

“It’s fine.” He
said dismissively.

“No, it isn’t.”
She argued. “You’re not yourself and if it’s because of the pain
then you need to – “

“It’s not the
pain.” He snapped at her.

“Then what’s
your problem?” She snapped back.

“I’m useless,
okay? For the next six weeks I’m going to have to sit here in the
damn facility while you and everyone else goes hunting. Do you know
how ridiculous I feel? It’s fucking killing me that you’re going to
be out hunting without me around to prot – “

He stopped and
breathed harshly through his nose. “I can’t even be an effective
teacher right now because I can’t shoot worth shit with my left
hand. How am I supposed to teach them if I can’t even – “

He stopped
again and slammed his hand against the couch. “I’m a complete
fucking waste of space and it’s driving me crazy.”

“You’re not
useless. There’s plenty of stuff you can still do and besides, it’s
only for six weeks.”

“It might as
well be six years.” He muttered.

She could
barely keep the grin from her face at his brow drew down in a
childish scowl.

“You’re not
useless.” She repeated.

“I am.” He
snapped. “Listen, you should go. I’m tired and I – “

“Nope. I’m not
leaving until I convince you that I’m right and you’re wrong.”
Selena replied.

“I’m really not
in the mood for games, sweetheart.” He growled. “Please, just –
“

He stopped as
she jumped up from the couch. Despite what he had said, he really
didn’t want her to leave and he swallowed his disappointment as she
disappeared into the bathroom.

She returned
after only a moment, still dressed in his shirt, and he jerked in
surprise when she straddled him.

“What are you
doing?”

“Showing you
you’re not useless.”

She had a
condom in her hand and he gave her a confused look. “Selena, I’m
not sure what – “

She reached
between them and slid her hand into his shorts. She stroked his
cock and his breath hissed out as he immediately hardened.

“Selena – “

“Be quiet,
Reid. We’re going to fuck, and you’re going to make me come. Got
it?”

“This isn’t
that romantic, sweetheart.”

“Oh, I’m
sorry.” She said tartly as she placed the condom on the arm of the
couch. “I didn’t think you did romance. We’re just two people
having some adult fun together, right?”

“Right.” He
gritted out as her soft hand continued to stroke him.

“Good.” She
suddenly stripped off his shirt and he stared at her small breasts.
Their nipples were already hard and swollen, and he licked his lips
as she ran her fingers through his hair and tugged lightly.

“You just going
to look at them or put your mouth to good use?”

Without
replying, he leaned forward and took one nipple into his mouth. He
traced it with his tongue before sucking hard and she moaned softly
as her hand tightened in his hair. He cupped her other breast with
his left hand, pinching and pulling lightly on her nipple as she
arched her back and urged him to continue.

Her sweet pussy
was practically screaming his name and he slid his left hand
between her spread thighs and stroked the small, neat patch of dark
hair at the top of it before sliding his fingers down. She moaned
again, her legs squeezing his thighs, as he rubbed and stroked her
clit until it swelled under his touch.

“I’m sorry.”
She suddenly muttered. “I can’t wait.”

“Fine with me,
sweetheart.” He rasped.

He raised his
hips so she could ease his shorts down his legs and he kicked them
off impatiently as she tore open the condom wrapper. She rolled it
down over his cock and gave him a brief smile before lifting
herself up and guiding his cock to her entrance. She slid the head
of his cock into her warmth and they both moaned loudly. She pushed
experimentally and then bit at her bottom lip as she hesitated.

“You’re so
thick.” She moaned. “I’m not sure I can - “

She broke off
as Reid reached between her legs and rubbed her clit again. He was
rewarded with her loud cry of pleasure and a surge of wetness and
he rubbed the moisture over his cock.

“Try again.” He
whispered.

She nodded and
pushed downward. This time he slid smoothly into her warmth and he
groaned. Her warmth and the way her pussy squeezed him so tightly
was bringing him dangerously close to the edge.

She began to
move and his hand squeezed her waist. “Wait, please.”

She stopped
immediately and gave him a worried look. “Is something wrong? Did I
do something or – “

He shook his
head. “No. You feel amazing. Too fucking amazing. I need a minute
or I’m going to embarrass myself.”

A small grin
crossed her face and she stroked his face softly. “You’re bigger
than anyone I’ve been with.”

“You’re great
for my ego.” He groaned. Her pussy was making small fluttering
movements around his cock and he gritted his teeth. “Please stop
doing that, sweetheart.”
