RAYNE
My heart hammered against my ribcage as I listened to the loud footsteps approaching the hallway.
I darted down the hallway, slipping into the main bedroom. I shut the door behind me before plopping onto the bed, pretending I had been sitting there all along.
The door opened with a soft click. Reid entered the room, his scent, sandalwood and pine, filled all my senses.
He didn't speak. He didn't look at me; he simply pulled his shirt over his head, tossing it into a dark corner inside the room.
I kept my eyes locked on my hands as they rested on my lap. Reid wordlessly got into bed. The room fell into a fit of silence, and I could feel his eyes burning into my back.
"You heard what I told Aaron," he said, his gravelly voice vibrating through my chest.
I didn't answer.
