Reed's Love

Reed's POV

I added logs to the fire as the sun set outside.

The small house felt huge as I sat before the fire alone. I was accustomed to being alone as I had spent most of my life that way, but this time I felt lonely without her here with me.

It had only been a short time since meeting her yet I couldn't stop thinking about her and the time spent without her just made me count down til she was beside me again.

I stared at the fire for a long time before deciding to take a walk under the moon lit field. I walked until I reached the rose garden. The roses were beautiful and smelled heavenly on the hot summer night. I gazed up at the windows of the house, small candles illuminating the rooms. I wondered which room she was in and if she was thinking of me.

I saw a man, around my age, come to one of the upstairs windows. He stood in the window staring out for several minutes. I moved out of sight and watched him. I knew this had to be Sadie's husband, but part of me never really wanted to put a face on him. It solidified the fact that she would never truly be mine and all we would ever share were stolen moments.

He eventually walked away from the window and I took this time to wander around the rose garden. I came across a small stone building tucked to the side of the garden. I opened the door, discovering a small bath house with a large soaking tub in the middle and a candle chandelier hanging above it. I knew at this time of night no one would be coming out to use the bathhouse and so I took it upon myself to enjoy a hot bath for once.

I filled the large soaking tub and undressed, stepping into the tub and sinking my body below the water.

The hot water felt amazing on my muscles. It had been since I left my own home that I had a hot bath and I didn't realize how much I needed it til now. The creek was great for getting clean, but it never felt truly relaxing.

I reached for a bar of soap and cloth and soaped up the cloth, rubbing it over my body. The soap smelt of flowers and honey, but mostly it reminded me of Sadie.

I scrubbed my hair and then rinsed myself of the soap. I stepped out of the tub and dried off, putting my clothes back on. I walked out of the bathhouse and back into the rose garden. Most of the windows now reflected dark rooms with the exception of one upstairs bedroom, the same one the man stood in earlier. I walked closer to the grand home and to a door on the backside. I didn't know where it led to or if I would be met by someone on the other side, but I decided to take my chances and opened it. I stepped inside a large room filled with cans and bags of grains along with pots and pans and a small table. The room was mostly dark with only the moonlight spilling in from outside. I crept quietly through the room and peaked out the interior door to see a large kitchen area. In the center was a large table lit by the moonlight shining through the windows. At the table sat a girl with her back to me, sipping from a teacup. I watched her sitting there in the dark drinking from her small cup. She was wearing a pale silk nightgown with her long black hair hanging in loose curls to the top of her hips. I knew from her curvy figure and dark hair that this was Sadie.

I scanned the room to ensure no one else was in the room with her and I listened for a moment to hear anyone else awake. I heard nothing and chose this opportunity to quietly walk up to her. I approached her quickly and bent to slip my hand over her mouth so as to not wake anyone if she made a sound of surprise. I pressed my lips to her ear and whispered

"guess who?"

I felt her tense and then immediately relax, turning to face me. She was just as beautiful now in her night gown and unfixed hair as she was any other time. She wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling our bodies together and whispered

"What are you doing here? You could be seen!"

"Shh..shh...I know, but I just couldn't sleep without seeing you." I said quietly.

She smiled in acknowledgement and then pulled me out of the room and into a small coat closet. She quietly closed the door and once the door was closed she grabbed me by my shirt collar and pulled my face to hers. Our lips instantly met and I melted against her body. Her soft pillowy lips against mine felt like heaven. My hands went to her hips and I squeezed them hard, pulling her even closer. We continued to make out and I found myself pushing her against the wall and pulling up her nightgown and sliding my hand between her legs. She moaned against my lips and I kissed her harder allowing my fingers to slid up and down between her lips feeling her getting wet. I pushed a finger inside her, feeling how tight she was and reveling in her body. I pulled my hand back and pulled her nightgown up around her waist and then grabbed her by her thighs and wrapped her legs around me. I held her there against the the wall and she immediately undid my pants, pushing them down my hips and allowing them to hit the floor with a soft thud. I pushed my c**k into her hard.

Mmm....she was so tight and wet. I felt her body squeeze against me and began thrusting in and out of her slow and deep.

She threw her head back and let out a moan. I quickly shoved two fingers in her mouth and whispered

"Shhhh....sweetheart, we can't wake anyone."

She stared into my eyes and began sucking my fingers. I closed my eyes enjoying the sensation and began thrusting into her faster. I pulled my fingers from her mouth and replaced them with my tongue, kissing her passionately. I began to play with her c**t, circling it with the same fingers she had just been sucking on. I felt her body begin to shake and so I pushed deeper inside her and covered her mouth with mine. Her whole body shook and tightened and I could feel her wetness slowly leaking out over my c**k. She moaned into my mouth and I instantly came, filling her sweet little v****a with my c*m. Her eyes rolled back and she pressed her head against the wall. I kissed her lips softly once more before lowering her back to the ground.

I bent to pull up my pants and button them back up. She stood before me, straightening her nightgown.

She grabbed my hand and then peaked out the door.

"It's clear and as much as I don't want to end things here, you cannot stay.." she said sadly.

"I know..I just had to see you." I said.

She pulled my hand and out the closet we went. She lead me back through the door that I had come and into the rose garden.

She cupped my face and pulled it down to hers, kissing me again with longing.

"I love you Sadie.." I whispered huskily against her lips.

"I love you too, Reed" She whispered back.

She kissed me again and then pulled away.

"I must go back inside now before he thinks something is wrong."

I nod in understanding and take her hand, kissing the top of it before parting.

I walk back to the small house in pure bliss.

Loving her and having her love me in return made me feel like I was invincible and could win any war.

Loving her also meant that I would do absolutely anything for her and I knew the first thing I needed to do was to find a way that she could be all mine. I could not continue to share her this way. My heart ached without her presence.

I laid in the bed, staring up at the ceiling and thinking of ways to run away with her before falling asleep.
