Dangerously yours

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

"Alright. We can do that. I'm going to head out now. " I move to open the door and she waves at me then struts into the diner.

As I drive home I reflect on the fact that I am about to go out for coffee with a woman when I am hung up on another woman. I try to direct my thoughts away from Sky. I have tried although not totally successful to keep thoughts of Sky out of my mind. 

This could be a good idea for me. I mean I can't exactly move on from someone without actually moving. This could be good for me, I can work  on finally moving on after all these. 

I never want to hurt my friend and our little family and if this is going to help us all move on then I will take it. By the way Claire is a very nice girl and I am willing to work to see how things go on between us. 

I have another appointment with my therapist and then I have to put a call across to my buddy George. We are both working on this project together. He is a tech guy, very good with the computer, a tech genius or prodigy as they call it. So he will be putting is tech skills to use for the benefit of the center. 

We set up a meeting for this noon. We are to go over the plans again and set it in motion. We have another investor. Pope Henson, a young military friend who comes from old money. Apparently he and George have been childhood friends for a long time. We have met only once and he seems like a good guy, intense and brooding. 

The first time I looked at him I saw a darkness I have never seen in anyone's eyes before. It was like a raging storm waiting to be unleashed. I didn't get his entire story from my buddy but it seemed like he had gone through s**t in his life. So where he comes in his that he has connections and would be using them to get us the best up to date equipments and facilitates for the place. 

I drive over to my shrink's office for my first appointment. Left to me I wouldn't have made the decision to see a psychiatrist but if I want to help people and I myself I'm not hundred percent or close to hundred percent, I'll just end up dragging people down with me.  

I park into the parking lot of the building. It's an office complex. I take the elevator up to the fourth floor, room 201 on the door it reads 'Doctor Hector Grace'. I knock on the door and go in there's a middle aged receptionist and I walk up to her. There's an appreciative gleam in her eyes.

"Hello ma'am, I am Reid Gordon I have an  appointment booked for 3,o'clock. " I put my hands into the back pocket of jeans and Try not to look so nervous. 

She clicks away on her desktop.

"Yes, I have you here for 3,o'clock. She has someone in and she will done with that any moment. You can have your seat sir." She smiles at me. 

"Thank you."  I sit down, bring out my phone and check my emails. 

At exactly 3,o'clock the door opens up and a young middle aged woman steps out with a young man. He walks out for the office and The woman I assume is my shrink flashes me a smile. 

"Mr Reid Gordon, it's nice to meet you. Come on in."

REID's POV

After dinner a couple of days ago I and Claire exchanged numbers and called it a night. She seems great, good sense of humor, very gorgeous. 

I think back to my youth, then if I wanted to get laid all I had to do was go to a bar and turn on the charm. But I have put those youth philandering days behind me, I'm actually interested in getting to know the person I'm going to be f*****g into the night, to have an actual connection with the woman. 

I mean i find myself attracted to Claire, no red blooded man wouldn't be attracted to the former model, she's a very good person and we actually have great conversations. 

I remember Little Sky. I walk to the kitchen and take a bottle and gulp it down, I flex my muscles, walk to my makeshift gym. I actually Redid this particular room, it was either that or a study, so since I'm always on my feet and the military instills certain things such as the exercise, neatness and discipline that becomes routine.

I take a couple of hours to work out, when I'm done I'm sweaty and I'm need for a quick shower. 

I hear a sharp intake of breathe and turn towards the sound, my hackles up, wondering who got into my house. 

My eyes land on wide green eyes and they seem to be Stuck on me, my chest to be precise. That gives me a warm feeling, makes me want to puff my chest out. I mean it is good for any man's ego.  My eyes go from her beautiful blonde hair, they are always glossy and shiny, makes me want to put my hands into the the top bun and watch it tumble down to her back, the way she has her up exposes her slender neck, I see her pulse rapidly moving as she keeps staring at me, her bountiful boobs are enclosed in a tight baby pink t-shirt that says 'dreams have wings', short shorts and her normal flip flops that I'm just discovering she wears every where. 

"Princess my eyes are up here but if you want to look I really don't mind baby." I smirk and my grin when she flushes. 

Her pale skin is stained with red, this is common, she could never hide the blush whenever she's embarrassed or complimented she would immediately flush red like a tomato. 

I watch her dilated pupil focus on my face and narrow to slits, It's humorous to watch her turn  into a hellcat, lately I have found it enjoyable to rile her up and watch her explode on me. 

"Don't flatter yourself you conceited bastard, I lost my footing there for a second." I walk over to her slowly giving her time to let my movement to her sink in. 

She gets a weary look on her and place her hands on her waist and holds her ground watching me approach. I see trepidation and a flash of lust pass in her eyes before it's gone and replaced with feminine ire and annoyance. 

"What is this about Reid?."  She says with a feigned bored look. 

I keep an amused face on my face, I get to her and Lean down to her face level, she leans back to peer up at my face.

"Princess, if you find my body smoking, sexy and gorgeous you don't need to hide it, I mean, you wouldn't be the first." I say arrogantly. 

She seethes with anger and I watch her bubble up, this fills me with excitement. 

"Truthfully, from myself to you I wouldn't mind if you want a piece of this cake." I smugly say with a smirk . 

"You conceited, arrogant man. I don't want a piece of this cake." She raises up her hand in the air to make quotes as she says piece of cake. I smother a laugh, she's so cute when she's rilled up. 

"And Soldier you need a shower so please get your sweaty body away from me this instance  Reid, don't touch me with all that sweat on you." She looks at me as her mouth curls in disgust. 

"Awwnnnn, you don't want a hug from me ??, you can't be serious, come here for a hug." I stretch my arms out to her. 

"You can't be serious Reid, you wouldn't!!" She looks apprehensive as she looks behind her and gauges how fast she can run and if she can make it out of the room before I catch her. 

"But I am serious princess, don't you want to hug.?" I ask with a mock serious face. 

"Reid Gordon!!!!! Don't you dare! Stay away from me." She practically screeches now and backs away slowly. 

I walk faster to her and run the rest of the way. She screams and turns around and makes a quick run for the door. I pounce on her and wrap her in my arms. 

"Awwwwnnn, isn't this nice princess?. Just the two of us having a nice long hug." I say with a full blown smile on my face, I'm trying so hard not to laugh because that would only make her more mad. 

"Reidddddd, you're so dead." She screams and I can't help it anymore I burst into laughter. I release her a little but not completely out of my arms and laugh even harder when I see her face all red, angry and pouty. She looks so adorable. 

Awareness kicks in and i notice our position, one of her hand is gripping one of my arm and her hand is wrapped around my biceps or what little her hand can grab and my hand is firmly around her waist where I gripped her when she tried to run. My d**k immediately lengthens at the proximity. She also notices our position, her eyes expand and her mouth open In a gasp, my hands flex on her waist involuntarily. She looks up to my face and I'm immediately lost in those green eyes.
