Changing Fates - Reid Garwin

Page 7

After our little date/excursion he drove us back to the Academy and even gave me a piggyback ride up to my dorm room where we could hear yelling from next door in Kate and Sarah's dorm. 'You're being ridiculous! What is your problem?'

It was completely muffled but we could hear it in the corridor, 'Chase is my problem.' We had only been standing in the corridor for a second as we stopped a few dorms down when we heard the yelling, 'What, are you jealous?!'

It sounded bad but I knew where he was coming from, her and Chase were pretty flirty with each other when they shouldn't be, 'I don't want you hanging around him." We couldn't hear anything else from their conversation as they quieted down a lot, "Keep walking toots."

I turned to look at Reid as I smacked his arm, "oh you'd love to see me walking, wouldn't you babe?" Neither of us heard the door open as Reid held onto me and walked me back into the wall as I tried not to smile, "Ember? Reid?"

I went beet red faster than the speed of light as I face planted myself into Reid's chest on accident causing the boy in question to chuckle at me, "Hey Pogue, whassup man?"

They talked for less than a few seconds when I was pulled by Reid to my room, "Bye Ember. Have fun." I exchanged a quiet goodbye with him as I was still flushed with embarrassment, "Oh my god, Reid..." My whine made him laugh as he corralled me into my little dorm room.

"Come on, let's get you a cold compression." I made a weird face as he pulled me behind him, "It's compress babe," he turned to me once we were in front of my mirror that hung over the bathroom sink, "Yeah, that's what I said, now don't move or I'll have to tie you down."

Ohh? "Is that how you like to play?" I lifted my chin to expose the already forming bruise on my neck, "Are we gonna play hostages?" I wanted to laugh at him but the way he looked at my throat made my thoughts wander. He was very focused, clearly concerned, it made me close my mouth as his fingers touched my neck and wrapped an extra compress around it. "Thank you..."

He stopped his ministrations to look at my face as I tilted to the side so he could finish, I didn't expect him to say anything as he smoothed it against my battered skin, "Always." My skin twitched as he ran the tips of his fingers down to my collarbone, "Is my tie good enough?"

I was confused as he slipped his tie off with relative ease, before I could say anything he snapped it like one would do with a belt and my face flushed a deep red, so that's what he meant...

Unfortunately for him I wasn't one to back down easily and become a shy blubbering mess when it came to these situations, "Way to ruin the moment babe... I like em' tight by the way." I had shoved my hands in front of me, my wrists pressed tightly together.

It seemed we were both a bit stubborn in this regard though, my hands became tied with a simple orange flash of his eyes and I threw my arms over his head to wrap around him. "Now you've fallen into my trap..." I feigned surprise trying not to laugh as he picked me up by my thighs, wrapping myself around his waist. I leaned in close, whispering softly against the shell of his ear, "oh no, what ever shall I do?"

"Ember?!" I didn't even bother looking over at the door as I heard it slam shut, "My sister just saw us like this didn't she?" He burst out laughing as he laid us onto the bed pulling my arms from around him and taking his tie, "Sorry," I only looked at him in thought, "Maybe she won't pick my lock anymore to get in." I giggled before rolling over on top of him, "I love how warm you are."
