**BOOK FOUR**
Reuben is running. Running from a life he never wanted; one he never fit into.

Eli's hands were moving everywhere. I could feel them as they brushed against my arms and face. The sparks that accompanied them shot through my body, only fueling my growing desire for more. For him.
Eli's legs brushed against the couch and I lightly pushed him down before repositioning myself on top of him. His dark eyes met mine and his fingers ran through my hair.
"Reu, you're positive you want this?" He questioned.
"I am," I replied earnestly. "Do you?"
He nodded without hesitation. "I do, I just don't want us to go all the way and then someone regrets it the next day."
"Eli," I called out as I leaned down. "I'm not going to regret this. I want this, I promise."
He searched my eyes, likely looking for any signs of doubt or discomfort, but there was none. I knew what I wanted.
"Let's move to the bedroom," he instructed.
I nodded and Eli gripped my hand, easily guiding me through the house. He opened the bedroom door and the moment we were both inside, I closed the door and kissed him again.
His hands ran down my body, causing me to shiver and when I stared into his eyes, it was as if they'd grown darker with desire. We stood like that for a long moment, just taking in the other's appearance. It was only when Eli spun us around and lightly pushed me onto the bed that I was pulled from the trance I was in.
I knew some people liked to take it slow, but that wasn't the case between Eli and me. Everything felt like a blur—a blur of pent-up sexual frustration. Clothing was frantically removed, hands were everywhere, and trails of hickeys were forming. I welcomed it all. Anything he gave me, I took gladly.
"If you want me to stop then don't hesitate to tell me," Eli said as his hands worked to undo my belt buckle.
"I won't," I promised him.
Soon, he had my belt undone and removed both my pants and boxers. His eyes trailed over my naked form and he exhaled.
"Goddess, Reu," he murmured as he positioned himself between my legs and leaned down to kiss me.
When he pulled back, he started to take off his pants as well but stopped abruptly.
"Condoms," he half-whined, half-groaned. "I don't have condoms."
"I—"
"Maybe I can go get some," he thought out loud.
"Eli."
"But then I'd have to leave you here and I don't want to do that," his gaze ran across my body. "I really don't want to do that."
