Falling In Love with a Heartbreaker

Chapter 6: Are you lost?

Exiting the elevator outside her loft she reached for her keys only to be startled by a voice next to her. “Hello” the voice said, she calmed down her racing heart and turned around, only to have it race even more drinking in the sight of the man before her, “Hi” replied, wow, that sounded shaky.

Sticking his hand out, “Name’s Reece , and you are?”

Smirking she replied, with her hand thrust into his, “Lara.”

This might be easier than she thought. She made no attempt to hide that she was checking him out. She let her eyes roam over his body. And as she returned to his face she realised he was doing the same thing.

Releasing her hand she stepped back, “Are you lost?” While smirking she raised an eyebrow questionably.

Reece smiled revealing a single dimple on his left cheek, Mmmm , “Nah just moved in 3 A, so I guess I’m getting a head start on meeting the neighbours” he said gesturing to her apartment.

“Ah I see, well don’t expect a casserole or anything, I don’t cook” he chuckled, “So I suppose I’ll have to just take you then, instead of you cooking for me huh?”

As she pulled her door to the side she turned around, and shrugged “Yeah I guess so” and with that she stepped inside and closed the door.

That was too easy she thought.

Reece smiled and turned around to his apartment, but a idea entered his mind, he turned an knocked on her door.

She opened and smiled, “You lost again?” He chuckled, “Nah, I need some sugar”, this time she laughed, “Yeah sure thing pretty boy, you work fast huh? You ain’t getting any sugar from me tonight, but I got coffee?”

Reece just laughed as he nodded and she stepped aside to let him in. as he passed her she could smell his spicy aroma, Rich, masculine. She watched as his glided past her, not once did he take his eyes off her. Eyes the colour of a Grey storm.

Reece left her face when he stepped inside her apartment. Looking around he was fascinated.

She closed the door and left his eyes to roam her sanctuary. She walked across the open plan apartment to the kitchen and put on the pot of coffee.

Reece tried to take everything in, She had the Penthouse lofts like his, 20 foot wall with open plan ground floor with the top level overlooking the bottom.

“This is amazing! What do you do?” He questioned still looking around.

“Im an Art Director in for an Advertising company, I oversee the General Art Department but specialise in Special Effects for film.”

“So you painted all of these?” He questioned. “Yes, these are all my works.” She replied. Reece was captivated by this woman even more. Not only was she stunning but she was sure as hell talented. Her brick walls were covered from top to bottom with an array of paintings, photos, books and movies, rows and rows of shelves of movies.

He wouldn’t have expected anything less from the amount of movies, when he found out she works in film. As his eyes roamed around the rest of her apartment he noticed the red leather couches, to her black wooden Dining table to a space at the back of her apartment. He couldn’t stop himself wanting to see everything in this magical place. He walked to where the faint lighting was and noticed piles and piles of sketches, portraits, landscapes, models cartoon drawings, shelves of Acrylics, Water paints, almost 20 cups screwed to the wall of pencils, colouring crayon, Koki’s charcoals and paintbrushes. Leaning against the walls were canvas upon canvas on finished and unfinished pieces of art, more shelves filled with sculptures created out of clay.

“I see you found my workspace all by yourself huh?” Startled Reece turned to find Lara behind him looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Reece’s cheeks pinked up, “I’m sorry, this is amazing, I’m kind of scared of how amazing you are” He gestured to her studio.

This caused a laugh from her. “This is a mess, come on, I promised coffee didn’t I?” With that she walked towards the kitchen. As she turned away Reece once again eyed the woman in front of his, every inch of her body was amazing, from her shapely legs, to her ass, oh God, her ass, his eyes remained until he noticed she wasn’t moving which caused him to stop and look up only to find her eyes on him. She was smirking knowingly at him.

With that she turned around and kept on. 

Reece joined her in the kitchen, she had the magnetism to her he couldn’t resist the sex appeal that oozed out of her. The way her body swayed enticing any male to blatantly look.

“So you seeing anyone?” Reese began. Hesitating before her reply, thinking it was best to be blunt “Honey your hot, but I’m gonna lay it out there, you interested in sex with me or cuddling sharing emotions? Cause if your that latter type of guy, you know where the door is.”

She spotted the desire as soon as she said sex, She knew she would have no thoughts of that infuriating Jerk she had to endure the whole evening, so to her surprise her night just perked right up.

“So what you wanna do? “

Reece chose the former and that night she didn’t once think of clear light blue eyes, thick locks of black hair. All she had on her mind was Reece, not to mention other places of her body.

Reece fell asleep after their ravenous night. She let that slide, she knew he lived next door, wouldn’t be able to escape him if she had slipped out of his bed. So as much as it annoyed her he cuddled as this was a BIG No-No.

So when her alarm went off at 05h00, his butt had to get outta her bed.
