Seeking Prince Charming Read Online Free Page A

under the thin fabric of the knee-length black skirt she was wearing. His eyes moved up to the red blouse unbuttoned just enough to give him a hint of what to expect underneath the fabric. To his dismay an erection began to form from watching her.
    She’s going to think I’m some sort of sex-starved fucking pervert, I can’t even be near her without being hard. 
    He gave Corey a swat on the shoulder. “Okay, man. Game over. Beat it.”
    “Wow. I was wrong. Shit, if chicks like that are on the Internet then maybe I need to take a crack at it.”
    Reed laughed. “Problem is they usually get to know you first online and I doubt you’d make it to the first date.”
    Corey laughed with him. “Prick.”
    As she approached, she hesitated a moment a dubious look on her face, no doubt considering what type of greeting would be appropriate. Taking her out of her misery and perhaps being a little forward, although he didn’t care, Reed put down the pool cue and slipped his arms around her, pulling her in tight to him despite the fact she’d feel his erection. Fuck it if she did.
    “Would it sound desperate and stalkerish if I told you I’d missed you,” he whispered into her ear so Corey couldn’t hear before regrettably pulling away. He could see the disappointment in her eyes as he pulled away and it made him feel damned good.
    She gave him a saucy little grin. “Little bit. But I feel the same way.”
    He’d almost forgotten Corey was still there, until the sound of someone loudly clearing his throat from behind reminded him. Turning and stepping aside he motioned toward him. “This would be my roommate Corey.”
    She took a step back and eyed first Reed, then Corey and then back to Reed. “Wow, you two look a lot alike.”
    “Yeah, we get that a lot.”
    Corey slung his arm around Reed’s shoulder. “Yeah, when we were freshmen we’d tell chicks we were brothers. Seems chicks and their friends love dating brothers.”
    Crossing her arms over her chest, she cocked a brow at Reed. “You did that, huh?”
    Reed shot Corey a glare. “Look, change of plans, let’s get out of here. Corey can pick up the tab.” He turned back to Corey and gave him a pat on the back. “Right, pal?”
    Corey’s jaw clenched. “Yeah, would love to.”
    “Good.” Grinning, Reed slipped an arm around Chloe’s waist and escorted her from the pool hall, a little quicker than necessary. Corey had lots of shit on him and would be more than happy to share it with Chloe. Since this relationship, if that was what it was, was so new he was determined to make a great impression. She seemed to think he really was the Prince Charming she’d been praying for and he didn’t want that to change. Corey telling her all the stupid shit he’d done over the past few years certainly wouldn’t paint a wonderful picture. He’d appear like every other dick she’d encountered and dammit he wanted to be better than that for her.
    “You seemed to be trying to get me out of there pretty quick.”
    Reed looked down at her as they walked across the parking lot toward his car. She was eyeing him intently, but an amused smile played on her lips. “If you get him talking we’ll be there all night, and maybe I want you to myself tonight.”
    “Nice save,” she said, with a laugh, rolling her eyes at him. “So he has a lot of crap on ya, huh?”
    “More than I’d like.” Reaching his car, he opened the door for her and motioned for her to get in. “I’ll bring you back for your car later.”
    She placed a hand on his chest, refusing to enter the vehicle. “Just wait a second. I want to know a secret. Something he has on you. It can’t be any worse than some of the stupid crap you did when we were kids.”
    “Don’t be so sure.” Reed thrust a hand into his hair. “Come on. It’s just stupid, embarrassing things really.” He motioned a second time for her to enter.
    She leaned against the door, refusing to budge, a wide smile on her lips.
