Reed felt her finger tips along his cheek and he smiled. She had a sweetness about her, and a vulnerability as well. Reed had the typical male problem of being totally oblivious most of the time, hence his transgression with the wine glass. However, there were things he noticed. Like her shock at him not wanting to hide what they were...whatever that was. He suspected it was from a certain amount of habit, perhaps not one but several lovers that had done so. Reed understood the thinking behind it as well. He'd done it before. Hidden a woman. Broken her heart. And for some reason, the thought of anyone doing it to Adrienne made Reed's blood simmer.
Reed chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Just like a woman," Reed teased and squeezed her thigh playfully. If he were honest with himself, he would notice that he enjoyed waking up to Adrienne, and he'd been a little let down when he thought she'd left that morning. If he were honest, he'd notice how affectionate she made him want to be, as opposed to the raw power of his normally sexual self (though of course he still had that power too). And if he were honest with himself, he'd see how utterly hypnotized by her beauty and her persona he'd become. Addicted, quickly, like one gets to heroine.
"Since it was my idea to take you to the gala, I'll fit the bill for this one, sweetheart. We'll go shopping. But only if I get to pick out what goes under it," he teased boyishly.
