My heart raced as his words ran a ruckus in my head. "You scared?"

"I don't do scared, asshole. Bring it on."I growled, joining our hands and placing my other hand on his shoulder.

He grinned and spun me as we waltzed about the library. Soon enough we had finished dancing and my cheeks were hurting from all the laughing he made me do.

I let go of him and I smiled."That was the most fun I've ever had."I blushed. He nodded and opened his mouth to say something when his phone rang.

"Hey, baby, you get there safely?"He turned away from me and answering his phone.

What was I thinking? He has a girlfriend. Besides, I'm a six and he's a ten. He's so fit I'm insecure.

I looked away, grabbing a romance novel and walking away, not wanting to hear their conversation. It seemed much too private.

I wish I had someone like Reed had someone. I opened the door and left, deciding to go out to the gardens to read my book in the sun.

I sat on a patio chair and opened the book.

'Lorenzo had always been a careless guy but with her he was different. Careful and safe. It scared him. But he loved her.'

Shit, this is too cliché. I shut the book and just leaned back, closing my eyes.

I hummed the tune of the song I sang a few days ago while I was in the tub, playing with the bubbles.

"What are you doing?"a voice startled me and the bubble hat I was making on my head broke.

"Reed, what the Hell!?"I gasped, covering myself.

"I heard splashing around so I thought you were in trouble..."He blushed.

"Well as you can see, I'm fine. Now get the fuck out."I glared at him.

He held his hands up in surrender as he backed out,"Alright alright."

I waited until he was out the door before I got out, no longer in the mood to play with the bubbles. I wrapped the towel around myself and I walked out, finding him sitting on my bed. By my clothes. Holding the photo of my mother."Why do you have a picture of Joslyn?"He looked up at me.

"Why are you in my room? I thought I told you to get the fuck out."I raised a brow

He sighed,"Lucifer sent me to check up on you. Apparently, he saw you out in the gardens and you 'looked so sad' so he thought I could get you to talk. I also wanted to ask you a few questions."

"That can wait and I'm fine. Out."I pointed at the door. He raised a brow at me and still sat there, crossing his arms, eyes scanning my body.

"Nope. Not until you tell me why you have a picture of Joslyn."He looked at me pointedly.

"Alright then." I began to unwrap my towel from around myself and he jumped up.

"Jesus, I'm going! Just keep yourself covered."He was out the door in a flash and I chuckled. My smile fell as I sat on my bed.

I sighed and began drying myself off, getting dressed. I picked up the photo of mama and put it in my jean pocket, grabbing my phone and walking out.

I found myself walking to Lucifer's office. "Da-Lucifer, I need some money. For my school supplies? If I'm to be here, I'd like to continue my studies."I raised a brow at him.

"Of course, Princess. Here's my card. Spend as much as you need. I'll have Reed take you to the mall as a bodyguard."He smiled.

I found myself smiling in return,"Thanks Lucifer."I said softly, knowing he heard me as I walked out.

Shopping was so much fun! Well for me anyways. Reed kept complaining about how excited I got about the school supplies and how I bought out most of the mall's supply of school supplies to which I just told him,"When you're a stationery addict like me you'll understand. Ooh! They have top model books!"

I made my way to Lucifer's office and found him talking on the phone,"Get it done, Hobbs or you'll be sent to the pits of Hell."

I stood there awkwardly, holding my colour pencils, pencils, pens, eraser, and top model books. He looked up,"Hi, Princess. How was shopping?"He asked as he put the phone down.

"It was fun! I bought art supplies too!"I grinned.

"Can we talk?"He bit his lip. I nodded, taking a seat in the chair in front of him. I put my stuff on the desk.

"What do you want to talk about?"I leaned back in my chair.

"Look, I wanna know why you're so frigid with me... I know I left you and your mother long ago-"

"Fifteen years ago to be exact."I cut him off.

"Right...Anyways, I apologize for that but I had no choice, Hell was crumbling and I couldn't protect both you and your mother at the same time as ruling Hell."

"An angel, one of her own, killed her. In front of me. Do you know how that haunts me!?"I stood up,"I couldn't protect her from Michael! He murdered her in front of me because of you!"Because of me...

"I know and I'm so sorry, Claire. I never meant to get her killed. She was my Destiny. I would have died for her..."He sighed.

"I think about her every day, Claire. I think about all the ways I could have stayed and protected the both of you..."

"You don't know the trauma I've been through...You don't know what it's like to watch your mother be killed by her own brother in front of you then to have your uncle rape you. Yes that's right, he raped me. And six year old me could do nothing but let him manhandle me. I was lucky to get away before he killed me too."

"Claire, I-"He started only to be cut off by me putting my hand up.

"Dad, I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself and prove to me that I can trust you."I smiled softly.

A crash sounded. Metal and wood hitting tile."S-Sinclaire?"I turned to find Reed standing in the doorway, his scythe on the floor

I gulped."Y-yeah?"I winced at the sound of my voice, filled with fear.

"You're-You're the princess?"He stammered.

"Yeah?"I raised a brow before I was sucked into a memory.

"Come on Reed, the horses won't feed themselves!"I grabbed the little boy with blue eyes' arm, tugging him to the stables where Fire Horses were.

"Sin?"He chewed on his lip.

"Yeah?"I turned to him, grinning.

He pecked my cheek and hugged me."You're the best friend in the world."He grinned.

"You're my best friend too, Reed."I blushed.

I was brought back to the present by Lucifer and Reed."Claire?Are you okay?"

I nodded mutely."How could I forget you?"I frowned at Reed.

"When I left, your mother forced me to remove all memory of your destiny... Somehow they were just pushed deep down..."

"My destiny? So you're saying-"

"That you and Reed are destined to be together?Yes."

"I-I think I need to have a nap..."I turned and walked out.

***
"R-Reed..."A breathy moan fell from my red lips as he suckled on my nipple, biting and licking too.

"I love how my name sounds coming from your lips."He husked. The wetness between my legs grew and I wrapped my legs around his waist tighter.

His jean-clad erection hit my panty-clad core and I moaned, my back arching, pressing my breasts into his face even more.

His long fingers trailed firey paths down my cream coloured skin to my red, lacy thong. They slipped into the thin material and his thumb pressed on my clit as his index and middle fingers slipped into my wet heat. I ground my hips against his fingers, shamelessly seeking the friction I needed him to give me.

"Reed!Ah..."I moaned as he pumped his fingers in and out of my heat fast, drawing me to the edge as his mouth latched onto my other nipple, giving it the same treatment as the other. My heat clenched around his fingers, signalling that I was close to coming. He slowed down, pushing me away from the edge.

It continued like that for a while, him pushing me to the edge then backing me away from it, driving me mad."Reed, please let me come..."I moaned loudly, my fingers gripping the sheets on either side of my head.

"Come for me, Princess."He husked,"Come all over my fingers like the little slut you are."

His words drove me over the edge as I squirted all over his fingers. He stared into my eyes as I came.

"Ahhhh, Reed!"I jolted upright, waking up from the weird dream I was having.

"What's wrong!?You yelled my name!"He gasped, rushing into my room, shirtless in a pair of basketball shorts and I could see his tattoo...

(Tattoo above)

"Damnit, Reed!"I sucked in a breath, clenching my thighs.

"Are you okay?"He frowned. I gulped and nodded, not trusting my voice.

"You're sweating. Are you ill?"He wiped my hair off my forehead and handed me some water.

He watched as I drank the water, trailing his fingers down my throat, chest, stomach and down under the blanket, under my night dress and into my panties.

You're wet..."He mused. He leans down and kisses me, his fingers still moving rhythmically inside me, his thumb circling and pressing. I felt myself nearing the brink of orgasm. He tugs on my clit and that sends me off the cliffs edge. His other hand scoops my hair off my head and holds my head in place. His tongue mirrors the actions of his fingers, claiming me, pushing me to the brink of orgasm once more.

My legs begin to stiffen as I push against his hand. He gentles his hand, so I’m brought back from the brink. I come instantly again and again, falling apart beneath him then I’m building again. I climax anew, calling out his name.

"Reed!"I cry out. He pulls away and sucks on his fingers

"Mmm...Sweet...Taste yourself..."He sccops up my nectar and holds his coated fingers in front of my face. I open my mouth and he slips his soaked fingers into my mouth.

I wrap my lips around his fingers and stare into his ocean blue eyes under my lashes.

"Fuck, Princess."He bit his lip, eyes darkening lustfully.

I released his fingers,"I taste good."I smirked.

His watch beeped and he groaned,"I have to go, love."

With that he left me panting and regretting what just happened. I made him cheat... I'm a homewrecker...

***
I stared into space as I sat on my window seat, watching the rain as it pelted down on my window, hugging my petit frame.

"Sin?"A voice said. Reed. I ignored him and sighed."Sin, are you okay?"

I nodded mutely and bit my lip. I knew I was overreacting and all but seriously?The first time it's ever happened to me and it's with a guy in a relationship."Sin, baby, talk to me. You're worrying me."

"Reed?D-do you regret what happened last week?In my room?"I bit my lip, looking at him.

"Why?Do you?And no I don't."He cupped my cheek.

"I do..."I looked down at my black sock-clad feet.

"Why?"

"Because you're in a relationship... I'm a homewrecker..."

"Right..."He sucked in a breath, nodding as if he just remembered. I raised a brow.

"Exactly. So please... I think it's best if we distance ourselves from each other for a while..."

"Yeah, You're probably right... I have been a bit distracted lately...Tell me something though..."

"What?"I sighed, opening my bag and pulling my favourite book out. The bronze horseman was my all-time favourite book mainly because of the fact that it's based in Russia during the war with Germany. That and the way the author describes Alexander Barrington and Tatiana Metanova.

"What happened to your tracking chip and what happened to Joslyn?"His eyes held pain.

"She was killed by my uncle...And mama had it removed for safety reasons when I was four."I opened the book.

"Oh okay..."He sighed."Well I have to go, souls to escort to the court for judgement and all... I'm sorry for your loss, Sin."And with that he walked out, his usually stiff shoulders slumped in defeat.

I felt bad, I really did, but it was better that way.

' "Look at me"

"I can't,"She whispered.

Alexander cupped her small face in his massive hands."Are you...Scared?"

"Terrified" '

I sighed and closed the book. Reed, come back, I'm sorry!

I got up and made my way to the kitchen and Sam was there, making chicken stir-fry.

"Hey, Sam."I said softly.

"Hello, Sinclaire. What is wrong? Why you are sad?"

"Boy troubles."I sighed, reaching out to take a piece of chicken out the pan.

"Keep your hands away from food. Is not cooked finish. Is it Reed?"He slapped my hand away.

I chuckled then sighed,"Yes. I like him and we did...things...but then I remembered that he has a girlfriend. It kinda hurts though, ya know? What with him being my destiny and all."I sighed again.

"Ah. I see. But you know they have argument other day? They break up. She not want to do long distance relationship."He said suggestively.

"Oh...Well, I kind of told him that we should keep our distance from each other for a while..."

"Ay, back when I had my destiny I savour every moment with her. She was best thing in my life. She make me happy."

"That's sweet."I smiled."So is dinner ready? I'm starving."I emphasized my point by rubbing my flat belly.

He chuckled and nodded,"Yes. Is ready. You set table, I bring food."

I did as he said, setting the table. Lucifer walked into the dining room and took a seat."Hey, Princess. What's wrong?"He looked worried.

"Nothing Dad..."I sighed, taking a seat. Reed entered and our eyes locked, my breath hitching. Reed...

"Hey, Luce."Reed said, sitting next to Lucifer.

"Is there something going on that I'm not aware of between you two?"Lucifer frowned.

"What makes you say that, dad?"I raised a brow, panicking slightly.

"You two are acting weirder than SpongeBob SquarePants."He said. I cracked a laugh."No seriously, I don't get why that sponge is so stupid and childish."

"It's complicated, Luce."Reed sighed, picking at his food. I bit my lip. Reed, I'm sorry but it's better this way...

"Yeah it is."I pursed my lips. Much better this way.

I tossed my fork down onto my plate and got up, walking out.
