Basic Chemistry: LOVE 101 - WILLOW BAY NOVELLA

by Layne, Harlow

  “How about you? How’s your lady doing?”

  I want to laugh at the absurdity that both of us want women we can’t seem to have. “If you mean she wants to continue doing what we’re doing, which is seeing each other maybe twice a week outside of class and continue hiding the fact that we’re… I don’t even know what, man, then it’s going great.”

  “Damn, man, is she holding out on you?”

  “No,” I laugh, wondering why he asked that. “Why?”

  “Because it sounds like you need to get laid.”

  I did, but it wasn’t enough. It’s never enough in the short time we have with each other.

  “Fuck off, man. I get laid plenty.” I don’t need his shit.

  “If that’s the case, then what’s the problem?”

  Even before a word comes out of my mouth, I know I’m going to sound like some pussy-whipped douchebag. “I’m tired of sneaking around. I thought once I wasn’t in her class anymore, we could, I don’t know, be out together or some shit like that, but no. She wants to keep our relationship in a ten by ten-foot room in the library.”

  “Damn, man, is she ashamed of you?” He laughs, joking, but it makes me wonder if maybe Roxie is embarrassed by me. “Hey, don’t start thinking that way. I was only kidding. There’s no way in hell she’s ashamed of you.”

  “I don’t know. Maybe you’re right. All I know is if my fucking roommates don’t go home for break, I’m screwed.”

  “You mean you won’t be screwed,” he laughs, and it makes me smile even when I don’t feel like it.

  “Yes, asshole, that’s what I meant.”

  “Why don’t you come here for break? I’d love to see you, and you two could have some private time.”

  “I wish we could, but she can’t. She takes care of her brother and can’t leave him overnight.” Which makes me feel guilty when I ask for more of her time.

  “Sucks to be you then. Well, if the roommates don’t leave and you won’t be seeing your lady, why not come visit me? It would be nice to see a friendly face that isn’t one of the three guys currently making my life difficult.”

  “I might just do that. Either way, maybe I’ll at least make a day trip or make it an overnighter, so we can hang out.”

  “I’d like that. Just let me know when. Titan set us up in a pretty sick place here, and there’s more than enough room for you to stay if you want.”

  “I’ll take you up on that. I’m still a broke college kid until I start my job this summer.”

  “Fuck, I can’t believe you’ll be a working stiff in a few short months.”

  It doesn’t seem real, but I’m ready, especially if it gets me closer to spending time with Roxie outside of school.

  “Well, I can’t believe you left without saying goodbye, asshole,” I shoot back. This isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned it, but couldn’t he have stopped by on his way out of town at least? Instead, all I got was a text.

  “Stop being a bitch about it. I let you know I left, and I knew we’d see each other again, just not when.”

  “Fucking hell, she is turning me into a woman. I feel like I’m always complaining about my feelings and shit like that lately. What’s happened to me? The next thing I know, I’ll be having my period.”

  Walker laughs long and hard. “You’re pussy-whipped, plain and simple. It’s up to you to do something about it.”

  “What can I possibly do?” Walker is the only one I can talk to about Roxie, and it helps we’re sort of in the same predicament.

  “Make her see what she’s got.”

  That’s his advice?

  “You suck at this, you know?” I grumble.

  “Sorry, I’m not a girl. This is the best you’re going to get.” He lets out an annoyed sigh and then a loud yell. “I’ve got it.”

  My brows pull together. “What’s that?”

  “What you can do to Ms. Teacher. You need to make her jealous. Make her realize that if she can’t give you more than you’re getting, you’ve got plenty of other options.”

  “That’s got to be the—”

  “Best idea ever,” he interrupts. “Trust me, dude, it will work. Have my plans ever let you down before?”

  “No, but I don’t see how this is going to make her want to be to be with me.” She already said she thought I would get tired of her. If I tried to make her jealous, it would only prove her point.

  But I’m desperate enough to try just about anything to make Roxie step out from the shadows with me.

  “I know you’re thinking about it. Yes,” he yells. “If you need more advice, call me since I give the best damn advice,” he boasts. “But for now, I’ve got to go and eat before we have to head back inside the studio.”

  “Good luck tonight, and remember I’m always here for you,” I tell him. He tried to help me, and I’ve been utterly useless in helping him.

  “I know,” he says. It feels like there’s more he wants to say, but then there’s someone yelling in the background. It sounds like Greer, but I might be wrong. “Talk later.”

  Now I just need to decide if I should listen to Walker and try to make Roxie jealous or wait and see how this plays out.

  Roxie’s red lips pout down at me. “I hate that you’re going to spend Thanksgiving alone.”

  I want to say she could invite me to her place, but I know that’s not an option.

  Licking along her breastbone, I hover over her mouthwatering tit, wanting to take it into my mouth and mark her. Taking her pert nipple into my mouth, I suck hard and don’t stop until she’s writhing on top of me. Her slick cunt slides over my shaft, coating me in her juices.

  I let her tit pop out of my mouth and smile up at her when she lets out a moan of disapproval. “I’ll be fine. I’ll order pizza and watch Willow Bay kick some football ass.”

  At least my roommates will be gone, and I’ll have the whole house to myself for an entire week. I don’t tell her I plan to clean the place up so that she can come over.

  “Now, why don’t you ride my dick and make me a happy man?”

  Her red lips spread into a wide grin as she continues to rub herself all over me like a cat in heat. She wants to play, but I can’t wait a moment longer to slip inside of her. When her opening runs over the tip of my cock, I grip her waist and thrust inside of her.

  She looks down at me with wide and excited eyes. Her hands go to my shoulders to anchor herself as I piston my hips up, slamming into her tight cunt over and over again.

  “Oh, God, Merrick,” she chants as she places one hand on the roof of her car and grinds down on me, taking what she wants. Throwing her head back, she lets out a sultry moan that nearly has me unloading inside her.

  Gripping her neck, I suck and nibble along the column of her slender neck. Watching her skin turn pink from my attention sets something primal off in me. I wish we had more room. Fucking someone in a car is hot once, maybe twice, but when it’s one of your only options, it starts to feel limiting. Still, I wrap my arms around her and lay her down on the backseat. It’s a tight fit, but I need more. Hooking her legs over my arms, I place one hand on the window and slam into her.

  Each thrust is punishing as my thighs slap against her ass. The sound only makes me push harder. My breath is ragged, and it’s the perfect accompaniment to her loud moans and the way she cries out as she starts to let go.

  Her walls start to quiver and suck me in as I pull out. I want to give her the best fucking orgasm of her life. Ruin her for all other men and make it known no one will satisfy her the way I do.

  Roxie’s back arches, and that’s when I strike. I slap her pussy, and Roxie convulses underneath me. She yells so loud I’m shocked the windows don’t shatter.

  I slow my stride and wait for her to start to come down, and only then do I pick up my pace, drawing out her pleasure. My thumb moves to her clit, and I rub furious circles.

  “Merrick, it’s too much,” she moans, her eyes rolling into the back
of her head. “Please,” she begs.

  I’m not sure if she wants more or for me to stop, but either way, I continue rolling her sweet little nub with my fingers as I slam into her. Her walls never once stop fluttering and quaking around me. I can’t imagine what it must be like for her because it’s the best damn thing that’s ever happened to my dick.

  When I can’t hold back any longer, I hike her leg up high and bury myself deep and spill inside of her.

  Letting her legs down, I pull her up with me and sit her on my lap. I relax against the seat and enjoy the feel of Roxie’s hot breath on my skin. It’s not until she shifts, and my wet cock is trapped against my leg, that I realize I fucked her without a condom. I was too caught up with her teasing me.

  “Roxie, baby,” I run my hand down her damp back.

  When she only makes a sound, I tangle my hand in her hair and pull her back to look at me. Her brows knit together as she looks up at me with sleepy eyes. “Is it already time to go?”

  “Not yet.” At least, I don’t think so. “Baby, I… I’m sorry. I got caught up in the moment, and I didn’t use a condom.”

  Her sleepy eyes stay trained on me as they trace over my face.

  “I promise I’m clean. I haven’t been with anyone else since—” I start until she stops me.

  Placing her fingers over my mouth, she hushes me. “If I thought for one second that you had an STD, I wouldn’t be fucking you. Condom or not. I’m on the pill. I have been since I was sixteen years old to regulate my periods.”

  That’s a relief, but it was still irresponsible of me.

  “I’ve never gone without one. I should have known it felt too good.”

  She smiles at me. “It felt better for you?”

  I breathe out a laugh. “It was the single best experience of my life.”

  “Mine too,” she nuzzles into my neck. “I thought you were going to fuck me to death. My orgasm…”

  “Kept going and going,” I finish for her. The way her pussy clamped onto my dick and didn’t let go was what dreams are made of.

  She kisses up my neck and to my ear. “I want to do that again.”

  “Oh, we’ll most definitely do it again, and many times when you get back from your parent’s house for Thanksgiving. We’re going to take advantage of the time my roommates are away.”

  “I like the sound of that.” She hugs me and snuggles closer. A flash of lights sweeps through the car windows, putting us on high alert. I hate that our moment is ruined by some outside force.

  Roxie slips off my lap and onto the seat next to me and starts to dress. I wish I could keep her naked and under me for the rest of time, but I know I have to be patient.

  My shirt lands on my face, and Roxie laughs. The sound is soft yet raspy. “I’m sorry. I thought you’d catch it.”

  “I was too busy daydreaming of having you naked and keeping you hostage, so I can admire your body.”

  Roxie shakes her head as if she doesn’t believe me.

  “I wish you saw yourself as I see you.”

  She stops getting dressed. She’s only in her bra and panties, and she’s the sexiest damn thing I’ve ever seen. I want to lick each inch of exposed skin. “And how is that?”

  “Like what a real woman is supposed to be. Men don’t like to fuck twigs. We want soft curves and something to hold on to.”

  She rubs her fingertip over my lips. “I like the way you think. I love my body, but I’ve never had anyone else love it. I’ve always been put down because of the way I look.”

  “I love your body. Each and every beautiful curve of it.”

  Luckily, her lips crash to mine before I can spill out how I love her just as much as I love her body.

  “Guess what?” Roxie says, smiling up at me. I’ve never seen her so happy before.

  “What?” I ask as I haul her through my front door. I shut and lock the door for good measure while keeping her in my arms.

  “Declan is staying with my parents for a couple of days, and that means—”

  “You can stay with me the entire time,” I say, carrying her through the house and into my bedroom. I kick my door closed and lock it too, just in case.

  “Something like that.” Her hands cup my face, and she kisses both sides of my mouth. “You look good when you smile.”

  “You’ve given me a lot to smile about,” my smile only widens at what this news means.

  I know I should probably wine and dine her, but right now, I’ve got to fuck her. Later, we can order dinner and watch a movie or something like that, but right now, I need to celebrate the best way I know how—by fucking my woman.

  Setting her down on her feet, I sit down on the bed. Pulling out my phone, I pull up Spotify, and Señorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello starts playing through my bedroom speakers. “Strip for me.”

  She starts to kick off her signature red heels, but I tsk. “Keep those on. I want you to wear them while your legs are up by my head.”

  Her eyes light up, letting me know she likes what I have planned. She slowly starts to unzip her skin-tight jeans and then shimmies out of them. She’s got a black lace thong on that has me drooling to see what’s underneath it. She has to step out of her heels because of her jeans but then quickly steps back into them.

  Reaching for the hem of her white sweater, she pulls it up over her head, leaving her in only her bra, panties, and heels. The way she’s standing in front of me, full of confidence, has my dick so fucking hard. Unclipping the bra from the front, her full, creamy-white tits spill out against the black fabric. She lets the bra fall to the floor, and when her fingers hook into her underwear, I know I won’t be able to hold back much longer.

  I pull my t-shirt by the neck and throw it to the floor and lift my hips to slip off my athletic shorts. I palm my erection and watch as she ever so slowly starts to drag her thong down her legs and kicks them to the side.

  Her eyes are trained on what my hand is doing while she pulls her hair out of a ponytail, and she slowly lets it fall down around her shoulders. Then she shakes her hair out, and it covers the tops of her breasts. She licks her lips as her eyes follow my hand up and down.

  Crooking my finger, I beckon her to me. “That is by far the best striptease I’ve ever watched. Now I want you on your knees and for those pretty red lips to wrap around my cock.”

  Roxie wastes no time as she sinks to her knees before me and removes my hands to replace them with her own. Her silky soft hands feel like heaven as they wrap around my length and start to pump up and down.

  She smiles up at me mischievously, knowing exactly what I want. Lowering her head, she wastes no time as she takes my length into her mouth and starts to suck. I pull her hair back and out of the way so I can watch. I smile at the lipstick ring around my cock, knowing it’s going to be completely red by the time she’s finished.

  Palming the back of her head, I press down. “Take all of me.”

  Roxie doesn’t disappoint. She opens her throat, and I slide all the way in. I keep my hand where it is but let her control the pace. I’m not into forcing my dick down her throat or making her gag.

  Her head starts bobbing to the beat of the song as she cups my balls and starts to roll them in her hand. When one finger moves further back, I let go of her hair and lay back. Sucking on my tip, she swirls her tongue along the underside and then slips her finger through my tight ring. When she hits my prostate, I explode in her mouth. Jet after jet shoots in her mouth, and she takes it all. When I’m done, she kisses the tip of my cock and then slowly crawls up my body.

  Roxie kisses and licks my abs and the flat discs of my nipples before she’s straddling me and rubbing her sweet, wet pussy on my cock. “That was so hot I almost came from listening to you.”

  Gripping her hips, I start to pull her up until I feel the wetness of her core on my chest. “Come sit on my face and let me taste your sweet pussy. It’s been too long.”

  “I don’t know,” she
looks unsure.

  “Grab onto my headboard and let me do the rest. I need to eat you first.”

  Placing her hands on the headboard, she scoots up until she’s hovering over me, and I can see how wet sucking my dick made her.

  One swipe of my tongue through her juices and I moan, needing more. I lick and suck at her lips and dive into her hot pussy, fucking her with my tongue.

  Above me, Roxie rocks back and forth on my face and lets out little gasps and moans that have my dick hard and weeping to be inside of her.

  Opening her wide for me, I lave her clit with the tip of my tongue, making her legs start to shake. I smile and continue while slipping two fingers inside and pumping in and out.

  Roxie’s always been responsive to my touch and now is no exception. Her entire body starts shaking even as she rubs her pussy all over my face and calls out my name like I’m her own personal god.

  Slipping out from under her, I cover Roxie’s back with my front and slip inside of her tight heat. I know I won’t last long as I fuck her through her orgasm, but I can’t wait a second longer to be inside of her.

  With each stroke, she rears back against me. I’m as deep as I can go as I hit her cervix. Reaching back, Roxie’s nails dig into my leg, and the jolt of pain has me unloading.

  I kiss the side of her neck as I slip out of her, and Roxie lets out a whimper. “Don’t worry. There will be plenty more. I don’t plan on getting much sleep while you’re here.” I love that she’s as hungry for me as I am for her.

  Flopping onto my back, I pull her down to rest at my side and wrap my arms around her. It feels so good to have her here in my arms for once. This is the way it should be.

  Now that my dick isn’t leading the charge, I ask. “Are you hungry? We can order in and rent a movie. Whatever you like.”

  “I’m starved. You made me work up quite an appetite,” she hums against my neck.

  Living in Willow Bay, we don’t have a lot of options for takeout, but luckily if you’re willing to pay a hefty price, there’s a couple of the neighboring towns that deliver, and my first night with Roxie in my bed is a reason to splurge.
