The Perfect Emotion (Book Two of The Perfect Series)

by Rolka, Melissa

  I cut him off quickly, “Not now”. When I stand up the t-shirt creeps up exposing more and more of my legs. Reed’s eyes follow the hem hiking up exposing more and more of my legs. “First, I need you, I need your hands on me.” He takes a step up closer to me and then drops to his knees placing his hands around my calves slowly running them further up.

  “Thank you, beautiful,” he says in between kissing up one of my thighs. His hands travel up gripping around my backside and then tracing the lace of my Victoria Secrets Cheeky lace panty. Effortlessly he begins to rise keeping his body aligned with mine. Since he is a step below we are almost eye level. Our eyes stare into each other and our breaths intermingle with each other. I become dizzy with the smell of his masculine and pine scent that I love.

  “I don’t want anything between us, Reed.”

  “Me neither, baby.” His lips graze mine lightly and his hands tighten on my ass. I gasp faintly before I let my nerves prevent me from continuing.

  “Including a condom… nothing… between… us.” Reed doesn’t speak his response, but its more than evident he wants the same.

  His hands hoist me up around his waist and I wrap my legs tightly around him. Our lips press together and Reed sucks in my bottom lip. Then his lips continue to lick and suck their way down my chin and neck. He carries me up to the top of the stairs and we crash against the wall at the top. Running my hands through his hair I start to pull at his shirt at the back of his neck. Eager for the contact of his skin on my mine I start to pull it over his head. Reed holds me against the wall with his hips and assists in taking his shirt off. When I start to pull up the shirt I’m wearing his hands stop me.

  “No way, I’m not risking anyone seeing you like this,” he says and then kisses my lips letting his tongue stroke mine quickly. “As much as I love you in just my shirt… don’t ever leave my room in this again.” He pushes his hips into me and it causes a streak of pleasure to run up through me. I moan out softly and arch my head back into the wall. His hands move back to cup my ass and he whispers into my ear, “hang on and wrap your legs tightly around me.”

  I bury my head into his neck as he carries me down the rest of the hall into his room. Gently, he lays me down on the bed and walks back over to close the door and lock it. Anticipation, desire and longing set in as I let my eyes take in Reed’s firm sculpted muscles. My legs twitch together hungrily. I’m not used to letting myself be so candid and bold, but with Reed it’s different, just like everything else.

  “I need you,” I say breathlessly as he makes his way back over to me. He takes my legs and drags me to the edge of the bed. My legs move to each side of his thighs and he stretches down to kiss me over my abdomen lifting my shirt up along the way.

  “You have no idea what you do to me. I need you so badly, Kate. More than ever.” His tongue runs up from my belly button up to my bra. This time he lets me remove the shirt. “God, you are so beautiful, do you know that?” I don’t answer because I’m positive he sees me in a different light than I see myself and I’m grateful he does. Goosebumps form as his hands travel along my sides and then frame my face. We kiss deeply with our tongues dancing and mingling passionately. His fingers unclasp my bra from the front letting it fall to the side and I lift while he removes it completely. Cupping one of my breasts he slowly tantalizes my nipple causing it to harden on contact. He groans into our kiss and I whimper when he grinds against me.

  “Thank you,” I say in between our licking, sucking and nibbling. His hands trace the lines of my panties and then his fingers move them to the side and one finger slips easily into me. I shudder and murmur, “mmmmm”.

  “What for, baby?” Reed asks huskily and then strokes his finger into my slick opening groaning. “You feel so good like this. You being ready like this turns me on more than anything.” My breathing accelerates the more he thrusts his finger in and out, but when his thumb circles upward the blood rushes from my head.

  “For the way you stuck up for us, for our relationship, I-I, oh God, Reed… take these off now.” My hands try to focus on undoing his belt and pulling his jeans down, but I’m too distracted with my nerves tingling with sensations. He laughs deeply knowing that I’m about to fall into a sated and satisfied state.

  With ease and grace Reed removes his fingers from me and stands to take his jeans off. My chest rises and falls rapidly as I watch him strip for me. The muscles from his chest down through his abdomen fall in ripples down his body.

  “Do you trust me?” He asks in a deep low voice.

  Without hesitation I answer, “Yes.”

  “Move your hands up to your breasts and play with your nipples.” My breathing stops for a moment and my eyes hesitate to look up at him. “Look at me, Katherine.” I slowly lift my eyes to lock on his and then my breathing picks up again. His face softens looking at me and I feel everything I always feel with Reed rushing through me all at once. I know I can trust him, I’ve always been able to. My nerves begin to drift away the longer we stare into each other and then at a pace I’m comfortable with my hands move up to my breasts. I cup them at first and then begin to lightly massage them. Reed’s breathing picks up and his eyes never leave mine. When I start to play with my nipples they harden and a strong force, almost electrical courses through my body. Reed bites down on his inner cheek watching me with intensity. “Fuck, your gorgeous.” My hands and fingers continue building me into a heated frenzy for Reed. “You make me crazy for you, Katherine. Only you. There is no one else like you and I don’t think there ever will be.”

  “I don’t want there to be anyone else. Reed, I’ve never trusted anyone else like I trust you,” I say breathlessly stilling my hands to focus in on my words. “Please, I want you. I need you… I … I,” hesitantly I search for my next words and can’t find any other way to express what I want to say. Clear and precisely I tell him, “olive juice.”

  The moment is raw, real and intense. Again our relationship has stepped up another level. We stay frozen in our places staring into each other for a few more seconds. Then Reed comes down back to me taking one of my hands and kisses my pinky. Our lips find each other and we kiss slowly. Before Reed’s naked body falls onto mine his fingers hook down into my panties. He descends down following the trail with his tongue until they are off and on the floor. His mouth hovers just below my belly button placing hot kisses from hip bone to hip bone. “Let me show you how much I need and want you, baby.”

  “Yesss,” I slur out.

  His kisses travel down further and his hands spread my legs open widely. The heat from his breath mingles with my slick core. I look downward and watch him lick his lips before he says, “this I need and want … it’s mine.” His tongue firmly licks me up from my opening straight to my pleasure spot. I moan out loudly and start to squirm, but Reed’s hands hold the insides of my thighs firmly apart. Arching my lower back up I curse internally trying to take in the force of his tongue lapping me up and down and across. “Reed,” I practically shriek out, but he doesn’t let up as his fingers join in and bring me to the brink of a shattering orgasm. The tension that had built up in me earlier releases out of me and I rock myself reveling in the waves that travel over me again and again.

  Reed plants tender hot kisses on the insides of my thighs. Then his lips and tongue slide along my skin taking up some of the sweat that I am sure glistens on my body. His mouth moves up across my pelvis over my abdomen and ribs and begins to suck on my breasts. My body swirls with sensations peaking every nerve. “These I need and want too… mine, Katherine.” He flicks his tongue rigidly against my tingling skin. My body pulses with a fiery feeling, never really coming down, instead a steady build up increases in me. I begin to pull at Reed’s hair to bring him up further, craving more contact between us. His light laugh and smile radiate into me. “Patience,” he whispers, but patience is the last thing on my mind. My hands grid across his shoulders leaving red marks as my fingers roughly pull over his skin eagerly. “Katherine.�
�

  “Please,” I say softly.

  “Don’t make me restrain you,” he teases me through his wandering mouth and his hands move to mine wrapping around my wrists, tighter and tighter.

  “Mmmm, hmmmm,” I murmur, enjoying the sensation of his body sliding up mine with him settling in between my legs. Grinding my body up and over his hardened length Reed slightly loosens his hold on my wrists, but brings my arms above me head holding me still. Our kiss turns carnal, passionate and extremely sensual in between our moans and groans. My legs slither up the backs of his legs wrapping tightly around him and I use my heels to push him more against my core and closer to my opening.

  “Are you sure?” He asks as he forcefully holds his body still and stops our kiss to look into my glazed over eyes. The blue in his eyes illuminates his face, they’re clear, crystal clear… and deep, showing me that there is nothing but deep feelings planted in them.

  “Yes, I trust you,” I say while pushing my head up a little to brush my nose along his. “I care about you so much.” His lips crash into mine pushing me back into the bed. We rock and grind against each other with our hands above our heads, mine still held into a lock. The muscles of his arms stretch over me showcasing his strength and his chest muscles stay taut as they rub along my breasts. My heels dig in further ready to push him into me. He brings one of his hands down and then holds both of my wrists above with the other hand. The restraint is looser and I could probably un-break the hold, but I enjoy the pressure and build up it’s creating. The tennis bracelet he gave me imprints into my wrists. His free hand runs down my head cupping my face, down my chin and throat, over my breasts; pinching a nipple and then in between us to guide himself into me. Once the tip of him presses into me our kissing slows and countless nerves ignite. The feeling is like nothing other I’ve experienced.

  Reed groans out, confirming he’s never felt anything quite like this either when he mumbles, “Oh God… damn, Kate.” His eyes press close tightly and I gently kiss his chin. Slowly, he pushes further into me and our breathing escalates together. His hand slides along my hip and thigh and then outskirts the contour of my body before moving back above my head locking my other wrist. We stare at each other for a moment knowing that this is a bond like no other. Nothing between us. Reed starts to thrust in and out at a steady and even pace, but then picks up in speed. My body works right along with him loving the restraint and pressure building in me. I moan into Reed’s ear telling him to not stop. He kisses over across my jaw and up to my ear flicking his tongue along my lobe and a spike of shivers course through me. “Baby, let go,” he says against my neck. “I can’t hold off, this feels too good.”

  “Reed, Reed, ahhhh, mmm,” I moan into him. My body heats and a flush starts to build in me. He circles his hips and thrusts back in picking up in pace.

  He releases his hold on my wrists above my head and lets his hands roam my body gripping on to my hips roughly. Moving myself along with him I let my hands wildly explore his body. I run my fingers over and under the groves and dips of his muscles in a frenzy. When one of his hands slips between us and slides down I know that it’s only a matter of a moment before I release. Once the tip of his finger slides against my most sensitive flesh I arch back with a cry of pleasure. He circles me and then applies just enough pressure causing my eyes to roll back. “Yes, baby, now, God… I can’t wait,” he rasps out and thrust deeper and harder into me. I find my release first and whimper out, “Reed, Reed, Reed,” just like I always do. Then Reed groans and releases himself into me.

  Reed rocks into me a couple more times and then we both lie limply with him still inside me. His face falls into the crease of my neck and I turn my face over to press into his letting our rapid breathing mix together. Feeling fulfilled my body hums with the after affects and my mind can’t get over how it feels to have …. Nothing between us.

  CHAPTER 25

  Morning sun breaks in through the slit in Reed’s dark curtains causing me to turn away from it and hide my face into Reed’s side. The smell of masculinity, sex and us fills my nose. His arm tightens instinctually around me, but his breathing stays deep and heavy. His hand rests on the dip of my lower back with his fingers splayed across my backside. My head feels full of weight still and my breathing is shallow calling me back towards sleep. I don’t bother to think too much about my morning classes, but my mind does linger on last night…

  After having sex with no condom we stayed tangled up together afraid to move or break our new bond. Eventually, Reed did get up and when he came back he dipped down below to clean me with a warm washcloth. Nerves tingled and sensations spread through my body yet I stayed almost incoherent. Too much had happened throughout our night and my mind and body was exhausted. When Reed asked if I was ready to talk like we had planned to do originally I pulled him up behind me and had him spoon me. Then I drifted off into la la land. Just like I do again this morning.

  I start stirring running my hands over and under cool sheets. My body has a slight chill to it and I know that I am alone in Reed’s bed. I miss his hands on me. Stretching and yawning I pull myself further up the bed to lean against the headboard. I rub my eyes and then look over at the desk with the alarm clock on it and see that my second class starts in about two minutes. Shit. There’s no chance of making it so I don’t freak out, but if I want to make my next class I need to get up.

  I use the bathroom and brush my teeth with Reed’s toothbrush… normally that would gross me out, but after everything else we’ve shared and done I’m over it. All the other roommates’ bedroom doors are open and empty so I tread to the back stairwell to the kitchen. The smell of bacon permeates the house. Entering the kitchen quietly I stop in my tracks to see Reed shirtless in jeans with his back to me at the stove. Instead of moving to him I just stare, especially at his bottom. God, I love the way jeans fit him… slightly hanging from the hips and molding his ass, evident that it’s muscular and fit, then covering the length of his long toned legs and to top it off he’s barefoot. His hair is wet dripping onto his firm shoulders. He must have showered while I slept. I bite the bottom corner of my lip thinking of muscles rubbing on top of my body and then I think about his lock on my wrists. I rub my hands over my wrists and the feeling is still there. Stepping forward I move closer to him around the small table.

  “Are you taking orders?” I ask unable to hide the sleepy rasp in my tone.

  His head cocks to the side and then he looks over his shoulder at me with a bright smile that has my heart skipping a beat. He turns around with a spatula in hand moving towards me shaking his head back and forth.

  “Katherine, you are going to be the death of me. Luckily, my roommates are all gone already, but I mean it if anyone saw you in just my t-shirt I’d have to kill them.” His free hand moves in between my thighs gliding up past the hem of the t-shirt. “These are for my eyes only.” His lips dangle right in front of me, but don’t touch mine. The mint of our breaths smells the same, like one. I close the distance between us and kiss him sweetly.

  “Well, I definitely don’t want to be the cause of murderer on your resume.” He pushes into me taking my bottom lip into his mouth while backing me up against the counter.

  “Mmmm,” I moan before he releases my lip. “You need to feed me before anymore of that happens. I’m starving!”

  He plants a tender kiss on my cheek and lifts me onto the counter. “Good, I need to fatten you up some,” he says on his way back over to the stove. “Eggs, bacon and toast. Plus, I have coffee made too, but I don’t have that flavor cream stuff you like.” Now normally I’d be grouchy without my flavored cream, but the fact that Reed Harper just made me breakfast and coffee makes me anything, but grouchy.

  “Sounds delicious, thank you.” Reed fills a cup of coffee up and puts some cream and sugar in it too. I take it in my hands and just let the warmth of the cup warm my hands. Watching him setting up the little table in the kitchen I get a strange feeling of butterflies in th
e pit of my stomach. My breathing becomes a little jittery taking in his ease and effortless movements. It gives me a feeling of hope, promises and … the possibility of the future. Once the table is set with our plates filled with food he comes back over to me moving himself between my dangling legs. I run my hand through his damp hair and shake it a little.

  “No fair, you’re clean,” I tease him.

  He raises his eyebrows and wiggles them a little before saying, “Hey, I cleaned you last night.” I roll my eyes and snicker. He wraps my legs around his waist and lifts me from the counter kissing my neck and then places me in a chair at the table.

  I devour my food barely stopping to breath. Reed watches me in amazement at just how hungry I am.

  “Wow, I guess I know what I have to do to get you to eat like this from now on,” he jokes with me giving me a famous wink that has me thinking about last night.

  After we finish up eating we clean up the mess and all the dishes together. Playfully we tease each other and Reed’s hands find ways to the easy access of my behind. I look at the clock and realize that I’m about to miss my third class of the morning. I’ve never missed classes like this before… of course, I’ve never really had a reason.

  “I missed my first two classes already and I’m about to miss another. What about you?”

  “Yep, want to play hooky? Then we can talk and have the day to us,” Reed says with sincerity. The little bit of heaviness I was feeling about bringing up our conversation that we still need to have lifts because he’s ready and not pushing it off like I was afraid he might do. I sigh quietly in relief and shake my head yes to playing hooky. His hands cup my cheeks and then run through my tangled and messy hair when he says, “You didn’t think I’d let you off that easily did you? I want us to talk about everything, Kate.”

  “I thought you wouldn’t want to talk, but I’m relieved that you want to.” I pause to take in his eyes before I continue. “I want and need to know more about you, about us.” I peck his lips sweetly and then he grabs my hand to take me back upstairs. Just as we reach the top of the stairs we hear the front door open and close with one of his roommates coming in.
