Chapter Eight
?
“Open those beautiful brown eyes of yours, Cat.”
Catori struggled to fulfill the request, knowing if she did the likelihood of Red being above her was nonexistent. He wasn’t here and never would be again, but she felt his lips against hers now. Lifting her lashes, his gray eyes stared into hers as if the last two years never existed.
“You aren’t real,” Catori whispered.
“As long as you don’t let me go I’ll always be here. You just need to hold on.”
Not wanting to waste a single second of their time together, real or not, Catori wrapped her arms around Red’s neck and brought his lips once more against hers.
Kissing him was like breathing…so natural and so graceful it brought tears to her eyes.
His soft, warm lower lip always covered hers and sent shivers of anticipation running through her body.
As if reading her mind, he trailed his breath down her neck and over her breast, claiming an erect nipple.
She tried to arch but suddenly found herself unable to move.
She was at his mercy, just the way she liked it.
“Red, I need to touch you.”
“You aren’t taking care of yourself, Cat.
” The disappointment in Red’s voice was palpable and it was like a sharp ache went through her chest. How did he expect her to be?
His tongue felt like a blazing torch as it circled her nipple and he finally drew it into his mouth, suckling on the hardened pebble.
Her hands were resting by her head, unable to tangle her fingers into his unruly hair.
It was so unfair, especially if she truly awakened to find she’d dreamt this.
“I need you healthy. I need you to stay on this newfound path to find…”
Red’s voice trailed off as his lips continued exploring.
Her body was responding and although she wanted to think his words through, knowing something was wrong with this scenario, she followed his lead into sheer pleasure.
His hand gathered up her ample flesh, making it easier to play with her breast. He teased and nibbled on the sensitive tissue until she was crying out his name.
As if the sound of her voice triggered this fantasy to deviate courses, Catori found herself on top of Red, looking down into his striking face.
Gray eyes that resembled a storm rolling in from the west were just as restless as the menacing clouds that gathered above.
Before she could question this apparition, she felt her body accepting him.
Her knees were on either side of him and his cock was stretching her sheath, creating that burn that she’d come to relish.
“Take me like you always do, Cat.” Red’s fingers felt like they were digging into her side, although she also felt them on her breasts. The sensations were almost too much to calculate, so she concentrated on what she could do. “Sink your nails into my chest.”
Catori did as he asked and used his chest for leverage.
Red’s contoured muscles gave her fingers something to hold on to as she continued to sink over his cock, over and over until finally she’d accepted all of him.
Gyrating to truly feel his presence was the only way she could savor these precious moments.
She needed to feel the sting from his width and cried out when she started to feel the quivers in her pussy, indicating her need to come.
“You know your orgasm is stronger if I’m taking you from behind,” Red whispered in her ear.
She abruptly found herself on her hands and knees.
Catori loved this position because his cock went farther into her core, producing a stronger and amazingly intense release.
She dug her nails into the sheets as he took control by sliding his fingers into her hair and drawing her head back.
“Do you remember how kinky we could be, Cat?”
Various images of their past rushed through her while Red pounded into her from behind.
Without slowing his thrust or releasing his hold on her hair, she felt something on her clit.
This should have awakened her, yet her body was too far gone wrapped up in Red’s memory.
Long strokes over her engorged flesh drew out an animalistic moan from deep within her.
No one else could make her feel like this.
Catori was suddenly lowered to the bed, with her ass still in the air and her pussy taking Red’s cock like he hadn’t been gone for two years.
She rested her cheek against the cool sheets, knowing that Red had total control over this fantasy.
There were times they wrestled for power, and as fun as that had been, there was something euphoric when Red actually won.
Her cream was now dripping down her inner thigh and her clit was receiving so much pleasure that it bordered on pain.
This had to be real. The sensations were overwhelming and were becoming almost magical.
Her body felt like it was floating as Red continued to make love to her.
There wasn’t a place on her warm flesh that hadn’t been touched in some way.
“Come for me.”
Catori opened her mouth to draw in air when her release hit, but it was useless.
She gathered up more of the rumpled sheets in her fists as her body exploded.
Red’s cock felt like it expanded inside of her as waves of contractions rippled around his shaft.
Like always, he never let up on her clit either as he knew that only prolonged her orgasm.
“You need to come for me…”
“I did!” Catori cried out, sitting straight up in bed and looking around wildly.
Perspiration dripped down the side of her cheek and she swiped away her damp hair, catching her breath and trying to make sense of what had just occurred.
The hotel room was empty, with only the air conditioning making noise if she discounted her hard respiration. “Shit.”
It had felt so real. Catori didn’t need to look down at her nipples to know they were hard and that her panties were damp.
With trembling hands, she pulled the white tank top she’d been sleeping in over her head, trying to cool down.
Had she truly come from just a dream? They were becoming so real lately that if she hadn’t embarked on this new journey to reopen Red Starr’s doors she would have thought she was losing her mind.
Work had given her something to do and she had thought that it would quell these dreams. It wasn’t like she didn’t want to feel Red and keep this part of him, but she knew that it wasn’t real and that scared her most of all.
She could handle fear, but she couldn’t take feeling downright frightened of…
some type of premonition. That’s what it had felt like, but she couldn’t put her finger on why.
Glancing at the clock, Catori debated on whether she should shower and start her day early.
Four o’clock in the morning was a little excessive, but there were people who would be awake by now who would be able to assist her in checking off some of the items on her to-do list. She ignored the exhaustion that was settling in her bones.
She knew that she was replacing one bad habit with another, but she didn’t care.
Work was becoming her salvation and once things were in full swing, she would settle into a normal routine. She would.
