Give Me Desire (Reason Series) (17 page)

I concentrate extra hard and, after a beat, I feel them pushing out, spreading outward. The sensation is strange, almost like arms emerging from my body. I smile at the fact that I was able to bring them out on my own.
 

Once I feel as though they are fully extended, I open my eyes and peer over my shoulder. They are as brilliant as they were this morning, but bigger, and I gasp as I watch them shimmer in the faint light of the kitchen.
 

I test the muscles in my back, flexing them. My wings move slightly and a thrill of excitement washes over me.
 

I turn back toward Mikah. He hasn't moved, but his breathing has grown strained, ragged like in the dream.
 

I take the five small steps I need to reach him and stop.
 

I reach down and gently stroke the stubble along his jaw. He leans into my touch. I lower myself to my knees; they slide along his as they come to rest on the floor.
 

"Keep your eyes closed," I whisper.

He nuzzles into my touch a shade more, and with my other hand, eager to see if the sensation is the same, I reach for his wing. When I make contact, his mouth goes slack, his breathing stops momentarily, and the feathers of his wings flare. He moans: a warm, sensual sound.
 

I pull my hand back and cup the other side of his face. He does the same with my face.
 

"Kiss me," I breathe, and he rises up, bringing me with him.
 

I'm looking up at him, and slowly, even more slowly than in the dream, he lowers his kiss to mine. I stretch, hoping to meet his mouth faster, and he smiles.
 

The next thing I know, his lips are on mine, soft and warm, hot and needy. The moment we make contact, satisfaction and desire sweep through me. I can feel his need in the touch of his lips, in the trembling of his fingers against my face, a need that matches my own.
 

His tongue lightly teases my lips. I part them. In an instant, his tongue is on mine, teasing and tasting.
 

My hands slide along his neck, down his sternum, and then follow his ribs. I slip my arms around him, bringing him closer and tighter against me. His chest touches mine. My belly presses into his taut stomach and his hands trail along my neck, shoulders and arms.
 

I shiver, causing all my nerve endings to come alive.
 

Sliding my hands up his back, I find the tips of the feathers on the bottom of his wings and I lightly stroke them. His erection comes to life against my belly. I moan into his mouth as my eyes roll back into my head.
 

I open my eyes again and he is looking at me. His bright blue eyes are warm, filed with need and with something else, that emotion that I can't quite name.
 

Then, confusion.

He pulls back, trying to gain his bearings, unsure of where he is. The vision in front of him hits him. I can tell the moment that he realizes that my wings are spread wide. He flexes his shoulders, and his eyes grow wider still as he understands that his wings are open and visible, too.

"How..."

"The dream. We've..." I take a deep breath, trying hard to calm my breathing. "We've been sharing the same dreams."

He sits back on his feet, but he doesn't release the grip he now has on my hands.
 

"Mikah, I want this. I want you,” I say breathlessly.
 

He doesn't need any more encouragement from me. He stands, steadying himself as he realizes the full weight of his upper body with his wings fully emerged. He pulls me up by my hands and I stand with him. He's quick to cup my face, and once again his lips are on mine.
 

His kiss is urgent and my body responds, desire pooling stronger deep inside of me. I put everything I have into our kiss, pulling him tighter and closer against me, and he does the same. I feel his fingers weave into my hair as he gently urges me to take a step back. I do, and he nudges again. And again. I refuse to open my eyes as he continues to urge me backwards; I'm completely lost to his kiss, his lips, his hands in my hair.
 

Then I feel the bed against my knees and I stop. His kisses wander from my mouth to my jaw, behind my ear, down my neck, along my shoulder, his lips soft against my skin, leaving a trail of blazing hot nerves in their wake.
 

His hands glide down my body along the outside swell of my breasts, down my ribs. Feather light, his fingers trail the sweet curves of my bump, and I'm lost to the purest pleasure I've ever felt in my life.
 

His kisses continue, and the need to have him grows hotter, stronger. My legs begin to tremble, but still he runs his hands up my back toward my wings, and I shiver in anticipation of his touch along my feathers. But he stops when he reaches the clasp of my bra.

He pauses, waiting for permission.

"Yes," I breathe.

His breathing spikes. He shakes slightly, as though nervous, but he hasn't stopped his kisses along the swell of my breasts. I raise my hand to his hair and run my fingers through its soft texture. It tickles against my palm.
 

With my fingers I urge him to pull back slightly. He does so and looks at me. His eyes are hooded with desire and something deeper, some stronger emotion trying desperately to spill through.
 

"I. Want. You." I emphasize each word. "I'm ready."

"I...I don't know if I am," he whispers.
 

"What do you mean?" I cock my head toward him.
 

He sinks to his knees in front of me, looking into my eyes with an intensity that’s almost frightening. "If we cross this line, everything changes. We-" He swallows. "I will never be able to be apart from you. Everything between us will be different."

I sit down on the bed. Then I reach my hands around my back, reaching for the clasp of my bra. As I unhook each tiny hook, one at a time, he watches me, eyes wide but excited.
 

Finally I reach the last one and I look at him, pleading with my eyes, trying to show him just how much I need him. We're face to face, and as I unhook the last of the clasps, I bring my arms tight against my sides so as not to allow my bra to completely fall away.
 

I bring my hands back around to cup his face.
 

"I'm tired of fighting the urge to kiss you." I lean in and kiss him. Softly, gently. "I'm no longer able to resist being closer to you. I can't stand that we sleep in separate rooms, or that I feel as though I can't touch you." I splay my right hand wide and run the tips of my fingers down his beautiful face from his forehead to his chin. As I reach his lips they part, and I feel his hot breath caress my hand.
 

"Bring our dream to life. Show me that you cannot resist me." I straighten my arms, pull them away from my body, and let my bra fall down, fully exposing my breasts. The cool air hardens my nipples further.
 

I hear his sharp intake of breath. "You are so beautiful. An angel. My angel."
 

He reaches up to cup my face and brings his lips to mine. I feel him push forward, pushing me onto my back, and by some miracle, I manage to pull my wings in as he lays me back on the bed.
 

He hovers over me, the skin of his tight stomach gently touching mine as our lips continue their slow, sensual assault, lighting up my senses.
 

He trails his fingers down my neck, along my chest, across my nipple. I moan as the ache is relieved by his touch. He continues down my ribs to my stomach, and the sweet touch along my bump once again sends delicious shivers through my body.
 

He begins to kiss me along the same path his hand has just taken, and goose bumps begin to radiate across my skin.

I'm lost to my desire.

Announcement

Thank You!! I cannot thank you enough for your continuing support of The Reason Series and my writing.
 

If you’ve made it this far in the book, PLEASE PLEASE go back to the retailer you purchased it from and take a few minutes to write me a review. I truly enjoy your reviews, good or bad, and I learn a lot from what my readers like and don’t like about my books.
 

You will notice that this book lacks a teaser to book 4. Some might be says “Phew” Others might be upset, well here is why this is missing…
 

Give Me Love - Reason Series Book #4 is on a slight delay in release due to a number of reasons. The primary reason is because I want to give you, the reader, the best conclusion to Vivienne and Mikah’s story as I can and in order to do that, I need a little bit more time.
 

Will Give Me Love be the last book?
 

This I do not know. I love Vivienne and Mikah so much that I do not want to see their story come to an end, however, if GML ends on a note that satisfies me and you as the reader, then I will leave it at Give Me Love. If I cannot satisfy myself with GML, then you the reader will not be satisfied and I will then be writing an additional book to the series.

CAMERON ENDERS seems to have it all: a brand new condo in a city she loves, a top executive position at an international entertainment firm, an insane amount of money, and a gorgeous boyfriend. But when Cami catches the boyfriend in the act with another woman, it triggers all the anguish from years of neglect by her parents, and she realizes she never learned how to love or be loved. Cami flees to the remote tropical island of Tarah, but she can't avoid facing her problems any longer when she meets the man of her fantasies...

TRISTAN MICHAELS, one of Hollywood's hottest new stars, has come to Tarah to ride out a storm. His girlfriend of five years has been caught on camera cheating, and she's determined to make Tristan stop the story from breaking. But Tristan's done cleaning up her messes. He needs to escape all things Hollywood for a while--and especially the firm that represents him--until the whole thing blows over. What he doesn't count on is meeting an irresistibly beautiful woman, a woman who just so happens to be the CEO of the firm he's trying to avoid.

Can Tristan and Cami help each other learn to trust and love again, or will their histories of betrayal tear them apart?

This story contains Tattoos, Piercings, a Hot Movie Star and a Sexy Heroine. No rich guy poor girl story here, just a story of what it's like to learn to love.
