Excerpt
Chapter One
Sensual...peaceful...and she was standing nearly naked in the kitchen. It was the perfect start for a Monday. The music echoed from the surround sound speakers and filled the apartment. Each wall vibrated with the noise. It was an annoyance to the neighbor yet soothing to her ears. Remedy let the calming music control her body. The melody sank into her flesh and awakened her soul. The young woman lowered her eyelashes until each gracefully rested on top of her cheeks. Her mind blocked out the textbook she held in her hands. Steady moving hips swayed to the rhythmic sounds filling the apartment. Rising up on her nude toes Remedy glided over the cold kitchen tiles. Dressed in her fiancé’s Eagles’ jersey, her bare flesh tingled at the breeze whipping under the fabric.
Distractions appeared left and right. She couldn’t refuse the chance to give each obstacle her attention – if simply for a brief second. An empty pan rested on the stove – gradually becoming warmer – waiting to prepare her fiancé’s breakfast. Remedy opened her eyes to scan over highlighted passages in her medical textbook. Her brain drummed against her skull as she reread the same line. The young woman wanted every word of her textbook glued into her memory. The enchanting music filling her ears was all Remedy needed to stop and just feel the beat. Remedy soon abandoned her goal of trying to multitask. The music was too good to ignore. She let go of everything, and her body spun through the space. Remedy needed this little break; even if it was just to dance barefoot in her kitchen.
She was in the midst of two big countdowns. The two major events to change her life for the better: college graduation and her wedding. Hopefully! The stress of obtaining a doctorate made Remedy want to abandon college. She thought being a full time student might help the process go faster; it did not. There were days when she questioned if she could handle two more years of studying and exams. Part of her wanted to ignore the degree altogether. She had her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. Sadly, it was not enough. Life as an RN could be fun, but it wasn’t her desired profession. With her wedding around the corner, all the pressure was finally setting in. She wished she could focus on one event at a time. Maybe then everything could peacefully fit together.
The last song on the CD came to an end; the apartment went silent. Her nose tingled as a foul stench invaded her nose. Her brown peepers fluttered open to a dark cloud of smoke. The smoldering puff made her eyes well up. Fresh breath left her lungs and became smothered by the intense smoke. Her attention rushed back to the stove and the empty skillet.
“Damn!” She shouted pushing the frying pan off the burner and into the sink.
The fire alarm echoed through the apartment when Remedy’s fiancé pulled back the shower curtain. She resembled a chicken without its head when she ran past the open bathroom. Remedy stopped to admire the naked man when his bare feet touched the bathmat outside the shower. Her flailing arms fanned the space over her head as she blew a kiss to her wet fiancé.
“Everything is fine.” Frantically waving her textbook in the air, Remedy did her best to clean the apartment of dark smoke. “I’m just cooking breakfast.”
Jeremy let the drops of water roll off his body and onto the mat. “Do you need help?”
The alarm began to overpower their conversation.
“No. I can handle it.” Remedy pulled her eyes off her fiancé and turned to finish her walk down the hall.
Behind her, Jeremy strolled out the bathroom. A flood of smoke rushed to his face. Jeremy stepped back into the bathroom to save his eyes from the fog. Retrieving his towel off of the rack, Jeremy covered his mouth and nose with the fabric.
“Are you sure you do not need help?”
“You just have to give it a minute.”
The smoke detector was mounted on the wall – above the kitchen cabinets. The young woman struggled to reach and turn it off. The jersey covering her curvy physique inched up her thighs as her extended arm reached for the detector on the wall. Remedy glanced over her shoulder when she heard Jeremy chuckle.
“Are you laughing at me?”
Jeremy shook his head before walking over to open the two windows in the living room. The smoke rapidly faded as the chilled November air invaded the apartment. The loud siren, however, continued echoing through the apartment. He leisurely walked up behind her. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. Remedy’s entire body trembled when his thick arms slithered around her waist.
“Are you going to turn that off?” His raspy tone resembled a whisper when his words touched her ears.
“I can’t reach it.” Her lower lip pouted out.
Jeremy’s hands roamed underneath the jersey to find her hips. Remedy was lifted off her feet until her butt touched on the rim of the sink. Stepping between her spread legs, Jeremy reached up over her head to turn off the smoke detector.
Remedy’s lips touched his wet chest. “I always feel short around you.”
“You feel short?” Jeremy brought his hands to her legs. “You are short.”
“No. I’m average height.” Her ankles locked together behind his back. “You are just freakishly tall.”
Jeremy kissed her forehead. “What you burning?”
“It was only the frying pan. The eggs didn’t make it in.”
“Let me take you out to breakfast.”
“I have class…just like I do every day.” She shook her head. “I feel like we’re repeating the same conversation every morning?”
He shrugged his shoulders. “You are too busy.”
“I’m a grad student. That happens.”
“You should empty your schedule and spend the day with me.”
“After April you can lock me in the house forever.” Remedy joked referring to the date of their wedding.
“I’m going to hold you to that.”
She sighed. “You have your degree. Why can’t I get mine?”
Remedy let her legs fall to the ground. She could feel the building tension from the tiresome topic.
“You will get it. But you need to take a break every once in awhile.”
The house phone rang.
Remedy grabbed her books before walking toward their bedroom. She knew the mention of her degree drove Jeremy crazy. Remedy simply could not understand what the big issue was. The two met in undergrad school. Remedy hoped he’d identify with her struggle to graduate. After all, Jeremy was a year ahead with his law school courses when Remedy began medical school. Every day Remedy questioned this new change of heart Jeremy had toward her degree.
She picked up the phone as it rang for the third time. “Hello.”
No sound came through the phone.
“Hello?” Remedy asked once more.
Heavy sighs invaded her ear. The stranger’s hasty exhales made the tiny hairs on Remedy’s arms stand on ends. The anonymous caller unexpectedly disconnected the line to end the call. Remedy looked at the phone in shock as a loud crash rushed to her ears. With a shrug of the shoulders, Remedy put the phone back on its receiver.
“That was weird.” Remedy finished walking toward the bedroom. “I will make you a deal. I’ll go to class right now, and we can meet up for lunch at twelve.”
Jeremy followed without a single-word response.
“Can you answer me?” Remedy stood at the dresser staring at him with her arms folded over her chest. “Am I the bad guy now?”
“No. You’re just too busy.”
“I won’t be busy tonight. We can finally go to that movie unless you work late…again.”
Jeremy sat on the edge of the bed, draping his towel over his lap. “I was going to take Katrina out to look at apartments.”
“You’re a good brother, but Katrina is taking you away from me. This will be the fifth time you take her apartment hunting.”
“I know. I think she just wants me to give her our old place downstairs.”
“Give it to her then. Why are you holding on to it?”
He shrugged his shoulders.
“Are you trying to keep it as your own personal man cave? A place to hideaway when I get on your nerves?”
He pulled Remedy onto his lap. “I would never hide from you.”
“Aww.” Her pointer finger slid down her cheek. “You’re going to make me cry.”
“Get dressed. We’re going to breakfast.”
“That’s funny. I swore I just said I have class in a few minutes.”
Part of her wanted to push the wedding back. For months, there was an annoying pain in the pit of her stomach. Something was telling her Jeremy might try to keep her finishing school once they married. She hated herself for thinking about delaying the wedding. Nevertheless, she couldn’t marry someone who didn’t support her dreams.
Jeremy leaned in to kiss her neck. “No, you don’t.”
“Yeah, I do. Maybe we can go out on Friday.” Remedy inhaled sharply when he slid her off his lap and onto the bed. “Seduction is not going to work.”
“We’ll see.” He slid the base of the jersey up above her navel.
The bare skin underneath the green fabric yearned for his touch. Jeremy flicked his tongue inside her naval. The moist muscle dragged along her pelvic bone. He blew his hot breath onto the wet trail leading to her naked sex.
“You’re a tease.” Remedy shivered as the warm air turned cold on her wet skin.
“Say you’ll spend the day with me.”
Her head leaped off the bed to stare down at him. Her lower lip disappeared between her teeth. She couldn’t tell him what he wanted to hear. Those classes were just too important to miss.
Jeremy brought her attention back to him by tapping her clit with his hand. “I’m waiting.”
“Jeremy.” Her body trembled under his touch. “I can’t.”
His hand kept her clit wide awake and her full attention on him. His wandering fingers slipped between her moist lips. The playful digits flicked at her clit, causing her hips to leap off the mattress. The thrill from each light touch made her toes curl. Remedy gripped his head, pushing him toward her beckoning sex. Their cat and mouse game continued with her pushing closer and him pulling away.
Jeremy chuckled at her yearn for release. “Just say yes.”
Spreading her labium open with his fingers, he stared at the clit peeking out of its hood. Long whimpers of distress touched his eardrums. He leaned in – brushing the nub with his nose – deeply inhaling her womanly aroma. Giving in to her physical demands, Jeremy’s probing fingers sank inside her welcoming center. The digits swam deeper pushing loud cries out of her throat.
“Change your mind yet?” Jeremy blew directly onto her clit.
She was unable to respond. Her fiancé wrapped his lips around her clit. The sensitive button disappeared in his mouth, and Remedy’s head fell back on the pillows. Her mouth open, but her words were caught in her throat. Tight knots in her muscles relaxed when she was granted the touch she begged for. Two of his fingers sawed in and out of her gripping walls. Her hips rocked against his fingers, mirroring his movements exactly. Manicured fingers sank into his long hair, pushing his tongue back into its desired location.
“You didn’t answer my question.” His tongue darted out to touch her clit.
The pit of her stomach began to flutter as shockwaves zipped up her spine. His tongue touched her over and over. She held Jeremy’s head in place determined to drown him in her moisture if she had to. Her body twitched when his lips captured her clit. Remedy screamed out at the dual pleasure of his fingers inside her and his lips sucking on her clit. The walls soon rattled with complaints from prying neighbors. Her head thrashed around on the pillows, ignoring the knocking neighbors.
“I can’t.” She whimpered.
He shook his head when he didn’t hear the response he wanted. Jeremy gradually withdrew his fingers. He could feel her walls sucking him back in and not wanting to let him go. Gripping both of Remedy’s wrists, Jeremy kept her hands in place. Labored breaths echoed out of his fiancée’s mouth. Her large breasts rapidly rose and fell as her heartbeat picked up. The blood flowing through her veins boiled under her tingling skin.
“You’re not making me happy.”
“Why are you teasing me?” She moaned.
Pulling his head back – keeping her wrists in his hands – Jeremy stared down at her glistening femininity. He licked his lips as he idealized the naked skin. Her hips rotated in the air searching for assistance to reach her orgasm. Covered in her moisture and his saliva, Remedy’s winking clit and leaking hole craved attention. The same sexual attention Jeremy was fighting not to give. Lying on his stomach – with his head directly between her spread legs – Jeremy released her wrists from his grip.
“Show me what you want.”
Her hands went straight to the places she needed him to caress. Her left hand went back and forth between both breasts. Massaging the spongy flesh with her fingers, her head tilted down to flick her tongue over her chocolate colored nipples. Remedy’s right hand drifted down to cup her pussy. She felt the heat radiating off her body. Her juices freely flowed onto her fingertips. A finger slipped inside the soaked folds. Her body jerked at the light touch on her clit.
“Jeremy.” Remedy’s eyes closed as her lower half lifted off the bed. “I want you.”
Jeremy shifted on the bed as his length hardened underneath his towel. Intently staring at his future bride, Jeremy became mesmerized watching Remedy touch herself. She knew what it took to get herself off. With him studying her every move she was willing to take her time and put on a show just for Jeremy. He watched her middle finger sink into her depth – bit by bit. Her finger made its way to her pleasurable spot. Her wet walls clamped around the penetrating finger. From the tip of her finger to the base knuckle, her entire middle finger was covered in her excitement.
“Jeremy!” Remedy’s cries grew louder when her curled finger tickled the back of her clit. The palm of her hand pressed down on the front of her clit. The release she desperately needed was fast approaching.
He leaned in closer to kiss Remedy’s knuckles. The gushing sound of her finger flying in and out of her sex made his penis jerk against the mattress. Remedy pulled out her soaked digit and brought it to her mouth. She polished her lips with her dripping finger. Not wanting to be left out the steamy scene, Jeremy slid one of his fingers inside of her. Her hips shot forward as Jeremy’s fiddling finger flicked the back of her clit. Remedy extended her hand to let Jeremy clean off her finger.
“You know I’m going to win in the end.”
“I know.” Her hands pushed into his hair. Sliding through his locks until her nails met his scalp Remedy pulled his head to her entrance. “But it is fun to make you work for it.”
The tip of his tongue parted her labia and snaked into her pussy. He dragged it along until her clit rolled over his tongue’s flat surface. Remedy grabbed at the sheets covering the bed. Jeremy’s tongue slid downward and stopped right at her leaking hole. Her back arched up as she sharply inhaled. She felt his tongue change direction and travel over her clit.
“Oh God!” Remedy paid no mind to the neighbors hitting the halls. Her entire body was consumed by desire. The need for release became more severe.
Jeremy used two fingers on his right hand to hold Remedy’s sugary folds open. Jeremy’s sly tongue tickled her warm entrance. His left thumb pressed hard on her clit, circling the sensitive button. Chills bumps arose all over her smooth skin as her entire frame shuttered at his touch. She spread her legs as wide as they possibly could go while thrusting her hips in the air. Her hands moved down to his shoulders and neck.
Jeremy felt that bubbling orgasm finally starting to hit. His fiancée couldn’t hold back any longer. He covered her hands with his; both of their fingers mauled her breast. He took Remedy’s clit between lips again and refused to let go. She wildly bucked – screaming her approval – rocking the bed until the headboard banged against the wall.
“Dear GOD!” The big wave came crashing down over her body, and it felt so great when it finally hit.
Remedy’s juices poured out of her and onto the sheets. Jeremy dipped his tongue in her dripping well. Her hips shot forward feeling her climax reaching its peak. She dug her nails into the back of his neck. The creamy liquid slipping from her open slit kept his mouth busy. Each tongue lash that was intended to clean her only made her body jerk.
Her legs clamped around his head before falling apart in defeat. For a brief second, she could not breathe, or move, or think. Her throbbing lungs began to work overtime to deliver oxygen to the rest of her body. Remedy pushed at his head, but it seemed his lips were glued to her body. She pulled the pillow from underneath her resting head and hit him with it. It took several whacks before he finally let up.
Jeremy crawled up and rested his bare chest on top of her breast. “Are you done fighting me now?”
She tried to get her breathing to return to normal. “I guess I could skip a day.”
Jeremy grinned as he got off the bed. “Go get ready.”
“Our conversation isn’t over.”
