Title: Bitter Tasting

Summary: Full, mind-blowing passion and lust isn't a bad thing in a relationship. Unless, that is, you're feeling it for someone who isn't your boyfriend - more like your boyfriend's worst enemy.

The sun shining through the blinds on the window stirred Ella out of her deep sleep. A low groan emitted from her lips, it had been a long time since she had slept this well and she was hoping to be able to bask in it a while longer. Something warm underneath her body shook her from her thoughts and she slowly opened her eyes.

It was surreal, the image before her eyes. It made a lump form in her throat and made her heart almost leap from her chest. For a moment she could have sworn she was still asleep. But she knew it wasn't a dream and now it made sense as to why her body felt at peace. It was because of him. The boy with his arms around her, holding her tight as if afraid of letting her go. Reid Garwin.

He had an arm wrapped around her small frame making her body be slightly on top of his. Not that she minded in any way. His scent, his warmth, his everything was what had lead her into such a peaceful slumber. In her dreams she had almost forgotten what had happened the prior night. But now that she was fully awake she was well aware that she had to go back to reality. In other words, she had to go back to Aaron.

Her brown eyes scanned the room until the found what she was looking for; his alarm clock. Reading the time she mentally cursed. It was almost 6:30 in the morning. She had spent the whole night with Reid, leaving Aaron in her dorm room. Damn. If Aaron had woken up she didn't even want to think of what he would do to her.

Well, at the very least he had no clue she was involved with Reid. No, for the past two years Aaron had remained utterly clueless about her 'game' with Reid. It would be a painful blow to the ego if he ever found out, which made her wonder why Reid had never tried to tell him. She couldn't imagine Aaron's reaction if he ever found out… or what her parents would do because he would obviously tell them. Ella was putting everything on the line; the engagement, her family's financial well-being, and her own status in society.

Still…

Looking down at the boy, she smiled as she adjusted her body so that she had her arms crossed over his chest and her head on her arms. It was worth it, she mused, unable to remove the silly grin plastered on her face. Unable to resist the urge, she placed gentle kisses on his torso. Waking up with him was incredible unlike how it was waking up next to Aaron. It was something she would not easily forget and would be content in having it in her memories.

As much as her heart ached at the thought, she knew she needed to leave back to her own room. With a sigh, she quickly removed herself from him and up off the bed. Standing up, she looked at the boy sleeping peacefully and took a mental picture of him. She needed to leave before he woke up; otherwise, he would start asking questions and wanting explanations. And there was no way she was going to tell him about the arrangement. It would just serve to further complicate things.

Taking one last look at him, she bit her lip in an attempt to block out the heartache she was feeling. I'm sorry; she thought as she turned away from him and started towards the door. Placing her hand on the handle of the door, she hesitated. This is harder than I thought. She was just about to turn the knob when a certain sound caught her ear. Her eyes went wide as her body froze in its place when she heard the soft chuckles coming from the boy on the bed.

"So you're just gonna leave." It was more of a statement to himself rather than a question to her. Reid sat up on the bed and watched as her hand fall from the doorknob. He had never been more confused than now; he honestly couldn't understand what could make her want to back to Aaron. After last night… he thought to himself as he clenched the bed sheets in his fists.

Her dark eyes fixated themselves on the doorknob as she retained her emotions within her. No matter how much she wanted to, she wasn't going to go back on her word. "Ye…Yes," she mumbled, mentally cursing the fact that her voice came out scared instead of strong like she wanted. She needed to be strong if she was going to do this.

"Without saying anything again…" his voice trailed off as he rose up from the bed.

Glancing over her shoulder she let out a soft huff and said, "That was the general idea." With that said, she turned back to the door and walked out. Closing the door behind, she was surprised when it flew open a second later. "Leave me alone," she said not bothering stopping her descent down the solitary hallway.

Reid quickly caught her wrist and spun her body around so that it slammed into his. "Why are you leaving," he asked, the tone in his voice was a mixture of anger and softness. An odd combination but then again the feelings fluttering through him were foreign themselves.

Ella raised an eyebrow in confusion at his question. Isn't it obvious, she mentally asked herself as she tried to pry her wrist away from his grasp. "You never seemed to have a problem about it before," she simply responded. Yanking her wrist from out of his hand she turned around to walk away from him.

Grabbing her arm once again, Reid spun her around and pinned her against the wall. His hands rested on either side of her face as his blue eyes stared into her dark ones. "That was different," he said raising his voice a bit more than before not caring that someone else might hear.

"How!" the girl underneath his gaze yelled out, completely drained from the sheer torture this boy was putting her through.

"Because I said so," he snarled flashing her his trademark smirk before crashing his lips onto hers. His hands moved from the wall to cupping her cheeks so that she couldn't break from his kiss. While at first touch their kiss was gentle, it soon turned feverish. He traced his tongue along her bottom lip and she quickly opened her mouth. He pressed her body closer to the wall as his tongue probed and explored inside her mouth. It was intoxicating – the surge running through him.

Leaving her lips, he trailed light kisses along her neck and started to nibble on her earlobes. It was insane, the need he felt for her. Just by simply tasting her lips his loins were starting to ache and gnaw at him. Of course, there was also the fact that as soon as he pulled her body closer he could feel her breasts pressing against his solid chest. It was obvious what his body wanted and he was in no position to object to his body's desire.

Reid carelessly lifted her off the ground, leaving her with no choice but to wrap a leg around his waist. He grinded his pelvis into her causing a sensation that, despite not wanting to, made her let out a soft moan. The friction he was causing was making her arousal spark to new levels. Without realizing it she let out a gasp and started shivering at the intensity of their intimacy.

It had been such a long time since they had each other that to her it felt as exciting and forbidden as the first time. Not to mention the fact she could feel his entire harden length against her crotch. If this wasn't maddening than she didn't know what was. Clutching her hands on his shirt, her mind filled with thoughts of ecstasy. It was way beyond the point of no return; there was definitely no way she could walk away now. Not that she wanted to.

She giggled against his lips as they gave each other quick chaste kisses, while they hands wandered over each other's bodies. Her hands moved to tug on his hair making him let out some chuckles against her actions. Both her legs were wrapped around his waist now as he held her hips tighter and carried her off into the dorm room. Both so drunk on lust that they were completely unaware of the pair of eyes watching them from around the corner.

Even though the bed was only a few feet away, the passion in them wouldn't allow the disturbance. Reid pressed her back against the nearest wall as his hands quickly removed the oversized t-shirt from her body. Her own hands worked off his shirt and boxers in a similar and familiar swiftness. Over the months spent together they had both grown used to having to remove their clothing in seconds for their quickies.

There was no time or patience for foreplay or teasing – they both needed to intertwine with each other. Then she felt him move his hands from her hips to her weak spot, her fetish… her ass. Strong, experienced, hands groped her ass then lifted her up to his throbbing member. As soon as he slipped inside her she gasped out his name as he immediately started making a solid uneven pace, fast and wild inside of her.

Ella licked her lips before biting down to her pouty bottom lip. She rolled her hips seductively against his member. The pleasure – it was driving her to the brink of insanity, she was completely engulfed with lust.

Reid ran his tongue over his upper lip as he continued his steady pace inside her. The urge to use and intensify the sensations was to great but he fought against it. With any other girl, he would have done it in a split second. But with Ella things were different. He didn't need to… not with her.

The way he was hammered in and out of her, it was becoming too much. Too intense. Too wild. Too unbelievable to stop. Their movements grew fervent. He fucked her harder, mercilessly plunging into her sweet tight hole, as she grew wetter. She closed her eyes, as the pleasure grew more inside her.

Reid grabbed her face and brought it inches away from his, "open your eyes," he whispered hoarsely and she immediately obeyed his request. Locking eyes with her, he casually smirked as he noticed how flushed her face was. "Say it," he growled, accentuating his point with every thrust.

She knew what he wanted her to say but with his fast movements inside her, she found it impossibly to make audible words. Her back arched off the wall from the intense pleasure running through her. Her fingernails sunk into the skin from his shoulders leaving red swollen whelps.

Then he stopped. He almost completely pulled out of her and she felt it unbelievable. Thrusting her hips she desperately tried to fill herself with him again but he wouldn't allow it. He wouldn't move an inch inside her unless she said it…

"I need you! I want you Reid!"

That was all he needed to hear. Jerking his hips forward, he brazenly impaled himself deep inside her once again. He grunted, driving into her deliciously slow then fast…slow…fast… and so. It was painfully poignant... passionate. Both their bodies trembled against each other. The need of release was rising in both of them.

"Ahh… Reid…" she barely spoke out, her red swollen lips hung open as she panted. Small hands clutched at his strong shoulders, nails further digging into his skin. Sweat rolled down her brow, as he placed wet kisses on her neck. Desperately, she sought his mouth and kissed him hard.

She could feel her back bruising with every thrust, but honestly it was only adding to her arousal. Yes, it was turning her on without a doubt. The force of his thrusts, the wet squelching noises, the sound of each other groaning… it brought both essences closer to the almighty orgasm. Cries of pleasure escaped her luscious mouth, filling the room, mingling with the heavy scent of sweat and sex.

"Reid… I… Ahh ohh…" she cried out throwing her head back as her hips bucked against him. Her legs tightened around him, her deliciously quivering inner muscles squeezing him so much that he growled between his teeth. The tightness, the silky tightness… with one powerful thrust he bit down on her shoulder as he was overcome with his own orgasm.

Withdrawing from her, he could feel her body go light. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, lifting her to carry her bridal style. She was tired… it was to be expected after such intense love…

Reid looked down at the girl in his arms as she sleepily smiled at him. Lovemaking… was that what it was? His mind ran circles as he tried to come up with an answer to his own question.

"Reid I…" she started to whisper but was silenced by a soft peck on the lips from the blond.

The boy blocked any thoughts from his head as he placed her on his bed and lay down next to her. She was his right now and that was all he cared about for right now. Reid felt her sigh as she moved so that she was draped over his body. Just like old times. Both their bodies were spent and there was nothing more to do but to sleep.

Ella took a glance at the boy before her eyes drifted closed. I guess the games… they're back on… A smile formed on her lips as she flowed into slumber, thoughts of reality far away from her mind.
